''Development hell is a term be used in relation to many things. Films, TV, music and video games. Aliens: Colonial Marines is the best example of development hell. The end product was the purest example of how much of a toll it can take.''
Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.
The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.
The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Player 2 takes some quiet time to look back at some of the most hyped failures of the past 10 years.
Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.
Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.
Thanks to a bustling mod community on Steam, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines actually has a stellar multiplayer experience to offer these days.
I think I bought this for like $2 online.
I enjoyed the multiplayer, despite its problems.
I remember this game. It wasn't half of what I thought it was going to be x)
does anyone know what happend with the class action lawsuit that was made against this game?
