Oop’s, I see using clipboard is unnecessary (assuming my message passes moderation) as URL is turned into link, i.e. just click link and follow instructions (if necessary).

Thanks for the compliments. The game continues to keep looking (and playing) better. One of the challenges when making a game is balancing the amount of detail, number of enemies, framerate, etc… If you ask the artists, they definitely want to make sure every little item has a ton of detail. But if we did that then something else would pay the price. Don’t get me wrong, what you are seeing is still pre-alpha game play which means it isn’t locked down. I hope we continue to improve all parts of the game. But at the same time we are committed to this ship date so we need to start wrapping things up. We’ll be releasing more content in the future, and hopefully you’ll continue to see improvements.

this game looks so much better then the in game footage you did a couple of months ago, the aliens look so much more realistic and more like in the movie!! thanks for the delay so you could make it look better and man does it look fantastic!! Although i did notice that first person view when looking at your hands and things like detonation device, it didn’t seem like there was much detail like scratches or anything. Are you going to try to put more detail in that area before the games done? other wise everything else looks fantastic.

P.S cant wait to see Prometheus!!!!!!!!!

Also, just so everyone knows, I’m not beating up on the developer, this so called release date is just another in a long line of marketing bull spewed forth by Gearbox and Sega.

Back on January 26, 2012.

“Gamers hoping to play Aliens: Colonial Marines in spring 2012 won’t have that opportunity. In a statement provided to the GameStop-owned Game Informer magazine, Sega and Gearbox Software revealed that the sci-fi first-person shooter has been delayed to fall 2012.”

Coming spring, 2012, no check that, fall 2012, no check that, early 2013 and we even have a date now. Oh, brother, (rolls eyes). Wake me when this game comes out, if ever. Who wants to take bets on the feb 12th date?

Confirmed for February 12, 2013 and you think anyone’s buying that? This game has been in development hell for ages.

Unfortunately, I don’t know what the plans are for the Yakuza series. I have enjoyed playing the games but I’m not privy to the future on those games.

You bet, everyone on the team is a big fan of Aliens. It is pretty cool to be working on game based in the universe of an awesome film such as Aliens. Working with Syd Mead and FOX on telling the continuing story of the Aliens universe. Going back to LV-426 and exploring places that have only been seen in the movies. Good stuff indeed.
