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

I 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.

If they were so protective of their Alien IP, how do they explain the catastrophe that was AvP Requiem?

Yes the list goes on. Let's hope this game will not make the same mistakes..

Well

I 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.
