If you guys remember a while back, Game Informer had a big old article talking about Aliens Colonial Marines. The features sounded awesome: co-op tactical squad play set in the Aliens universe complete with the guns, gadgets, and tensity. But then we heard back in 2008 from Gearbox and Sega that the game was delayed and gamers and fans of the movie all went "Awwwwwww :(".
But then.....
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.
GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER
THIS GAME IS ON AN EXPRESS ELEVATOR TO HELL. GOING DOWN
honestly though, hope its a good game.
