Would love to see SEGA and Gearbox pay up.

Well, hopefully SEGA loses the rights and Gearbox goes under.

Usually Fox is the only company privileged with f'ing up their own franchise.  I'm still surprised that they didn't find a way go after GBX themselves.

Can't believe Gearbox got away with this BS.

What gearbox did is unscrupulous, but not illegal. Tech-demos are never concrete representations, but rather, what a developer aspires to produce. There are countless instances of similar cases, but this one was a very apparent discrepancy. This still doesn't mean that the consumer is entitled to anything, and frankly, I find entitled gamers to be some of the greatest sources of this industry's ills.

Randy Pitchfraud said the demo was straight from the game. There have been countless arguments why this one sticks the most compared to similar cases in gaming industry.

If it makes you feel any better, Alien: Isolation is looking to be the last Aliens-related game under Sega's contract before it expires, and I doubt Sega is looking to renew.

Id love to see Sony take a stab at it, personally.

Correct, he said "in-game" and "act two of the game". f**k him.

I can only dream that they won't re-up.

Anyone one with money and a decent rep would make this series elite. ANYONE.

I have a positive feeling about AI. If it goes well it could change the way developers view the franchise. I personally would love to play a game like isolation set on Hadley's hope. Playing as a sole colonist with no weapons and no training.

I still think ACM has potential.  Just make the Aliens lethal, hire a decent writer, and vary the worlds explored. 




Every engagement should feel like your just barely surviving by the skin of your teeth.  Kind of like AvP 99.

I think that's what he meant. I would advise if anyone wanted to do an ACM style game to not do a sequel. ACM was a disaster and I would rather see a new idea with Aliens vs Marines (no Preds).

Yep.  I meant Aliens CM style game.  And no I wouldn't do a sequel either.  Let the idea sit for awhile and then reboot it a couple of years from now.
