Did you pick up a copy of Aliens Colonial Marines from SEGA and Gearbox? If so, you’ll be interested to know that both companies in question have now been targeted in a class action lawsuit, over false advertising claims relating to pre-release graphics and the resulting graphics that featured in the final copy of the game.

If you have been keeping an eye on the situation, you’ll probably know that bad things were coming Gearbox’s way after so many complaints on the issue. To give you a recap, watch the video that we have included above – which shows scenes from Aliens Colonial Marines being shown for the first time at E3 in 2012, and the same scenes in the final version of the game.

The differences in graphics are so clear cut, that even Gearbox president Randy Pitchford admitted in a Tweet that something suspect was going on, although he hasn’t made a definitive statement on the reasons why or indeed said anything yet about this lawsuit.

It looks like they have been truly caught out trying to deceive gamers on this occasion and it looks like the price may now be paid as a result of the lawsuit. The accuser is seeking damages for everyone who pre-ordered the game, or purchased the game on release date.

You can read much more about this over at Polygon, who have obtained a copy of the lawsuit from Edelson LLC. We have a feeling that this definitely isn’t over and it will be interesting to see what the ending result will be. The graphics are clearly different though, as you’ll see in the video.

If you have picked up a copy of Aliens Colonial Marines before or on launch date, are you now seeking some compensation as well?

Now we have even more good news for fans of the Borderlands series, as according to Nicholas Davies over at devicemag.com, more game details have now been unveiled courtesy of the latest issue of the Game Informer magazine. Although the developer is keeping some of the elements of the original game, they have made quite a few changes for Borderlands 2.

For example, the original ‘Vault Hunters’ will no longer be playable characters in the Borderlands 2 game, and will now be replaced by four brand new faces. However, the original cast will still be featured in the game as support NPCs. The Borderlands 2 game will also feature a different variety of vehicles, with one of them being a Bandit Technical.

Speaking of vehicles, Gearbox Software wants to make four seating as standard in order to accommodate four-player co-op parties. According to Matthew DeCarlo at techspot.com, one of the brand new characters is a bearded dwarf named Salvador, who has the ability to dual-wield any 2 weapons. Borderlands 2 will also feature a new elemental item called Eridium.

Players will be able to use Eridium to enhance their weapons, which can now have custom decals and enhancements. Each weapon manufacturer will also have its own visual styling / theme to enable players to easily identify the weapon’s manufacturer. This of course means that no two manufacturers will have the same looking guns.

The enemies in the Borderlands 2 game will also be more responsive, and interact with each other a lot better. Players will also discover that bandits will now have their own brand of weaponry in Borderlands 2, and the NPCs will be fully animated and be able to move around their locations, as well as interact with objects within their locations.

Are you looking forward to the Borderlands 2 game?

Although no official confirmation has been released by 2k Games or Gearbox Software, we expect that an announcement that confirms the games existence will be revealed soon.

The first news that we heard about Borderlands 2 came in April, when Borderlands 2 was spotted on a game developers online CV. Previously, we also had unofficial confirmation that Randy Pitchford was going to work on a new game. Whether or not this was Borederlands 2 or not, we don’t know. But Pitchford did mention that he intended on re-visting the franchise at some point.

On top of the news, GameInformer have gone all out by featuring Borderlands 2 on their September issue magazine. The feature contains 12 full pages of supposed screenshots and exclusive details from Borderlands 2, with a bunch of improvements that the developers have in store for us when we take our long awaited trip back to Pandora.

The original Borderlands. which debuted on Wndows based machines, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 went on to recieve critical acclaim with all scores in the 80′s (out of 100) or in some cases 4s and 4.5s (out of 5) depending on what review you chose to read. Borderlands also went on to recieve the Xbox 360′s Game of the Year award at RPGLand and also named Runner-up for overall Game of the Year.

So with no official announcement yet from 2k Games, but more of an announcement regarding a future announcement of Borderlands 2, we can take it that the game is all but confirmed. If indeed it does come to fruition, will you be looking forward to Borderlands 2?

Update: Just as we were about to publish this post we heard official confirmation that the game was official!

The first impressions from the folks at Gouki are that the look and feel for the game in terms of its likeness to the surroundings in the film are great. They say that any fans of the film will be able to easily recognise the blueprints of the buildings.

The E3 demo shows that there will be 4 player online co-op mode which Gouki say looks very good. They also managed to sneak a peak at some custom designs on the armour for some of the other co-op players which suggests that there may be custom armour designs for different players to choose and use.

The demo showed various features of the game from firefights to simple gameplay and the impression we get from Gouki is that the game looks exciting. For any fans of the film series this may be one to add to the collection, in fact even people who haven’t watched the films should enjoy the game. For full details check out Gouki.

The video was found thanks to an easter egg hidden in the teaser trailer, if you head over to our previous post and watch the video you will see this IP address: 66.194.172.6, if you type this into your browser’s address bar and then enter “FATHER” as the host name you can watch an extended trailer which shows gameplay, sadly at the time of this post we cannot embed this video.

After watching the extended trailer you will notice that lots of the content is the same as before, however towards the end you get to see a few glimpses of gameplay, sadly none of the footage gives too much away, therefore we presume that a more detailed trailer will emerge soon, perhaps at E3 2011.

While we are on the subject we thought we would get some feedback from you regarding the game’s developer, as previously mentioned Gearbox Software‘s developers are working on the game and they have recently been the guys behind Duke Nukem Forever and Borderlands, do you think that they will do Aliens: Colonial Marines justice?
