Our own editor-in-chief has pointed out a rather dismal irony —Aliens: Colonial Marineshas become the newDuke Nukem Forever, despite being developed by the guys who broughtDukeback. Gearbox Software boss Randy Pitchford has said that the game won’t be out in 2011. At this rate, we’ll be lucky to ever see it.
The game wasfirst plannedfor a 2009 release, but we’ve seen a tiny sliver of screens and nothing else since then. The game’s been pushed back while Gearbox bumps it down in favor ofBorderlands 2andDuke Nukem Forever, and this latest pretty much confirms that the game is the lowest priority for the studio.
I was excited for the game when it was first announced, but I think I’m going to stop caring. Even if it everdoesget released, a game with nothing to say for itself after almost three years is rarely ever very good. I’m one of the biggestAliensfans you could find in games media, and I’m done with this.
