Marvelfangirl Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 This video shows the difference between the demo & the final product of Aliens:Colonial Marines. Talk about Bait & Switch Jeez The swinging light was one of the coolest uses of lighting in the demo. What the heck went wrong? From what I've heard from gamers is Time Gate did the demo. After Gearbox Software took over,they changed everything in the demo to the final product. I also heard that Gearbox used the funds from Sega to make Boarderland instead of Aliens:Colonial Marines. When Sega found out what they were doing with their funds,they were not happy and "cancelled" the Aliens game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Gearbox keeps picking up titles that have been in development hell for several years and outsourcing them, with mess results. It happened with Duke Nukem Forever, and now ACM. I have no idea why. They seem hell bent on destroying the good reputation they built up with Borderlands.

No kidding I was one of many Alien fans looking forward to ACM. To see Gearbox disrespect Aliens fans & gamers by making a krappy game is so not cool I'm not buying any games from them after what they did with ACM :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Sega found out what they were doing with their funds,they were not happy and "cancelled" the Aliens game. If Sega cancelled it then how did it still get released? This should answer your question big brother: Developmental Controversy In February of 2013, an anonymous whistle blower reported to Destructoid that Gearbox had been taking people and resources off Aliens: Colonial Marines to put them towards Borderlands, and yet was still collecting full payments from SEGA as if they were working on Aliens: Colonial Marines. When SEGA discovered this misconduct they canceled Colonial Marines, which led to the games protracted development; "At some point in 2008, SEGA temporarily pulled the plug on the game [...] They caught wind of Gearbox shifting resources despite still collecting milestone checks as if the team were full size and lying to SEGA AND 2K about the number of people working on each project. This led to the round of layoffs at Gearbox in late 2008."[41] The game drew additional controversy due to the fact that much of the games development was not made by Gearbox Software, but was in fact outsourced to other developers in order to compensate for mismanagement on behalf of Gearbox. While SEGA initially denied that any such outsourcing occurred, sources claimed that developers Demiurge Studios and Nerve Software were responsible for the game's downloadable content, while TimeGate Studios was responsible for the majority of the game's campaign, and were unable to create the planned Beta version on schedule despite the project's several delays. This supposedly caused the game to be rushed through redesigns, certification and shipping, despite being in a largely unfinished state.[42] That's why I put quotation marks on "Cancelled" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COI Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Is it just me or does SquareEnix release awesome games? People bash them because of the Final Fantasy XIII series (which I like), but they've done well with all of the Eidos properties they acquired (Deus Ex, Hitman, Tomb Raider). I'm a fan.

People didn't like final fantasy XIII? I thought they were pretty good. My favorite was X, then VII after that its pretty much par for the course.
