Top Ten Licenses Gearbox Software Could Acquire and Ruin

In the wake of Gearbox Software's acquisition of the Homeworld franchise following THQ's demise, many fans are wondering whether their beloved space RTS will suffer the same treatment/abuse endured by Aliens: Colonial Marines. In the spirit of this, check out some other properties (gaming and otherwise) that may be perfect fits for Gearbox's "hump 'em and dump 'em" procedure for licensed games.

Jesus people just cant let Aleins go. It really wasnt as bad as people say. Yes it was a call of duty clone set in aliens universe. I have playe d alot worse clones before. Gearbox greatest thing they have is Borderlands obviously & one of its greatest strengths is it doesnt take itself to seriously & jokes about things constantly. Had gearbox done that with aliens & throw jokes in the game people would have bitched about how they were making fun of aliens.

It's not just about the quality of the game. It's the fact that Gearbox farmed the project out to TimeGate, lied about it, charged full price for a piece of trash and still have yet to come forward with any semblance of truth about the whole affair. It's not a matter of production so much as it is culpability. That's why it shouldn't be let go.

Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.

doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality

FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.

I know it will never happen (for obvious story reasons that's happened) but I wish we could play the original Vault hunters again with new abilities you could choose to develop in a skill branch. Never really felt I could get behind most of them after the first game, especially move wise. Lilith's phase walk will always be the best to me.

Speaking of Lilith, I'm kind of wondering how they'll get around the whole Siren thing since they wrote themselves into a corner saying there's "only 6 Sirens in the entire universe" and now thanks to Borderlines 3 they apparently pass on their abilities meaning once we see each of 6 powers available that's it, no new brand new ones. I don't know why they don't just say there's more than 6 since all of them in the ENTIRE Universe just conveniently coming to Pandora is a bit strange.

That's super easy to get around. Each person that has the skill could have their own personal spin on it. There could be a new power that morphs them into something else. One of the weapon manufacturers could experiment on 5 of the Sirens and the 6th would have to fight a horde of siren powered bad guys to rescue the others. Fiction has been there and done that with power more complex or simple thousands of times before.

As for revisting the first game? That would be totally unlike the gaming industry to reboot a series...
