Ontwikkelaar Gearbox heeft bekend kunnen maken dat het langverwachte en aankomende Aliens: Colonial Marines niet wederom vertraagd is. Gisteren dook er namelijk op de website Destructoid een verhaal op waarin vermeld werd dat Gearbox zeker nog niet zal komen met Aliens: Colonial Marines tot volgend jaar. Klinkklare onzin, als je het Gearbox vraagt:
“I haven’t seen the issue of Edge [sic] that the NeoGAF story is referencing or what was printed, but I am certain that I haven’t discussed anything specific regarding Aliens: Colonial Marines with anyone beyond emphasising how passionate I am about the title and how committed my studio and I are to making it great.It looks to me like whomever made that post on NeoGAF made an interpretation that could be misleading or inaccurate.
I am excited that there is so much interest in the game that stories like this tend to pop up literally out of nowhere and from nothing and I am looking forward to talking more about Aliens: Colonial Marines very soon so that speculation and arbitrariness can be replaced with tangible, reliable and accurate information.”
Hetzelfde verhaal van Destructoid vermeldde tevens dat Gearbox zich op dit moment richt op de ontwikkeling van Borderlands 2. Gearbox wist dit wederom te ontkennen.
“I respect Jim [Sterling, Destructoid journalist] and his audience and I’m a little surprised he didn’t bother to try to e-mail myself or our folks before extrapolating that NeoGAF post even further. Jim even referenced Borderlands 2? What’s Borderlands 2? Bah! And El Oh El!”
