A CMs delayed till 2013....

As if we didn`t know it would be delayed again....


Aliens: Colonial Marines delayed to 2013, new trailer released • News • Eurogamer.net


New trailer as well. Much better voice acting and vis quality. Hopefully they add a 1st pov capability to the Alien playable character.

"I am thrilled to announce the definitive launch date for Aliens: Colonial Marines," Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford said.

Tee hee.

Hopefully they add a 1st pov capability to the Alien playable character.

Hopefully they don't. If they haven't already done it that way then that would probably add another 2 years' development time.

At this rate the game's going to come out on all the current generation systems a few weeks before the next generation systems come out.

Hey we waited this long. I don`t mind the extra wait. I myself don`t ever play as an alien in MP, I want the added 1st pov for players who DO play as the Alien, and prefer not to be forced to play in asscam view.

Man, I'm fed up with this happening... I actually am surprised because it seemed like it was legitimately coming out this time, even EB games had it in the "coming soon" section and everything. But whatever.

This game better be fucking brilliant, that's all I can say.

Gotta admit, it sure does look sweet.

I'm telling you guys, it's either vapourware or it's a rubber dog turd that'll be kicked out the door as soon as the publisher sees a gap in the release schedules. This game will have been in development hell for 12 years when if it comes out in 2013. I hate to be all doom and gloom, but the chances of it being any good are minuscule.

And I'm still freaking excited about it and will probably pre-order it, which makes me twice as stupid!!

[Eldritch]

Hahaha!

I am not surprised

Still looks like crap though.

I'm feeling much the same at the moment. I'll probably enjoy it, because it looks like it's true to the feeling of the movies, and I am more of a movie fan than a game fan. Whether it's any cop as a game we'll find out. The last AvP game was the first game I played when I got a PS3, and I enjoyed that. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it quite so much had I played Resistance and the first Modern Warfare game first rather than after.

Right now I'm just worried the PS3 will develop the yellow light of death before I get to play this game...

Trailer does look great. I like how vicious the Aliens look.

I'm curious if one of the reasons for this latest delay is for adding higher texture quality, because I've seen a lot of complaints about the game's dated-looking textures around the net.

[Shataan]

I am with nemarsde more or less.

I think these Aliens are visually the best ever done. Just my ops.

[PsyKore]

The deal breaker for me will be if it's overly scripted. It can be linear, I can forgive that if the game is still FUN, but the AI dynamics and tactical aspect for players needs to be free and non-scripted. If gearbox can provide this, I think it can be awesome.

[Shataan]

I really hate A.I. that has crap pathfinding and constantly runs across
my pov. Hoping they dont annoy in this game. This is why I prefer no a.i. squad mates.

[Acid Glow]

I need to see the Alien POV and see how they control from the player. And I want to know how the melee combat is in this game. i sure hope it's not a game full of 'quick time events '... I can wait for more footage before I make up my mind.
