Wow, I did not know about that remake. It feels very authentic to the 1999 game.
The guy that uploaded that video comments there about how Randy is a corporate criminal.
That guy whoever he is, has understood how shit goes.

Well, SEGA's Matthew Powers also agrees with this assessment. Gearbox ran the show.
http://www.dsogaming...megate-studios/
"Absolutely not, the game has been developed by Gearbox Software. Other studios [like Timegate] helped Gearbox on the production of single and multiplayer."
Gearbox is (will be) in big shit over this game.
If Gearbox will be in big shit over this game, then may this shit be so big that they drown in it... Especially Randy.

We'll feel a bit better if they're brought back to reality that not everything they touch turns to gold. Sure it's not their fault that DNF was crap, but their relentless hyping/bullshiting did additional damage. And it was entirely their fault for not doing the simplest things like actual graphics options rather than postprocessing: on/off. And an actual save game feature would have made the campaign less of a headache. But oh no, they wanted checkpoints to expand the play time of the campaign so they could brag about its length.
Hopefully by now they realize we're tired of taking their crap. Sure, A:CM had a few external problems. But at the end of the day, it's the product that counts, not the process. Excuses don't cut it, welcome to the real world.

You would be right if the E3 demo didn't represent Aliens so well in gameplay form. This game like I said before, looked and played like the definitive Aliens game and not the typical multiplayer fair in the Alien vs Predator universe. Theres a big difference between games based somewhere in the universe with only similarities by story (star wars: dark forces) and games that take all the elements of a classic film and turn it into gameplay form (Aliens: Colonial Marines E3 Demo). Fans of the classic film were fans of game because it offered a new perspective on the films....sadly the game turned to shit and became an insult to the films.

Not me, I think games should stay away from the particulars of film canon and only touch on the edges of it (as Dark Forces did).
Going back to Hadley's Hope was a major conceptual mistake and the revisionist tampering with Alien 3 and the Hicks character is revolting.

Something tells me Randy would like that. He probably has Church of Fudge as his desktop background.
I can't believe the balls on this guy. His teams fuck everything up, then blame it on a smaller, more vulnerable studio? What an asshole. What a fucking asshole.
I'm really nervous about Duke now.

Yeah I hope they get a firm bitch smack from Sega's hand and then proceed to make more awesome games - the right way this time.

No sign of the internet police yet.
A year or two back someone posted one of those Bear Grylls "Banned from the GBX forums? Better drink my own piss" memes in his "Time out" thread after getting probated for talking shit in the GBX DNF forum.

Also, a closer copy of the Daikatana original would have made the perfect pre-order A:CM ad (i.e. "Randy Pitchford's about to make you his bitch. Suck it down.").

Or has it been out long enough to be bargain basement pricing?

This is sarcasm right?
