An ex-Gearbox employee has revealed that the majority of Aliens: Colonial Marines was not developed by Gearbox Software.
The un-named employee has said:
“Hate to say it, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high for Colonial Marines. I used to work at Gearbox, and the development of that game has been a total train wreck, going on what, six years now? Gearbox isn’t even making the game, except for the multiplayer. Primary development was outsourced to TimeGate Studios, which has a less than stellar past.”
TimeGate Studios are known for the game Section 8: Prejudice and various DLC packs for FEAR.
LakeFeperd, the developer of Sonic fan game Sonic Before the Sequel, has released a unique follow-up game called Sonic Before the Sequel Aftermath. The fan game changes the traditional Sonic gameplay by taking place in a giant overworld which you can freely explore. New abilities like melee combat and double jumping are also included and can be leveled up using an experience system.
