Randy Pitchford Talks Aliens: Colonial Marines

[BlackWatch]

Computers and Video Games recently got to talk with Gearbox head honcho Randy Pitchford regarding the still-in-development console game Aliens: Colonial Marines. Here's the goods:

"I know that there hasn't been much talk about what we're doing for awhile and that more details would be very juicy. Like so many people, I've been patient for years to finally be able to play this game and now that I'm actually involved in the creation of it I can tell you that it's extremely challenging to continue to be patient as it develops."

"I want to tell all! But I can't. But I can say that we are working hard and that there are great things afoot and I know that when the time is right, Sega will be excited to share more details about the game. Until that time, I guess the only thing anyone can do is just keep pressuring Gearbox and Sega to spill more beans. Maybe one of us will eventually crack."

"I love Aliens and I love Gearbox Software's Aliens: Colonial Marines. I am extremely committed to the game and I'm very confident in Sega's commitment to the Aliens brand and to our game."
 
"I can imagine that there are a LOT of Aliens fans out there just like me that feel we've been waiting for our true Aliens game since we first saw the film and now that we know it's in development, we want it NOW!"

Good to know the game is still on track and still in development. As a big fan of the Brothers in Arms series I'm really excited about Gearbox developing this title.

A big thanks to Mother over at Aliens: Colonial Marines and armless_man here in the forums for the heads up.

Good to know it exists.

I may be wrong but I seem to recall seeing that exact interview shortly after the Jace Hall footage was leaked, which, of course, was before Sega announced they were pulling Gearbox's funding.

Maybe Randy's just taken to repeating himself? I'll try and see if I can find where I originally read the interview.
