Playnews – an independent news agency that focuses on the games industry – has informed us about an interesting statement from SEGA’s senior producer, Matthew J. Powers. According to the news, Aliens: Colonial Marines primary development has not been outsourced to TimeGate and Gearbox Software was not responsible just for the game’s multiplayer, Sega of America’s Senior Producer Matthew J. Powers confirmed to Playnews on Tuesday. Continue reading SEGA: Aliens: Colonial Marines SP was not outsourced to TimeGate Studios→
Back when Gearbox revealed the first gameplay footage of Aliens: Colonial Marines, I was a bit sceptic about it. The AI of Aliens looked horrible, there were lots of uninspired scripted events (and not in the same level with – let’s say – those of AVP2) and the graphics were average at best. Of course Gearbox stated back then that it was beta footage, but we all know that – in this time of age – beta footage equals to almost final footage. Fast forward a couple of months and here we are with an Aliens game that looks like a failure.

Award-winning film and video game composer Kevin Riepl (Silent Night, ABCs of Death, The Aggression Scale, Gears of War, Resistance: Burning Skies) has created an original symphonic score for the highly anticipated blockbuster Aliens: Colonial Marines video game, launching worldwide on February 12, 2013. Developed by critically acclaimed studio Gearbox Software in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox, Aliens: Colonial Marines is the authentic addition to the ALIENS canon, bringing new levels of bone-chilling suspense and adrenaline-filled action to the renowned franchise.

SEGA has released a new trailer for Gearbox’s upcoming Aliens game, Aliens: Colonial Marines. This trailer focuses on the game’s story and showcases how badass marines can actually be. It looks cool, though we kind of wonder whether acid will be as deadly as it was in all previous games (especially since there are a lot of QTE in which we can almost taste the acid blood of the aliens). Aliens: Colonial Marines is planned for a February 12th release on PC, X360 and PS3. Enjoy! Continue reading Aliens: Colonial Marines – Kick Ass trailer→
Man, what an exciting afternoon it was. Yes, unfortunately THQ has been shut down and it’s really sad witnessing such a publisher going down. However, most of the company’s assets have been succesfully acquired by other companies, so there is nothing to worry about. Unless of course you’re interested in a new Darksiders 2 as Vigil Games was not sold to anyone and if THQ does not find a seller in the coming months, the studio will most probably close. Continue reading THQ Closes, SEGA Acquires Relic, Koch Media Gets Volition, Vigil Games Goes Down→
SEGA announced that the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will feature characters from acclaimed developer Valve allowing players to race for first place as the Pyro, Heavy and Spy from Team Fortress 2. Available for PC digital download on January 31, 2013 Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will also feature two other new and exclusive characters all of whom are available to play as from the start of the game.

SEGA and Gearbox today unveiled the official PC system requirements for their upcoming aliens game, Aliens: Colonial Marines. According to the publisher and the developer, PC gamers will at least need a dual-core CPU with 2GB of RAM and 20GB of free hard disk space. Quite surprisingly – and contrary to Aliens vs Predator – Aliens: Colonial Marines won’t support any DX11 features, as it seems that it is a DX9-only game. Otherwise, Windows XP would not be included in the Recommended specs. Here is hoping that Gearbox will surprise us. The good news here is that the game also supports Windows XP. Aliens: Colonial Marines is planned for a February 12th release on PC, X360 and PS3, and you can view its PC system requirements – as well as a new TV commercial for it – below! Continue reading Aliens: Colonial Marines – PC System Requirements Revealed + New Trailer→
Okay Sonic fans, get ready for a nice surprise. We’ve seen in the past some awful fan films that were based on SEGA’s mascot, Sonic. Most of you thought that a proper Sonic movie was not possible, right? Well, you were partially right. BlueCoreStudios released today its fan-made Sonic film, in which AVGN makes a cameo appearance. Sonic looks F’ing incredible, though the whole acting is kind of meh. Also, dialogs sound louder than the environmental and special sound effects, making the whole film feel a bit cheap and unprofessional (this can be easily spotted on the Sonic fight at 10:30 mark). Still, this is way better than what we got in the past, so make sure to give it a go! Continue reading Sonic the Hedgehog Gets A Cool Fan Film – AVGN Makes An Appearance→
SEGA has released a new trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines that focuses on the game’s storyline. I seriously hope that this new Aliens game will surprise me pleasantly, though I’m a bit disappointed from what I’ve already seen. Lots of scripted events everywhere and an awful AI make this a title that needs further polishing before rolling it out. Let’s hope that Gearbox will not disappoint us on this. Enjoy!
