SEGA on Aliens Colonial Marines Status

[Dec 20, 2010, 11:37 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

SEGAbits has a recent excerpt from Game Informer Magazine where SEGA's Alan Pritchard talks about plans for Aliens Colonial Marines, the upcoming Aliens shooter in the works at Gearbox Software. Pritchard explains why they've been so quiet about this project, but that they plan on telling us more soon (thanks Ant via IGN). Here's word:

Colonial Marines is still on. We've been working closely with Gearbox behind the scenes, and we'll be able to tell you a lot about that in the next couple of months. It won't be November 11 [as previously reported]. We haven't announced a date yet. This was kind of a pick up for us, with Activision acquiring Vivendi and us having the Aliens license. With the state of the code available to us with Aliens vs. Predator from Rebellion, that kind of forces us to slightly alter our Aliens roadmap and strategy. It made sense to release that first.

I only played the AvP reboot for a week, the gameplay felt unfinished and had less features than the previous games. I like the work Gearbox did on Gears of War. I'm very curious to see if it is better than AvP.
