Who cares about the rpg, where the hell is aliens colonial marines? Its been in development over a year and we have buggar all!

 

Development has been suspended (take that as you will) while an Aliens vs Predator game is developed.

Colonial Marines and AvP are being made by different studio's. The reason Colonial Marines has disappeared is SEGA want to launch Colonial Marines at an appropriate time so they can follow up next year with AvsP, thus it's been delayed.

 From what I've head Colonial Marines is all but finished, and Obsidian are moving onto their next project. The Aliens RPG got canned because SEGA wanted to push an Aliens vs Predator game in 2010, but Obsidian will just rework their Aliens RPG game into something else... a new IP I'd guess...
