Alien RPG Still Gestating, To Burst Forth At Undetermined Time
Despite the fact that the Alien and Predator franchises have been plagued by uninspired andpoorly executed films, the true potential of the series have been realized in a handful of exceedingly well-crafted video games. SEGA was stepping up with the noble intent of taking the bad taste of AVP: Requiem out of our mouths with a trio of titles.
Reports from SEGA suggested that Gearbox’s Colonial Marines and Obsidian’s as yet untitled Alien RPG were placed on indefinite hold in February, but it seems that hope might not be so grim. The newest Alien vs Predator game was the only title of the three to be shown at E3 this year, but reportedly that’s only because it’s the first title to be released and more news regarding the other two games will be forthcoming.
This is definitely some good news for Alien fans as Colonial Marines looked like a stunning game and the prospect of an Alien game that isn’t an FPS is quite exciting.
