Well, Aliens: CM is the perfect example of what happens when a bunch of studios develop one game.

Yep, too many cooks in the kitchen, though Gear Box is responsible for hiring so many and choosing the specific ones that they did.

Yeah, they are. People need to stop telling people it isn't GearBox's fault, because technically it is.

I'm still surprised that Gearbox managed to screw it up. Something happened towards the release that changed it all and I don't believe Gearbox is responsible. They had a kick ass game and it got reduced to a sub-standard version, I really want them to explain why.

Well, the way I see it, GearBox were more focused on BL2, then they remembered they had a contract with Sega, so they got a bunch of studios to work on it for them, and when they realised their game was a piece of shit, they made their own press release demo, and fucked everyone over.

Gearbox ignored the game for around six years, constantly backburnering it so that they could work on their other games.

Gearbox eventually subcontracted it. Gearbox got Sega to allow more delays. Sega supposedly started threatening to take legal action against Gearbox, with Gearbox deciding the best alternative was just to rush out a cobbled together mess, and then it turned into an anonymous he-said-she-said blame game.

The story has actually been getting a bit darker and even more negative towards Gearbox. Latest that I've seen is that Sega was going to cancel it at one time, and Gearbox had been lying to Sega about both the game's progress and the number of people working on it in order to keep collecting checks.

There's something wrong with your eyes. Either that or you haven't watched the original movie series.

I completely agree, and we're talking about a film made in the 80's that still managed to create a unique visual style.

Indeed. The demo is built by Gearbox, while the actual is built by either TimeGate or Nerve. I can't remember which built it alongside Gearbox.

I think both Time Gate and Nerve made contributions, as well as possibly another company. From what I've heard Nerve's contributions were largely to the multiplayer, but I can't say that with total certainty.

Meh, the visuals might be pretty bad. But I was kind of expecting that, it being multiplatform and all. What turned me off is the fact that whoever made this never actually watched any of the Alien movies. All the gameplay I am seeing reminds me more of the Starship Troopers movie than Aliens.
