Aliens Colonial Marines Delayed Until Fall 2012

Posted on: Thursday, January 26th, 2012

GameInformer received an official statement from Sega today about the delay of the Aliens Colonial Marines title until this fall. Originally Aliens Colonial Marines was scheduled for a Spring 2012 release date, but unfortunately things don’t always go as planned, especially with game developing. Here’s the statement sent to GameInformer from Sega today:

“Aliens: Colonial Marines is a process of creativity and invention and those don’t necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line,” SEGA and Gearbox Software said in a statement sent to Game Informer.

“While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don’t want to sacrifice the creative process just for the sake of following a blue print. We prefer to have the creative discovery shape that blue print because our goal is to make a great game, and we are prioritizing this goal over the previously targeted date.”

Not too disappointed about this news to be honest, I think I speak for many when I say I would rather wait an extra couple of months and have a masterpiece than wrap up development too early and end up with an un-polished product which only barely satisfies.

In related news our friends over at AvPGalaxy got the scoop on a new Aliens Colonial Marines trailer set to air tomorrow on IGN! Along with the update, a new screen cap was released for the game. (seen above)

Colonial Marines Respects The Alien Legacy

Posted on: Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Aliens Colonial Marines, first person shooter developed by Gearbox Software and Sega, ships out on all gaming platforms spring of 2012. Many have wondered if Colonial Marines will deliver as a true ‘Aliens’ game. With this latest interview with Randy Pitchford (CEO of Gearbox) and CVG, Aliens CM looks very promising.

For starters, Gearbox has hired on concept artist Syd Mead who originally worked on the Aliens film with James Cameron. Mead is apparently adding alot to Colonial Marines that he didn’t have time for in Aliens due to time restrictions and cuts.

“He designed the Colonial Marines’ spacecraft, the Sulaco,” says Pitchford, “Plus the Hadley’s Hope colony and so many other things from the Aliens film. He had a lot of content that was never used in the film, since they only built sets out of a few of the rooms.” [- CVG]

On top of an authentic concept artist, Gearbox also has hired writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle who worked on the Battlestar Galactica remake. So, that being said, we can expect an incredible storyline to Aliens Colonial Marines, with the original ‘look’ and ’feel ‘ of the films.

Aliens Colonial Marines is turning out to be exactly what the franchise needs in terms of an authentic game.
