QuoteGiven crossover between the Predator's taste in murderous gadgets and the gizmo-driven frenzy of Borderlands, a question about Gearbox's interest in Arnold Schwarzenegger's least favourite extra-terrestrial seemed appropriate. Thomas wouldn't say much, but conceded that the idea had a certain charm.

"Hey if people want a Predator game and if Gearbox want to make one... Somebody somewhere with a better title than I will hash that detail out someday, but as a developer I'm always excited to work on anything new because it's a new challenge."

If by somehow nightmare this happens, I will seriously bomb Gearbox HQ.

I would buy it because I'm a consumer whore.

The second option is what I thought as soon as I saw this topic. HELL NO! And if they did I know to wait till after 10months of release to get it at a 3rd hand store for $1. The end

Gearbox like the idea of being a big name developer but have proven they don't want to put in the hard work to do it. Nor do they have the talent required, honestly.

So HELL NO!

Depends who you talk to, I guess. They're well made and fun games, but personally I don't think Borderlands is as great as it is popular. They essentially have an addictive functionality in the form of looting and gun collecting which overshadows what is just a standard shooter. The cartoon graphics could be considered a style by some, too, but it's more likely just a way to cut workload and texture the whole game in quicker time.

Gearbox's approach to gaming is always gimmicky, lacks proper substance and is marketing-heavy. And they usually work out the best way to do something with the least amount of effort.

I'll never trust in Gearbox.

They should never be allowed any more movie licenses 

I suggest we perform Exterminatus upon these vile, unclean Heretics. Their existence cannot be aloud to continue. Many franchises are at risk because of their tainted touch.

I wouldn't touch it.

Aw hell naw!

I don't want Gearbox's horrendous random stat weapons and terrible level design anywhere near Predator.

This.

What sort of question is this? Given that everyone already knows about the Borderlands-ACM sham, I'm surprised that this requires debate.

I wouldn't mind seeing GBX go right under. I don't care about Borderlands. They were fun but the games are just pointless... their charm wore off after the first playthrough. Let them rot for being handed a golden opportunity and destroying it over the course of 6 years

Simply put, no. I don't enjoy many of their games to begin with except for the first Borderlands. The sequel was a disappointment and after what they did to ACM I don't want them anywhere near anything AVP related. I say we just let Rebellion get another chance for anything related to Aliens or Predators and hopefully they'll get the time to fully polish and develop the game. They did great with AVP Classic, so I know they can do it again.

Exactly. Or I'd prefer if FOX took our favorite licenses and gave them to someone else... any suggestions? I'd like to see Visceral Games make an Aliens game but... EA...

After spending $60,000,000 on a game that spent 6 years being thrown back and forth between the primary developer and its outsourced workforce only to make average sales at best; they squandered one of Fox' greatest IP assets and the result was the most retarded game of the year.  Not just worst, but RETARDED.

Fox is gonna permit that to be repeated, right?

RIGHT?

RIGHT?!

If such a project does get green-lit, anyone who expects better and buys it deserves to be stung. 

-Windebieste.

EDiT:  Oh, the article is date stamped, 12 Dec 2012.  Well before release and prior to anyone knowing what a mess 'A:CM' was going to be.  So, fergit about it.  Aint gon happen.   What a joke.   

I  think I almost threw up in my mouth upon reading the thread title. Gearbox should never be allowed to touch the IP ever again after the A:CM debacle.

Rebellion just aren't what they used to be. They had a shot and while I liked the 2010 AVP, it was fairly substandard. Face it man, they're just not up to it anymore.

Substandard was right. I played it to death, yeah, got 100% Achievements. However, the Rock-Paper-Scissors thing just didn't make sense from a realistic point of view and coincidentally didn't play well, especially online (what with a small amount of lag being the difference between life and death lol).

I'm not sure I'd trust them to wipe my arse without outsourcing it and botching the whole thing, leaving shit smeared all around the cubicle walls....

I may not agree with how demonbane phrased the poll, but I wouldn't trust Gearbox within a mile of any of my favorite franchises; they'll just take the money and spend it on Borderlands 3, then expect Sega or whatever publisher stupid enough to trust them these days to give them more money for the project they were supposed to be working on in the first place.

I wouldnt put Gearbox in charge of making instant noodles let alone the Predator franchise.

Out of curiousity, how do you people  think a Gearbox-made Predator game would be like? I haven't played A:CM yet, so I don't know if it's as dungtastic as it's said to be, but I'd still like to know.

Lazy and broken at best. Play Duke Nuke'm. That is how they would interpret the predator franchise.....

That said.... looking at the stuff fox wanted to be in AvP:R and the stuff Sega/Fox wanted put in AvP(2010) I am wondering just who the problem with the franchise is. Is it all gearbox? Or did Fox insist on the Boiler? Just who was it that sent the fabled "more like CoD" request?
Did Fox have to sign off on everything Gearbox did, as is the case with Prodos Games (the miniature game)?
We already know the horrible bulky (no helmets) look in AVP was due to Sega feedback... or was it feedback from Fox?!

Hell no! That is all to that and hope gearbox goes down soon.
Seems most people forget how bad work they put on: Duke nukem forever, another one of their projects they also took money from.
And aliens colonial marines they did the same thing. Stay away from Gearbox!

I honestly wish Raven software still made PC FPS or the old Monolith that made AVP2 was still around because quite frankly there doesn't seem to be a game developer around anymore that does sci fi action games well in general.

I have no memories of Rebellion from their AVP1 days and personally I found AVP2010 rather average so I would not pick them myself to ask to make another Alien, Aliens, or Predator based game.

Gearbox pretty much shot itself down with Aliens Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever before that.
Now I know that DNF was developed by 3D Realms and Gearbox finished it for publishing, and that ACM was done by three developers, but Gearbox was running the show and they screwed it up, plain and simple.

Also the Borderlands games were never that good to begin with, just repetitive grind fests after a while.

Now if there is another Predator game intended for the portables my first choice would be Wayforward as they seem to have a knack for such games, though I would insist it is an original story and not based on any of the movies or books/comics.
A shame Wayforward has never tried its hands on making a big console or PC based shooter, creative wise I think they could pull it off.

Trust? No. Play? Yes.  Enjoy? Maybe. Though I think it should probably have both Predator & human campaigns, don't really give a shit about multiplayer though....but I have doubts Gearbox will get their fingers on Predator...

I hope not. Gearbox has f**ked me twice. I was juiced for the duke nukem so I got the collector's edition n got a damn little paper weight duke head for 40 bucks extra. Then f**ked me for A:CM. Then I ended up buying both Duke n Aliens agian cause Randy Pitchford is the antichrist. He has my soul :'(. I would end up buying it anyways if they did make it.

I wouldn't trust them on the McDonald's Franchise.  >:(

Was tempted to vote yes for giggles but the mere mention of Gearbox makes my finger twitch for the "no" option.
