This December marks the sixth year that Aliens: Colonial Marines has been in development.
That’s 2191 days or 52,595 hours that Gearbox Software has been working on bridging the canonical gap between Aliens and Aliens 3 with players cast as kick-ass space marines sent in to answer the U.S.S. Sulaco’s distress signal and in turn learn what the hell has gone wrong on LV-426. That’s an awfully long time for any development team to “stay frosty”.
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.
