QuoteSEGA and FOX CONSUMER PRODUCTS TO LAUNCH Aliens: Colonial marines
Globally on February 12, 2013
Fight the Fear in 2013's First Blockbuster Shooter
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (May 21, 2012) - SEGA® of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe Ltd., Gearbox Software and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products are thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated first-person shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines™ will be in stores worldwide on February 12, 2013. As the authentic addition to the ALIENS franchise canon, the game's stunning visuals and adrenaline pumping action will deliver breathtakingly immersive single, cooperative and competitive multi-player modes. Providing for an innovative asymmetrical competitive multiplayer experience, Aliens: Colonial Marines lets players fight in first person as the ultimate combatants – the United States Colonial Marines, or in third person as the universe's deadliest killers – the Xenomorphs. Plunging into familiar and new environments from the iconic film franchise, players will have to fight the fear and face the true horrors of the ALIENS universe.
"I am thrilled to announce the definitive launch date for Aliens: Colonial Marines," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "Aliens: Colonial Marines is the culmination of a life-time of inspiration from the films and relentless passion and drive from the exceptionally talented development team behind the scenes."
"We knew this game would be incredible from the moment Gearbox began developing Aliens: Colonial Marines," said, Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing for SEGA Europe and SEGA of America. "Now that the title is in its final stretch of development, we can confidently release the exact date that gamers will finally get to experience this blockbuster thrill-ride."
"SEGA has a proven track record with the ALIENS franchise. ALIENS vs. PREDATOR released by SEGA in 2009 became one of their top-selling titles," said Gary Rosenfeld, Senior Vice President for New Media for Fox Consumer Products. "We look forward to working with them and bringing an exciting new way for fans to immerse themselves in the ALIENS world."
In partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and developed by critically acclaimed studio Gearbox Software, Aliens: Colonial Marines will bring new levels of bone-chilling suspense and adrenaline-filled action to the renowned franchise. Aliens: Colonial Marines begins with an ostensibly abandoned ship, the U.S.S. Sulaco, recovered in orbit around LV-426. Players lead a group of highly trained United States Colonial Marines as they board the deserted craft to uncover the fate of the crew. They will have to fight to survive unspeakable horrors and their own anxieties as they chase down the truth behind a galaxy-spanning deception that places humanity at the mercy of the most murderous and deadly species in the universe. Aliens: Colonial Marines features authentic environments, such as the surface of LV-426 and Hadley's Hope, weapons inspired by the film series and is designed to provide an exhilarating and engaging new chapter in the ALIENS universe.
Aliens: Colonial Marines will be available in stores across the globe on February 12, 2013 on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. A release date for the announced Wii U™ version will be revealed at a later time.
i saw it right now
HAS BEEN DELAYED to FEBRUARY 12 2013 >:(
I Knew Gearbox will delayed it to 2013
Looks great! Shame about the delay though. :(
Yeah, it's a pretty sad news, but at least i think it's for the best, i'hope :'(
>:(
Damn you Gearbox, all we ever get from you is heartbreak.
f**k. February? It WILL get delayed again, to the summer, to make more profit. I guaren-f**king-tee it.
Pretty good trailer, though.
I just saw the same thing.
It looks pretty good, at least they fixed the lighting over AVP.

I think they are driving away their true fans, if this game flops (these delays almost garuntee it) then they have no one to blame but themselves. FMD Gearbox!!!
My guess for this, is that it's now internally known within the industry that GTA V will release in October. That, combined with Halo 4 and the new CoD, makes this a sensible decision in my opinion. I understand if you're pissed off about this, but I'm really looking forward to GTA and Halo as well as A:CM, so this is fine with me (more time to savour it when it releases). :D
Not having it attached to at least the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Prometheus will definitely hurt their pocket books. If they don't deliver a game of the year quality game, I will lose a ton of respect for everybody involved in making it.
another f**king delay..., great
Gearbox lost a customer. I'm through waiting for this game. I don't care how good it may or may not be at this point.
God damn they keep pushing it's release date.
This game would be better off as a video game with a rushed production.
Well. I'm done. F*ck this. Goodbye.
Yeah the delay stinks, but it was really only by a few months and at least this is finally an official release date this time. I hope they announce any collectors editions soon.
I am finished with this F*cking game!! I have waited long enough and I am totally over it!!

Spoiler
100% ingame footage....so its ready or only the Sulaco stage is ready? I wonder what they will do for the next 10 months ??? And i hope they know that too that these graphics next year wont be enough for a co. like Sega.
tagline should be "a game already 3 years in the making".....shame
Would anyone want this to be a very rushed game.
Now that would be nice atleast it will come out faster that way.
Well, i'm a big fan as you, but the truth is that, this graphics is poor, and a damage models are too, and the acid effect is not so good.
In coop, when a Xeno jump onto a marine and the others are shooting the Xeno, that's a poor animation, and some sound effect is strange too. I hope the Gearbox will work on the game a lot of, because this will not enough in 2013.

These are totally idiots at Sega, showing us screens, footages for 3 years and YET we have to wait 1 more.
Sad news. :'(
!NEVERMIND ABOUT A FUKIN NEW TRAILER!
I'M IS SICK TO DEATH OF WATCHING BORING TRAILERS

4 thing is important for a great game:
- a great story
- great voiceactors
- great soundtrack
- minimize the bugs
anything else wont matter so much, graphics for example, thats why i still play with games from the 90's

You expect video games to look like the 2009 movie Avatar and try to be theatrical movies that use really big budget Weta Digital CGI.
Well thats never gonna happen.
Although February 13th is bad news the game looks fantastic and it can only get better,at least it isn't going to be rushed.Look what happened with AvP 2010 and that was rushed.
Wait a few months guys,we are going to get a good game.

I don't want this to be rushed at all its just very frustrating for it to be spring 2012, then autumn 2012 and now early 2013. Wish Gearbox would of kept their mouths shut about a release window in the first place.

I don't know if you'd call the CoDs or EA's various annual f**kchises 'quality' games. Half-Life 2 took six years to develop, and the next one looks like it'll take just as long. I'm not worried about Colonial Marines, and the longer it takes, the more time there is to put between it and AvP3 (though admittedly it would have been great timing to appear around Prometheus' hype blitz).
Graphics tech is already looking pretty dated, so Gearbox had better cross their fingers that Unreal Engine 4 or Source 2 applications don't appear within the next year, but in every other respect that trailer looks amazing to me. I think the aliens look a little more AvP3-ish now (which is a major compliment - despite irritations with other aspects of the game, I've always felt the artists and animators did an absolutely stellar job), and did I see smooth heads? Please let there be smooth heads.

When a company keeps up with pushing a games release date endless times, oh man it gets old fast!.
Everyone whos saying that they wont buy the game still when it does come out is full of sh*t.
Awesome trailer!
At E3 it will be announced that Aliens CM will be a timed exclusive for the Wii-U (which will more than likely be out late November) which means this game will be available in November. PS3 360 and PC will have to wait till Feb.
Im guessing of course. ;)

no i thought about Final Fantasy games, Metal Gear games or old Resident evil games....see there are a good work force for those games thats why they can produce quality games within 1-2 years.....if you ask me....are you honestly believe GB that if the next february comes that means that will be a quality game...so they can do it in 10 months what they couldnt in 3 years? :DDDD wow they even cant make a game in time!!! altough i hope im wrong...

They could have it ready by this fall, but then that would probably mean pushing back borderlands 2 into next year. :P

No, actually it doesn't. Says this in the press release...
"Aliens: Colonial Marines will be available in stores across the globe on February 12, 2013 on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. A release date for the announced Wii U™ version will be revealed at a later time."
Maybe the Wii U version could be delayed beyond the game release, but I dont see why it would come out on the WiiU but not other consoles. That just doesnt make sense.

No, i don't expect. But the fact is a fact. Are you liking that animations and acid effect what in the gameplay trailers? Except the graphics then, there are so many things what are not like to me, and that things are blowing the Aliens feeling.
You said that it will be out for Wii-U November.
I will be playing it on PC so the Wii-U doesn't concern me.

It makes sense if they want it to be a launch title exclusive with Nintendo. Who knows how much Nintendo is paying them for the timed exclusive rights. It wouldn't be the first time something like this happened.
Who knows though.

Read through the forums, these are basically pre alpha graphics. They know the game still needs a lot of work, which is why we are not playing it right now.

You are complaining about Graphics of the multiplayer when they clearly stated it wasn't finished,why do you think they are delaying it.
The graphics and the lighting in the trailer look pretty spot on to me.

My god...no amount of brain work can rationalize such logic.
The amount of butthurt fan rage in this topic is ridiculous. I'm disappointed that it got delayed once again, but if this means a better and more polished game, I'm all for it. All the people saying they won't buy the game now, or even worse, that it would better rushed ::)...well, if a game being delayed is able to halt your excitement, then by all means go away. Those of us that want to play the game will when it comes out, whenever that may be.
They will all still buy the game.
But, I mean, the way you guys make it seem is that they should just keep pushing it back, because games can always be better...right?
I'm not one of those people who says they aren't going to buy it, I'm gonna buy the f**k out of this game when its finally released, but come on, guys, this is getting ridiculous.

Better than rushing out some 4 hour piece of crap because they know the fans will buy it. Come on.
Some people are saying that it could be related to the Wii U launch, considering there was no Wii U version release date mentioned.
Fall 2012 Wii U timed exclusive? Maybe!
The delay makes sense. There is no reason why A:CM should go up against Halo4 or COD this holiday season. Those other games have more budget for marketing and A:CM will be virtually unnoticed by the casual gamer who isn't following this game already. It sucks but it's the smart move.
Sega would never be able to spend enough money to competitively market A:CM against the winter competition. They posted a pretty significant loss in profit in the last fiscal year...so I think we are very fortunate to get A:CM at all at this point.

Yeah, i was saying that a few pages ago, I really think that the Wii U will get the game this year.

Better than rushing out some 4 hour piece of crap because they know the fans will buy it. Come on.
This would be true if the game was announced before 4-5 months. But the game is announced more than year ago. "Rushing" can't be an excuse in this case.

The delay makes sense. There is no reason why A:CM should go up against Halo4 or COD this holiday season.
This is their own fault for delaying the game for the winter season. Spring '12 was fine.

The delay makes sense. There is no reason why A:CM should go up against Halo4 or COD this holiday season. Those other games have more budget for marketing and A:CM will be virtually unnoticed by the casual gamer who isn't following this game already. It sucks but it's the smart move.
Sega would never be able to spend enough money to competitively market A:CM against the winter competition. They posted a pretty significant loss in profit in the last fiscal year...so I think we are very fortunate to get A:CM at all at this point.
YES ITS MAKES SENSE I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS
BUT THOSE "CASUAL GAMERS" GET MY GOAT ITS ALL BASED AROUND THEM
BUSINESS AS USUAL THEN BACK TO"THE WAITING GAME" :-\

Believe it or not, it takes longer than a year to make a quality game. The average development time is 2-3 years, and in many cases, even that is too short. Frankly, Mass Effect 3 could have used a whole nother year. Rushed dev times are one of the industries biggest problems; too much emphasis is placed on fulfilling some arbitrary release date. I'm surprised Sega is allowing GBX to take their time. So what if Aliens is taking longer. If the game is better, than all is well. When the game comes out and if it turns out to be lame, then you can complain all you want. But wait until you actually play it.

That would be like releasing The Avengers in May BUT only on IMAX 3-D, then in July they release it in 2-D.
Ok, that trailer restored my faith in this game again. Holy moly! My heart is still throbbing! According to that suspense trailer they decided to make the Aliens more lethal than ever. They seem to be able to take a lot of punishment before going down and they are strong as hell. THumbs up for that. This game is going to be scary! At least that is what I hope for.
Sucks though that we're going to have to wait forever to play it.
All this time, and I still see games with far surperior graphics that have been released on time :P
The story better make up for it.

So you've never seen a timed exclusive before? Ever?
I for one am gutted for this delay, as the only two games I've been looking forward to this year, have both moved to spring 2013!!! The other being TOMBRAIDER.
My cold winter nights, with Aliens and Lara Croft are now just a dream. My Christmas holidays will now be drowning my sorrows in ALE!

Well, if we count A:CM' announce in 2008, they had 4 years to develop the game. Thats enough I think.
Mass Effect 3 may be rushed, may be not, but its pretty decent game. Also it delivered simple but in the same time totally addictive multiplayer. If ACM is "bad" and rushed as ME3 is - then we can talk about being my personal GOTY '13 ;)
The development time for this game is around the same time spent on borderlands and brother in arms, according to Randy Pitchford's press release this morning.
At least the graphics, animations, sounds, etc. for the Aliens are looking better. It's going to be hard waiting that long...
Im goner break out my old zx spectrum 46ker

animations, for the Aliens are looking better.
Some animations were re-used/placeholders from Borderlands 2 actually. (the shotgun fireing/pump animation for example)
Totally looks like they fixed the alien and weapon sounds. f**k the delay, I'll wait as long as it takes provided the result is amazing.
Also, people complaining about graphics; it's pre-alpha and the console version, what do you expect?
Totally fine with however many delays they want, as long as they're working to make it sing in the meantime.
Ha! Imagine if the delay was to rewrite the story to remove Hadley's Hope - would one fanboy cryfest cancel out the other?
(I am quite aware it isn't, before anyone takes me literally)
Really 2013? They could have it out by September of this year, but this really pisses me off since they have been working on the game since 2006. I don't think this game had any reason to be push back until 2013!
7 motherf*ckin years!
And it still doesn't impress >:(
Delays aren't necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps they found a bug that can't be fixed for a while? I hope they fix the sound of the pulse rifle it just doesn't sound the same as the movie and the avp game.
Take a look at Duke Nukem Forever. They work on the game since 1997 and the game end up being a huge failure.
should of figured with the delay -.- give them some odd 3-4 months with mr pitchford pulling his head out his own ass once again to tell us how "canon" and "amazing" this game will be.
come on GBX, we waited long enough; 7 years in fact for this game to be released. I for one aint taking no more and will literally turn around and say "screw it". AVP2010 will be the closest game we have to a canon video that actually made an attempt to deliver and not constantly push its release date back in an attempt to, and i quote "finish off some areas." at least give us a 30 minute to hour long demo so we can relish what you have accomplished so far. If not, then im out and will go out nostradamus style and say "this game will suck."
I can't say I'm surprised really but it does wind me up. The sad thing is, Gearbox should/could have finished developing this game in a couple of years and it just feels like Sega is deliberately delaying what is an already finished game. Something is definitely not quite right about this. It really is quite disgusting how Sega have treated this game from start to finish.
They have not literally been working on this game for 7 years, lol... the first press release was in 08 and they had not begun production yet at that time even. Unfortunately they announced this game way too early. The actual devlopment time is the same as it was for borderlands and brother in arms.

They announced it in December 2006, actually. Though I think GB said they didn't start working on the game until the following year.
G'damnit. :-\ What a kick in the nuts.
I've got mixed feelings about changing the winter release. I think it's already been shown that A:CM has a ton of hype, fan community aside. To throw something random out there, a lot of us have been playing more AvP 2010 lately, and the number of players on that game has gone up quite a bit, perhaps due to Prometheus.
I think you have to compare the benefits of each release, Prometheus on DVD/Blu-Ray being a boost while other holiday games being released presenting a challenge, while the Feb. release avoids this competition, but could lose out on the Prometheus hype that could make a difference during the holiday shopping season.
I'm on the fence, but if the delay results in a better product, of course it's worth the (painful) wait.
I think these delays would be easier if we had a rock-solid company like Valve behind the wheel. GBX just seems shaky, despite their recent successes. They don't have the consistency or the high quality to pull off things like this, especially after Duke Nukem, my god. And SEGA? Just freaking forget about it.
Even in that article, they boast about AvP being a top-seller, and ignore that the multiplayer sucked so hard it died very soon after release and then support was completely dropped. That's a f**king failure, not a success as your initial sales would suggest, assholes. Everyone knows a lot of those initial sales were just from the nature of the product itself and the legions of fans it already has, rather than a reflection on the quality of the actual game, which was shoddy.
The longevity and reception of the game are the true indicators, both of which were poor.
f**king SEGA. Makes my skin crawl.

Well, i'm a big fan as you, but the truth is that, this graphics is poor, and a damage models are too, and the acid effect is not so good.
In coop, when a Xeno jump onto a marine and the others are shooting the Xeno, that's a poor animation, and some sound effect is strange too. I hope the Gearbox will work on the game a lot of, because this will not enough in 2013.
4 thing is important for a great game:
- a great story
- great voiceactors
- great soundtrack
- minimize the bugs
anything else wont matter so much, graphics for example, thats why i still play with games from the 90's
Gameplay. The game needs good gameplay and that should be at the top of the list. I can forgive shoddy voice acting (Resident Evil), I can forgive a few glitches (The original Planet Side, etc). Solid gameplay, is absolutely nessascary.

Can you imagine the same thing to happen to ACM too ?
Lol I thought the new AvP was the end, despite the good things about the game.
That shit would be the end of the end. :laugh:
In conclusion, the trailer is pretty decent. The graphics are nice and gameplay looks pretty solid. Again, we have faced yet another delay. How many times has this game been delayed already? Pretty sure it was Summer 2011, March 2012, Fall 2012 and now it's Feb 2013. Ughhh, at least they're patching up some bugs and a few tweaks here and there. Delaying was the right move though. Winter is the prime time for big games, especially this year; Halo 4, Borderlands 2 and Black Ops 2. A good move, but pissed a lot of people off.
Yea funny of Sega to boast about a proven track record with AvP. A track record of lining their pockets while disappointing the fans.

Exactly. That statement was kind of ridiculous, and shows just how bottom-line their train of thought is. ($$$)
I wonder if Sega wants to avoid big title games like Halo 4 and Resident Evil 6 which could be they move it to early 2013?

Actually in 2006 Sega only announced they signed a deal with Gearbox to work on an Aliens game. It wasn't until 2008 that Aliens: Colonial Marines was officially revealed. As stated a bunch of times they revealed the prototype of the game much too early and due to whatever circumstances didn't start full fledged development until a year and a half ago.
Yeah just read that article from Xbox 360 news, and Pitchford says that they announced the game too early, in the pre-production phase when they didn't even have any code written.
It's nice to hear the acknowledgement and that they're confident in this time frame. At least the previous dates weren't pushed on us as actual release, but as estimates.
This one seems like the last, and it's a realistic length of time away. If they aren't finished by Feb, mother of god it better be beyond awesome. :laugh:
Delayed again???
Im worried it will be a Sh*t game now, each time they delay it, it just shows that they are not happy with the game.
They could probably have it ready by this fall if they wanted to put borderlands 2 on hold and then put A:CM up against some heavy hitters also being released this fall.
Or they could keep making A:CM a better game with more options and modes and release Borderlands 2 this fall. :)
They can't avoid the heavy hitters. They are there. Always. If its not Black Ops 2, the next year Modern Warfare 4 will take its place. Most of the mainstream games are annual so there is no point to compete.
pissed off is an understatement...... dissapointed with it all really..... too many setbacks an ive lost faith... lets hope the delays are all worth it!!
cmon gearbox sort it out as you really are pushing the fans away with this one.
wicked lookin trailer tho

and don't forget the game was originally announced for the ps2 back then on 2002 no matter Sega and GB hadn't taken over the project yet. Look at this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIeLGifENbI# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIeLGifENbI#)
You people saying we rage and we blah blah blah just don't know what means been waiting for this game for 10 f**king years now (it will be 11 next year when released), just like DN fans had to do as well..
Now comes the 57564645th delay and some of you still dare say "don't worry, you overreact", "It gotta be for a good cause, to refine the game".
Meh!
Although it may have been delayed.....again, this game looks fricking awesome!!! Can't wait and if it's a little while longer then so be it!
The game announced back in 2002 was a different game by a different company. If you want to put it like that, then I have been waiting for this game for over 20 years. ;)

I know what the waiting is like, I remember reading about Colonial Marines for the PS2 (which is not the same game). Hell, I've waited for a game like this since I was a kid. But if waiting a couple more months means a better game, I'll gladly wait a little longer.
Nowadays I'm shocked if a game isn't delayed multiple times. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait
whatever. How can just some of you even imply the people is overreacting?, wtf!, It is just a natural reaction after 10 goddamn years (it will be 11 next year, dont forget) being treatened like If we were retards.
People have to vent all hate after all these years, or do you think they are emotionless robots?. You just cant' say people overreact when this particular case, the ACM case has been bordering on ridiculousness for an already fair ammount of time.
You know, not all of us can cover our ears and say LALALALALALALALAL anytime we are treatened like tards in a more than lame attempt to try to ignore the facts.
And I still remember before the last delay things like you say "It is better to delay It some months more, so they tune things up". And what you will be saying in the next delay, the same again?
Ok, now you are overreacting. Relax.
I agree, escroto. For all intents and purposes, those of us who were anticipating the PS2 game have been waiting around the 10 year mark.
I don't judge the GBX timeframe by that, because they've had a standard development time so far, but as for the overall atmosphere surrounding the game property, it's a long, long, long ass time regardless of the details. This is going to affect your future customers and fans anticipating the game no matter what, and should be taken into account.
Can't just brush it off and say "it wasn't the same game." Yeah, it was. Doesnt matter the company or platform.
But still, I can't say I'm not excited to see something concrete on the horizon. If it gets pushed back again, no way I'm gonna buy it new. I'll buy it used, to make a statement ;).

Not really. It's a marketing strategy that has more to do with profit instead of quality. I think that GBX/Sega are foregoing a Holiday release this year so that they don't have to compete with Halo4 and the next COD game which will both be released around that time.
I don't think we would be getting the game we are going to get from gearbox if that other game back from 2002 was made.

yeah, they speak like If they knew what we are going to do with our money and what not right? ;D. I will first rent It for my xbox and see how the game looks and plays like. Then If everything looks fine and the game is really good, I'll buy It for my quite expensive rig built It myself :), though I very much doubt this game needs too much horsepower since It is based on the unreal engine. Maybe new lightning effects demand a post processing effects tone down and some AA too, but little more than that I'm expecting
a clockwork hahah, man that was a fun one indeed
enough is enough ;D
who still believes in this "we dont want to rush it" s**** aaaaahhhhhhwwwwwwww, why o why???
They cant produce a decent a game in 3 years so that means they can in 4??? Hand over that god damn project to someone else then and let play a 10/7 game, making a game is not rocketscience if u got the knowledge.
C'mon It was clear at the Pax they won't publish it this year. I wouldn't even call this a delay because the game will still be available in winter.
WAHHHH DELAYS WAHHHH WAHHHH
IF THEY SAY IT'S NOT READY THEN IT'S NOT F**KING READY.
They''re putting time and effort into making this the best game possible and all you can do is bitch and moan.
Great trailer though.

enough is enough ;D
who still believes in this "we dont want to rush it" s**** aaaaahhhhhhwwwwwwww, why o why???
They cant produce a decent a game in 3 years so that means they can in 4??? Hand over that god damn project to someone else then and let play a 10/7 game, making a game is not rocketscience if u got the knowledge.
exactly. Do you man remember the day ID failed at getting the rights to produce an aliens game?, man I regret that day unlike anything else. Just imagine what could have been an already masterpiece like doom3 and Its atmosphere, everything used for an aliens game...
I'm sure I would still be playing It, like I still do with doom3 from time to time, just to remember myself how an aliens game should be and feel like
VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS,BASICALLY DELAYED ONE YEAR FROM NOW >:[
on the other hand ,LIFE GOES ON.
Ive been waiting to play since that GameInformer issue announced the game way back when.
At this point, I just want a game thats gonna deliver the thrills tje movie did,and from.all the talk the Gearbox
Team is doing,im confident this will at least be a 9/10 score game.There seems to be alot of work put into it,
Just judging from the trailers.Each time game footage is shown,there seems to be improvement over the last wich
Means theire hard at work to make it the best possible Aliens;CM it can be.So this time we have an actual confirmed date.
We obviously know the campaign mode has evolved from what it was when it was first shown.
We also know that theres a playable multiplayer.A good guess would be that the game is anywhere from 75-90% done.
The plot is set,the game mechanics are coming along ,the visuals music and atmosphere are up and running.
Now the have 8+ months to polish up the game,clean up the rough animations and voice acting left,
And finish making this live up to the Aliens "sequel" hype.
What I really want is for this game to be an amazing,long lasting experience that will spur up
Great sequels in the next gen.
Ill wait patiently for this game B)
Yes, if they release the game on time then that will be a little over 2 years for development.
From the way things are looking now, they should have enough time to deliver a solid game for us to enjoy.
Unfortunate, but not surprising. I'll buy it whenever it comes out regardless of reviews because, well, I'm either a big fan or an idiot (depending on how you look at it). I hate delays like everyone else, but I'm not going to denounce my fanship over it. I've been waiting for this game for almost 6 years since it's announcement in 2006, a 6 month delay isn't going to kill me.
And Predaker, while I haven't been following the development this whole time, what about the screen shots shown in 2008 via Game Informer? Or the 13 second clip from Jace Hall in August of the same year?

They have not literally been working on this game for 7 years, lol... the first press release was in 08 and they had not begun production yet at that time even. Unfortunately they announced this game way too early. The actual devlopment time is the same as it was for borderlands and brother in arms.
They announced it in December 2006, actually. Though I think GB said they didn't start working on the game until the following year.
Ah ok Gotcha thanks. Got my dates mixed up. Probably from all this waiting... lol
Actually in 2006 Sega only announced they signed a deal with Gearbox to work on an Aliens game. It wasn't until 2008 that Aliens: Colonial Marines was officially revealed. As stated a bunch of times they revealed the prototype of the game much too early and due to whatever circumstances didn't start full fledged development until a year and a half ago.
this game isn't ever gonna come out
All of this sounds kinda familiar....
QuoteDevelopment on Diablo III began in 2001 when Blizzard North was still in operation, and the game was first announced on June 28, 2008, at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France.[18]

whatever. How can just some of you even imply the people is overreacting?
Because you and a lot of other people are overreacting. It's typical behavior of fans or video game players, self-entitled whiners who feel they are owed something. If the game is delayed, then that usually means that it won't be finished by release date. So you have one of two options: try to finish it by the release, which entails rushing the development as much as possible (including cutting or reducing content), or push the release date back to give the devs more time to complete it. They wisely choose the latter. Yet many here would rather they chose the former, just so they can get it a couple months sooner. Boggles the mind.
Have patience people. The game was delayed, that just means that they are working on making it better. I would rather have an AAA game that took some time to make rather then a rushed lesser quality game.
Aliens fan have been burned a lot before, if this game does well it could reinvigorate us. Plus now we have a definitive launch date. That counts.

Sorry, but if you want to be fooled by SEGA, that will be your own problem.
This trailer looks amazing, I cannot wait to play this game. I don't mind delays if it means they're improving the game. I'd rather wait longer for a quality product than have them rush something and be crap.
@ Xenomrph
+1 that. I have been so unhappy with practically any "Alien" based games--save for the first two from Rebellion on the PC. Now that we have an actual release date (and not merely a general Seasonal time-frame) --now you have something of an idea as to when it may actually release.
Not fond of the fact that it was pushed back again, but that was actually a really great trailer.

Just hearing it on forums doesn't really mean much to me. I've read up a little, and while I visit the Gearbox forums occasionally, I don't recall ever reading it from someone "in the know" that it didn't really start up until 2008. It wouldn't surprise me, but I don't really trust the word of other forum-goers. No offense. Either way, I've been waiting since I heard of this game in 06, and like I said, another 6 months of waiting won't kill me. ;D
I work at Best Buy in the Game Department, we have been talking about this alot! Now we have a "real" date. Let's hope it makes it on time! It looks AWESOME!!!!!!! :-*
It's not that the game is delayed that's pissing me off, it's the very simple fact they had more than enough time to make a solid game in and out.
It's like asking a lazy person to clean my car, but because you know he's lazy you'll give him a break and tell him you got two weeks to finish it when in reality it should only take a day for a top notch clean. Two weeks pass by and he only has the tires done ::)
Point is, if he needs more time that just goes to show you how much he f--king sucks. Sure if you give him two months to clean it will look nice but W T F kid?! It could have been done MUCH sooner and I could have been driving all this time.
What are you guys doing at Gearbox? You guys must be creating DX12 support with ultra photorealism graphics and cutting edge exploration gameplay that's gonna make Crysis 3 look like nintendo to justify another delay.
Something tells me ACM is still going to be a simple cardboard, dx9, meh graphics, linear level design, unoptimized PC FPS game that will still have plenty of bugs. And it won't be because Gearbox didn't have enough time, it will be because they suck at making games.
It happened to Duke Nukem Forever, and it's following the same errie pattern.
the main problem is with this that gbx and sega are setting the hurdle waaaaaaaaaay too much high for themself with these promises

That is information from gearbox, not just the word of some forum goer. It was convenient to answer his question by quoting newbeing. Read the gearbox forums, it has Randy's press release.
Thanks to newbeing for the clarification!
ah, f**k it.
i'm not even excited about it anymore. if it comes out or not, whatever. frankly, it wasn't looking special at all at this point and this trailer was all editing, no substance. put the tactical elements back, get rid of the hit boxes, and release some f**king alien footage and i'll feel the delay a little.
Delays aside, this is kind of a double-edged sword. With all of the time they're taking, the game had better measure up. If not, I can see it really hurting Gearbox's reputation and credibility. It already looks gorgeous, but they'd better use these coming months to pour that same devotion and focus into the bloody gameplay.
Those "close encounters" still bother me. The facehugger ones are fine, I guess, but having some sort of grapple mechanic with the adult aliens is a mistake, I think. I know the Vasquez scene is ammo for "humans can fight off an alien and win," but that was one very specific scene, and Vas managed to injure the alien before getting into hand-to-hand contact. I'm sure that normally wouldn't happen.
I saw another one in that video, with the marine grabbing the aliens head. Good lord give me a break. Why even have something like that? Necessary complications with no benefit other than to cater to gamers who suck, same with the facehuggers. The only option should be to run or die.
I'm also still not thrilled about the alien behavior, but this doesn't matter too much seeing as how you can change the difficulty and playable aliens in MP mean smarter, faster, more cunning xenos like we should have.
They actually move remarkably similar to how they did in Aliens, it just seems a bit slow and the pathfinding still looks weak.
First of all, You people expected it to get pushed back! WHO CARES!?!
Extra Time + Effort = Better Game
Do the math. I don't care if it's delayed until next year. We've seen this before. But it's not a big deal.
To those who won't buy the game because of release? I mean really... Your gonna buy it anyway, your still gonna keep checking news about the game. Hell, your still gonna love it. Just play the games that are out now and enjoy until next year... WOW!
It was as if a million fan boys cried out in terror, but sadly weren't silenced...
The trailer gives us nothing new whatsoever. Still looks kinda cool.
This made me laugh though...
Quote4 thing is important for a great game:
- a great story
- great voiceactors
- great soundtrack
- minimize the bugs
anything else wont matter so much, graphics for example, thats why i still play with games from the 90's
Only one of those things is really important and that's the last one. The other three most important things are gameplay, gameplay and gameplay.
Those four things are more important for a non-interactive medium. They're called movies.
DAMN, how many years has this thang been delayed now?...
But I'm hoping its for the best...it has to be at this point! It loox great so far!
But to the people that are so pissed about the delay that they claim they won't buy it when it releases....get real.
It's not like there's another Alien game coming out that you'll buy instead. :P
I'm still on-board, SEGA/Gearbox/FOX!
*Ready to drop*
Does this mean they have to recall all their promo material in video game stores that say 'COMING 2012'?
i find it hilarious that people really think that when a game gets delayed they put any more work in it.
its like you've never been in a videogame release before.

Does anyone know how big Gearbox is as a company? What about how many of the members are working on this game? Games take a long time to make with a lot of people. I don't think Gearbox is as big as EA or some other publishers. Fewer people means it is going to take more time.

This is not your average cookie cutter game like COD, they basically built it from scratch. Trust me they are still working on the game.
Is there any reason anyone should 'trust you'?
Its fairly obvious as we have seen improvements with each new release of material. ::) you dont think they have a bunch of ideas they want to implement? Of course they will continue to polish the game. Their reputation will depend on it, and if they can make it better why not?
What improvements? What was actually new in this 'new' trailer? The only thing that struck me as being different was the blood sprays which looked hokey as. Everything else looked recycled from previous material.

There are a lot of factors that go into setting the release date, but they will use the time alotted to make what they hope is an awesome game. They know how much hype is behind this game, they talk about how they are crazy alien fans, and with each new release of material there have been improvements.

The overall lighting and textures looked much better, especially on the aliens. So maybe nothing new in terms of actual scenes or in-game assets, but certainly looking much more polished.

You can't say that they will definitely be using the time allotted to make the game as good as they can make it. I don't mean to be arguing, but when you say that they WILL, it just seems like that's a fact, none of us can possibly know what they can do, the only thing is to hope that they will use the extra time to make the game better. Look at Too Human, Duke Nukem Forever, Daikatana, etc. These and other games went through so many delays, only to end up being shitty as hell.

Any comparisons? I thought the stuff we've seen in previous trailers looked pretty good. Didn't see any noticeable improvement. Woulda thought if they've imrpoved lighting and textures, they would've shown us some new gamplay footage to show it off, rather than recycled stuff.

I am not predicting how they will spend their future time, its just blatantly obvious the game is far from finished. I believe they are still working on it. Those other games you mentioned are not good comparions because those were completely different situations.
Watch the personal remarks guys.

You sound pretty sure right there.
The other games I mentioned are actually good comparisons regardless of how much more terrible their situation was. I am just playing another devil's advocate here, I would want this game to succeed so that I could eat my own words.
It's true that there are games that were delayed for long periods of time that ended up being shit. But there are games that were delayed that ended up good, like every Valve or Blizzard game ever. Being delayed can steer a game either direction, lets just hope its positive for this case.

My first reaction to the description of what this game was going to be like years ago; that shit made me so f**king happy, I want to be as excited as I was back then, NOW.
:D I love how all these people are saying that there now not going to buy it etc etc yet when the game comes out they'll be raving about it!
I am alittle bit gutted but if releasing it a few months further means a better game then I'm happy! I love avp 2010 but imagine how much better that would be with a few more months of the devolpers polishing it!
Still got plenty of awesome games till February anyway!!
It's like how stacks of people read bad reviews of AvP flicks, but still shell out the dosh to see it, only to realise the reviews were right.
And then shell out again to buy it on DVD and Blu-Ray despite loathing it.
Yeah. It's a good thing I never saw AvP:R or purchased AvP2010 (even on discount.) :P
If this game turns out well, I will gladly buy it though. I'm hoping with that yellow alien. :)

Game looks great, can't wait to play it. People should probably wait and play the game before condemning it. I'm pretty sure the industry people who have gotten to play the game at PAX and whatnot have said it was a blast.
I'm pretty upset about the delay, but it's understandable when examined, I hope Gearbox uses the time to make the game much better.
Quote from: Jayshum on May 21, 2012, 01:36:00 PM
My guess for this, is that it's now internally known within the industry that GTA V will release in October. That, combined with Halo 4 and the new CoD, makes this a sensible decision in my opinion. I understand if you're pissed off about this, but I'm really looking forward to GTA and Halo as well as A:CM, so this is fine with me (more time to savour it when it releases). :D
Even if its for the best I'm still pissed. And I'm all for devs taking their time, and striving for perfection blah blah blah....
I will still be getting it, I still think it will be good, and I'm still mad.
Yeesh people are really taking things so personal on either side. It's just a game after all so why make the disagreements so harsh? We're all Aliens fans here so no need to show malice :D
It's perfectly fine to be critical, I mean we are spending our hard earned cash on this and we have been burned many times in the past, but it's helpful to be constructive too. Nor is it wrong to get excited. I mean hey, a few years ago we didn't even know if this game was alive.
As with anything there is a chance of disappointment, but there is always the chance of something being better than expected.
I just hope it's fun enough for my friends, who are not huge Aliens fans, to want to play it for a long period of time after its release or better yet that its so good it reinvigorates the franchise for a whole new generation.
My only concern is that it comes out a few weeks before BioShock: Infinite, which could really cut into some of the game's sales and online activity. I guess we'll see what happens.
Face it people the big delay was horrible.
They should of rushed this game so all of us could own it for once.

Oh, shit that's right Bioshock, well..I'll wait for A:CM much later then.
The company is wasting their time pushing the games release date.
If they wanna do fans a favor just rush the games production.

Not like I care anyway if it was rushed.
I understand movie's take years to make but video games???.
Do you have anything else to say, bro? We know your feelings towards rushed POS games vs. delays. A new contribution would be nice.
I think the backlash from many members here is more than justified. This will be the 4th,
4th delay. That's not 1 or 2 or 3 but 4!
A case with 4 stones in it!

But seriously, that's pretty brash for a game that's been in the pipe, in one way or another, for a decade. Give me a break. Any game company would realize this, but apparently complaining about it makes people "haters." Lol.
To be fair we've seen great progress, and have a definite release date, but these emotions are based on facts and a real past that's involved some heinous delays and development hurdles.
That's why smart companies like Valve and Blizzard have opted for the "when it's done" approach. You don't have as much of this if the game takes for bloody ever. As it stands, I say this reaction is deserved. GBX has a spotty track record, and some of what we've seen in A:CM has been awful. Duke Nukem was a flat disaster, and regardless of their level of involvement, many perceive GBX to be just as responsible as the other companies involved.
This is what creates the lack of trust that the time will be spent making some incredible game. Especially with SEGA involved, yeesh. As fans, we know jack. They could've pushed it back simply to work on other projects and stop work on A:CM altogether, or because SEGA told them to for whatever financial reason.
I definitely prefer to err on the side of skepticism.
And personally, it's
very easy for me not to buy a brand new game if I think the developers and/or development process have been questionable. In fact, it's a much more difficult choice to shell out for a $60 game that's been dangled in front of my face forever, and could potentially suck. You vote with your money, and the kids who get every new game they want from mom and dad have no concept of this. They get every hyped-up game no matter what went into it or what took place during its' development. This doesn't help the industry in any way.
Some of us do in fact have some sort of principle, and the self-discipline to back it up and speak with our money.
If GBX shows improvement, and that the delay was justified, sure as hell I'll buy it. If not, and it's some fishy $ bs or nothing has really changed and we get some mediocre game, it's pawn shop time. An easy decision.

Rushing a game is never a good idea, period.
Of course Duke Nukem Forever is a lesson in what happens when you take too long to make a game, but
justifiable delays are perfectly alright and generally beneficial.
Best trailer yet for the game, showing some good polish to it, better quality voice work.
The delay makes sense given what it would be up against in late 2012, and if the early 2013 date means more polish, it's a positive thing, plenty of other games to play until then.
On a side note, 0:57 "Where am I?" sounds like Bill Paxton, or at least someone who has a very similar voice...

Good trailer, but then "February 2013" cut down all my hype in one single blow. I'm not hating on it, just speaking the truth, and it's probably for the best, have the hype dead now, get back into it when it's a lot closer.

i find it hilarious that people really think that when a game gets delayed they put any more work in it.
its like you've never been in a videogame release before.
Yeah, this. All this "its better not to rush it but delay it" is totally off in ACM' case. What happened with DNF being delayed - fail, Brink - fail, RAGE - average at best, Too Human - below average... there are other examples as well. 1-3 months delay is ok but delaying the game with years is very bad.
Also the trailer is ridiculous - they are sending one (1) f**king man army as backup rescue team, holy shit... the player grabs the xeno's head and push it off, most of the sounds are the same, nothing new at all. We can kinda say most of the shown material is placeholder but who cares, if you are delaying the game just delay it with some news. Do not release some trailer which pisses the true fans even more.
Other funny statement is the delay because of CoD and Halo. Let me ask you something. Why you buy some game? Because you want it right? So you will buy it anyway, no matter when, if its too late or at day 1 - you will buy it. If two great games which you want to own are being released in the same day but you can only buy one, you will buy the second game later on. The next week or month or whatever. If someone wants to buy ACM he will do it. Max Payne 3 and Diablo 3 were released in the same day and what happened with MP3? NOTHING! Even Diablo 3 got outsold by MP3 in the UK charts for the retail sales http://www.computerandvideogames.com/348374/uk-chart-max-payne-3-beats-diablo-3-to-no1/ (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/348374/uk-chart-max-payne-3-beats-diablo-3-to-no1/) "We delay ACM because of Black Ops 2 and Halo 4" yeah sure..

Yep. They pulled this same exact move with DNF.
People say "oh it's the publishers, it's the publishers." Not with ol' GBX. I think they enjoy pulling this crap sometimes. They really don't do squat with the game after a certain point.

Another day another delay. I remember back in 2010 their excuse for delaying the game was so it didn't have to complete with sales of AVP. At this point I really hope Rebellion is working on an AVP4 because I'm so tired of Gearbox's nonsense.
I doubt about that. If Reb are thinking about new AvP game its for the next gen for sure. No new AvP game coming for this gen mate.

"It is all for the better" "You're overreacting" (waiting for this game for 10 years now xD, but hey bro you overreact) "More time means a better game" (goood, let us wait for the 20 years delay mark ok? :laugh:l)

How can people say things like this unironically when the game isn't even out yet? ???
all you guys are complaining about a delay, yeah sure....they delayed it again.
But I'd rather they did a good job rather than handing us something that is 'almost' complete.
The last thing they need is another Duke Nukem (I actually enjoyed the game ::)).
Just use your head, have some patience and it will be released....oh well I'm gonna go back to playing with my Pulse rifle ;D
To all the 'that's it, i'm out' crowd - Half-Life 2 was delayed time and again and is one of the best games ever made. DNF was too and is rubbish. Being delayed is neither a mark of quality nor a guarantee of failure.
I dunno, as an adult I find it remarkably easy to say, "oh well then, I'll wait 'til February". Seriously, it'd be barmy to release ACM against Halo 4 and the new COD. Business wise it's an entirely sensible decision. 'cause, y'know, if it sells well then people are more likely to make more Aliens stuff. How is that bad?
Just relax. Prometheus is still coming this year. Plenty of other ace games are coming out. If you're really lucky some amazing real life stuff might happen to you to! This situation is so far from being the end of the world as to be ridiculous.
Take it from a veteran of the uk timed Sony exclusive release of Ghostbusters. It'll all be fine.
yeah and those that feel that they have waited too loong read this;
http://www.gearboxity.com/content/view/876/33/ (http://www.gearboxity.com/content/view/876/33/)
the game was 'released' to press earlier than the other titles not a 'longer' wait which you claim.
I trust them to do as they say.

Half-Life 2 was delayed one
major time as far as I know. From 2003 to 2004. Everything before that was a matter of developing ideas and getting the technology into place.

Please. There is no excuse for the way Gearbox has treated it's fanbase, time and again.
OH LOOK AT THE SHINY THING! LOOK. Isn't it cool!?
It's coming soon.
Oh wait, no it's not! **** you fans!
This year, we'll get it out.
Maybe next year.
Eh, sometime. I'm too busy swimming in money and doing lines of coke off a whore's ass.
Seriously. We're talking about a company, who's leader basically implied his wife was going to give him
really good head if he got Duke Forever out the door on time. Class act. Funny thing is? They still missed their mark on that one, even though they had a nearly complete game on their hands for a year and a half! They sat on the game for six months, it came out looking horribly outdated, and suffered from a piss poor reception.
At some point a game company does have to just cut their losses and release the damn game. To keep doing this over and over every year is pissing people off, and it's frankly going to hurt the game in the reviews. It only gets less impressive as time goes on... And if they're going to keep delaying it, why do they keep advertising it each year. If you're not ready, you're not ready. So wait until you are.
No, what I'm saying is that in the grand scheme of things, it isn't really that important. Certainly not enough to get so angry about. Of course I'd rather have had it years ago, but I'm not going to stress about it. Gearbox owe me nothing, they'll either do a good job or make themselves look fools. Either way, I'm sure I can find plenty of things to occupy my mind in the meantime. All the anger in the world isn't going to change a damn thing. One way or another, we're all ultimately in the same boat as far as this game is concerned. It's too exhausting to be cross about computer game delays anymore. Maybe it's just me.

To be honest they didn't show up anything really exciting in this "new" trailer, most of this stuff is closely related to those videos from that special event, some scenes are duplicated, some of them are indeed new but they don't really show anything that exciting. I mean, I accepted the delayed release date, but in my opinion the trailer didn't make up for it the way I hoped it would.

yeah it looks good so why didnt they release it last year december??
still building levels? still recording sounds, sentences? aaaaaaaaaahhhhw so still not ready???? thats the case? fooled us again with showing us short videos of their 1 hour long game
Spoiler
wankers ;)
there would be no problem if they just would make an announcment about that "yes we are lazy as f*** and we need more time" or "a virus deleted all our work we have to do it again" instead of "we are sooo cooool guys that we are making one door texture for a whole weekend just to make you happy and thats way it took ages to finish the game, arent we soooo coool and nice" yyyyyyyay shut up!
Oh dont say that mate... The textures in their current state are worse than the AvP 2 textures compared to the current date textures standard ;D
In my opinion rushed games are great games.
Why would a company still push the release date when production goes nowhere?.
AL()ENS
COLONIAL MARINES
IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR U SCREAM
ON THE NET HEAR A THOUSAND FANS SCREAM
WE ARE WE ARE MARINES SO DEAL WITH IT
In that video that was posted by Effectz, I love how most of the footage is actually multiplayer.
Was the game rushed? No, and the visuals speaks for itself, but we've waited for technology to get to today's quality for it to come out right after 3 descent but 2 totally dated looking games Aliens/Predator, and one that stands out to being a top of the line reboot but lacking much weight among movie fans)
Even with A:CM fans have waited much too long and yet visually it stems on only being a more detailed versions of the ones before but not much more enticing in terms of vision.
I'm sure game fans could agree, you could put a famous voice over talent on pretty much everything but you can't make it a better looking game by doing so.
Hopefully A:CM will be much more fun than the previous avp games which I'm almost certain it will be. In terms of vision (after seeing that thing they called mutations of the alien) i'm not holding my breath for interesting canon. Its like where Prometheus goes in terms of stepping outside the box (the box that is Hadleys Hope) , ACM just stays put probably in a lavatory somewhere in the colony. But I hear there maybe a glimmer of hope as the developers had stated that players will find themselves on the Juggernaut. Hopefully they'll do more with it than a simple skirmish map (if they don't itmost certainly is a slap in the face).
Finally now that ACM is coming out, we can look forward to more Alien games rather than AVP games which will undoubtedly raise the bar on all levels.
At least the delay will give me more time to get money for this;

Amen to that.
This can't be the final Collector's Edition. Yes, back then when it was leaked it was more believable but frankly its crappy compared to the Borderlands 2 CE. I am pretty sure they will expand it and the final version will be way better.
In two trailers (contact and suspense) they have pushed A:CM back from it's original Spring 2012 to Feb 2013!
They need to give us something a bit better then a trailer every time they have bad news. A demo would be nice.
Someone at gearbox said they are focused on working on the game right now, so no demo coming soon. (At the gearbox forums)
We might see a demo right before the release, though. :)

Although I will still get the game, I too think its sales based.
IMO Gearbox should have released Borderlands at its original goal date at the beginning of July, and let ACM remain released in Fall. There would be no real competition if they stuck to releasing Borderlands in July. And then everyone is happy. (or more people are happy :) )

I'm quite confident that special edition set will still get released.
oh wow this looks amazing.
i enjoyed the past AvP games, and found myself really enjoying the marine campaigns, and this one seems to be pretty solid in that vein while also making it feel more immersive, because the last Avp game really felt like it was rolling with the marine side of things.
As long as the story refreshes the franchise I'll be ok with it even after the long wait, but man is this thing becoming more unbearable to gestate than a baby queen, but when it finally bursts forth its gonna be a rip roaring monster.

It wasn't polished but it appeared to be balanced. Still, they should not release a pre-alpha demo anyway.
I'm not hearing a great deal wrong with the sounds. There is some machine gun sounds that don't sound much like pulse rifles or smart guns. But there's also sounds that sound just like pulse rifles and smart guns. Which sound the same anyway.
The tracker at the start is a bit too low in pitch, but it still sounds like a tracker.

aliens sound like frogs when dying, and most of their sounds are ADI, nota Cameron's. There our 100% material truthful to Cameron eh Gearbox? :laugh:
Also, I'm pretty sure this new delay has a lot to do with Borderlands2. GB is lying once more

Yeah sure except the fact if xeno pounces on you, your teammates have less than a second to kill it otherwise its instant kill for the xeno like the AvP 2010 E-Grab >.<

Nope the sounds are right out of 'Aliens', sorry.

Some of them are
not from Aliens.
For example?

I've heard a few shorter shrieks which sound nothing like the sound work done for Aliens. Which I do have, by the way. I created an entire sound library of Alien/Aliens sound work. They sound like some of the stuff mixed for AVP/AVP:R (which contrary to popular opinion did not just reuse Aliens sounds, it had some new stuff mixed in there too.)
I like the way they sound, myself. Very in line with the "baby elephant" screams from the movie. As long as I don't hear any silly dinosaur grunting, ala AvP2010, I'll be content. :)

now that gotta be kidding me. Man, are we talking about ACM anytime we speak each other?, because I'm getting a bit lost already.

man I really dislike those space lizard or raptor sounds you are talking about. The fact that those aliens (and now the ACM ones) are aimed to the casual audience and primarily kids really sours me. :laugh:
Watch them push the game to the end of next year.
Wow that would be a nightmare :o.
If they do, so what? It's a game.
Indeedy.
A game like this doesnt stand a chance against the bigger gaming franchises, makes perefct sense they moved the release.
I disagree.
They are not pushing it because of other franchises.
If they needed to compete with Halo or CoD they would be launching it a little after Prometheus.Giving more hype to the franchise, but well...they are not doing this :)
I need to say too that the more this game is being polished the more i am getting exiting to it.
This shows me that Gearbox do care for this game.
I understand why movie release dates are pushed but why keep pushing video games ::).
The production will never get anywere for that game, it's been 10 years now.
They sure love dragging it out.

I am sure this time is for real :P
In the beginning of the development they didn't give us many info but now they gave us info in the interviews, magazines and videos.
The only thing that really bothers me is that people will try to find out videos of A:CM on the youtube and probably will get a gameplay from 2011, one from 2012 and another from 2013.
It's kind of hilarious that we will have a gameplay video for each year ;D

Announced 2007. Feb. 2008 I believe was when it was featured on the cover of Game Informer. Late 2008 it was delayed for the first time.
"It's been in development for 18 months." Randy Pitchford
the original title was cancelled and hence scraped so they had to start again
According to an old source can't find again :/ said by unknown (can't remember)

I know you're having trouble with this, but maybe it bears saying again: the game 'Aliens: Colonial Marines' which was meant to come out in 2002 was a
different game. It is categorically not the one we're waiting for now. Gearbox's game just has the same title, 'cause - y'know - it's a good title.

Oh lordy...
I don't care if the game was in development for 18 months only. Its still the same game announced back in 2006. Just like DNF was the same game announced in 1997. No matter how starts from scratch they've made or how long it was in ACTUAL development, its still the same game which all the fans are waiting for.
They still anounced it a bit too early. But at least we have a presumed definitive date, if it's delayed again, it won't really bother me. There's at least four games coming around late 2012 that will be satisfying enough for a while.
DNF was delayed with definitive date already set <.< =>

And so was Bioshock Infinite (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/09/bioshock-infinite-delayed-to-2013). Your point?
A game being delayed is not a prerequisite for being bad or good.
Here's hoping that it's a good thing.

My point is that its wrong to think everything is gonna be fine FOR SURE now, when we have exact ACM release date. This doesn't mean anything. It can get delayed again, even with this definitive date.

And I could counter by saying it's equally wrong to outright condemn a game just for being delayed, as you and some others have. Just wait until you play it, it's that simple.
I am not saying anything about the game in this case. I am talking to the people who are throwing cookies at their monitors just because we have a "solid" date. This date can be broken so easily, just like it happened with DNF.
A funny video, for sure, and a clever way to break another delay to fans, but I think this is kind of why people are getting nervous.
DNF took bloody forever, and the end result was mediocre at best. What were the delays for, to allow them time to assemble the basics of this shoddy product? I just can't imagine if they'd released it without delays, would the game even have been playable at all?
I think that's why fans are impatient and untrusting now. That's why I am. :laugh: Take developers at their word? No, no thanks. They can say whatever they want, regardless of what's actually happening or what their product really looks like. I'll save my excitement for concrete evidence of something great.
So far, Colonial Marines has delivered on the graphics and the effort making it look like a perfect Aliens clone, but that means very little as far as the game itself is concerned.
Bitching is justified, why would you try and stop people from complaining when they have very clear, and very justifiable, reasons to complain?
There's a difference between caution and bitching. Being cautious is completely justifiable; bitching is not, as you have yet to actually play the game. Be honest, people are more upset about having to wait more than anything else, and I understand. But where is the bitching about Bioshock Infinite? That's been delayed twice, and it was revealed 2 years ago. Many games gets delayed now a days. Is it because of DNF that people are worried? As has been stated numerous times already, they didn't create DNF from scratch, they started from where 3d Realms left, who were plagued by legal, creative, and economic issues from the start, which no doubt contributed to the shoddy product. I'm not saying we disregard GBX's responsibility completely, as it is definitely GBX's worst (but least involved) product. But what about GBX's other games? They have a decent track record, and what we've seen so far looks decent at worst. I guess I'm not seeing where all the negativity is coming from all of the sudden.

I wonder if this is why all of the trailers for A:CM only show cut scenes so far. Sure, they might be using the in-game engine to render those scenes...but what if they are only showing us that to hide some sort of problem with the gameplay itself? I know we've already seen some gameplay footage but it hasn't been a lot...and I have a feeling that what we've seen has been very carefully selected by GBX. Who knows, this might just be a game that spends more time trying to tell a shoddy story through cut scenes instead of through an actual video game. Maybe that's the lesson they learned from DNF.

Yeah I get you. Borderlands is a great game... GBX just seems so touch-and-go, and DNF really didn't help their reputation.
Maybe I'm just playing devils advocate, and I very much don't agree with some of the members in this thread and their levels of hate. I'm still excited for the game, but it's definitely dropping because of all of the unknowns that these delays could mean.
At any rate, more waiting. :-\ Sigh. It's definitely time for GBX to shit or get off the pot.
The sounds for the Aliens are much better in this trailer. They sound like nails on chalkboard instead of the croaking we heard before.

Personally I am not waiting for it, I am not a big fan of the previous. I never played the 2nd one so I am not so excited about Infinite. Thats why I don't care ;)

Oh come on! even in the unlikely event that it's all been some elaborate ruse and it's been the same game right from it's 2000/2001 announcment, it certainly wasn't a Gearbox game then. To complain that this specific game game we are currently waiting for has been in development for 10 years, and that Gearbox is responsible for that is a bit off the mark, isn't it?
Or am I getting an "Oh lordy..." for trying to reason out the unreasonable?! :)

You can never be sure, that is why game developers do test plays and even Demos, it's to try and find a medium which is very hard to achieve, to please everyone is ridiculous hard and just wont happen.
Same happened with AvP 2010, there are those that love and those that don't, people were really exited before hand and it turned out to be not a lot of peoples cup-of-tea.
The there is Urban Warfare, most of you probably never heard of it but it's an indieish game that is fantastic but there aren't as many players due to not being known of.
Either way.....a game is a game, if you don't want it. Don't get it.
More than anything I hate is someone who will lay their cards down to try change someone's opinion. Not saying you are, but they are out there :-\
I don't care how long the development takes as long as the final version keeps up with the expectations. Only thing thats still kinda weird are the aliens' huge feet and that they removed the tail fin again. Also they might consider to go easy on the blood cause tomato juice sprayed on every single surface doesn't equate to genuine scares. Those guys should replay Silent Hill once in a while.
