Ex-Gearbox dev in May 2012: “I am expecting [Colonial Marines] to be average at best.” Also said “development of that game has been a total train wreck,” and Gearbox only was handling multiplayer, with TimeGate as primary dev.

Here’s the full statement from that ex-Gearbox dev…

Hate to say it, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high for Colonial Marines. I used to work at Gearbox, and the development of that game has been a total train wreck, going on what, 6 years now? Gearbox isn’t even making the game, except for the multiplayer. Primary development was outsourced to TimeGate Studios, which has a less than stellar past. I hope it proves me wrong, as I still have alot of friends still working at Gearbox, but I am expecting it to be average at best.

Gearbox kinda lied to us about this game, I’m disappointed in how the marketing of this game was handled.
