Pitchford: Gearbox ‘Working Butts Off’ On Aliens: Colonial Marines
In a recent interview with Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford set for January's issue of Game Informer, the enthusiastic Borderlands creator shed some light on the developer’s upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines game. If you were afraid that the game had been completely thrown to the wayside by publisher Sega in favor of Rebellion Developments’ Aliens Vs. Predator game, you’re wrong.
Taking a moment from enjoying the great critical reception of Borderlands, Pitchford tells us how the development of Aliens: Colonial Marines is going:
“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,” says Pitchford.
If Randy’s trademark enthusiasm continues to mount for Colonial Marines as it did for Borderlands, the man’s optimism alone may ensure a hit game. At any rate, German gamers being neglected Alien Vs. Predator may yet have Xenomorphs to slay in their future.
