Pitchford: Brothers in Arms Furious 4 still exists, 'has evolved' [Joystiq]

[DP ServBot]

"The game has evolved, I think people are going to be surprised by what they'll see, and it's still evolving," Gearbox president Randy Pitchford told CVG about Brothers in Arms: Furious 4. "One of the reasons why we're not talking about it now is that it's evolving and we need to make further changes before we can start talking about it."

The Ubisoft-published shooter was presumed dead after its E3 2011 reveal was followed up by complete silence - a silence only broken by the news that its trademarks had lapsed. CVG reports that the USPTO rejected the dual trademark application by Ubisoft and Gearbox, and Gearbox is now filing on its own.

Of course, evolution is not a quick process, and as a result Furious 4 won't make its original 2012 release window. "I might come around to talk about Furious Four between the releases of Borderlands 2 and Aliens: Colonial Marines," Pitchford said, "but certainly I won't before the release of Borderlands 2." Borderlands 2 is out in September, and Aliens is due in February.Pitchford: Brothers in Arms Furious 4 still exists, 'has evolved' originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:00:00 EST.

Wake me up if and when they make an actual Brothers in Arms sequel and not this nonsense.

Agree. When I first saw the promo for this during their E3 presentation last year, I couldn't believe they were essentially releasing a bad rip-off of Inglorious Bastards as a console game. Nothing about it looked remotely interesting. Hopefully they will focus on a true sequel, especially now that the WWII FPS genre has largely been abandoned by Activision and EA.
