I hope everyone associated with this fucking game completely leaves the industry, fuck them and this studio!
http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/sh...d.php?t=244643That good looking demo of Colonial Marines they kept showing at events? Not part of the game. It was entirely contrived, and basically a lie
Jesus. That is some next level shenanigans.
Jesus Christ almighty. Fuck Gearbox. So basically they took this license, kept dicking around with it and putting it off while they made their own games, then scrambled and went "oh fuck! we need to hire someone to finish this shit up for us or we're in deep shit" and went on making yet another one of their own games instead of fucking taking real responsibility for a franchise they were licensed.
Top comment below, think we found Utnayan's Reddit account?
reddit_sl said:Not acceptable. Not one fucking bit. If your company could not handle development of BL2 and A:CM then you should have put one or the other on the backburner and finished one game. You guys are NOT Blizzard, Ive seen your offices. You dont have hundreds of millions of dollars and can have "cabals" like Valve where different teams are working on different titles.
Your upper management and Pitchford should have known this. For fuck sakes its HIS company, he doesn't even know whats beyond your ability as a company? Is that what it takes to run a game dev studio now? To be completely detached from reality? Shit, are you guys hiring? How can I get Pitchfords job? Really, I guarantee I wont even ask for an amazing sum. Shit, 70k annually and I will get you guys sorted out. Seriously.
Whomever is there behind the steering wheel is overselling your companies ability to do what is tasked to them. That is pathetic.
How you people are still in business is beyond me.
I really hope that DLC ISNT released to "flesh out the story" really, just leave it alone. You guys have done quite enough. Leave it alone, go crank out borederlands3 4 and 5. Just leave this game alone.
The CODization of the gun game, the special aliens that were ripped from left 4 dead, the retconned nonsense that ignores basic things every fan knows as truth from the movies. Really, just stop please.
Whomever made that first fateful decision for you guys to start and stop development of Borederlands, Aliens for the DS, Duke Nukem Fornever, Colonial Marines, Borederlands 2, Brothers In Arms: We cant think of anything original so lets just ape Tarantinos inglorious bastards and god know what else you have right now needs to be fired.
Seriously, who mandates to a company of your size "moar games, develop moar games!"
Really, whomever made this call at the ceo, coo, cfo, kfc, mma, lol level is a world class idiot. They are going to cause your company to go buttfuck bankrupt. Im calling it right now. GBX, the next THQ.
Id start looking for gainful employment elsewhere bro. Nothing against you personally (unless your name is Randy Pitchford then you can go suck a dick) I hold none of the designers, artists and whatnot accountable for this abortion, but your leaders ....... unbelievable.
This is not sound business.
AndSega is denying this.http://www.timegate.com/games/
Look at the game at the top of the list. Word on the street is that Time Gate essentially made the game. More as it develops.
Basically just sounds like everyone wants to disavow having anything to do with the debacle.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.
As Powers told Playnews during the Italian Aliens: Colonial Marines? launch event:
?Absolutely not, the game has been developed by Gearbox Software. Other studios [like Timegate] helped Gearbox on the production of single and multiplayer.?
