Since the original thread went wildly off track, I've decided to start a nice new clean one. Any Twitter updates or articles stating the progress of the game, please post here.

Gearbox!
Gearbox Software continues the now well established PAX tradition of "What's up with Gearbox" panel! We'll be discussing Borderlands and the DLC packs, the Brothers in Arms franchise and Aliens: Colonial Marines. There will be time during the panel for gamers to get answers on all their favorite Gearbox games. There may even be a little Claptrap surprise!
Panelists include: Randy Pitchford [CEO, Gearbox Software], Brian Martel [Executive Vice President, Gearbox Software], Mikey Neumann [Creative Director, Gearbox Software]
SEE, the prophets of the A:CM Deity will be speaking at Pax Prime.
If you think about it, you can actually connect A:CM with a Jesus like story.
First there was the PS1 game which died and then was "resurrected" as the next gen A:CM only for it to be a very mysterious, secretive and quiet journey after the resurrection.
oh hell yes!!!
p.s. hicks, i tried to send you a pm but it didnt work???
Sweet :) it seems we'll hear about its progress after all. Besides that I'm still hoping for the DNF rumors to be true ;D
Same, I want A:CM and DNF and a Borderlands 4th DLC and eventually a Borderlands sequel.
Wanna say twaz about time, but let's see what happens.
I hope to see something there. It'll be a nice change of pace. Some videos would be lovely ;D

What bro said.
Finalllllly. i hope they at least have a trailer. But at least this means the game is still being made.
A trailer would be epic!
I want to hope, i really do but alas i fear my heart will be broke once again if i do, i'll believe it when i see it. :-\
If they do reveal anything, it's been so long since we last saw any info that the game could look completely different now than those old screenshots.
Fingers crossed we get some good news, Colonial Marines has been in a black hole for far too long.
Phew...at last some moving! I hope we will see screens and all hopes for trailer!
Even if we don't see the game itself I am betting this is their way of putting the game back out in the media. Hopefully meaning we will see it at events coming afterward like Eurogamer
I hope the rumors of them at Pax are true....
Pax is very low key, they never give much info there, the big news happens at E3 tokyo game show and maybe eurogamer other than them it will just be random.

What are you celebrating?
Until I see an official HD 1080p teaser trailer and some serious gameplay footage that puts AVP 3 in the hurt locker, I ain't celebrating nothing.
The game can still get cancelled or have a ridiculous release date something like late 2011 :D
Yeah, that would be so they're style.
I'm easily excited by anything A:CM related. It is the reason I joined this site, afterall.
If they're style is being grammatically incorrect.

I can wait till 2011 but in between now and then some news + media would definitely be needed.
Something, just something that you can see instead of hear. I could careless of Q and A, thats all talk. I can already see how this is going to unfold.
Question : So Randy, is Alien Colonial Marines still in the works?
Answer : Yes, we are still working on it and it looks good, I'm very happy with it.
^ Ummm ok, that really doesn't tells us much since your opinion on the game really doesn't matter. You could have said the game is a masterpiece and the game ends of being a complete fail by the fans when it's released. It really doesn't matter what he saids at all, in the end it's all talk and no walk.
The only way you can truly be taken seriously is if you show physical evidence to support what you are saying, a trailer, gameplay footage ect.
Stop putting these negative things, theirs going to be a trailer n gameplay !! :'( :'( please
Listen I'll be the first one to jump for joy and flood these forums with positivity the moment I see something real, something I can sink my teeth in, a teaser trailer or gameplay footage.
Until I see something real, anything they say is completely invalid. So don't get me wrong, I really do hope they do show us something.

Don't be upset if we get nothing at Pax Prime other than talk. I think it will be Eurogamer where they start to show off A:CM IF they are using Pax Prime to remind people the game is being made.

AdamF (marketing coordinator of GBX) posted this on GBX forums:
QuoteHave a first hand look at live presentations and never before seen footage of upcoming Gearbox releases!
Now, that is getting me a little pumped. :)
I doubt it will be a:cm, borderlands 2 maybe, like I said before in shows small like pax, they (usually) only show more of what everyone has seen, so if a game has had only screen shots and maybe a teaser they might give some more screens and another trailer, and if they have shown mp/co game play and mp/coop trailer they might give some sp game play or a trailer or vise versa, though this isn't always the case there are exceptions but this is the usual, and I know there hasn't been anything for borderlands but it is a known series that there is a almost guaranteed sequel, though it doesn't mean acm isn't there I am sure, almost positive it will be, just not game play, a q/a, screenshots and a teaser trailer maybe, and maybe a behind closed doors unplayable game play or another trailer though. Though behind close door stuff is useless to us anyway.
What ever it is, after all this time it's better that nothing.
But thats the problem I'm talking about right there, it falls under that lame scale of "it's better than nothing" :-\
I'm happy with being easily excited. Although my standards for what constitutes as 'news' about this game are probably pretty low.

climax happiness.
AS long as its news its good. But the bigger things like videos, trailers are the things to get exited about.
DAMN, there goes another thread! Is it really that hard to limit ourselves to status updates in status update thread?! And I'm no better really...
I thought this was for both status updates and comments about the status updates.
Quote from: Space Voyager on Aug 23, 2010, 06:36:10 AMIs it really that hard to limit ourselves to status updates in status update thread?!
What Status updates? if it was a thread dedicated to just that then you would find it being a very unlively place to post, its no surprise the mear mention of this game brings frustration and another "olol its going to be either cancelled or another DNF game" posts.
The only status update we've had is that GBX will be at PAX but even then there is no guarentee that the game will be there and i'm honestly expecting the whole "we're working on it, be patient" bollocks, i don't want to say any more since what happened to the other thread because of the shit storm Ash* prevoked so i'll say no more about how i really feel when it comes to this game.
Heh ironic is that i'm actually going to be in Seattle when PAX rolls around, if i had the slight bit of confidence in GBX/Sega and if it was possible i would go. :-\
That was why the old thread was cut down, because it contained practically no status updates and a lot of ranting.
Hicks was right about the speculations thread, let's keep this one clean.

I tried to tell ya. A game with no news, no updates, no footage can only mean one thing.....
its going to be cancelled. Think about it, how long did it take to make AVP 3? Not never long, we heard about it and bam before you knew it, it was released.
They wouldn't post it on there games for pax if it was, websites speculate all the time.

and you don't know much about the development for avp do you they were already making it for about 2 years before sega even announced it, because sega only anounced it when they had the rights to the avp franchise.

You don't know much about the development of avp do you it was in development for a year or two before sega even got the rights to it, so yeah, just because thats when a game is announced doesn't mean thats when they start making it.
Damnit, MrBrokenTusks. I was going to post exactly that... Oh well, less writing for me. ;D
Look lol, relax ok.
All I'm sayin is, when AVP 3 pictures came out before anyone knew it the game was released. When Aliens Colonial Marines first released it's pictures.....
thats all we got for years. By this time already, the fans should have already played the dam game, got bored of it and already in the talks about ACM2 ;D
We've all passed the point of which a dog should have been thrown a bone atleast a solid full year ago.
Ok I'm done, promise. You can all continue to support the invisible game and the invisible man lol.
Well my personal opinion i think its still being worked on, this game will have a huge fan base, adding new fans aswell, they could announce it a pax and show it off for more upcoming events, theirs no reason to doubt it yet, sega said we'd hear more after avp 3, here the information comes ;) ( i hope)

I think that the first thing we need to establish is whether or not Gearbox got clearance from their leaders over at FOX to disclose any new information about this game. Otherwise it wouldn't be the first time we were promised information by GBX and given nothing.

A confirmation of Duke could be good or bad. DNF is a much more high profile game than A:CM. If GBX is still committed to A:CM, they could step up their effort and get this thing out the door so that they can begin finishing DNF as soon as possible. On the other hand, they may just decide to cancel A:CM altogether so that they can focus on DNF immediately.
Or they could make both so everyone can be happy with two potentially awesome games.

...that's what i was saying. ::)
I suppose, it didn't seem like that at first. :o ;D
And the other side is IF(Oh my god NO,PLEASE NO !!!) they say they will work on DNF and after that on A:CM. If this happen I guarantee you that we will never see A:CM :'( All my hopes are in PAX. I want to wake up and see reveal and gameplay trailer at Gametrailers. This can be like early XMass for us you know!

I agree. I will pay very close attention to exactly how things are said about this game when GBX answers questions about it. Here are some phrases that I think are signs that this game is doomed:
...If all they say is, "We are still working on it and the progress is great. We can't wait to show it to you later" (obviously).
...If they give a tentative release date for ANY one of their other projects but do not say a single thing about a tentative release date for A:CM.
...If they announce a new or secret project and say they are shifting a lot of their resources to it.
What I think will happen is that most of GBX will be working on A:CM but a small part of their team will be working on Duke Nukem (Either Begins or Forever)
So 3/4 on A:CM
and 1/4 on DNF or DB.
Randy Pitchford has been interviewed as part of a Kotaku article looking at guns in videogames, where he begins his response with this interesting tidbit:
QuoteWe've got an arsenal of weapons — from authentic WW2 small arms to futuristic guns that inspired Borderlands to an actual Pulse Rifle from Aliens that fires .45 calibre ammunition.
Now obviously this doesn't reveal anything much on its own, but it seems significant that
Aliens was one of the first things that popped into his head, and certainly suggests that Gearbox isn't trying to downplay its link with the franchise, as you might expect if they were moving toward cancellation.
Read the full article here - http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/08/what-do-game-developers-know-about-real-guns/ (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/08/what-do-game-developers-know-about-real-guns/)
Either that, or he remembered it because it's... well, unique.
Also, I want one.
I think it's sweet they had an actual bullet firing PR made. That is so unique amongst the firearms people.
Too bad the gun doesn't sound like the movies, but if it did that would be kind of silly.
They showed it in the Jace Hall show.

Even at my most cynical, I always have a sense of hope that A:CM will turn out alright. I know I don't always express it but its only because I have been let down by Gearbox and Sega before. I want the game to be good for fans because so many of us have been loyal to the franchise for twenty years of let downs by sub-par sequels and crappy spin-offs. It's about time we were given something that lives up to the standards we expect. Maybe Gearbox can pull it off or maybe they can't. The lack of news over the years for this game has been ridiculous but I think we will learn at PAX if that trend is finally ending. I still stand by all of my previous comments though because I think we deserved to be more informed over the past few years.
When is the earliest that we can find out about A:CM? Initially I thought it was Friday, but seems GBX aren't scheduled to talk until Sunday?
I wouldn't expect anything until Monday or something.
http://yfrog.com/5evmslzj
Well they've certainly got a Duke Nukem stage setup.
Its good to know that this game is still in works. I hope we will get it by 2011 or 2012.
Now its just the waiting game, and that is so boring.
DNF is even playable at PAX. What the hell.... This game which is basically myth,comes up and its playable,confirmed in development etc. but A:CM which is announced since idk atleast when the dinosaurs were alive and nothing. I swear if I/We dont hear/see anything about A:CM at PAX I will say f**k you GBX and SEGA and I will not give a damn about this game anymore! I really really hope GBX/SEGA show us something at PAX. God..there is playable DNF,it cant be A:CM NOT to be there,it have to be!
http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/03/duke-nukem-forever-being-completed-by-gearbox-expected-next-yea/
It looks like Duke Nukem is the main game that Gearbox is working on. It's scheduled to be released in 2011 and there is no way that a studio as small as Gearbox could focus on two big titles at the same time. But really guys... you should have seen this coming, Aliens CM was abandoned quite a while back and its either still on hold or cancelled at this point. Hopefully Gearbox will at least let us know which of those it is.

Duke Nukem Forever was announced almost 15 years ago... ACM, what? 2-3 years ago? Maybe it's the NEW game to get the "Forever" title.
Aliens CM: Forever!

Not necessarily. DNF was started and almost finished by another company. GBX is just finishing it. Of course you could be right. I am happy it will get GBX some attention and hopefully some more attention on A:CM.
Gearbox will be showing Aliens: Colonial Marines from 3:00pm-4:00pm this upcoming Sunday, September 5th, 2010. (http://www.paxsite.com/paxprime/schedule.php)
(Press CTRL+F and type in "Aliens").
That's ridiculous. I think they should devote more than an hour to A:CM. I realize that there is a lot of mystery circulating around how much more development is needed before DNF to be released but A:CM has been developed from the ground-up by GBX and I think they should devote a little more time to showcasing an actual game that they worked on instead of the work that they inherited from somebody else.

Nowhere does it say they will be showing it, and the entire Gearbox panel is from 3:00-4:00, where I'm sure they will mostly be discussing Duke Nukem Forever and perhaps Borderlands 2. Aliens CM may get a mention, but I'd lay money on it that no footage will be shown.
They mention the two titles that have yet to be released and which Gearbox are working on...I think it's pretty safe to assume they are showing it. However, they may not...

It's just as likely if not more so that those two titles are Borderlands 2 and Brothers in Arms 4.
Let's hope not. :-\

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it, however it's impossible for me to take anything regarding Aliens CM seriously after this long until I see it.

Duke Nukem Forever was announced almost 15 years ago... ACM, what? 2-3 years ago?
I know I know,I said "Lets wait a lil bit longer,it will be released soon" a 14 years ago,a year after DNF announce and what happened....
Quote from: Ash 937 on Sep 04, 2010, 01:32:10 AM
That's ridiculous. I think they should devote more than an hour to A:CM. I realize that there is a lot of mystery circulating around how much more development is needed before DNF to be released but A:CM has been developed from the ground-up by GBX and I think they should devote a little more time to showcasing an actual game that they worked on instead of the work that they inherited from somebody else.
Apparently GBX now owns the IP to Duke. Which means it's their adopted child like its other children Borderlands and BiA which means they make the decision when and where they want to show it off... Unlike Aliens which has a HUGE complicated parental issues with Fox, Sega, Cameron, Scott, Fincher, GBX, Rebellion, etc.
So this may still be Sega's fault... If they aren't letting GBX show off ALIENS why should GBX have to wait when they can show off Duke Nukem who they now have rights to.

2K Games owns the rights to Duke Nukem and Borderlands, and Ubisoft owns Brothers in Arms. Gearbox is a developer and it's mostly the publishers who own IP.
And the Aliens "parental issues" you mentioned are not that complicated. Fox holds the film and franchise rights, and Sega holds the Game rights. Rebellion and the directors you mentioned have no involvement in Aliens CM. Sega makes all the decisions related to the games although they may have to clear some of those decisons through Fox.

Yeah dude. I never saw the "paternal" issues of the Alien franchise being so complicated. I'm gonna speculate and say the biggest culprit behind why A:CM has not been completed has everything to do with David Fincher. He is holding out to see the final version of the game script before he gives his personal authorization for the game to be completed by Gearbox. Meanwhile, Scott and Cameron have given their clearance for this game to be made.

Again, none of the directors of the Alien films have any ownership of the Alien franchise, and they are not involved in any way with Aliens CM.

Actually, Ridgetop...you might be right for once. I was thinking about it and I came to the conclusion that if David Fincher really had ownership in the franchise then Alien3 would've been a better movie. But I also read an interview with Fincher where he said that the Hollywood movie business was an industry where you "fail upwards." In other words, if someone makes a bad movie, they are allowed to make better films with bigger budgets later. Maybe Fincher wanted to start off with making a disaster of Alien3 so he would have the chance to make Se7en and Fight Club. So bad film or not, some of these directors may have a say in which direction the franchise goes...and by default, this goes for the video games too. Plus, David Fincher is the only director to ever shoot a film on Fury 161. If the developers of A:CM wanted to make a level on that planet, I'm sure he would be one of the guys they would have to go first. It would be easier, however, to make a level on LV-426 since both Cameron and Scott shot their Alien films on that planet. So if Randy Pitchford wanted to make a level for A:CM on that planet, he could always go to Cameron if Scott wasn't available and visa versa.
For once? How am I normally wrong? And for the third time now... The directors have zero involvement in the games nor do they have any ownership of the franchise. Fox owns it all and Sega has permission to make the games. Gearbox reports to Sega and Sega reports to Fox, that's it.
David Fincher does not control the use of Fury 161, Fox does.
Its looking like we may never get some concreate info on this game. And I may be the only one, but I'd take Aliens over Duke any day.
Hey, if Duke Nukem forever is coming out, anything can happen. Me and my flying pigs anxiously await more news from PAX.

I never said Fincher controlled Fury 161. That would be silly. All I said was that since he is the only director to have ever filmed a movie on that particular planet, that Fox, Sega, and Gearbox should all consult Fincher if they plan on making a Fury 161 level for A:CM. Fincher has first-hand knowledge of the outer terrain and the inner corridors of the prison colony on that Fury 161. He is a well-traveled guy who could of very good use to the guys who are making A:CM.

Exactly! And if Gearbox are the ones who are going to resurrect one dead project from the deepest level of development hell, I think it makes them a number one candidate for the long-promised, never-delivered
Colonial Marines too...
QuoteIf the developers of A:CM wanted to make a level on that planet, I'm sure he would be one of the guys they would have to go first.
You can see how how I might have thought that's what you meant. Fincher won't even speak to Fox these days because he feels they did not give him nearly enough creative control of Alien 3. If Gearbox really wants to get some good imput from those who were involved in the look of the films, they should talk to the concept artists and production designers of the Alien trilogy. I'd say they had a pretty good start with Concept artist Syd Mead.
RidgeTop, he's having you on. Behave, Ash.
Anyway, today is the day.
Man, I really hope they show something on this game. As much as I'd like to hear about BiA4 and more info on DNF, I swear that I would much rather hear and see new info about A:CM,
But, I'm not holding my breath...

I am not entirely sure about Duke Nukem but the IPs to Borderlands and BiA defintiely belong to Gearbox.

I was joking about that entire part. I didn't quite mean A:CM either, more ALIENS in general.
What time is it over at PAX anyway? When does their panel start?

3:00-4:00 Pacific time, so two hours from now.
Its 3:35 there now.
Looks like they've talked about Borderlands, now onto Duke Nukem.
No Aliens:Colonial Marines? f**kers.
Quote"They showed four new screenshots from Aliens: Colonial Marines to show that they are indeed hard at work on the title, and that it will be coming out. They didn't have gameplay or anything to show us, but they wanted to underscore the fact that the game remains a priority, and that the company has been growing and can handle multiple titles at once. So: no release date, no gameplay, no footage, but hey ... the four screenshots looked exciting. Hopefully we can get those to show you later"
From GBX. No source link yet.
EDIT: http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/707337/Gearbox-Software-Announces-XXX.html
Can't wait for them damn screen shots.
Probably stuff we've already seen before.
If they're new and awesome I'll forgive this but I'm really disappointed at the moment.
I don't want to play devil's advocate or anything, BUT aren't four screenshots a little light for information for a game that we haven't heard anything about for years? Has a game ever been canceled at a game expo like PAX? I still wouldn't be surprised if this game gets canceled next month.
Same here, my friend.

Hopefully if the Alien Anthology sells gangbusters (it will), Sega and Gearbox will be motivated to kick CM into high gear. If we're lucky, we'll see it by the end of 2011.
My Predicted release date: December 22nd, 2012.
Also, what exactly did GBX say about A:CM? Did they just say, "Here, are some screenshots to prove we are working on this. Now STFU?" or did they actually discuss the game at some sort of length to show that they actually care about it?

Not even screenshots. Artwork.
That's it. This game is never coming out.
I think those are actually screens using the engine, just not gameplay screens.

They certainly look nice, I really hope we get to play this game eventually.
In the second screenshot, are the marines shooting at another group of humans or androids?
Looking awesome still. I hope it doesn't play like shit.
looks good
Lookin good so far but this is still a FPS right or did they go 3rd person judging by the stills?

Looks to me like marines firing at another group of marines. Could be androids though, hard to tell or maybe its a concept for MP?
Corporate Merc, the game is still FPS, just the screenshots are put together not from the characters point of view, which sort of sucks, but hey its better than nothing.

The screens look great. Although, one of them reminded my brother of Batman Begins and so I took his idea and illustrated it.

Its not rage because a small group of people(including me) already knew that A:CM will never be released lol
Screens look good. But that's just not enough info for me. We'll be waiting a while before we get this one guys :-\
Why would they show us screens of A:CM if it's not going to be released? It's just delayed 'cuz they're working on DNF. ::)
Don't get me wrong, I honestly believe we'll see it. Just not for a while. Maybe they'll release it concurrently with the Alien Prequel :D
Shifting priorities from Aliens: Colonial Marines to Duke Nukem Forever would be very bad. It's like unearthing a fossil of a dead animal and wanting to revive it and leaving a living animal to become one (a fossil, I mean). You can't have both at the same time, but...come on!
I'm just happy we got something.

you never know, maybe sega thought that releasing alongside the prequel would be a money spinner.
the more time spent on ACM the better, imho
Whoa! What's with the massive alien re-design? In all the earlier interviews they talked about using Aliens as the primary source material, with a bit of Alien thrown in, which was reflected in the early screens. Now we have AVP aliens (with the bowed dorsal tubes and ridged tails) with AVP-R heads (visible in the screen where it hangs upside down)...
Created a new topic for the screens, let's keep this one for the status updates.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=34711.new#new
Looks like they were ripped from a movie. Nice. :)
Oh man, AvP3 should've looked like this...
(then again, with all the comments SEGA got on AvP, perhaps they learn for the next incarnation)
"Aliens: Colonial Marines Still Alive"

The Japanese do love the Alien franchise. I believe that even Alien3 was met with a positive reception when it was released there back in the day. If SEGA has some fans on the board that decides when to release games, I wouldn't be surprised if we see this game released when the prequel comes out. But at this point, I'm a little hesitant to give SEGA the credit of that much foresight when the development history of A:CM has been anything but intelligent on their part.

There is such a thing as spending too much time on development. Game engines and consoles can become obsolete if a developer is not punctual with their product. I'd rather see an A:CM that is slightly rushed at this point than over-developed. If GBX isn't lying and they really have been working on this game for as long as they say they have then the game should be done by now. It's not because they haven't been working on it and thats why they can't even produce screens that are in-game.
At the end of the day, I still believe that this game will be canceled very soon.
I don't think sega even released avp in japan :/ be interesting to see if they do with this.

Finally some serious and nice post! I agree 100% Now everybody will say that we are trolls or haters or some..nah thats the truth about this game. 4 screens for 4 years what the hell...is it so hard to capture a damn video clip?
finally some news about this game or more confirmation that it's still being developed, can't wait to hear more
Botman was asked if they know what the recommended specs would be for A:CM, he said they don't know yet, but they will probably be similar to what Borderlands had.
Intel Processor - Pentium 4 2.4GHz
AMD Processor - Athlon XP 2400+
Nvidia Graphics Card - GeForce 8600 GS
ATI Graphics Card - Radeon X850 Series
RAM Memory - 2 GB
Hard Disk Space - 8 GB
Direct X - 9
Also he confirmed that A:CM won't support DX11 and would look the same on a DX9 and DX11 cards.
1. It's been available for pre-order for years now
2. The retailers' release date are not correct
And ofcourse we are in full darkness again ;D Another year of waiting for another 4 screens next year lol

I am actually quite satisfied if this turns out to be the case. I printed each fuzzy screen already and one thing I like to do is turn off all the lights in my room and then light a match in front of one of my prints. My room stays completely dark except for the light that touches the image. For a moment I look at it in silence. Then I shake the match out and lie on my bed and think about what I just saw. I try to remember as many details as I can to myself until I fall asleep.
I discovered that a person only needs to see one image for a few minutes and if they really focus hard and allow an image to get burned deep into their memory, they can spend a year discussing every detail of that particular image. The totally awesome thing about it is that instead of just one fuzzy image, GBX gave us four so I think I can be satisfied with what we have for almost half a decade. :D
I'll have what ever he's smoking.
lol, me too man.
Can I have about 4 to 5 pounds of it?
4-5 pounds would probably make you want to go into other threads and bother people.
Please stay on topic. This thread is for status updates, not AvP3 vs ACM discussion.

Shifting priorities from Aliens: Colonial Marines to Duke Nukem Forever would be very bad. It's like unearthing a fossil of a dead animal and wanting to revive it and leaving a living animal to become one (a fossil, I mean). You can't have both at the same time, but...come on!
Damn right!
I gonna need a new computer for a maybe halfassed game. That's for sure. :-X
A:CM could have the highest priority at GBX right now and DNF would still be released first. Its in its polishing stage unlike A:CM, cause we don't know what stage it is. However considering Lorin Wood stopped working on A:CM and was the lead conceptual designer I am guessing they are past the concept stage. :P
I'm kind of frightened.. what if they try to tie it in with the Prequel?
I wouldn't think they would just scrap the story set between Aliens and Alien 3 they would have wasted their time and well if it isn't broke don't fix it.
They may not try to tie them into eachother. But they may be waiting on them to make sure nothing conflicts story/canon wise.
QuoteAliens: Colonial Marines is still being worked on, the studio confirmed, but don't expect to see it anytime soon.
2012 ??? By the way, if A:CM (ever) gets released and it turns out to be a bomb and a dissapointment (because of its prolonged development cycle, like many games did), I'll be the first one to laugh at GBX.

This is starting to become a new Duke Nukem Forever. And is anyone else mad that Duke is stealing the spotlight from A:CM? There's nothing special about Duke other then the fact that is game was delayed for years. As soon as Forever comes out, no one will care about Duke.
I don't know about you guys but with the release of the Alien Antholgy people at gearbox should be hyped and motivated to see that they are working on a franchise that deserve their best effort and dedication, I mean if they built a pulse rifle it's for sure that they at least did a private screening at GBX HQ.
They probably built a Smart Gun too but I wouldn't know, I am not allowed into Area 51.
Like I said long long time ago - DNF is nothing special anymore. Anything new that was supposed to be made in this game is already made by hundred other games and DNF will be just another shooter. If this game was released a year or two or 3 after the announce ok - back then everything was still new into the FPS gengre but now meh. Even the story is so boring - aliens and pigs invade the earth - lets kick some ass yeaah very interesning huh Show up the ACM footage already, its something different and we need good current gen game with this franchaise. Come on, no one care about some tall blonde Terminator like dumbass, its not so badass anymore. Duke had his moment long time ago and he wasted this moment.
"and i'm all out of gum".
I agree with Moss about DNF. All the old fans will love it but most people will get it thinking that it's going to be amazing only to realize its what they have been playing over all these years waiting for DNF. The invincible bad ass main character, the awesome weapons, etc. Its not saying that it won't be a quality game but, not sure how to say it.

Blame sega and fox for being retarded assholes for making GBX keep tight lipped about ACM.

Sega will have to do something about it sooner or later. They don't get to keep the license forever.

I've seen it coming. I've seen it for so long. Never once did I think it would replace Aliens: Colonial Marines. We've had Battlefront, Starship Troopers, many sci-fi shooters..
yeah, i don't think COD:8 will detract for A:CM at all, for a start i think the sci-fi setting will put a lot of hardcore COD fans off. the fact it's a new COD developer will put people off too, i actually hope that A:CM comes out long enough after COD8 that i won't have to buy both at the same time though, i say early 12 is better, since it will give sci-fi shooter fans (of which i am one) enough time to get bored with COD8.
better for them to take their time than rush a product out and have to compete with COD, i mean look at MOH, i've heard lots of talk of bugs and stuff, i kind of think they rushed it out to get in the market before CODBO, but i feel that only hurt it, with people not buying it because Black Ops was on the horizon,

I am getting really tired of this whole CoD dominating the shooters stage... Most of the time I feel forced to buy a CoD game because I know EVERYONE else will be getting it.
A:CM will also be A:CM... CoD In Space won't do much. I remember people saying that Dead Space would get in the way of A:CM.
A CoD game itself may actually be good but because it's entire community, a community of primarily younger kids and people who will exploit the game in any which way, carries over only means Black Ops will eventually have all the same problems MW2 had.

That is the biggest load of bullshit i've ever read, although i myself hold little faith in ACM getting released before i start collecting my pension due to sega being retarded assholes i'd have to admit that has got to be some of the dumbest shit that has ever been written.
I f**king knew it, and you know what? It makes perfect sense Of course that COD series and A:CM are two different universes and communities but for christ sake this industry is about making money, would you stand up against a future based COD game? with a release date? when you have (until today Nov. 10th) nothing to show (and NO Pax pictures doesn't count as something being "worked on") the best example you can compare this is with CoD: Black Ops vs Medal of Honor: Tier one, 2 FPS released almost at the same date wich can compete because of their gameplay/history etc, etc, and both did good numbers. If A:CM will be ever released someday (wich I still doubt) they better offer an EPIC History/gameplay something that kick the shit out of any FPS released before something so magnificent that could match any other Future FPS series and stand against the new ones.
This part killed me: Gearbox Software has exactly eleven months to get out in front of Sledgehammer Games. November is always Call Of Duty time and Aliens: Colonial Marines needs to be released before then to have any chance in hell of making money or an impact.
Because even if it's not true, It's depressing to know that any other game can be produced in less than a Half time than A:CM do.And It's more depressing to go to gearbox forums and see no news about the development progress if there has been any, just pure bullshit and assumptions about... I wonder If that's a pulse rifle or a new weapon? In that blurry picture
10 years people.. f**k you Sega Learn 2 keep your mouth shut so we can continue with our lives without being dissapointed.

Same.
Everyone was talking about Black Ops today
I ended up asking "Whats so good about it? Its basically just Modern Warfare 2, which was sub-par at best, with SOME new features. The hype is just stupid and the controls are most likely broken."
Wanna know the answer I got?
"Atleast I don't play Sci-Fi games like AvP and Prototype because I'm afraid of the real world!"
Then they proceeded to tell me I would rather play "Black Cocks" than Black Ops.
Keep in mind everyone in my school is 16-18
Anyway, I saw this coming. I think everyone did. The game has been dead for years. The only glimmer of hope was the supposed E3 booth, but I don't even think that made it through

I would actually say the controls for CoD games are very good. The literal controls. They are smooth and easy to learn.
Thats if I have to pick my favorite thing from a CoD game.
Only thing I would change with CoD controls is have the D-pad used as weapon selection, having only two weapons is stupid. People should be able to carry a side arm and two rifle sized weapons... Basically the one thing AvP3 got right.

Just tell them that you're getting head while they play black cocks.
I still know that I'd rather have a "rushed" product than no product at all. I've simply waited too long for this game and I want all of the waiting and hoping I've done to be worth some product in the end...even if it is a crappy product no less. I haven't checked this board for a while because I was feeling demoralized by the whole A:CM situation. Now, i just want something (anything, really) from Gearbox.
As for my two cents about the article...it's obvious that Call of Duty owns the fps genre right not but its also true that there are still those out there (like me) that prefer shooters that are more "Sci-Fi" oriented. It makes perfect sense for Activision to go after what's left of the naysayers of the CoD franchise by releasing a product that can truly go up against Halo and all of its clones. But different publishers/developers create different games. A:CM is still slated to be a Co-Op game last time I checked. CoD will not be Co-Op based so the two games should be miles apart from each other in terms of gameplay mechanics...even if they are both set in deep space.
See it's when people prefer crappy products than something else is where things go wrong. Like in the case of the avp movies, I would have been much happier if they weren't made at all, as I'm sure many people would.
Doesn't matter for how long they were being made cause the time spent on a movie/game doesn't necessarily mean you'll get quality. It's ready when it's ready is always better than - deliver it even if it's broken/crappy.
The time it takes pissed everybody off, nobody is happy about it, not GBX not Sega not the fans. All we can do is wait, yelling at them won't move the game forward.
But the AvP movies weren't in development for as long as A:CM. I said what I said with the assumption that the game is far enough along to be more than half-way decent. Gearbox has already said the game is presentable and it's only Sega that's holding them back.
And why are you comparing the production cycle of a film to the production cycle of a video game anyway? It's sort of like comparing apples and oranges to me. I'd also like to know which people you know "preferred" the idea of crappy AvP films over good ones. I don't think the fans had much to do with the way those movies turned out.

Not comparing the production cycle, I said the time spent is pretty much irrelevant. I'm criticizing the "better rushed than nothing" attitude, backing it up with the avp movies - better no movies than crappy movies.

I didn't say people preferred crappy movies over good ones. Again, no movies would have been better.
We have waited this long enough, now we have to wait longer for DNF to be done with, we might as well wait until the game is 150% done.

I dont wanna rain on your parade but after DNF release, Gearbox will announce Borderlands 2, or some other "secret" project mentioned on their site.
And you know this..how?
Its obvious. If Gearbox were interested in A:CM they would announce A:CM officialy after the last Borderlands DLC at least. Or after Borderlands release, not after all DLCs, after announce of DNF and now HOPEFULY after its release. I am done with all this waiting, its pointless. Why they never released the last 3 screens in full resolution to the community? No reason right, or just these screens are nothing new, they are maybe months or years old and they are just bullshiting us. I bet its not MAYBE but its THEY ARE that old ;)
So you are guessing, ok.
After DNF release you will remember this post and you will know that Im not quessing ;)
If you weren't guessing you would have given some info or a fact. You are guessing. And there a lot of people guessing and speculating for a long time, somebody is bound to be right about something sometime.
Is it a fact that some people are guessing that this game will never come out? ::)

Which last 3 screens? The Halloween Party concept art or the Pax shots? Either way, they never said they would release them other than through PAX.

Why not? What are they hidding? I know what - nothing, because they cant show us anything more than some 2 years(at best) old screens. They have lets say 30 old screens, never released to the public just in case and now they release 2-3 screens every year to keep the fire in you. Now you will say I am trolling but no, you are blinded by this game. This game is a myth, a ghost and you are keeping it alive. I wanted this game as much as you do but not anymore. GBX cant break my dreams and my hopes anymore. The only thing that can make me believe is a at least 2 min gameplay trailer, NO CAM quality, but we will never see this trailer folks.
Nah, you're hung up on the game as much as the rest of us, otherwise you wouldn't be trollin' so hard. You and the few other guys who represent the myth theory.
I told you guys this was going be the next Duke Nukem.

In our case the troll is a person who says that A:CM will be released, because in fact it will never be released :P
The funny part is, comparing this game to DNF is no longer valid... Since that game is in fact coming out.
It would almost be easier for them to take three or so more screens shots (talking about PAX here where it was at least in-engine) than to go digging around those "30 magical back-up shots" you claim they have.
Whelp, time to update the ignore list.

Agreed, the same goes will other anticipated games like HL2 Ep3 (or what may now just be HL3). Though if they don't release it by about 2013 then graphically it will be outdated, so lets hope the gameplay is up to scratch.

Not necessarily. Of course it is possible but I am sure they are aware of what happens when a game is in development for too long. Hopefully that won't happen to A:CM.

I'd put Half-Life's gameplay, physics and modding community way before story when it comes to a reason for playing it. But story does count too.

How long has Alien 5 been in development hell for? I think its funny that they are developing both the Alien Prequel and Alien 5 at the same time. This sorta reminds me of how AvP3 and A:CM were both in development for the same time at one point.
Wow...Alien 5 is in development just like A:CM! Thanks for giving me the heads up about it, Chris. I had no idea. Hopefully FOX doesn't get in the way of it too much like they did with Alien3. Any word on who the director will be this time around?
There is no Alien 5.

let's hope Ash was just being a smartass :o
I was hoping that the release of the Alien Prequel would be enough to hold me down until A:CM was released. But now that the prequels have been pushed back a full year, I'm curious to find out which will come out first, the game or the film(s).
Maybe the release of the film was pushed back due to complications with Colonial Marines development. Or the prequel release has been pushed back for other Colonial Marines reasons.
comeone man your talkin crayzeh
No way they place a game's priority before a movie.
You can't be sure of that Chris. FOX has always been pretty sly about generating as much money from possible out of this franchise. I wouldn't put it past them if this was part of their plan all along. They're not idiots. They can use the release of A:CM as a direct way to advertise the release of the prequel and visa versa.
If A:CM just gets pushed back beyond the release of the prequel, FOX can just release the game to coincide with the release of Alien 5.
:P
The "what if" Alien 5.... :P
Well, we know that Fox wants the most money but they did put out the AvP movies which made money but still failed but then again they also put out AvP3 and Predators within 5 months of each other.
Aliens CM is discussed in an interview with someone from Sega in the new GameInformer issue. I'll post the article when I get home.
you what now-
i hope its good news. hope, not expect.
In the recently released January issue of GameInformer, Matt Helgeson interviews Sega of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing, Alan Pritchard. During the interview Matt asks...
Aliens: Colonial Marines is still coming out?
"Colonial Marines is still on. We've been working closely with Gearbox behind the scenes, and we'll be able to tell you a lot about that in the next couple months. It won't be November 11th (as previously reported). We haven't announced a date yet. This was kind of a pickup for us, with Activision acquiring Vivendi and us having the Aliens license. With the state of code available to us with Aliens Vs. Predator from Rebellion, that kind of forced us and allowed us to slightly alter our Aliens road-map and strategy. It made sense to release that first."
Nothing really new I guess, good to have an update though, I'll post a scan if you guys like.
UPDATE: Scanner was not working so my iPhone camera will have to do.

Most of the news for A:CM is like a perpetual echo of the same rhetoric that bounces from one year into the next. Every time I hear the same thing about its progress, I lose a little more faith in the title.
On the upside, it's nice to hear Sega talk about this game for a change. They are the real people in charge of the project, not Gearbox. If Sega says it'll happen soon I have more reason to trust their words after the "string-along" Gearbox has put fans through for years without any authority.

With the state of code available to us with Aliens Vs. Predator from Rebellion, that kind of forced us and allowed us to slightly alter our Aliens road-map and strategy. It made sense to release that first."
I'm very curious to get some elaboration on what alterations the A:CM project has undertaken since AvP3 was released since the majority of the news we have for A:CM pre-dates AvP3 by a few years. Is Alan Pritchard referring to just release date strategies or does this extend to the build of the game as well?
Great, finaly some decent info since its better then nothing. Got any scans of the latest issue?
Nah, it's canceled, a lot.
Sega has announced some of their 2011 lineup, A:CM is listed as TBC 2011.

They wouldn't dare. Not only does the standard old UE3 engine surpass AvP3's engine I am sure GBX's heavily modified engine could easily show how much better it is than AvP3's engine.
See, Sega now acknowledges and cares about A:CM. We always knew GBX did but it was Sega who we needed to get to admit the game exists.
This is something, I guess.
We have to wait for DNF to come out next year, and see what happens. I hope DNF will not get push back.
Randy P. was pretty confident that dnf is right on track and close to finished, I'd say Q1 2011. Then it's candy time..
It's a lot for the people who were hoping it was dead :)
I fear ACM may bite the dust next year, or even by new years. :-\

Hmm...those lines sound very familiar. But I think if it were true, we would've seen a lot more of DNF than what's already been released. So far we have gotten very little. I doubt it will be a Q1 2011 release...I'd say Summer 2011 at the earliest.
Yeah, familiar, he said it.

Yes, it's almost as if Sega loosened the chains on A:CM just enough so that it could stretch it's neck out enough to peer out of the grimmy window of the GBX studio. We, the fanbase, have been waiting for a sign of life from this game for a while and although the window is too dirty, we have heard a faint "grunt" coming from the beast within. We know it's alive now but we aren't sure how alive it really is. The window is too dirty for us to peer through but we know something is in there sustaining its existence.

Sh0dan posted an interview with Randy Pitchford on the gbx forum, made by Rick van Beem in October this year.
Here is the quote regarding A:CM
QuoteI first asked him if Aliens: Colonial Marines (SEGA) was still in development. I love this license (who doesn´t) but I was getting a little bit scared due to all the other projects Gearbox has in development that this project would have been put on the back burner. Randy said that everything is still looking good, but that working with 20th Century Fox makes the process a bit longer because they are very protective of their intellectual Property (IP). It is something I have experienced myself, when we (Playlogic Entertainment) were doing the Aliens in the Attic game for them. Fox is very wary and does not want its valuable IP damaged and rightly so. Aliens in the Attic is not their most important IP, but having experienced working with them I can only imagine how many bumps there are in the development cycle of Colonial Marines. Randy promised me however that it's still coming and that the game looks damn good.

Well
Quote from: Jockey;2167247I think the proper way to put it is "Fox doesnt want its valuable IP damaged by others", they already did a decent job at that..
Hopefully this game will focus more on the mood provided by the original "Aliens" movie and not on the mood set by the recent AVP films as did AVP2010 according to some.
A mof**kin' sequel to Aliens.
I hope this game will focus on coop survival and objective based gameplay. Barricade and welding system, armor customization system, class system which can be turned on or off. With released mapping tools, and great optimization for PC. I hope just for these things.

Basically what I want as well. If they want to add in multiplayer thats fine but at least have the great co-op and objective based gameplay.
IMO in-game customization should be secondary. i don't want it to devolve into a hat party like Team Fortress 2. a mark in your armor or helmet is fine but the point is that if a player wants to dress in bright pink with zebra stripes and use star sunglasses it should be player sided only in order to keep the immersion for the other players.
as for outside mods, i'd like the game to want to be customized, so you don't have to mess around with the config files or replace things you might lose a backup of later. remember the first Ghost Recon? it had an built in open mod manager. something like that.
Like I said "ARMOR customization", like painting on your armor, adding or remove knee pads etc. Not char customization like Saints Row or Sims :D :D More like Rainbowsix Vegas 1 and 2 :)

Exactly. Some good examples of armor/weapon customization include Vegas 1 + 2, Black Ops, and Halo Reach. You can customize a lot of things on your weapons and/or armor in those games. But NOTHING pink or stupid in any way shape or form. Thats one bad thing about Halo, but Halo isn't exactly in the same gritty sci-fi world as ALIENS even though there would be no Halo without ALIENS. In Aliens we wouldn't see shit like marines running around with bright pink/yellow armor.

You mean Halo is somewhat based off of Aliens? :o
Aliens is the best sci-fi movie ever. Halo is the best video game ever. There is no way a game based off Aliens will be better than Halo. There is no way a movie based off Halo will be as good as Aliens.
If Duke comes out next year, and Alien Prequel comes out in 2012. Then I can see them releaseing the movie as a tie in to hype up the Prequel.

QuoteAny hints that you can give us about upcoming Gearbox Software game announcements?
Heh. We'll be talking more soon about our Aliens: Colonial Marines project and we are very excited about our partnership with Sega and 20th Century Fox on that game and can't wait to show more of what's being developed there. It's very exciting. Beyond that, we're not ready to announce any other things that we have in development, but will in due time.

Predxeno is correct.
If you put two negative numbers together you have to add them but the result is still a negative number. If we have two people saying two things that are negative it just adds to the negativity of the situation. In the end you get a much bigger negative number. This is where A:CM is at right now.
We need a HUGE POSITIVE to get out of this mess like gameplay footage or the rumblings of a massive ad campaign for the game.
Every time I hear the word "soon" associated with A:CM, it just gets more negative for me. :-\
lmfao
So...while this is only speculative, and hardly from a dependable source (in my opinion), VGreleases seems to think the game will be released November 11th...again, I have serious doubts, but is any amount of hope really a negative thing?
http://vgreleases.com/Xbox360/ReleaseDate-113427.aspx (http://vgreleases.com/Xbox360/ReleaseDate-113427.aspx)
They tend to come up with random releases whether it be 10/10/10, 11/11/11 or anything.
or 12/12/12
oh wait.
12/21/12 or 21/12/12 depending on where you live.

Great. This just keeps getting better and better. This probably means the Alien Prequel is going to be postponed, too, to time with this game's release so both Gearbox and Fox can juice the most out of this franchise as possible. Then again, I could try to get a PS3 or a better computer and use 2011 to beat AVP2010 that I was never able to beat in 2010 thanks to my lack of the aforementioned PS3 or better computer.
I just hope we'll at least see some proper footage during E3 this summer.

It was listed as TBC 2011 in SEGA's lineup, not a surprise at all.
What a load of crap. Makes me wonder why they even took the project if they have no intention of ever taking it off the back burner. On the bright side, Rebellion's sequel to AVP3 can't be too far off.

Dude... I don't even think SEGA is stupid enough to let Rebellion touch the franchise again. I would only let them if they had a full out plan to fix everything already wrong with AvP3 for free and then start work one "AvP4"
Plenty here thought AVP 2010 was decent and it did quite well in sales. It's because of SEGA that the console support was dropped, not Rebellion. In fact, Rebellion did work on updates released through Steam using their own funds, SEGA was simply unwilling to pay the fees that Microsoft and Sony charge to release updates on their consoles. It's cool if you don't like AVP 2010, but I'd at least give Rebellion some credit for the hard work they did to add a modern game to the franchise.
I do realize that Rebellion tried to some degree for our sakes but somewhere Sega does know AvP3 was a failure compared to most of its competition. And being the corporate f**ks they are they sure as hell won't blame it on themselves so it was immediately Rebellion's fault in their eyes.
Weren't their rumors and such that Rebellion wants to do a sequel to AVP2010?
They said so themselves about a year ago.

Warts and all AvP was one of Sega's most successful games last year bad scores or not. So I think in Sega's eyes they see potential for future successes with the Alien and AvP (and possibly Predator) franchises. It was said that Rebellion was rushed into releasing AvP after the license was handed of by Vivendi. I don't know how true that is, but if it was maybe with some time and more funding Rebellion could create something closer to the classic two AvP games.
In any case I think Sega see the possibility for some really great sales from this franchise.
But I am sure they also see all the hate and flame they got for f**king it up. (Yes I know they never truly replied to our flames but I am sure they saw it)
We all have our opinions on AVP, but let's keep them on that board and get back to discussing Colonial Marines.
If there is anything to discuss apart from debating info from 2008 and the fact its not coming out this year.
No... ;)

Thanks for the link. I love interviews with composers. They're extremely interesting people.
For a while, it seemed like a good idea that A:CM would release to coincide with Ridley Scott's "Alien Prequel". I have no way to confirm if that was the logic that Fox or Sega were following but the premiere date for "Prometheus" (formerly known as "The Alien Prequel") is right near I might have expected a release for A:CM (Q1 2012). I wonder if the release of this game will be affected by the fact that Scott's film no longer seems to pertain to the "Alien" universe.
There was no confirmation that the game was ever somehow connected with the movie so it's very possible that the events around the movie never affected A:CM.

He meant that the 2 might be released together to take advantage of all the publicity.
Yes, and like I said, there was never a word from any officials (only fan speculation) that the game and the movie are connected, release-wise or otherwise. Now that the movie is no more it makes it clearer.

From Eurogamer, Randy P. says the info from NeoGAF is false.

A small update on the incident.

Yeah, It's really not up to Randy to talk release dates yet. Oh well, the more he's asked about it, the more SEGA will see the demand for this game to get done.
I think we should get a Twitter campaign going and bombard Sega's Twitter with RTs asking about CM.
Doubt it would work. It's all been tried over the years (maybe not twitter but forums, e-mails etc.).
Will participate in the angry mob though.
Right, let's stampede the company. I'll get the guns.

I don't think there's a need for that now. I can tell you there's movement going on behind-the-scenes. So I hope it won't be long until they come out of hibernation.

Homework is done. Once they are allowed to give interviews I'm sure we'll get one.
DNF is coming out on the beginning of May, silence is coming to an end.
DNF can come out whenever it wants. The first GBX game I will buy will be A:CM for the simple reason that I've waited too long for it to come out to give GBX any of my money until they deliver the product that I want most. After I get through with A:CM I might be enticed to buy DNF (pending reviews) since it will likely be a year or two old and have been significantly dropped in price.
Just because DNF is confirmed doesn't mean this is. Hold on to your butts.

It could work if we could get the entire community to do it and fill Sega's twitter to the point that it is ONLY concerning A:CM.
Nah it won't do any good. I'm willing to wit patiently for a couple more months, it's been four years.
Well I don't think it would work as in Sega thinking, "OH! They clearly want it, okay here's five minutes of gameplay." But it could bother them enough to tell us when they may be giving us 5 mins of gameplay.
I support the petiton but before spamming Sega's Twitter I suggest first to do a poll and see if the community is up to.
Keep chillin' for just a bit more.

Remember when Randy told us to bother Sega?
When was this?
And if he did, good move. Don't bother us, bother sega.

It was quite a while ago when he said it. It was more along the lines as I can't control when we show off A:CM since its not our IP but Sega can so bother them.
Good move, the guy is awesome.

No way, games shown in e3 would only come out at christmas are movie games and games that have a lot of media for them, add about 6 months and you have a more realistic date.
It will most likely be shown like it's the first time.

While some people would be drawn to conclude that A:CM has been "canned," I think there is enough evidence on the contrary at this point to assume its coming out. Not all games that are not shown at E3 are "canned." You are doing this out of fear, fear that if you put your heart into hoping and it gets "canned" you will be crushed. I understand. Sometimes it's not easy to have faith in these things just like its not easy putting faith in a flighty relationship. A:CM has been like the lover that teases you with emotions so much that you get to the point where its just easier to wish for a time when they weren't there, when you didn't have to think about it. Now you just want it to go away and get canned. Let yourself go with this one Moss...A:CM will be there for you someday, and it will be a match made in heaven. Trust me. ;)

Its not about that. I just want Sega or Gearbox or whoever stay behind this to decide is it canned or not. Its better just to tell us ok its canned guys we are sorry, instead of lieing us..
-_-
For the 146th time, they never said it was canned..they've only said it's coming along. As far as the info we've received goes - they're not lying.
And a question, what's their benefit, in case they were lying?
"hai, we were bullshitting you all along and we made a million bucks?!"

I just contacted GBX and they said no official statements in regards to the planned release date for A:CM has been given yet, neither to online retailers or the press. It doesn't match the ETA I've heard either. Here's the full article for anyone interested:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F2561706%2FACM1.jpg&hash=3403bdc7ee90ea8a36bf1e9f6c1cff95242603d6) (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2561706/ACM1.jpg)
Actually they even mention www.alienscolonialmarines.net (http://www.alienscolonialmarines.net) to be the official site, which is quite amusing if you ask me...
Thanks for the article Ikarop.
Wow, they were totally grasping for straws when they said "new info".
Also the official site is a bit of a lol. Congrats for Alienscolonialmarines.net I guess.
It's not bad to throw out a bit of rehashed information from time to time. Not everyone is waiting for this game and a lot people already think it's canceled. Instead of mocking the article for saying things we, the fan base, already know about, we should be happy that someone is publishing anything at all for this game right now.
The more publicity this game gets, the more interest it will build...and if enough people are clamoring for it soon, the better our chances will be for an actual release (instead of cancellation).
That's a bold statement in the sign OUT AUTUMN 2011!!!
Made by a guy who can't wait to play it for guys like him.
OUT MARCH 2012!!
LOL! In space no one can hear you tapping your watch

What I'm mocking is an example of bad journalism. It says "new info" despite the fact that the info is very clearly old and just rehashed info from the game informer article from 2008.
Really the article just talks about how it has been delayed for a long time and how AvP was crap, that doesn't really distill a lot of confidence for the consumer nor does pulling a release date out of their ass.
Articles like this don't really help anything. Maybe if the journalist applied themselves and pursued Sega or Gearbox maybe it would actually show that there is interest in the game rather than writing up a pointless fluff article.
Or maybe SEGA contacted all the media and told them they'll give them further details in the coming month.
Journalism to catch people attention are doing a 'update' news which doesn't contain anything new but may attract people attention for the following events & media related to the game.
SEGA could have pay them also by asking to keep telling about the game with the materials they already have to keep interest in it.
The reputation of the game has dropped and everyone is more concerned about Duke Nukem Forever so to remind it... they are doing useless news.
What's even funnier, is that website says that a new article CM aint coming in 2011, LOL
Truly excellent. Haha.
As an aside, and on a more serious note, I think that speaks volumes for the complete lack of web presence that Sega and GBX have put out about this game. Way to promote shit, guys.
I just don't understand this game, I bought a ps2 when I heard aliens cm was comin out for it and then that died now this one has been delayed so much I don't no wot to think. I mean honestly I have so much love for these films and have done since my childhood (thanx mum n dad lol) and it seems so f**king unfair that I can't enjoy an interactive experience with them. I want to relive destroying the alien hive at the end of aliens watching the pulse rifle ammo counter dropping as it decimates the alien eggs and xenos themselfs, y y y r gearbox and ESP sega doing this. Sega should just sell it as they prob don't give two shits I'm sure there are plenty of publishers who would b proud to develop this licence further...
The frustration is understandable.
Salvation be happening soon.

While I do think that there are better publishers out there than Sega, I don't think there are many developers out there that are better than Gearbox (just a handful, really). I think a lot of people keep hoping and anticipating for this game because Gearbox is behind it. If they weren't, I think the whole thing would've died down a long time ago. I don't remember a huge cry from the fan base when Sega canceled Obsidian's Aliens-based RPG...but if you are aware of the playability problems with Fallout: New Vegas then Obsidian doesn't come off as a top notch developer either. Maybe the skepticism that it wouldn't be a great game gave people less reason to fuss about the lack of information being released.
I think Sega knows they have something special on their hands. I doubt they'd let this one go. To put in it

Nice and I really do agree. There few developers I think could be classed as better or as good as Gearbox don't really care for Sci-Fi. Well there's id, Valve, DICE (Who definitely don't care for the Sci-fi genre.) and that's all I can really think of.. I guess BioWare but now they are doing this Old Republic MMO bull shit, just give us KotOR 3 god dammit.

I don't get how you can say DICE doesn't care for scifi just look at 2142.
That's grounded in Sci-fi but its not like they are fighting against aliens or zombies or robots or something more along the lines of the traditional sci-fi genre. If you consider 2142, a futuristic shooter, to be sci-fi then so is Modern Warfare 2 considering its also futuristic.
I would not count out Gearbox simply because they are not known for developing titles for the Sci-fi genre. Besides, Borderlands is not exactly applicable to real life. :P

Cause Half Life doesn't count I assume?
Oh yeah, forgot about Half-Life. Well that's comforting too! ;D I hope some of the veterans involved in that franchise can lend some of their magic to Colonial Marines.
Gearbox only did that expansion, Opposing Force.
That's correct :-[. The original was done by Valve Software, but for an expansion, Opposing Force lived up to the expectations made of the main game. 8)
I played that during my high school years, I don't remember it anymore :D
They also brought Halo to the PC and are making DNF. I would say they have enough experience. Plus it their ability to represent the source material accurately is what makes us all happy its Gearbox.
This isn't directly related to A:CM Status but...
DNF just got delayed and I think that if DNF gets caught up again in its usual delays, and GBX won't release ACM until DNF is released then we might have to start waiting longer for ACM that we already expect. I want DNF to come out asap for the sake of ACM. :-\

It won't considering E3 is June 7th-9th, and yes this is real according to Randy Pitchfords twitter. My guess is they ran into some sort of snag with certification on consoles or into a major game ending bug that needed to be fixed before getting their GM. Who knows, but being so close to the end I'm sure they're either in the last big push or past it.
I doubt it would affect A:CM chances of showing at e3 considering its Sega's call.
I thought E3 was in July... Guess not. Hopefully it doesn't affect A:CM's chances of being at E3. We're so close... SO DAMN CLOSE.
Not so close, just closer than we were yesterday.
I don't see this game coming out until 2012 at least. Releasing around Prometheus might be the most logical thing to do.

And what have the comic book series released in the past year been doing?
nothing, to the majority of non-readers.
I think its going to make the most sense to release A:CM near the opening weekend for Prometheus at this point as well. Sure, I'd like to see it sooner but Prometheus seems like its going and if SEGA can capitalize on it's success with a few more sales then we might get a little more downloadable content and (possibly) a sequel somewhere down the road.
What has Prometheus got to do with it? There has hardly been confirmation from the man himself that Aliens are even in it!
True. If that rumor about the E3 re-reveal is true, my prediction about 2012 Q1 release is very possible.
Q1 would be nice, but i'll take Q4 if i have to.

ACM already has a release window, at least according to some trusted sources. I'll post it once it's OK to do so, but a Q1 release might be just a bit early. These kind of things change all the time anyway so don't quote me on that. As for the E3 re-reveal, I was asked to gather some info on how that originated and this is what the person who originally tweeted (http://twitter.com/ahaywa/status/48848032099344384) the info replied:

What the producer told me was more an off-the-cuff comment during conversation rather than any sort of formal statement or response to a question, and he said not to quote him as part of that segment of the conversation (...)
(...) Just based on my own experience, I'd expect more information to be teased prior to June, though certainly I anticipate a significant showing at E3 consistent with what he told me.
It's just speculation so far, but an appearance at this year's E3 would definitely make sense IMO.
Yup. I predicted Q1 a while ago, my guess based on what's been going on recently. The time difference between E3 and first 3-4 months of 2012 is somewhat reasonable. No latter than Q2 tho, that would sux.

i definately think that it'll be at E3, simply because DNF will be out (i assume :D), and GBX will have nothing else to show, unless they anniounce Borderlands 2, or something completely different, they'll pretty much have to show ACM to justify thier existence, or at least their presence at the expo. :D

Studios always have something to show, and GBX has plenty of stuff on the pipeline atm. It doesn't have to be BL2 indeed, they have more IPs and internal projects going on. Either way I don't think that would be a reason not to show ACM at an event like E3. Different publishers, different booths. It's probably too early to start discussing E3 plans anyway.

What has Prometheus got to do with it? There has hardly been confirmation from the man himself that Aliens are even in it!
The movie is a Aliens movie, and having a Alien related release around the same time would make sense. Look at the upcoming GL game for example.
It's bs if you ask me, again acm to suffer because of other awesome projects.

Well it's good to know that we are seeing something at E3. I hope for a release date.

Its not confirmed yet. All rumors and speculation.
They should just drop DNF and release A:CM already. How many years has DNF been in fan-anticipated production anyway? Is it as long as A:CM's?
First of all.
Please be quiet about Duke Nukem if you don't know about it.
Secondly
It's been in development hell for longer than A:CM
Fine, sorry. :-[
People waited for DNF since Summer 1997, nearly 14 years. The original ACM game was in work since 2001 then got scrap, and re-created around 2008 IIRC. So I would say more people are hype up for DNF.
Oh yeah, I think I remember something about that. There was this guy who preordered DNF from Ganestop years ago before it got constantly pushed back and he's still got the receipt. Poor guy.

I think maybe somewhat earlier than in 2008, 2008 is when we first saw anything. The license was acquired in December, 2006 and that's when my anticipation began! At the time me and my friend were like "how awesome it would be for it to have graphical fidelity similar to FEAR"...Boy, how times have changed.
Doesn't really matter who's been waiting longer, cause the big boys do not care. They make the decisions that we have to live with, we can only hope that our thing arrives asap.

Randy Pitchford, Gearbox Software CEO and President:
We are very passionate and committed to the Aliens project. I feel that it's a dream project to be able to spend time in that space with the brand. The progress is exciting and I do not expect that it will be very long now before Sega and Fox and Gearbox all come together to update everyone on the game and show what we've been up to.
Not much but at least it looks like we'll be ending the silence soon.

gearbox staff are paid in "good feelings" since he is the head of GBX, he gets paid the most. they are not a game developer they are a dream recycler, they take the hopes and dreams of casual gamers, mulch them up, and turn them into good feelings, then take games from other developers and just finish them, :D

lol. Doesn't explain Borderlands.
Well I have been waiting for many moons to hear concrete news of this game but god I certainly hope that when it arrives it plays better and has more depth than that whore of a game AVP, and the direness of Borderlands. As in so many cases these days its all flash and no bang, the console market now is so saturated in meaningless stale seen it all before fps. They need to start slowing things up, dont cater solely to the ADHD brigade, inject atmosphere and purpose into these Aliens/ AVP games, give players reasons to work together in co-ops, and more than just the rudimentary switch flicking we see in these current console offerings. I am mainly a pc gamer, yet a decent new, and innovative console game I would buy, but not if its any of the current fare. Alien games just haven't hit the nail yet imo and I sincerely hope that the promise of CM is realised, because to say AVP was a wasted opportunity is an understatement.
And to the developers involved in this game I would say...Look, this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that. But, let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important game we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or anybody, has the right to arbitrarily f**k it up.

There's already a trailer out on the web.
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIi2rR5rW28#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIi2rR5rW28#ws)
Old news.
Very very old news.
My bad. New to the site.
No worries, man.
I remember that a version of that trailer is one of things that originally got me to this site.
Yesterday devs from GBX had a meeting with Sega, presumably about A:CM.
Quote from: Brother on Apr 15, 2011, 07:06:16 AM
Yesterday devs from GBX had a meeting with Sega, presumably about A:CM.
Indeed. Actually they've had meetings about ACM a few times already this year.
There's movement going on behind-the-scenes, remember? :P.
I think Zach already mentioned it, but I'd like to note that every source I speak with also mentions how good ACM is coming along. The game must be looking good this time indeed.
Finally I see some REAL good news! Thanks, Brother and ikarop!
Can't wait for E3 and see what has been done. :)
The fact that Zach is replying to our banter about Aliens makes me feel like we're closer to the light at the end of the tunnel than we were even just a few months ago.
I bet those winter meetings with Sega went a long way towards proving that GBX had come up with some good stuff to show off.
Even Zach's follow up tweet to Jay was something to the effect of "how awesome [A:CM] was looking"
We may get info during E3, but we're still a good 8-12 months away from having the game in our grubby hands.
I already commented (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=34412.msg1087325#msg1087325) on the tidbit Brother posted a few comments above. But since I always double-check everything, I also asked for comment from Sega's Community Manager for A:CM.
This is what Sega commented on the meetings:
Quote from: SegaI can confirm the teams were meeting to discuss the ACM project. The teams at both Sega and Gearbox meet often, discussion of the title during production is a regularity. (...)
(...) More solid news of the game is coming later in the year, rather than tweets from devs and such.
Not soon enough.
Good News though
ive sent messages to senduamesage they refuse to respond it seems like its not that important and release dates are all over theplace websites say 2012 and some say late 2011 but if you want bug these senduamessage guys the work for oxm

Nah, IMO there is no way in hell to create ACM this year and make it a great game... Anything this year would be overly optimistic or would mean that the game would be rushed out and suck.
There is a possible chance of it to be release in Q1 2012.
A:CM is not being "created" this year.

I'd like to know how you know this cause as far as I knew, we had NO idea whatsoever as to where the game is development wise.

No way for me to know, naturally. This is speculation based on no new material on the game, no real coverage (PR), nothing. If work was done, it would most likely be shown, so I'm GUESSING the game can not be finished this year.
They had several meetings on A:CM's progress with Sega this year, I doubt they'll get together to chat about how nothing is being done.

One thing that is annoying about this is that GBX is always just about to work on ACM before some other project takes precedence over it. They said they would work on it after they finished the last Brothers In Arms game. Then they said they'd work on it after Borderlands came out. NOW they are saying they'll step up work on ACM once DNF is released. Does anyone else see a pattern here?
It's not that I'm not optimistic or hopeful about ACM coming out...I think GBX will get around to it eventually. I just wouldn't be surprised if another new game was announced and released before ACM. I also wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get any new news until we got to the 65th page of this thread either.
Quote from: Ash 937 on Apr 30, 2011, 04:26:27 AM

Yep, Borderlands 2 friend :)
Brother in Arms was always going to come first. Borderlands came first because Sega decided to put AvP3 first, DNF came first because it would be stupid to hold off that game any longer. I don't think anything else will come before A:CM again, plus Sega's (and Fox's) money is going into this and why would they want it delayed any farther.

I'd love to see Amiée Lee resume, or her casting interview.

Here's an update on some potential news: http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/10/gearbox-assembling-community-event-for-june-11/ (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/10/gearbox-assembling-community-event-for-june-11/)
Article from Joystiq:
"Gearbox Software has announced plans to host its first-ever "Community Day" on June 11 in Dallas, Texas. The free event will take place at the Palladium Ballroom and feature several of the studio's games, along with developer panels.
The event will give players a chance to try out Duke Nukem Forever's multiplayer several days before it's alleged release on June 14. Panel topics will span Duke Nukem Forever, Borderlands, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Brothers in Arms and additional subjects. The day will also see the "first public unveiling of never-before-seen materials by Gearbox."
If you're interested in attending, you'll have to register for the event. For out-of-towners, the registration form also lists several hotels with discounted rates and complimentary shuttle service to the fiesta."
Let's hope Aliens CM gets more than a mention this time.
I'm getting cautiously optimistic about this.

QuoteMeanwhile, Sega is thought to be readying another Alien title in Alien: Colonial Marines, which is being developed by Duke Nukem Forever studio Gearbox in the US. We expect to see more on that one at E3 next month.

Where can I find that interview or Q/A with Randy?
It was just a DNF promo event at GAME, A:CM simply got a mention but nothing new was revealed.

A:CM to be released on 11/21/011?

No official or updated statements in regards to the planned release date for A:CM have been given yet, neither to online retailers or the press.
There's a reason why that date keeps being brought up tho. According to a former studio source I spoke with once, Q4 2011 was the date being used at GBX many months ago. But I'm sure that was just a placeholder date. Besides that date has been already refuted by Sega (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2010/12/11/aliens-cm-release-update/) themselves at one interview with Game Informer early this year.
The site did look fishy (I mean Final Fantasy XIII-2 on New Years Day?). If the game was coming out later then this year then I feel like that it would be bury from the competition. November has Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Hitman: Absolution, and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is also set on around that time as well.

Strange, hopefully Sega didn't tell them not to expect it.
AvPGalaxy contacted Sega and Gearbox about this earlier today, and the answer has been the same from all representatives. Neither Sega or Gearbox have made any official confirmation of A:CM being at E3 on the record. Gameinformer.com was probably asked to remove it for the reason mentioned above.
What a shame.
it could still appear at e3
Was removed now to be added later..has happened too many times.
Only time will tell.

The game is far from being barely worked on.
To go with the GI reports, I've just heard some exciting info on supposed E3 plans for ACM. Big plans. Then again none from any media outlet, and that includes us, has been able to get an official confirmation on anything regarding any plans yet. And official statements regarding E3 are still a couple of weeks away from being released.
More rumours and 'confirmed' game lists are likely to appear in the coming weeks. So for our own sanity I'd suggest everyone goes in hyper sleep for a couple of weeks. Or just try not to believe anything unless it has been officially confirmed.
If it's not at E3 then I'm starting to care less about this game. It could show up since I remember other games where never listed down at last year's E3 (Like MK9 for example) and still show up.
Hopefully the big reveal will also include the release date.
Or at least a window.

If its not at E3 there is still GBX Community Days which is what in the same week.
I can hold my breath.
In the Gearbox Forum they mentioned Aliens: CM when they announced the Community Day (http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=120990 (http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=120990)). Maybe we will get some information there.
This is the announcement:
Open to all, Gearbox Community Day is a celebration of our awesome fans, our history as a studio, the launch of Duke Nukem Forever, and of what lies ahead for Gearbox.
This will be your chance to play Duke Nukem Forever alongside the Gearbox crew before the game is released in North America. You'll get to hear the stories and meet the people behind some of Gearbox's biggest games, including Borderlands, Brothers in Arms, Aliens: Colonial Marines and more!
Better yet, you'll get to experience the first public unveiling of never-before-seen materials by Gearbox.

Potentially yes. And an announcement asking when A:CM will be out will answer "Once we are done with DNF"

Funny. i used to say that in the same manner as "when the pigs fly" a few years ago.

the wall, waiting to birth an Alien.
All I know is after DNF comes out...
they better show me the money brah. Maybe the lack of news is because of plans to release the game when the next Alien film comes out.

Its not really news. But at least it got mentioned.
Today I've contacted Sega again in an effort to confirm a possible appearance at E3. This time providing all the information I have on this supposed and rumoured E3 re-reveal. And the answer has been "a BIG no comment". Right now I think it would better to just assume that A:CM is not going to be at the show.
well that's obvious with the ceo of gearbox saying they pushed back duke and are still working on duke and gave us no information on anything but we are working on it i say f$$k duke and all the misery that game has brought me since i heard acm was suppose to be released months ago

Duke Nukem has already gone gold. Unless they are already working on downloadable content, I don't see why they shouldn't be working on A:CM now. Nothing else has really been publicized.
If GBX puts one more game ahead of ACM then I'm just going to assume that it will never come out. That's it.

Well Valve already has put L4D, L4D2 and Portal 2 ahead of HL2 Ep 3 with only two concept art pics and no info to speak of, yet it's still very likely to eventually come out.
My point is even if they put one more game first (probably borderlands related) it's not too late to give up hope...yet.

Everyone has a threshold. I think I've remained relatively optimistic through every hopeful let-down and every promise-turned-lie about upcoming news and release date for A:CM. There are really only a handful of people that keep the conversations of the A:CM boards going...and I've done my part to discuss the game out of interest and enthusiasm. But it's just about time for me to throw in the towel for this game. I'm burned out from waiting and how much longer I wait will have everything to do with the next game GBX plans to release in their schedule.
That's it.

Longest day, and it was only a half day. Tomorrow will be awesome for Aliens.

There's a new short interview with Composer Kevin Riepl at Nerdreactor, ACM got a mention:
QuoteN.R: You are currently working on Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines, by SEGA. Coming from a long list of credits that don't have any predecessors, do you feel when it comes to something that has been in the realm of video games and films for some time that there is this looming expectation of it? Do you take that, turn around, and use the notion for drive to exceed anything else before and make it your own?
K.R: Yes, I definitely think there is looming expectations for this game and its music. Fans are hoping you don't screw it up or create something that takes them out of the Aliens universe. Without a doubt I take that excitement and use it for inspiration and drive. To blend James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith and a little bit of myself into a score is somewhat of a daunting task not to mention an awesome opportunity. So far, what I've created for the game is fitting perfectly within the Aliens universe and franchise. Being a huge fan of the first 2 films, it's an honor to be able to blend elements of Goldsmith and Horner infused with a touch of Riepl!

A new screenshot from a print press kit was released today by mistake. It should be officially released around the end of August so if you happen to come across it, please refrain from posting it here.
Oooh... I know one of the gold diggers will find it.
Never! The screenshot isn't very revealing anyway. It shows a group of marines fighting xenos on a corridor/tunnel from the player's perspective. It will be officially released soon so no worries.
Any word on a official release date other then Spring 2012?
Nothing official yet.

Thats sounds cool. I want to see it more now... :P

You're too late for the vicodin pill, Chris!(($$))!. An Advil will have to do for now.
Oh well... :( I can wait. For now.
I saw the pic at 262x150. Damn Sega, why you are so dumb?? You are hidding something that later on you will want to give us for exchange of our money. Ok keep the screens for ya and I will keep my money for me, your choice smartass!

I would bet real money that the focus will land solely on Borderlands 2. The IP belongs to GBX so they don't have to go through any red tape to talk about it. All we will hear about A:CM is that it's coming along great and the folks at GBX can't wait to show us more soon.
The next GTTV episode will feature ACM (September 29th).

I'm lucky enough to be in contact with some of the people involved in these projects. Both officially and unofficially.
Sega's line-up (http://tgs.sega.jp/2011/) for TGS is not a secret anyway. Plus they always focus on their Japanese titles for TGS.
is that the definitive line up?
I live an hour away from Makuhari Messe, and I think it's like around 1200 yen only to enter (around 15 usd) for the public. Id love to go if there's any ACM exhibits of any kind

You know what? I did try to go. Took the train, got to the convention hall then saw the lines and went "oh shiii".
Decided to hang out at Starbucks for 2 hours instead :\
Aw, that's too bad. Maybe next year!
Actually I paid and went inside for like 45 minutes. But the lines to play the demos were immense. A lot of PS Vita demos that I wasn't interested in. The only thing I wanted to play was SFxT, which I did. But that left me unimpressed
Next year is not likely for me.
Shame about not being at EuroGamer. I'd booked it for Battlefield 3 but I had hoped. I hope they're at something in the UK. I'm eager to get down and get my hands on it.

The demo lasted about 10 mins didn't it???
Thats fine with me.
Sucks to be anyone who was at E3/Pax/GBX Day though. :laugh:

Yup. It will be available online shortly after the show.

It's old news: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2011/06/10/timegate-studios-involved-with-acm/ (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2011/06/10/timegate-studios-involved-with-acm/)
We caught wind of it way before E3 and eventually got the greenlight to post it when Randy recently mentioned it. From what I understand TimeGate is basically helping GBX with the legwork that they started. Two teams are always better than one so no worries.
I hope they bring the Hadley's Hope booth over here if they come to any conventions here.
Kind of a small update, but I noticed that John Mulkey was hired as a Design Director for Aliens: Colonial marines. Some of his earlier work includes level design for AvP2. That's good to hear.

Yeah ohhh so we are going to have the Q&A answers after the game release?
With the recent magazine and website articles having Q&A with Gearbox I'm assuming Sega is waiting for all those publications to be release before giving out our Q&A.
Not the case. Just gotta be patient. It's a very extensive and lengthy Q&A.
Does Fox need to clear answers as well or just Sega?
Usually both. But I'm not sure this time around. It hasn't been mentioned.
I have the feeling that GBX will pick only the questions that are the same or close to the ones they answered in the latest articles.

Actually we selected the questions for the interview, added a few of our own, etc... Every question has always been answered in previous Q&A so no worries. These things take time so please be patient.

Sunday 4:30pm - 5:30pm
Gearbox Software is at PAX East with our panel! If you've made it to our PAX Prime panels, you will know not to miss this one! Get a behind the scenes look at the Gearbox Software lineup including: Borderlands 2, Aliens: Colonial Marines and other great Gearbox Software franchises. And what is a Gearbox panel without never before seen reveals, huge exclusives, massive surprises, and of course... FREE PIZZA!
Panelists include: Randy Pitchford [President/CEO, Gearbox Software], Brian Martel [Chief Creative Officer, Gearbox Software], Mikey Neumann [Writer, Gearbox Software], Jeramy Cooke [Art Director, Gearbox Software], Paul Hellquist [Creative Director, Gearbox Software], Brian Burleson [Producer, Gearbox Software], John Mulkey [Sr. Design Director, Gearbox Software]
Apparently they also will have some Colonial Marines cosplayers attending PAX again this year.
So they're probably going to bring that Hadley's Hope set up then?
Details are uncertain ATM.

I wonder if that wallpaper was scheduled to be realeased because I twitted to Gearbox that the ammount of tweets regarding to Borderlands 2 was an insult to A:CM fans, then two hours later they released the wallpaper.
It's not new as wallpaper -> http://i42.tinypic.com/2ro48jm.jpg (http://i42.tinypic.com/2ro48jm.jpg) we already have it.
I'm aware. I originally posted (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2011/09/26/promotional-image-for-colonial-marines/) that image myself. Still Gearbox oficially released their version yesterday.

I'd beg to differ on this point. PAX was easily "missable" last year for any fan waiting to get news on A:CM. As I recall, all GBX released were a few lousy out-of-game pics of xenos attacking marines...much like the one that was just released is linked in this post:

What happens this week?
they're bringing the ninja turtles over it seems.
It's pre-PAX week. Sega was at Gearbox not long ago filming the crew for some behind-the-scenes stuff too. They are all very busy lately.
Wonder if it'll be yet another "get the fans worked up and show 'em nothing type deal".
like if they weren't doing that so far.

Am I the only one who's not excited a bit about PAX?, unless they show some current Rendering/animation footage and single player campaign this whole PAX thing it's like.. Meh ¬¬ Sure the give aways are cool but it's not enough, however a demo.....well ::)
I think the feeling is mutual all around. We have been bombarded with the same media over and over again for the last month or two of the same Beta or Alpha (anyone correct me please).
But if industry trends dictate, The 'First looks' text write ups on new game and their hands on reviews may happen 8 months before release and an actual 'gold ' demo 4 months before the game is released.
We are 6 months away from release. We've only seen overviews and they were slim on the details.
So chances are good PAX and following Pax will be some major stuff. Hopefully a Demo release or at least more solid gameplay footage and explainations.
Fingers crossed. ;D
I just want to see a good solid single player walkthrough like the E3 2011 demo but with less overly excited narration from Randy.

You know my voice will be heard.
Fix dem damn back tubes.
I'm pretty particular with the Xenos when it comes to detailed, I have to say they are spectacular models.
I was concerned however at one time with
1. their cranial at the back of their head midway not being rounded enough, but I digress after several minutes of analyis with the films, they may be quite accurate.
2. the back tubes may lack detail in the light but they are all there. im sure its poly limits.
They outfitted the bodys with more creature proportions rather than a person in a rubber suit look, i'm ok with that so long as it works.
SSHITTDAMN!
Given that NECA is making Aliens toys in 2013.. and they already have one Gearbox license... what's the chances on them making ALIENS: Colonial marines toys?

It's actually been seen since the first MP videos were shown before PAX. It's the alien that has the smooth cowl and pounces to attack. I think this is the first time we've clearly seen the skull under the cowl.
Hopefully the new video will clear this up. Ive seen the smooth crest one in a 5:40 Multiplayer demo but it was completely black except for its smooth highlight. The lurker has all sorts of details including skull and ridges.

I'd like to fight for the game. I fight less against it the more we know about it. So ultimately i'll stop fighting against it altogether and just fight for it.

I figure I can bitch about the game when it comes out. I know for a fact that I've ranted enough about this game, and seeing as how Gearbox doesn't show anything new at all, then it's only right that I stop and not go in circles during discussions. It happens far too often and I'm putting a stop to it when I see myself retreading old ground.

Gah the bastards. Crusher has floppy ass tubes just like it's kin.
Y'know, now that I finally get a clear look at the Crusher, I kinda like the design. Nothing I'd want to see in a movie, but for a video game, yeah. It's not bad.

Wow, I really do like that design... but I wish it were actually scary, and grabbed you and slowly smashed your head against the wall or simply pinned you down and rammed you over and over until dead. The charging-animal thing I think makes them look pretty retarded, like, well, big dumb f**king animals.
Just about cancels everything that's scary about an Alien minus the blood.
Why don't they make one called 'The Brawler' that just runs up and beats the f**k out of you? :laugh:

i'd like if the xeno as a whole didn't looked like a fat regular. they should give it a different ribcage design like the queen, and a more rigid tail to balance itself.
Ikarop do you have any idea if after the Escape Trailer more stuff will shown up soon?, besides PAX of course, another trailer maybe or marine weaponry in detail

If you're referring to the lurker, I love the undershot jaw, makes it look more menacing. The aliens have a large, protruding jaw and chin anyway.
So far i like everything I hear in the trailers especially the Escape trailer. If you skip to the end when when the title sequence comes in and slow it down, it has a very creepy droning sound which I would love for the game.
Modern,suspensful experimental and droning single notes is always good for the Aliens franchise (kind of like the original 'alarm' you hear in the Aliens and prometheus trailer.
Frankly if they went with the original 'marine' army drum solo thing it would have been way to campy (as campy as it sounded like in the movie). I do however expect the army solo thing to happen at some point in the game (ie, recapping a story or a introduction to a character).

Cool. Wonder how big it will be.
We are in mid november, Does Gearbox have a marketing campaign to launch anytime soon? I mean come on we are 3 months left, and we know barely nothing about the game
Maybe after the Halo/Cod buzz dies down, they can really start to push it after Christmas?
Does it have to be certified for the consoles about two months before the release date? That would mean they have roughly four weeks left to finish the game.

No.
I'm not going to wait for some big marketing campaign to begin. I would be honestly surprised at this point. The game is so close to release now. We will get a few more videos and interviews but other than that it doesn't feel like they really want to open up about this game for whatever reason.
A:CM rated 18 in Germany http://usk.de/ (http://usk.de/)

Soooooo new trailer?
Quote from: OXM UKRead about the game's multiplayer in our most recent Aliens: Colonial Marines hands-on, and stay tuned for more on the subject next week.
http://www.oxm.co.uk/48215/pitchford-talks-aliens-gearbox-chat-with-ridley-scottSince OXM is openly talking about it... Expect a lengthy read on the subject from us too.
Predaker, you were asking about the 8 vs. 8 bit mentioned in the OXM UK TDM preview article (which is 4 months old btw, only the underlined quote from above is new).
I asked and Sega has kindly confirmed to us that TDM supports up to 6 vs. 6 players.
Thanks for the info ikarop! Much appreciated.

I would have more game modes and fodus less on the license and more on making a great fps :-[ that sounds .... it makes me worry about the quality of that game
I'm not sure what this means but it doesn't sound good at least from this guys perspective.
-I would re-skin L4D with xenos and marines.
Does that mean everything including animations created for ACM are totally trash to HIM? Thats too subjective.
-I would have put large player trigger scripted events in each map that would modify the flow of each level dramatically.
Something tells me that this game has a fairly consistent pace. Which isn't bad, but I guess he imagined more breathing room and a chance to do more interactive segments or something.
-i would have more game modes and focus less on the license and more on making a great FPS.
This probably means that there are far more shooting going on than there is an actual interactive game being played. hense the interactive segments could proabably have been pushed.
Thats just my perspective here. So far we havent seen any diary logs or interactive components of the game that breathe life into this story. I think there was a mention that we might meet Newts mother, but man, i would like to know how much more there is in this game.

I would hope that fans would play the game to enjoy it for reasons besides "canon". I'm personally not focusing too much on the "canon" aspect. I'm just happy that a group of people took the time to give us a game in the Aliens universe, an opportunity to play as colonial marines or in multiplayer's case as xenomorphs in an environment and atmosphere that is based on the movie "ALIENS". The story for the campaign may turn out to not be the most canon worthy story but if it is a good story than that is good enough for me.

No. The devs hates to optimize their games for the Cell processor.
Not too sure where to ask this but...how does this game differ from the previous AvP game that was released a few years ago.

1) It lacks a lot of things.
2) L4D is also coop oriented though you would be surprise how many people think its just a TDM shooter.
3) That is not true according to what we've seen. It has more features than AVP has but everything is pretty unpolished from game graphics, to animation, gameplay mechanic, voice actor, etc.
4) What? Ah forgive me, I miss-read the first time and didn't see the "somehow". :D
So is this game more coop over FPS? sorry to be rather slow on this.

Dude I am not comparing the game with L4D, I am just saying how it differs from AvP 2010. And with more polished I had in mind its finished while AvP '10 was released half way done. I am not saying the voice acting is good or the graphics are superior etc. I know they suck, relax :laugh:
Oh! My mistake, I'm so sorry!
Though, I wouldn't bet on the fact that the game is finished and not halfway done.
That's the first thing I'll check when getting it.

Niiiice. I'll take any extras I can get.
How many DLC / Stupid bonus / Update / HotFix are we going to pay to get a full game functional?
Damn it makes me realize how much I loved AVP2.
Everyone had the same game, the same maps, the same class & character, a functional SP with minor bug and a MP that was enjoyable with a lot of diversity with a lot of maps and game mod.

Almost all video games released these days turn out to be vessels for DLC, but not giving a proper ending to your story only for one to have to buy DLC to see how it ends is just a scam, plain and simple.
How I really wish AVP2's servers were still up, it is still the best Aliens experience to date in video game format, in both single and multiplayer (personal favorite being the alien life cycle mode), and this is from 2001 for f**k sake!
AVP2 has some replacement to Sierra Master Server if you want to check and keep playing it.
What's funny is that this game only had 2 and a half years of development and there were able to introduce more things than any other AVP/Alien/Predator game managed:
-Wide variety of weapons for each class (Unmatched yet)
-4 side instead of 3 taking the Weyland as a fully functional team. Even if some disagree that it was a good idea, I still love the fact you were able to play human vs human. This game just gave you choice! And you had so much you could do with it!
-It has every environment of every movie (Nostromo interior, colony ala Hadley's Hope, leadwork very influenced by ALIEN³ and even some segment of the Auriga was in the game).
-You could interact a lot more with the environment than any game every did in the licence: Ladder, Water, Vent, Doors, hackable object, torch-able in both MP and SP.
-The SP story was IMO genius by making each specie crossover at some point and interact on certain event from past, present and future within a very Cameron immersible atmosphere where you felt to be part of colonial marines.
-It had an SDK which allow the community to keep pushing the limit of the game even if developers/publishers stopped the support.
I could go on and on as I did with comparing AVP2 and AVP2010.
But is it anymore worth it?
I'm tired of having to fight constantly against the shit they manage to sell us.

Downloaded the master server patch now so I will give it a run at some point this weekend.
As for being tired of this crap, you aren't the only one!

Heh, I love that kind of marketing.
Map app for the game: http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.bradygames.acm/Aliens-Colonial-Marines-App (http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.bradygames.acm/Aliens-Colonial-Marines-App)
That's cool. Would never have thought of that. Is that a typical thing these days for games?
