*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.
@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.
