Cryptic Prepping Superhero MMO for PC, Consoles; New Red Faction, Aliens Games Named
Word of the project comes from a writeup detailing gaming publication Game Informer's March issue. No further details are available at this time.
Gearbox's upcoming Aliens shooter will be called Aliens: Colonial Marines when it hits PC and unspecifid consoles--most likely PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360--in 2009, the article revealed. It also contained the official title of Volition's next Red Faction entry, Red Faction: Guerilla.

With the sale of City of Heroes/Villains, Cryptic has tons of cash to spend on whatever they want. I'd imagine they have some pretty good options right now. It has become obvious that they do not plan on attacking the 600 Pound Gorilla directly, but to focus more on more niche markets.

City of Heroes fans are pretty much cheering the departure of Cryptic/Jack Emmert. Hopefully they've learned the lessons of City of Heroes but in the end the biggest chance they had of successfully getting another Super Hero MMO off the ground was with the Marvel License. Worse case is they force City of Heroes to add new archetypes, content and features... which they're already doing.
Cryptic should have dropped the Super Hero MMO and focused on their other projects.
