Well that's a switch :P jk
I was kind of expecting this and I'm sort of glad that it happened as the demo was kind of rough around the edges when we saw it.
This is not a surprise. Then in Autumn it will be delayed for Q1 2013. In Q1 it will be delayed for Autumn 2013. In Autumn 2013 it will be delayed for Q1 2014. In Q1 it will be delayed for Autumn 2015. In Autumn 2015 it will be delayed for Q1 2016. In Q1 it will be delayed for Autumn 2016. In Autumn 2016 it will be delayed for Q1 2017. Then FINALLY we may see a release but I guess they will realize that we are already in the "next gen" so it will be delayed for sometime later for the next gen because U3 is already obsolete >:(
when was it supposed to be coming out?
perhaps they are planning on releasing it in conjunction with Prometheus's DVD/BD release?
it makes sense though, Autumn is a better selling time of year, September would be good, a good couple of months before CoD comes out, probably similar to Prometheus's home release, and a good amount of time for GBX to add finishing touches to the game.
f**k it then. I'm out.
Someone post that Hitler video.
So sick of this.

There's gotta be an end to adding the finishing touches, man. They've been working on this damn game for 7 years now. That's plenty of f**kin time.
You can just count me out on ACM. I'm sick of the delays and I'm not buying in protest.
Aliens fans have waited too long on this game for Gearbox to cop out now and try to ride on the release of Prometheus to sell copies.
I urge everyone to cancel their pre-orders until today's delay is retracted.
Personally, I don't agree with their strategy at all. I mean, now people are going to have to choose between a $30 Blu-Ray and a $60 game. Not a lot of people can spend that much money on entertainment in one week.
Autumn isn't a surprise, really. It was always going to be after Prometheus. I just get the impression that when we get to Autumn, it'll be delayed until the following year or something.
I'm not happy with how Sega has handled this game though.

you don't really think somebody worked for that game 7 years and that non-stop?
that's naive.
No, I didn't mean it as you said it. But, the excuse of "we just need to get the finishing touches done" is, well, bullshit on a game that has been in the pipeline for 7 years.

after the disastrous release of duke nukem, which I personally enjoyed very much, as long as they think this is the time they need for polishing the game, i see no problem with this.
of course, i am excited as hell about the game, but we're all adults now. :D
i have to wait 2 more months more than you to see prometheus in cinema. that's a pain in the ass and very unfair :'(

yes there has got to be an end, but the release date is decided by Sega, and is decided by when they think releasing it will earn them the most money, if it's now delayed, they can make the game as complete as glitch free as possible before release, instead of after, like most games seem to do these days, with patches etc.

Yeah, but the game hasn't been in dedicated development for 7 years. It was announced in 2006, but according to interviews they started dedicated development sometime in early to mid 2010.
I'd rather a delayed game then a rushed piece of garbage.
On the other hand I agree that at some point the expectations accumulated from anticipation start to run the risk of exceeding the actual product. Releasing in Fall also runs other risks, such as a larger amount of competition.
Maybe Sega thinks it can compete with the big boys, which to me is not such a bad sign.
At least we're not waiting for Half-Life 2 episode 3 :D
The screenshots from Game Informer in 2008 look pretty damn dedicated to me.
Don't sit around and argue when you could do something about it and cancel your pre-orders.
In the meantime I suggest we do lots of public bitching all over Facebook and any updates Gearbox or Sega may post today.

The gameinformer pics were prototypes. They were essentially props staged in Unreal to help sell the concept to Sega and Fox. No code had been written at that time.
You might want to just chillax. I can understand being disappointed, but what is public bitching really going to get you? It hasn't gotten us much in the past 5 years I'll tell you that much. There are much more important things to get your blood boiling.
This is a sorry sight, but the fact that they have taken more time to do it is good so it will mean we get a better game, tighter and more polished.

Not to mention that we have Prometheus to keep us busy in the meanwhile! Stay positive people.

THATS THE SPIRIT GUYS! I am with you 100%! I suffered enough of this shit. What GBX are thinking? That they can compete with the "big" games in Autumn? Rolf how naive! Everyone who are they aiming for to buy ACM will go for the big mainstream title instead of ACM thats for sure but they will lost the core of ACM - us, because we wait for this game since 2006 (or even 2000 if we count the PS2 game as ACM game). Without our dedication this project would be already dead LONG time ago. To wait for ACM is like to wait to see a ghost - it will never happen. But we "were there" after all. We are still waiting for our "ghost". Well not anymore, SEGA (or GBX).
And yeah someone gotta make Hitler's reaction to ACM delay!
Maybe it just needs more work? Or maybe they are pushing forward with multiplayer and playable Aliens.
If so, great. Worth the wait.
If not, we'll know in a few months.
>:( Everyone says that same crap every time.
It's a disservice to the fans. The game is complete.
Quote from: EarthAngel on Jan 26, 2012, 04:02:45 PMThe game is complete.
How do you know? Do you work at Gearbox?
To be honest i was half expecting it to get delayed, we haven't really seen much of the game since E3 if anything other than the 11 minute walk-through and some small snippets of info, it was pretty naive to think the game would be coming out March/April or the latest May since usually before any high profile game comes out we see more of it via magazine/online previews plus advertisements just before release.
This hasn't been the case with ACM at all sadly but I'm not really to fussed about it as long as it does come out some point this year then i'm happy enough. Hopefully we'll get to see more of ACM at E3 this year, really won't be happy if its some stupid behind closed doors crap again.
In short, here is hoping the delay benefits ACM. :)

And you know this how?
If gearbox is still in the process of writing story elements and recording dialog then the game is not complete. As of November they were still in pre-alpha. Sega is not delaying the game to troll you. It was just poor planning on their part to say it was coming out in the Spring. It was pretty evident from the E3 demo that the game was still in pretty early development when they announced that release window.
This is very discouraging ,to be waitimg for a game and getting delaya after delays.
ON THE PLUS SIDE,there are many other great games out right now to keep gamers busy.
Its a great business move to have the game release after Prometheus hits theather,to boost
Sales.And right around the holidays.
More sales = more chances to get a sequel.
AND hopefully they will be using the next few months to perfect the game.
As we can see,the game is near completion.IF they can make the game that much better in
the next 6 months and release a REAL fps contender instead of a Alien fan
Lackluster,the waiting will pay off.
A demo release of the multiplayer would be a great move to promote game and show the waiting fans
That the game is fun and engaging,and will be well worth the wait.
Well, if they delayed the release of the game then maybe it's simply to put more time and effort into it so as to make it a better game; hopefully this will go a lot better than Jurassic Park The game by TellTale Games. I'm actually a little relieved as I've been afraid that the release of this game would decrease the number of AVP2010 players and I still need to get that Real Nasty Habit Trophy.
At this point I think they should cancel the game, give the script to James Cameron and let him go make it a movie
I know that because I'm not a gullible moron. They're just holding out to get more money off the frenzy Prometheus is going to stir up. It's called deductive reasoning.
You guys act like you're not sick of waiting, so wait some more.
I'm not sick of waiting; I still have AVP2010 to beat.
HA! Did someone mention a sequel? Yeah, that'll be released around the time of the Xbox 1080. :laugh:
And, by most of your guy's theory, the should just never release the f**kin' game. I mean, it can always get better, right?
Just copied this from the site:
Availability
Spring, 2012
PlayStation®3 system,
PC,
Xbox 360®
Looks like SPRING to me...
They just changed the date back to Spring 2012. If this was a typo I'm sure they will let us know soon. Unofficially all that is being whispered is around the middle of 2012 so this is all bit confusing for me as well.
WHOO! WHOO! WHOOO! WHOOO! WHOOO! WHOOO! WHOO! That's what I'm talkin' about!
See, EarthAngel? There probably wasn't a need to worry after all.

-Edit- Date changed again! Well if it does get delayed i'm more than prepared for it. :)

No that's called flawed reasoning and making radical assumptions because you're upset.
maybe they jumped the gun, before a press release
I'd like to think someone was watching and that I've done alittle good for the world today.

Well, that's actually a reason why many games are pushed back. Look at Gears of War 3. They just came out and bluntly stated that they pushed it back 4 months to make more money.
The only confirmed release date is the one where I have the game in my hand. Anything beyond that is just a guess.
Huh, I guess that's a good way to look at it.

This seems somewhat likely to me. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a new "reveal" followed by a more concrete release date in the fall. It seems weird that they would just randomly decide to change the release to fall then suddenly switch it back.
If they push it back again I'm going to do everything I can to cause mass mutiny. If people start pulling thier pre-orders you can bet they'll cut thier losses and switch back. 57 years later... This time it's WAR!
I've waited this long so what's another few months? I've got other games to play and books to read so it's not like I'll be crying myself to sleep every night. It's no secret how passionate Gearbox is towards making this game and it would be silly to blame them or Sega for not wanting it to be as successful as possible- whether that means a potential delay for fine tuning or an alternate release window. Did everyone forget already how long Aliens: Infestation was done and sitting on a shelf at Sega? Also, this is all just specualation on why the date was changed, if it will be at all. So, you know, just relax. Nature of the beast and all that.
The biggest mistake was announcing this game back in 2006 before everything was figured out.There were good things about it, like giving us time to get our input in, but it has only made the development for game feel dragged out. Had it been announced for the first time at last years E3, another delay wouldn't seem like a big deal.
Gawwwd. I have to look on the bright side... hopefully they'll present a very polished product. On the other hand, after such a long time, they had better deliver a very polished product, else people be mad as hell. They really need to take advantage of the extra time, could be a blessing or a curse.
I still remember writing a letter to Check Six Games back in... I think 2000, practically begging them to have co-op in the game. Was in the glory days of Halo 1.
So if you remember the old PS2 development, you can safely say your anticipation has been building for twelve years. :laugh:

I think it's going to get pushed back and then pushed up and then pushed back again before it finally get canceled altogether.
I told you guys this would happen.
Maybe it was Gearbox's joke to change the release dato to fall 2012 and change it back to spring to see your reactions =)
I'm telling you man, I got a bad feeling about this release...

I'm confused now since is it Fall or Spring time for this game to get released? I think we know enough about the game and I hope we will have it around Summer time. Having it around Fall time could be bad with games like Halo 4 coming out that could over shadow it.
to hell with this rubbish game, its been in development for so long im just fed up of it....no way it can live up to expectation...
Sorry guys.. i have more hope for Natural Selection 2 then this game.
Atleast now NS2 is playAble.

I smell a PR stunt, get the whole internet riled up with a "Delay" quickly change it back then announce an imminent trailer release (Proberbly ending with an exact release day, i'm feeling april). Smart way to build hype, wouldn't be surprised at all if ikarop is in on it!

Update: The date has been changed back to Spring 2012 on the official website. Still no comment from Sega.
You just wrinkled my brain.
Gearbox just tweeted that a new trailer will be on IGN tomorrow.
gamstation and game have had the release date at 12th august for a few weeks now , i sent like link to a mod to see what they thought , looks more plausible now.
Thank God they brought it back to spring. It'll be nice to see a new trailer tomorrow too :).
Delay has been confirmed by both SEGA and Gearbox.
Gutted.

the new duke nukem forever ? :laugh:
Ahhh, that's very true. Wait, that was developed by Sega too, right?
Can't say i'm dissapointed i kinda forgot about this game with all the delays and everything it keeps getting. Oh well.. there is other great games coming out this year to keep me occupied. Looking forward to the trailer!

As much as this one? The Nukem game is the only one I can think of right now. And, it wasn't necassirly the delay I was talking about. They said the aren't following a blue-print. What? So, they basically went into this game without a gameplan.
Official website still says spring 2012.... http://www.sega.com/alienscolonialmarines/ (http://www.sega.com/alienscolonialmarines/)
f**k it lol
As long as the game ammounts to the best job they can do i couldnt care if it got delayed another year, i dont want another rushed job that starts thread after thread of " i hate you gearbox for raping my childhood memories of aliens" etc etc blah blah blah..........
And each one of you motherf**kers who are claiming to not be buying this.......... Your gonna be there buying it on day f**king one............ Just like me :)
Peace out bitches
Just some thoughts........
rush job ??? ::)
how many years have this game been in development by now ??
(manymanymanymanymany)
Yes....... But its "aliens"
I think when dealing with a franchise of this magnitude, deathstar type methods should be enforced at all times and anything less is destined to resort in some pesky jedi firing a missile down your exhaust vents and pissing all your efforts up the wall :)
I think as much time should be taken as possible........anything less is futile

I know............im good :)

At the massively high bar you guys are setting, anything less than perfection wouldn't be acceptable. I believe this game will be good, but not the end all Alien game. When it comes to media(Games, Movies, Music) when something is delayed, it means that something has gone wrong. Wrong.

Agreed and well put. It seems like a lot of their time is currently going into trying different and innovative ideas, which I'm all for. As a fan I would play this game if it was a straight coop shooter, but they have to do something to make it stand out as its own unique experience if they want to prevent it being buried under the pile of other great games coming out this year.
Granted the negative part to this is that the extra wait is building up expectations to a critical level, so here's hoping they knock it out of the park.
I mean........... We all "love" this franchise and should do nothing else but fully support gearbox for trying to give us the most kickass aliens experience that they can...........Not some "effort" that they thought about delaying but didnt because a few "fans" wanted it NOW lol
God id love to see that press conference

"well we knew it didnt make sense that it was not finished but thought f**k it......... Lets give all those impatient kids down at avp.net another rebellion style effort lol"
Dude, it's been 6 f**kin years. And, don't give me that it's not complete bull shit. They would have to have LITERALLY started making the game a year ago for that to be the case.
I'm just really pissed today guys. Delays in games and movies really piss me off for some reason.
Its gearbox setting the high bar..........hence the delay

At the massively high bar you guys are setting, anything less than perfection wouldn't be acceptable. I believe this game will be good, but not the end all Alien game. When it comes to media(Games, Movies, Music) when something is delayed, it means that something has gone wrong. Wrong.
DOOOM!
Hell, I would seriously be happy with an average shooter with some scary aliens and nice customization options with a variety of modes in multiplayer. I don't care if it's not the greatest game ever made, I just want it to be decent enough to attract a lot of players.
I mean, I disliked new AvP multiplayer, but I still enjoy playing it sometimes. You can hardly do that because no one's on. It just sucks all around.

This is the only time in my life I've ever agreed with Hitler.
I'm fine with this delay considering that E3 demo is the only gameplay we've seen and it was pretty weak to say the least.
What we need is some sort of preview or something just to see what the current state of the game is, that one minute cgi trailer out soon means sweet f**k all.

No, its people. Nearly everybody on here as said "Oh well, atleast they'll have time to polish it up and make it the greatest game ever" That's people saying that, not GBX. There is a reason this is getting delayed so much. I doubt the game will be any less glitchy than other games that are released on their first dates.

Maybe try doing some push ups :)
I had waited 10years to see an alien vs predator movie........ Imagine the feelings of betrayal i felt when it came out pmsl
Your still not at "that" point so please relax yourself and watch some starwars :)
Thanks, man. I'll probably throw in Aliens. :)

I agree with that. I would love to have a good Aliens game come out in April. I mean, I could be dead by time the perfect Alien game came out in October.
Why dont we all go out and rebuy avp , play it for 20mins and thank every god in the book for this delay nonsense lol :)

It's been only 5 years since it was announced actually and if you read this interview here: http://gamestar.ru/article/1805.html (http://gamestar.ru/article/1805.html) you will see they clearly state they started dedicated development on the game early 2010.
QuoteWell, despite they announced it a long time ago I've started to work on it early last year, it's really when we started development... you now for real with a team. So a time previous to that was just announcement and I think that in many ways it's turning out well because the technologies gotten better, the Gearbox worked on the story longer, so this is the best work on pre-production that we have ever done.
I think the real problem is Sega is poor at planning ahead and probably should have never even given an estimated release date. They could have very well just pulled a valve and said "when it's done".
Well, that's two years, than. That's the average time for a game to be completed(Gears of War as an example). Which makes this a little less painful. But, one more delay after this one, and...well, Ill just bitch again.

Trust me. I can understand your frustration as delays can really suck, especially when it is announced so close to the planned release. And whether or not its been in development for only a few years we still have been waiting a long ass time. It's just I feel this delay is finally justified with the development only beginning within the past few years and the state of the demo when we saw it in E3.
I enjoyed AvP, but if we want more games like this A:CM has to be a better game.
bet its the same skins n engine as the avp2000 nonsense one . riding on the shirt tail of the movie release , a quick copy paste inside job...........the bar they have to fire above is skyrim bf3 and mw50 from grfx to gameplay they couldnt even limbo past bioshock on the last one
ill have £10.00 bet says you still cant get over a knee high box or under a half closed door
Thank God! My PS3 is dead and I have exams in Spring. ;D

Too bad AVP has been dead for over a year now. No point on replaying it when no one hardly plays the game, if you do find a match then it will just be Predator spammers. I guess Street Fighter X Tekken in March will keep me busy until summer time.

Amen to that, i'ma gonna get SF x Tekken too. Hopefully dudley will be revealed sorry to go a little off topic.
Yeah Avp is pretty much dead tho i just go through the campaign now and again if i cba.
Interesting to note
The prequel to alien and the sequel to aliens coming out the same year, with the alien prequel 1st.........almost like its fate or something ..................... Lmao:)
Just some thoughts
I posted this already in the release date thread, but that discussion seems to have moved here...

Anyway, I'm equally bummed and happy about the delay. On the one hand, I want to play it NOW. On the other hand, I was worried about the game being a total flop since there's been no real promotion thus far. If they use this time to improve the game AND make the general public aware of it, then we might have a great game to look forward to, as opposed to a mess.
Personally, I don't think that AVP2010 was a bad game. But I'd like to see ACM do even better, commercially and critically.
I really hope it is released in the Halloween season similar to Infestation. A release window like that is good for the holiday season as well.

Canceling my pre-order for something else. Of course I'll pre-order it again once it gets close to when it will actually come out. But I'm tight on money and other things are coming out that I wanna get.

LAME!
Too much waiting too much hype! Thats why this game gonna sucks big time! It will not come up to our expectations! Waiting 7 years for a game much more like the latest AVP...it will be nothing more im afraid but this waiting makes us belive that "whooohooo they are just want to make it perfect", yay...no, its just a shooter, im afraid it wll not have a great story, not have great characters, only graphics, gore and MAYBE excitment but honestly after horror games like silent hilll and after live action games like modern warfare....what the F are they doing with this because stuff like these in ACM WILL NOT BE INCLUDED. Its just a nice shooter.

Im just standing with 2 feet on the ground and i dont get my hopes up...so if the game gonna nothing more than just an avp im not gonna stress but if it will be a lil bit cool i will be suprised and happy. But its my choice ;) wich not recmmended to follow.
HAHAHHA the hitler video was fun !! HAHAHAH rep ! xD
Hi,
I'd be interested to know if the multiplayer plays similarly to Left 4 Dead versus mode, where the opposing side play as aliens trying to stop the marines from reaching their goal/destination.
Also, will the game be heavily scripted with monster closets or more randomly generating like AVP1 on the PC. Personally I like a more flexible approach, where a hive will be constantly pumping out aliens and marines will have constantly to be on the move and conserve ammo. Staying put= certain death eventually.
Thanks Gearbox, I wish you strength to work hard on the game! It will pay off.
Wrong topic mate.
The new trailer seems to confirm an Autumn release date.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMhpFpJSwgA#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMhpFpJSwgA#ws)
having just got in and watched the trailer .it realy is just the old game put in the marine world....nice cut scene advert of what the story sequences will be like
cos i is gangsta for a 50 year old
I'm a WEE-BIT torqued off about this... For the last HOW MANY YEARS we've been strung along with supposed release dates, screen shots, interviews and trailers.. we were PROMISED early 2012.. and as a result, I built a brand-new badass gaming computer - something I've been putting off for 3 years waiting for this to come out - only to be told that I will have to wait even longer...
If the end result is a better product, I'm all for waiting; but don't string me along just to keep interest high, because that's bad business - and now I have to spend MORE $$$ to upgrade my computer in the autumn. I wish these guys knew how hard it was to afford things like this when you have child support to pay, and college savings accounts to fill. In fact, I think they need to pay me a bit of interest and royalties on this product; I've been INTERESTED for 25 years, and I've been a loyal fan of Gearbox's, and who's products I've recommended to friends many times over the years.
Hope this game turns out great and this delay is worth it.
Can't wait
I will get/download this game in "that" way, just because they are using the consumers like toys. I`m waiting this game since 2008 and the only thing i see so far is DELAY DELAY DELAY!
! I hope they do a awesome/perfect game in my point of view, that will be the only way i get this game in "the good way".
I have no respect for Sega. Not after AVP 2011. That game had so much potential, but they cut support for it at the first sign of trouble. f**k Sega up the ass with a combistick. This game wont be any different. They've had more than enough time to get this game polished and complete. Someone is dropping the ball, and I bet it's because of Sega being complete dick wads. Gearbox may be doing their best to make a great game, but if Sega doesn't just shell out the cash and shut the f**k up, the game will be damaged goods before it's released. That's exactly what happened to AVP 2011.
What's AVP 2011?
I wonder if the delay was so they could release it on Wii U since Nintendo plans to release the Wii U in November?

I'd still suspect that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game would be better and more impressive, tho.
The PC version will be the best.
I don't care since i heard you probably can't even give your comrades commands like in Star Wars Republic Commando. Just another shooter with usual bots accompanying you? Booo.
This sucks, a month or two delay is one thing, buy we could possibly be waiting until 30th November.. thats 306 days, the earliest original spring target (March 1st) is only 31 days away... that's a POSSIBLE 275 day difference! There must be some big problems on this project. =(
Im a little concerened with Aliens CM going up against Borderlands 2. If they want Aliens to sell more, i think its best they spread out those release dates. Plus, i dont want Aliens to fall behind on the marketing side of things. People want BL2 bad. Not many know of ACM like we do. We'll see i guess. Either way, that trailer is sweet.
BL2 will be released before A:CM for sure. In May or something. And with this kind of marketing for A:CM, BL2 will sell more, way more :D
I have a feeling that they will likely give us a ACM beta code for BL2.

That's not going to happen as 2K doesn't want to support a game from another publisher...
Yeah, we're more likely to get a beta code in another 2K game, rather than another gearbox game.
Maybe Bioshock Infinite or something, assuming that comes out first, we know a lot more about it.
Maybe its something to do with this

Read the replies!!!! There's secondary objectives, does that make it less linear?
Achievements would be my guess, but it would be great to have a bit of a branching story.
SEGA rep saying SEGA game going to be awesome = lol.
QuoteYes, ACM will bring you inside The Derelict on LV-426.
YES.
Seems like a delay is a good thing,no point bringing out a game if its half assed,like AVP 2010.
Yes the delay is good because they have time to correct some bugs from A:CM.

personally, i think this announcement reeks of PR spin for "it`s SO broken that we just wouldn`t get away with it... so we`ll wait until it`s at least passable(and will make some money back)"
.... and
THEN they`ll rush it out and immediately drop support for it" ;)
