Announcing an announcement is kind of lame, but it works on me...
Aliens: Colonial Marines, the much-delayed first person shooter in development at Gearbox, is due an imminent reveal, according to Alan Pritchard, VP of Sales and Marketing at SEGA America.

Speaking to Game Informer, (picked up by SEGAbits), Pritchard revealed that fans of the franchise would get an annoucement regarding the SEGA title in the near future, "Colonial Marines is still on," explained Pritchard, "We've been working closely with Gearbox behind the scenes, and we'll be able to tell you a lot about that in the next couple of months. It won't be November 11th [as previously reported]. We haven't announced a date yet."

Gearbox is currently busying itself with the release of Duke Nukem Forever, another game that once threatened to be vaporware.

Aliens: Colonial Marines has officially been in development at Gearbox since 2006, although it supercedes an unconnected Playstation 2 title of the same name that was cancelled before its planned release in 2001 by EA.

Dragging game development on for years seems the new vogue

Which is fine on 2 conditions:

1) The time is used well to tweak, balance, refine and smooth. Which doesn't seem to have been the case with Gran Turismo by all accounts.

2) The cost of extra development time isn't passed on to the consumer.

This is still alive - there will be info at E3 and it's set for Spring '12. But just how much marketing can you eek out of some sound effects? lol
Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software wrote:To Gearbox Software and its peers throughout the industry, Aliens is one of the most influential science fiction properties of all time. Aliens: Colonial Marines, designed as an interactive successor to the landmark films from Twentieth Century Fox, is a dream project about which our studio is deeply committed and passionate.
Let's just hope the publisher hasn't interfered too much.
