I'm all for low expectations
but honestly, if the models are the biggest problem with the game, we'll have a huge success. I really liked the AvP 2010 models, despite them not being Aliens-like, but the rest of the game failed enough to kill it. Do we even get to see an alien tail in Aliens? I cant remember one, just the Parker-smacking, Lambert-raping Kane's son tail from Alien, tee hee.
I don't know how much control SEGA has, I guess I should do some more research. I dislike them as much as anybody, but how many times can they dick up the same product before Fox doesnt allow them to license it anymore? The business side of things has to matter, they dont have endless $$. If this game fails, it won't be Gearbox's fault becuase so far they've made great games. It doesn't add up.
