Sega says it did not want to "sacrifice creative process" to meet former spring ship date; first-person science fiction shooter now due this fall.

Gamers hoping to play Aliens: Colonial Marines in spring 2012 won't have that opportunity. In a statement provided to the GameStop-owned Game Informer magazine, Sega and Gearbox Software revealed that the sci-fi first-person shooter has been delayed to fall 2012.

Gamers now have more time to catch up with the Aliens films.

"Aliens: Colonial Marines is a process of creativity and invention and those don't necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line," reads a line from the statement provided to Game Informer.

"While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don't want to sacrifice the creative process just for the sake of following a blueprint. We prefer to have the creative discovery shape that blueprint because our goal is to make a great game, and we are prioritizing this goal over the previously targeted date."

When it does ship, Aliens: Colonial Marines will arrive for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Its story will pick up shortly after the events of the 1986 sci-fi film Aliens. Players will join a squad of the titular space soldiers who board the USS Sulaco, the spaceship from the film, after it is apparently abandoned. From there the action will spread to the surface of the planet LV-426 and its main settlement, Hadley's Hope. The first-person shooter will also feature environments and weapons inspired by the film.

Apple said to be settling on finalized version of new device as production ramps up at Chinese manufacturer.

Those who picked up the iPhone 4S this holiday season may not be on the cutting edge for long. 9to5Mac reported this week that Chinese manufacturing company Foxconn has begun ramping up for production on the iPhone 5, with a possible target release date of this summer.

Apple will reportedly be tinkering with the iPhone's form factor once again.

9to5Mac's source is employed at Foxconn, and the person noted that Apple has yet to finalize the iPhone 5's design. However, there are a couple of points in common between the various prototypes.

Namely, all of the devices boast a display that's larger than four inches, which would be an increase over the iPhone 4 series' 3.5-inch screen. Also, the prototype cases bear more of a resemblance to the iPhone 4 design, as opposed to the teardrop-shaped design found in previous iPhone generations. However, the source notes that the iPhone 5 will not have the same shape as the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

Apple is coming off of a stellar October-December quarter. During the 14-week period, the Cupertino, California-based company posted a net profit of $13.06 billion on revenues of $46.33 billion, both of which were record figures. Apple sold 37.04 million iPhones during its 2011 holiday quarter, while iPad sales came in at 15.43 million and Mac sales stood at 5.2 million.
