yeah but from a business standpoint, two Alien FPS games being promoted is diminishing the share of wood for their fire. the market attention would be split. people would then wonder which is the better Aliens game. it's like if whatever company promoted a Wolverine movie game and
at the sametime, promoted another Wolverine movie game (both of the same genre) at the sametime.
the sales and interest for each product would diminish. and say like Wolv game #2 seems to make some people interested, even if Wolv game #1 is released first, they wouldn't buy it since they
prefer the other game. whereas if they never really heard much about the 2nd game, they would
totally focus and buy into the marketing of the 1st.
It's really unlikely both Aliens games would even be released the same year. it would be great, but it would kind of diminish the potential sales for AvP, since not everyone would get both.
I'm interested in Gearbox's game too. but since it's under the same publisher, I wouldn't expect
it to be shown since it would wrestle with AvP for the spotlight. and then the game wars
would begin. with A:CM's 4 player campaign co-op. and AvP's triple species and potentially
superior multiplayer.
but the hardcore Aliens fans don't care about that. they will prefer the one that is more accurate with the aliens.
