Gearbox har tidligere meldt ud, at Wii U-udgaven af deres Aliens: Colonial Marines ville være den bedste version af spillet. Men spillet er ikke ude endnu, og det forlyder, at det faktisk forholder sig helt modsat med hensyn til kvaliteten - Wii U-udgaven skulle være den værste.
Det skriver en person, der påstår at være tester hos Segas europæiske afdeling, og som gik på Reddit for at forklare en ting eller to om spillet, skriver Dark Side of Gaming:
Blandt andet skriver han følgende:
"Oh wow. Yes okay. I was hoping someone would ask this. I have played the WiiU version. The one that is supposedly the best of all of them? It is not. It is the worst. It is a bit of a joke.
"The WiiU is basically the same game as the console version but with framerate issues, worse texture loading, and horrendously misguided minigames thrown in. You get a ‘scanner' to scan enemies and get bonus points that aid your harming them. When you cut open doors (which happens a lot in the game) you have a game where you have to keep the heat ‘optimal'.
"They just add frustration, and take away even more from the fun. We don't know if it will come out, Sega are conisdering canceling it, but right now its still going."
Reddits moderatorer skrev, at vedkommende havde bekræftet sin identitet over for dem, men vi lader det være op til den enkelte om den anonyme kilde er troværdig. Siden han lavede indlægget, har han slettet sin konto og samtlige af sine indlæg igen.
På den positive side sagde han at Creative Assemblys Alien-spil så lovende ud.
