"We'll have more news on the other games in the future."

The future?! But that won't happen until after the present!

Man, what is going on with Colonial Marines? This game should not be taking this long, I'm starting to get nervous about this game.

I sure hope the Brothers in Arms game didn't hurt its chances of seeing the light of day.

Joystiq, will you please scan the interwebs, flush out the sources, and pay off the tipsters to find out what is going on?

Hopefully it's a strategic marketing/release delay and SEGA doesn't want to blow it's Aliens wad on two average games. If Colonial Marines gets the extra time for COD4 level polish, well I'm happy to wait.

Why is a game series that was designed, and quite successful on the PC going to console only >:( Better, i guess, then PC getting a half-asses consoleized piece of shit port ala F.E.A.R. 2.

Guess they believe that A) It's where the money is at and B) Less chance of it being pirated.

Less chance of it being pirated.....because it's on a console?

I beg to differ.

Not everyone's consoles are modded while everyone's PC is essentially ready to pirate out-of-box.

Im so sick of this piracy argument, truth is no matter what the game is going to get pirated, same thing back in the day with AvP and AvP2. You make a good game and dont treat your players like thieves and it will sell, like Oblivion, Sins of a Solar Empire, Ect. You put in a restrictive DRM or make a half asses port thats not worth the asking price more people are going to pirate it.

You give pirate's too much credit. People who pirate don't have moral codes. They're not just going to stop pirating just because you take out drm or make the gamer "better". They'll just do it more. It's the way the world works.

@ McWilly
Yeah thats why i said no matter what the game is going to get pirated, but if you do things right those that are otherwise on the fence can be swayed to do the right thing and buy the game. Then you also have people that specifically pirate the game because of restrictive DRM (i know of at least a half a dozen people who did this with Spore and Bioshock).

The original AvsP was on the Atari Jaguar. ;)

Anyhoo, Rebellion's 1999 PC AvsP was sweet. This might be the version to get if you want single-player, since Colonial Marines is shaping up as a Left 4 Dead Clone.

This is some bitter sweet news... My most anticipated game of 2009 is now off the 'motion scanner' (A:CM), but now I get another game based on the phenomenal franchise.

It better be good. Because if they're doing one console now and PS3 later, if it sucks, might as well cancel the PS3 one to save some money. I always loved this series, I'll be waiting...

Goddammit. I wanted to be PLAYING Aliens: Colonial Marines already. I loved Aliens vs Predator, but I'm just fine with keeping the franchises separate. I just want another Aliens game sometime within the decade.

AvP and AvP2 were amazing FPS games. If they can remake/recreate that, I'm sold.

So okay. I've been wanting Aliens: Colonial Marines for a long-ass time now and hoping against hope that it's actually decent.

Now with the whole Predator mix into things, I'm super tweeked.

Here's all I'd have to say about it as a fan of both franchises:

Sure, it'd be fun to play as a Predator hunting down Aliens, but PLEASE let the Predator hunt humans too. Please.

In fact, my dream Predator game would be playing as Dutch from the first film with your squad, hunting down the lone Predator. At the end of the game, you can unlock an ability to alternately play as the Predator and hunt the team down.

Give it all to me on the COD4 engine and I won't be playing much else afterward for a LOOONG time.

But what do you do in the meantime while you aren't encountering the Predator? I guess you could shoot up those baddie soldiers (if you're talking about the Predator 1 setting).

Great to see no PC version,

Its about time PC gaming was left to rot,


All the consoles makers and developers have to do is agree on a standard WSAD movement pad and mouse type arrangment for there games and bingo. But thats another topic

Hopefully AvsP will work out good top game from years back.

Man, can you imagine how good this game could be.

To have FPS "horde" mode where you and your team mates need to battle off the alien hive just like in "Aliens" would be amazing beyond belief. Different marine classes, so certain ones can set-up sentry guns, droids that can hack into computers to close doors to strategiclly set-up ambush points. If they could also adpot the "director" programming from "left 4 dead" so no game was the same. Man, the possibilities are endless.

Then you could have normal deathmatch options of the Marines vs Preds vs Aliens.

If SEGA and rebellion pull this off right, the could be onto the huge money maker.

F you Sega, F you in the A...You jackasses. Aliens:CM was supposed to be out a long damn time ago!! So we finally see pics thanks to the GameInformer magazine, and we read it will be soon that we will be able to play it...and now all of a sudden because of a damn game thats not even supposed to come out till 2010 you want to push back Aliens:CM?!?! You are idiots!! How long are you going to make us wait! This is why you idiots had to give up on making video game systems, cause you suck! Instead of releasing another damn hedgehog title, how about you give us Aliens:CM...I can only freakin hope you morons know what your doing and it wil hopefully be good. What fools man, the AvP movies suck, well the 1st one wasnt as bad as the 2nd...what makes you think a game wil be better?!?!

Wow. They are bringing back AvP and AvP2? It's already on the PC. You could basically run it on the regular Xbox with the graphics it has. Plus it is proven fact they have given up on AvP and AvP2 along with the 21 servers that are being shut down for the game.

Another thing. What's going to make it any better on any console system? It doesn't. It is all the same, and soon enough, Sierra will eventually see that,"It's getting old, It's time to move on" and develop no more patches for it. Everybody will be glitching, Walls will be shooting, Aliens will jump into the walls and attack from outside, Grenade hacks, 2,000 plasma shots a second, Marines jumping like the aliens, Predators walking the walls, Aliens on the Marines teams, Marines on the Aliens team, Predators on the Aliens team, Predators on the Marines team, Invincible Players, Flying, 1 Man Siege AKA "Wall Glitching In The Other Teams Spawn Area", Extreme Speed Glitches, you name it. It has happened and I do speak the truth when Joining a server that NEARLY lagged out from some moron on the predator team that fired a "Unimaginable" amount of plasma from his weapon at a "Wide" Radius, topping all that, my speakers almost busted from the combined sound of all that exploding at once. My volume at that time was up a quarter and a half and the speakers rattled like a mother f***er. So, Who do you think is going to patch that sh*t? Sure is not going to be them because they already got their moneys worth of the game. Go here to find out the sad news with AvP2 Multiplayer (http://forumplanet.gamespy.com/community/b49024/19921463/p1/)
