    *see thread I just made* Compared to this Street Fighter X Tekken Gate is Nothing.

    I was really looking forward to this game too and it's a bit sad they botched it just as much as Alien 3.
    I guess Aliens was never intended to have a Sequel.

    alien 3 was a decent movie, especially if you watch the directors cut

    @Kevin, i really hope Sega will sue them to hell.
    This Randy Pitchfork is an asshole.
    But also Sega is to blame because they could have taken the project away from GBX a lot sooner and give it to a Studio who has time.

    SEGA failed at some point...

    They both failed in a way, one because of management failure, the other because he accepted a contract he couldn't complete.
    Their reputation will be tarnished.

    Alien 3 isn't great or even good. Right at the beginning it pukes all over Aliens by killing off two survivors in a lame way, then proceeds to be a rehash of Alien, except browner.

    true but by the time alien 3 came out carrie henn was older and micky beihn was having some issues and a almost dead career,

    but we could do the whole alien 3 debate over n over again some people like it some people don't but i think it suffered some of the corperate bullshit and missmanagment that colonial marines has, so maybe comparable there.

    i doubt we'll get a colonial marines: directors cut, to fix everything unless the mentioned 8gb patch is real and on its way.

    Serious deja vu over the Alien 3 discussion. I think it's come up at least 3 or 4 times. I still need to rewatch the first two.

    i'd recommend you grab the alien quadrilogy box set, its pretty good and includes the theatrical releases and the special editions/directors cuts and another disc with some documentaries and laserdisc archive footage

    can be picked up pretty cheap now, there's a dvd and bluray version, first 2 movies are excellent.

    but yeah even since i've been on here(not that long) i've seen the alien 3 debate a few times lol.

    The Alien Anthology is definitely better than pretty good, even though 3 is pretty bad and Resurrection is a steaming pile, the extras more than make up for it - there's even a documentary on the troubled production of 3.
