The more we hear about Aliens: Colonial Marines (PC, 360, PS3), the more exciting it sounds for fans of the original films. Gearbox seems dedicated to staying faithful to the source material, and smartly expanding on it with a solid creative team. Four player co-op doesn't hurt, either. During the interview, Pitchford explained the lengths that his company went to in order to make their game feel like an authentic piece of the Aliens franchise. Randy Pitchford: One thing that's cool is some of the people we've been able to work with to help us [on Aliens]. The guys that write the Battlestar Galactica series, Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, they wrote our script. They're amazing guys. They gave us a lot, too. We could make a whole season of TV with the stuff they gave us. [laughs] We profited from the writer's strike, let's just put it that way. We talked with a lot of people, but those guys are so good. news Jul 23, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-172547.aspx Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, has explained why upcoming FPS Aliens: Colonial Marines wasn't shown at E3 this week, saying it was publisher SEGA's decision and had nothing to do with the current quality of the game. news Jul 19, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-154373.aspx Sega has unveiled their upcoming line-up through the first quarter of 2009. The biggest thing to mention here is a release date for Sonic the Hedgehog's next grand adventure, Sonic Unleashed. It'll be shipped to stores this November on the PS3, 360, Wii and PS2. Sonic Chronicles, the DS-only RPG being developed at BioWare, will arrive two months earlier in September. Other big names include Golden Axe Riders for the PS3/360 and a follow-up to 2005's Yakuza for the PS2, both due in September. Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines, a game we've seen nothing of since its announcement in February, will be out in the first quarter of next year. news Jun 6, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/news/sonic-unleashed-for-november-aliens-slips-to-09/a-20080606113032453043/g-20070604114510395087 Plus Yakuza 2, Space Siege, Madworld, Alpha Protocol news Jun 6, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-154218.aspx SEGA has today issued an updated release schedule which includes confirmation of the delayed release of two of its biggest titles for 2008.

This time it's war! preview Apr 18, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-123972.aspx 'Aliens : Colonial Marines' is coming to the next-gen platforms, but it's going to be a bit of a fair old wait until it's 2009 release. Plenty of time then for us to salivate over every little piece of information and drool over some rather glossy looking screenshots. Developed by FPS veterans Gearbox Studios, and published by SEGA - 'Aliens : Colonial Marines' is built on the almost industry standard Unreal Engine 3. This of course means it's all looking rather lovely so far, but then again - so did Turok and look what happened there! news Mar 16, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/news/aliens-colonial-marines-gameplay-info/a-20080311143729703071/g-20070604114510395087 Xenomorph-blasting update on Gearbox's exciting FPS tie-in news Mar 11, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/screenshots/g-20070604114510395087 screenshot Mar 6, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/screenshots/g-20070604114510395087 screenshot Mar 6, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/screenshots/g-20070604114510395087 screenshot Mar 6, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/news/first-proper-aliens-screens-emerge/a-20080306112236310072/g-20070604114510395087 Looks effing brilliant, too (thank you lord) news Mar 6, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-118080.aspx It's no mean feat powering up from being video game publisher No. 14 in 2004 to becoming the industry's sixth largest third-party publisher today. But Sega of America is tasting that success. Industry analysts credit its president and COO since 2005, Simon Jeffery, as the force behind the company's struggle to reinvent itself. In fact, come May 2, when the Marvel Enterprises-produced Iron Man blasts into movie theaters, Sega is counting on the day-and-date release of its video game version to inject even more life into what was once a very anemic portfolio. Historically, Sega hasn't been part of the license business, explains Jeffery. But we felt that in order to gain market momentum, we absolutely needed to have big game-appropriate movie licenses under our belt. news Mar 2, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-114032.aspx G4: This morning, Sega revealed many intriquing details about their upcoming squad-based FPS based on the Aliens movie series. news Feb 21, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/news/first-aliens-colonial-marines-info/a-2008022114526937051/g-20070604114510395087 Sega sticks a "late 2008" on Aliens: Colonial Marines news Feb 21, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/news/first-aliens-images-arise/a-2008022015342039009/g-20070604114510395087 Aliens: Colonial Marines looking amazing, even in sketchy scans news Feb 20, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/news/gearboxs-aliens-red-faction-3-info/a-20080214121243580017/g-20070604114510395087 No screens or real gameplay info yet though... news Feb 14, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/aliens-colonial-marines/news/gearbox-breaks-silence-on-alien-fps/a-20070604115925224090/g-20070604114510395087 Brief details spill from the mouth of Gearbox chief Randy Pitchford news Jun 4, 2007
