^ Nice.

I miss the good old days of my life; where anytime I found out about this awesome new movie or game, it was thru a TV commercial or trailer.  There were no attempts to dig out info this early on, I just waited and saw what I got, all of it 100% official.

Yah f**k the internet.

Shodan posted an interview with Kevin Riepl, he talks about A:CM and other current projects.

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.

[Brother]

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.

[Corporal Hicks]

I think we should get a Twitter campaign going and bombard Sega's Twitter with RTs asking about CM.

[Brother]

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.

[DJ Pu$$yface]

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.
