Aliens Colonial Marines still alive, Gearbox provides visual evidence

aliensa

Aliens: Colonial Marines’ release hinges on Aliens vs. Predator, says Sega

aliensvspred1b

Speaking with G4, Sega president and COO Mike Hayes said that Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines is still on track to be released… someday. The “when” of that alien bursting from Sega’s chest hinges on the success of Rebellion’s Aliens vs. Predator, Hayes said.

“I think the detail of that [release date] is probably still too early,” he said. “What I would say is it’s unlikely that we’d launch anything within six months [after Aliens vs. Predator], but probably nine months, eight to 12 months possibly. Though we literally are looking at that at the moment and a lot of is going to depend, as well, on how successful AvP is at the box [retail].”

“It’s what level of ‘well’ does it do,” said Hayes, speaking of Aliens vs. Predator’s release, “do we then determine when we want to bring the next one out and then, of course, determine what the third one in the series is likely to be.”

Yes, that does mean there will eventually be a third Aliens game.

Gearbox: “Great things afoot” for Aliens: Colonial Marines

aliensa

If you’re bored of waiting for news of Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines, fret not – it’s going to be awesome.

“I want to tell all,” studio boss Randy Pitchford told CVG. “But I can’t.”

Goshdarnit. What can you say, Randy?

“I can say that we are working hard and that there are great things afoot and I know that when the time is right, Sega will be excited to share more details about the game,” he added.

“Until that time, I guess the only thing anyone can do is just keep pressuring Gearbox and Sega to spill more beans. Maybe one of us will eventually crack.”

The game was recently pushed into 2010. Hit the CVG link for more evasion.
