We don't blame you for rolling your eyes at another Alien game. After all, most of them have been pretty rubbish, including last year's Aliens: Colonial Marines that is still going through pretty hefty lawsuits as a result of alleged false marketing. But there is genuine hope that Alien Isolation could actually live up to what the movies represented. How? By embracing the horror.
Publisher says developer shouldn't be absolved from ongoing legal case. Sega has accused Gearbox Software of being partially culpable in the way Aliens: Colonial Marines was misleadingly marketed at trade shows.
Its quite sometime now as SEGA and Gearbox were facing the class-action suit regarding false advertisement of Aliens: Colonial Marines and using fake demos of the game at E3.
Sega is willing to settle the lawsuit for $1.25 million dollars, a fraction of the lawsuit's original claim of $5 million in damages due to false advertising and misleading marketing.
Settlement could be warning sign for publishers. Sega of America has decided to yield in a lawsuit that accuses it of misleading gamers with its advertising and trade-show demonstrations of the controversially substandard video game, Aliens: Colonial Marines.
