Gameinformer.com has a titbit more information on the development status of ACM, straight from the mouth of Randy Pitchford (Gearbox President). In an interview with GI he said: Randy Pitchford: “I'll tell you this: We love Aliens. You guys know that. You guys did a cover story, you know how much we care about it. We're working our butts off on it. I think when it comes, people won't be disappointed, but right now it's really not up to us to talk about it.” “I think Sega is really interested in everybody focusing on the AvP game they've got upcoming, so they're focusing all of their communication around that. And frankly, as an Aliens fan, I'm looking forward to that, too. We'll see when that comes,”. Its nice to hear how passionate Gearbox still are about their Aliens game, but really we need some new information ASAP. Its been an extremely long wait for many a Aliens fan, and although I can understand why Sega are focussing on their other Aliens game, AvP3 ...

AvPGalaxy.net , has some very cool new renders of the Colonial Marine weapons. They have two new renders of the M56A2 Smart Gun and one new one of the M41A Pulse Rifle with its grenade launcher sight flipped up. I added all the images to the photo album. Note the ammo readout on the magazine shield and the "Adios" motto on the Smart Gun body. Remind you of anyone from the movie?

There’s a very tiny video snippet with Randy Pitchford (CEO) and Brian Martel (Vice President) talking about Gearbox software and their games on GameSpot. In the clip, Randy mentions ACM, saying something along the lines of: Aliens its a dream. I cant remember how many times I watched ALIENS in college. Its action packed, its a shooter. You are a colonial marine fighting the xenos. Its classic, it’s the sequel we wished we got (it doesn't exist), but its in interactive form. The full 19 minute interview with Randy can be found over at Cbs11tv.com . Sadly there wasn’t much in that particular video interview about ACM. But its a cool watch if your interested in Borderlands or just Gearbox in general. Brian Martel talks a bit more about ACM in a separate video interview which can also be found at Cbs11tv.com. The ACM bit starts at around 9:00. Brian’s a pretty quick talker and I missed some of what he said the first time, so here’s a very quick ...

Randy Pitchford (President of Gearbox Software) is on this weeks GT Bonus Round panel, discussing game delays, which of course is relevant to us because of ACM’s delay due to Gearbox’s other game Borderlands and SEGA’s new AvP3 game. Its pretty interesting to watch, especially towards the end at around 8:35, when Randy mentions ACM and AVP. Having trouble embedding the video, but you can view it over at GameTrailers . I am glad Randy is keeping ACM somewhat in the limelight and not allowing it to be forgotten about by the gaming press. Hopefully it wont be long before SEGA allow them to start showing us something again.

In a meeting with Kotaku, the newly appointed SEGA west chief Mike Hayes said Gearbox Software’s Aliens game is still moving forward, confirming what Randy Pitchford (Gearbox President and CEO) has been saying previously. Here’s the fragment from the Kotaku article that talks about Aliens: Aliens is one of the murkier Sega topics. The company announced in 2006 that it would publish three games based on the famous chest-bursting movie monsters. Sega showed Aliens Vs. Predator at this event, demonstrating how games can play as a human marines or a Predator. Still under wraps is what playing like an Alien will be like. But this game wasn't expected to be the first Aliens game from Sega. That was going to be the Gearbox-developed Aliens: Colonial Marines shooter or the now-cancelled Obsidian-developed Aliens RPG. "The Gearbox project was moving along," Hayes said, recalling when the decision was made to take Colonial Marines out of the lead position. The game ...
