Late Friday, reports came out of Gearbox Software that several employees had been laid off and their upcoming shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines had been cancelled. Well, it seems the layoffs did happen but the game is still alive.
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.
They better net cancel this game. I will be so devastated if they did.
Thank you god, i loved AVP2 the video games, playing as Marines in that was awesome, and i know im going to enjoy Colonial Marines..
Brothers in Arms was garbage. I did see footage of the Aliens game though, and it actually looked next gen. I dont know how they messed up so bad with BIA? Its sad really.
ASAP!!!!!
I hope that neither Aliens or Borderlands get canceled
