Aliens: Colonial Marines Cost Gearbox CEO $10-15 Million Dollars

, , , , , , 0

Easily, one of the more recent controversial and disappointing game titles of this decade was 2013’s Aliens: Colonial Marines, which had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the game completely stunk, as stated by both reviewers and gamers alike. Talking with IGN, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford noted that he lost $10-15 million dollars on the project. Pitchford claimed he still doesn’t know how it all went wrong. “I don’t know,” he begins when asked what happened. Pitchford continued: “We made an Aliens game. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything in the world. I got to, the team and us, we got to rebuild the Sulaco. We got to work with Syd Mead to do that. We got to build all of Hadley’s Hope, not just the few hallways of the colony that you see in the film. We built power loaders and APCs and dropships. Holy crap, we went out to The Derelict! I’m just so glad that I got the opportunity to spend time in that space. I understand that there’s some people

Randy Pitchford Defends Aliens: CM, Claims It Was “Intent To Entertain” And Not Exploitation, Then Blames You For Not Understanding

There’s no denying that Aliens: Colonial Marines was a hot mess of a flop. From setting high expectations with an E3 demo showing, to literally scrapping everything about that demo and replacing it with a substandard product, it truly was a big let down for a title that claimed it would improve the overall Aliens canon. Now we thought that eventually we would hear what really happened, but of course no apology or explanation was forthcoming from either SEGA or Gearbox. And speaking about Gearbox, it’s very own head, Randy Pitchford, took to Twitter today to defend the title by saying it’s intent was to entertain and while that may be true from the creative standpoint, it certainly didn’t feel that way for the majority of players. Linking to an article concerning tricks played on consumers with F2P titles, fans were quick to point out the trickery that was used with Aliens: Colonial Marines to get people to buy it.     Of course it doesn’t stop there.

Review: Aliens: Colonial Marines – Why Randy? WHY?

Six years have come and passed since the sudden announcement of  Aliens: Colonial Marines, a game enthusiastically advertised as set to fix all the wrongs of Alien 3 and answer many of the unresolved plot threads in the franchise. As a longtime fan of the films, this announcement had me filled with extreme excitement. While I did have some initial fears that A:CM would be yet another terrible film based game, a “gameplay” demo shown at the E3 2011 event quickly vanquished those thoughts and left me to craving more. However, upon release, the supposed finished product wasn’t even a work in progress compared to that E3 2011 demo but rather it was a work in regress.

It seems Gearbox and Sega have decided to give every Aliens fan out there an early Christmas present in to form of a bunch of new Colonial Marines footage and info! Speaking personally as a fan who has been waiting his whole life for an Aliens experience like this one, February simply can’t come quickly enough. Lets just hope the impending apocalypse doesn’t get in the way! httpv://youtu.be/BNXF40SdJow httpv://youtu.be/gHTWnmIfb9Q httpv://youtu.be/3R8rek4WU1s

In this latest trailer for Gearbox’s love letter to James Cameron is plenty of info on both the Marines and Aliens. We see plenty of great multiplayer shots and even some concept art of brand new Xenos. If you watch carefully you may even spot an acid spitting variant with a cool looking head crest. Check out the trailer below. httpv://youtu.be/pVkhNpo2pmU

Here we have a pretty cool developer diary of sorts going into quite a bit of detail on how Gearbox plans to deliver an authentic Aliens experience to the fans. It’s pretty cool, but I can’t help feel like the game’s prominent multiplayer wont be authentic without playable females, a subject that this video sadly ignores. Anyways, check out the trailer below. httpv://youtu.be/nasEF-z0q0k
