3D Realms' Cancelled Aliens Shooter Plans

This tweet and this one from Frederik Schreiber are replies to Cliff Bleszinski's recent tweets about the Aliens shooter plans Boss Key was negotiating before the Fox/Disney deal ended the plan (thanks VG247). Word is that 3D Realms was also in discussions to create a new shooter based on the film series before the Disney deal killed the plan:
This is crazy... we were in the talk about the exact same thing. New Aliens FPS, taking place at Hadleys Hope (4-player coop). Almost went through.

Happened right around the time at the Disney acquisition, and when that happened, it all fell to the ground.

Yup. Game was called Aliens: Hadleys Hope. We went quite far into pre-production before the Disney/Fox acquisition, and then we had to cancel it, and move on with something else.

Maybe some day! I bet yours was very different than ours?
