Title: Aliens Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Corporal Hicks on Mar 31, 2011, 08:41:43 PM

I wouldn’t normally post something like this. It’s news about upcoming news but it seems promising:

“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.”

This was Gearbox CEO, Randy Pitchford’s response to a question about Colonial Marines in the latest Gearboxity. Thanks to Brother for the link.

Am I the only one who feels extremely excited everytime I see any news regarding A:CM?
Title: Re: Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Ash 937 on Apr 01, 2011, 03:56:56 AM
So the news is that there will be news about A:CM soon?


How is this news?
Title: Re: Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Sharp Sticks on Apr 01, 2011, 04:23:34 AM
Okay.

In the meantime I'm going to go out in my backyard and mime a pulse rifle and cry.

Actually its possible. If they decide to starting blasting it out from E3 up to end of 2011 they could release it.

it's possible yeah, but i expect it to come out about a year after DNF.

If it was under the same publisher then I would expect that too but its not.

Well come on. The game's been sitting for nearly 4-5 years now. They have to of finished everything by now. The graphics are probably as outdated as Homefronts. Who cares? Just release it and make us happy so we can throw our money!
Title: Re: Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Nope on Apr 05, 2011, 11:46:02 PM
Homefront dosn't look that bad.
Title: Re: Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Gate on Apr 06, 2011, 11:17:53 AM
Okay, it won't be as good as Homefront's 2009 graphics.
Title: Re: Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Brother on Apr 06, 2011, 12:24:05 PM
OR, it would be 1000 times better.
Title: Re: Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Berserker Pred on Apr 06, 2011, 03:57:51 PM
the graphics look amazing from what i have seen from screenshots, i imagine it will be released in the 4th QTR of this year if not the begining of next year, maybe they with wait for prometheus?
Title: Re: Colonial Marines Update On The Horizon?
Post by: Chris!(($$))! on Apr 06, 2011, 10:43:53 PM
Its possible they haven't even changed the graphics since the 2008 screen shots. From what I know the toning down and optimization of graphics comes toward the end of development.

UE3 is what Borderlands, Gears of War 1, 2 and 3, Batman Arkham Asylum/City, Enslaved, Bulletstorm use, it's a very good Engine for staying with the times. although homefront used it too, it really all depends on how you use it.

I just had a look on the exhibitors list for E3 and Gearbox aren't there. I know there's still time of course. Or would it be SEGA that announced info about A:CM instead of Gearbox?

It's a bit too early, Vulh. Nothing is set in stone yet so don't expect to see any official confirmations until we're closer to June. And it's usually the publisher who announces that kind of stuff.

game engine is great. Just thinking how great the game will look  or different to those early screenshots came out.

Post by: Ash 937 on Apr 10, 2011, 04:28:03 AM
I could care less about how the game looks as long as they get the atmosphere right.  I still think that the best Aliens-based games came out years ago.  I'd still rather play the original PC version of AvP instead of the installment that came out last year.  Hell, I'd still rather play the original Aliens total conversion for Doom and Quake from the 1990's than AvP 2010.
