Gameplayer - The Secret E3 Announcements you Didn't Know About (page 3)

"Gearbox Software has trademarked the name Pandora for the planet used in the game Borderlands. Problem is, James Cameron’s Avatar also includes a planet called Pandora. I got chatting with the charismatic Randy Pitchford – nice bloke – about whether or not he was going to tell Mr. Cameron where to go. He pointed out it was a delicate situation as they need to work with the famous director on Aliens: Colonial Marines – so it looks like if anyone changes, it will be poor old Borderlands (which looked a treat btw.)"

'Pandora' was also used as the name of the base in Rebellion's earlier AvP game.

Nice find Sinister!

What kinda of positivies specifically do you guys reckon Cameron could bring to A:CM if this rumour is true?

I'm guessing given how Gearbox loves to be authentic, he could possibly help in terms of environment/character designs.

I would love for some unique, interesting characters. Characters with back stories are much more fun to play/play with.

I always liked my characters that I play to be almost anonmous. Cause I find it easier to feel like I am that character. Easier to immerse.

Cameron working with the game?

If true, this is turning out to be the paramount Aliens "game of the film" apart from the names and setting.

Been a while coming.

Fair play, faddy as it might be though, i like how attached to charecters you can be in the Modern Warfare's.

-edit- christ wait, this was from June last year?

Cameron on Aliens:CM? Fuck! We will all need $5000 computers to run it.

LOL, and ugly 3D glasses too

If Cameron is helping out with Aliens: CM, I think I might shit my pants.

I don't believe there is an Aliens: CM anymore.

Aliens: Colonial Marines, still needs hard hats worn in the area

Last thing i read about it.

Cutter Zane · 03-01-2010, 09:48 AM

In an article over at Kotaku.com today, Randy Pitchford is quoted as saying that development on Colonial Marines is in full swing again now that Borderlands is moreorless done and dusted.

Destructoid - Gearbox 'really working on' Aliens: Colonial Marines

PsyKore · 03-02-2010, 02:24 AM

Wonder how close it is to being finished. I'm sick of being teased by it... dangling the proverbial carrot in front of us. Bastards.

Uh, I mean, I look forward to it.

No, that accolade clearly goes to Konami's old Aliens coin-op:

It's like you're right there in the movie!

On topic; I haven't really heard much about A:CM (been out of the loop for a long while), but from what I was reading on Wiki earlier it sounds like it'll be a lot like EA's Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels, which IMO is no bad thing. There's only one thing I'd really like to be included (though I doubt it will, and it'll be a major missed opportunity); and that is a sequence which requires you to go tear-arsing about in the APC, perhaps taking advantage of the character-switching dynamic to let you choose whether to drive or take control of the gun turret.
