ACM Status Update #2

[Vulhala]

Screens look good. But that's just not enough info for me. We'll be waiting a while before we get this one guys 

[Hive Tyrant]

Why would they show us screens of A:CM if it's not going to be released? It's just delayed 'cuz they're working on DNF. 

[Vulhala]

Don't get me wrong, I honestly believe we'll see it. Just not for a while. Maybe they'll release it concurrently with the Alien Prequel 

[Salt The Fries]

Shifting priorities from Aliens: Colonial Marines to Duke Nukem Forever would be very bad. It's like unearthing a fossil of a dead animal and wanting to revive it and leaving a living animal to become one (a fossil, I mean). You can't have both at the same time, but...come on!

[RavagerDX]

I'm just happy we got something.

you never know, maybe sega thought that releasing alongside the prequel would be a money spinner.

the more time spent on ACM the better, imho

Whoa! What's with the massive alien re-design? In all the earlier interviews they talked about using Aliens as the primary source material, with a bit of Alien thrown in, which was reflected in the early screens. Now we have AVP aliens (with the bowed dorsal tubes and ridged tails) with AVP-R heads (visible in the screen where it hangs upside down)...

Created a new topic for the screens, let's keep this one for the status updates.

Looks like they were ripped from a movie. Nice. 

[skull-splitter]

Oh man, AvP3 should've looked like this...

(then again, with all the comments SEGA got on AvP, perhaps they learn for the next incarnation)

If they release these properly, I am going to have to get a a:cm profile, full of epic f*ucking win so happy right now, and I think you might have double posted the news article? Or my computer is spazed up.

The Japanese do love the Alien franchise.  I believe that even Alien3 was met with a positive reception when it was released there back in the day.  If SEGA has some fans on the board that decides when to release games, I wouldn't be surprised if we see this game released when the prequel comes out.  But at this point, I'm a little hesitant to give SEGA the credit of that much foresight when the development history of A:CM has been anything but intelligent on their part.

There is such a thing as spending too much time on development.  Game engines and consoles can become obsolete if a developer is not punctual with their product.  I'd rather see an A:CM that is slightly rushed at this point than over-developed.  If GBX isn't lying and they really have been working on this game for as long as they say they have then the game should be done by now.  It's not because they haven't been working on it and thats why they can't even produce screens that are in-game. 

At the end of the day, I still believe that this game will be canceled very soon.

I don't think sega even released avp in japan :/ be interesting to see if they do with this.

Finally some serious and nice post! I agree 100% Now everybody will say that we are trolls or haters or some..nah thats the truth about this game. 4 screens for 4 years what the hell...is it so hard to capture a damn video clip?
