Recently, it was reported, via Neogaf, that the upcoming Gearbox title (creators of Borderlands), Aliens: Colonial Marines, would be missing the 2011 mark. Fear not xenomorph fans, the game is still set for release sometime this year, according to Gearbox’s head, Randy Pitchford, who states:
“I haven’t seen the issue of Edge that the NeoGAF story is referencing or what was printed, but I am certain that I haven’t discussed anything specific regarding Aliens: Colonial Marines with anyone beyond emphasising how passionate I am about the title and how committed my studio and I are to making it great.”
The saying goes, don’t believe everything you read in messageboards. Pitchford goes on to state:
“It looks to me like whomever made that post on NeoGAF made an interpretation that could be misleading or inaccurate. I am excited that there is so much interest in the game that stories like this tend to pop up literally out of nowhere and from nothing,” he continued, “and I am looking forward to talking more about Aliens: Colonial Marines very soon so that speculation and arbitrariness can be replaced with tangible, reliable and accurate information.”
Aliens: Colonial Marines is set to take on a survival horror style, which makes sense for a game about surviving hordes of xenomorphs. With Dead Space 2, Silent Hill: Downpour, Resident Evil: Revelations, and now, Colonial Marines, it looks like 2011 is going to be a good year for horror gaming.
