Sega Looking for New Developer for ACM


http://weblogs.variety.com/the_cut_scene/2009/02/segas-aliens-games-ar e-not-cancelled-may-get-new-developers.html


Variety.com has just posted up a new article stating that Colonial Marines isn't cancelled but maybe seeing release under a new developer:

"However, I've just spoken to a source in a very good position to know what's up with both games who told me that they're definitely not canceled. Production is expected to continue and the games, both of which are well into development, will come out. But quite possibly not with the developers they're at. "

This collaborates the information from VARIOUS sources. On other Alien gaming news, The RPG isn't being canned. It is merely postponed while Obsidian concentrate their work on Alpha Protocol (the other Sega game they are working on). It is Colonial Marines that is in danger of changing hands. As you may have all read in various other articles, Sega is "reviewing" the quality of the game and my source is saying that Sega aren't too keen on what they see.

Why Sega didn't just let Rebellion make it, I'll never know. AvP may not have been a great game but the developers at least put their heart & soul into it. It looks & plays much better than this travesty of a game. Plus they could've taken what they learned from AvP & built upon it in A:CM. Instead Randy Pitchfraud got Sega to write a blank cheque & used the money to make Borderlands 2, then outsourced the SP campaign to a couple of 'nobody' studios.

This is the future of the gaming industry people. Enjoy what's left of it, for as long as it lasts.

Rebellion did the original 1999 AvP game and it was amazing. If I recall, Sega rushed the 2010 AvP game. Which is why it isn't as good as it could have been. But as you said, still better than A:CM
