Randy Pitchford and co are bullshit artists when it comes to PR.
That said, I enjoyed AVP a lot, and I hope this will turn out as good. Was not a fan of duke nukem (was anyone?) and I thought borderlands was boring as hell.
here is a quote from Jim's 2009 article "Aliens: Colonial Marines depends on success of AvP":
[i]
"I think the detail of that [release date] is probably still too early," explains Mike Hayes, Sega president and COO. "What I would say is it’s unlikely that we’d launch anything within six months [of Aliens vs. Predator], but probably nine months, eight to 12 months possibly. Though we literally are looking at that at the moment and a lot of is going to depend, as well, on how successful AvP is at the box."[/i]
so what a crock of shit this is. the first screens were shown in early 2008 for gods sake - so 2007 is "not so long ago" in game development terms?
