Lately there seems to be a shift were everyone is poo-pooing Aliens:Colonial Marines. Is it because it's coming out on Wii U?
Who are these everyone?
Weekend Confirmed, NeoGaf, Gametrailers commentors, Joystiq commentors, Kotaku commentors.
More like the majority of the press guys have played the game and it isn't that hot and there are better games in that niche coming out around the same time frame.
The only reason why Nintendo fans are even hyping this game is because its one of the only third party Wii u games hitting early next year. The whole motion sensor gimmick sounds cool but if the the rest of the game is hot garbage than its a moot point.
Gearbox was smart though this game is going to bomb hard on Xbox/PS3 but will probably do decent numbers on the Wii U as that seems to be the only version they are hyping and mostly due to lack of competition on the platform.
Also the only other game that has had a dubious production history that was released from gearbox was also total ****,
Its less paranoid Wii U hate and more the game is mediocre and there are way more other better games hitting in that same time frame on the two systems that side of the media cares about.
Even if there wasn't a Wii U version the game was always going to bomb because
1) its supposedly mediocre.
2) its coming out next too fuse (another bomb that will kill insomniac), army of two devils cartel, dead space 3, gears of war judgement, BioShock.
