Via the OFLC.

Is this a retitled version of their Colonial Marines sidescroller for DS* (which was apparently shelved due to the delays of the console version), or something else entirely?

*Sorry for the shitty music - I believe Sega took all versions of the original video upload offline and that's what I could find.

[Ahoi-Brause]

That game has awesome spriteart.
Konami should hire wayforward for a new castlevania and a new contra (again)

[ShockingAlberto]

Yeah, I would be willing to bet it's the Colonial Marines game.

[Mr. B Natural]

Aliens infestation?

[FoneBone]

Woah, I never thought that game would resurface. Hope it's good!

[Femmeworth]

Do want. O_O I hope it's a Metroidvania, it's kind of hard to tell from the video posted.

[Dascu]

No platforms mentioned and I suppose it won't be a DS (only) game anymore. Perhaps for the downloadable services? 3DS?

[sixteen-bit]

At the very least, Wayforward makes nice looking games. I'm looking forward to more media.

[D2M15]

Well, they did say Colonial Marines was finally going to show at E3.

[Pyrokai]

WayForward is generally awesome. Always happy to see new stuff from them. Very productive company, too. New games all the time :p

[FoneBone]

Well, they did say Colonial Marines was finally going to show at E3.

I don't believe this was ever confirmed, and I'm personally less than optimistic.

[To Far Away Times]

Wow, nice animation and sprites.

[Father_Brain]

FYI, here's the thread from two years ago on Colonial Marines DS. Video links don't work anymore, but there's a quote from a former WayForward employee implying that it would have been a Metroid-esque title.

It would be cool if it shows up for psn/live. That trailer is so old the game could look like anything by now.

[Graphics Horse]

It lives! I wonder if it's DSiware or something else now.

[D2M15]

I don't believe this was ever confirmed, and I'm personally less than optimistic.

I meant for this game. Although YOU NEVER KNOW.

[Baloonatic]

Looks like you have to tap A a lot. Very nice looking though.

[How About No]

Looks like you have to tap A a lot. Very nice looking though.

Ahh, tap A to shove and fire while they're still on top of you? That doesn't seem very smart...

[FoneBone]

I meant for this game. Although YOU NEVER KNOW.

Wait, WayForward said that? When?

[fernoca]

Aliens infestation?

Never heard of...



??? :p

[lunchwithyuzo]

Centipede Infestation with an Alien skin? Is Wayforward pulling a Westone?

[Cow Mengde]

We know the sprite animation is amazing, but what do we know about the gameplay? I need to know about the gameplay before I can make some kind of judgement.

[How About No]

Never heard of... ??? :p

For some reason, that always looked like a grinning salamander than an actual Alien to me lol

[WarZombie]

Do want. O_O I hope it's a Metroidvania, it's kind of hard to tell from the video posted.

Completely agree. An Alien Metroidvania would make my day. Announcement at E3, perhaps?

[Graphics Horse]

For some reason I believed that elephant nosed beige thing was a Space Jockey, but only now I realise it's an alien hatched from one instead.

[Error Macro]

Do want. O_O I hope it's a Metroidvania, it's kind of hard to tell from the video posted.

Looks like it could be a Controid.

[SalsaShark]

CaminoAdelante? im in

[Nirolak]

*Sorry for the shitty music - I believe Sega took all versions of the original video upload offline and that's what I could find.

Actually, I think that song was in the original leak.

[Evilink]

Looks like it could be a Controid.

ooooooo-aaaaaaah Controidvanliens. Do want.

[Father_Brain]

Actually, I think that song was in the original leak.

Might have been. It was two years ago, after all.

[Graphics Horse]

Might have been. It was two years ago, after all.

It's how I remember it. In fact I'll be disappointed if it's not in the game now :(

[HELLA_MONEYZ]

Yeah, I would be willing to bet it's the Colonial Marines game.

That's a gearbox game.

[Shiggy]

That's a gearbox game.

WayForward did a DS version of that, which was shelved when the Gearbox version was shelved in late 2008.

[Amalthea]

Wouldn't be surprising if Sega regrets wasting the license just on AvP3.

[cuyahoga]

Wouldn't be surprising if Sega regrets wasting the license just on AvP3.

Well, technically, that was a Vivendi game that Sega picked up the rights to after Axedivision.

[cj_iwakura]

Please be like the Aliens arcade game please be like the Aliens arcade game.
(The side scroller, not the rail shooter.)

[HELLA_MONEYZ]

WayForward did a DS version of that, which was shelved when the Gearbox version was shelved in late 2008.

In that case this is most likely the skeleton of that game.

[kaiwing]

I haven't been disappointed with any WayForward title yet, so I'm definitely optimistic about this title. The canceled version looked good, hopefully they're sprucing it up in this new release.

[FoneBone]

Wouldn't be surprising if Sega regrets wasting the license just on AvP3.

They've got Colonial Marines... maybe... and the Creative Assembly project, which is reportedly huge. I doubt it.

Well, technically, that was a Vivendi game that Sega picked up the rights to after Axedivision.

Source? This is literally the first I've heard of it.

[Nirolak]

Wouldn't be surprising if Sega regrets wasting the license just on AvP3.

They used it as the test game for the rest of the franchise.

Now they even have Creative Assembly making a survival horror title.

[eXistor]

The Aliens games have a pretty decent track record as far as sidecrollers go (I loved both the SNES and Genesis versions of Alien 3) and this is WayForward. Looks like fun so far, but the video was kind of vague in a lot of ways.

[Cow Mengde]

ooooooo-aaaaaaah Controidvanliens. Do want.

Both Contra and Metroid were inspired in some way by Aliens too.

[SmithnCo]

WayForward and Aliens? Sounds cool.

That Colonial Marines sidescroller looked fun too, at least the sprite art and animation was great looking. Wouldn't mind if this is a retitle of that game.

[KenOD]

I'll buy it just for that song during the Colonial Marines trailer Aliens... living inside a human, brilliant. Seriously though it's WayForward and I love them so.

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

The other Colonial marine threads are so old I thought I'd just throw this in here. Over at Joystiq today they received the severed head of Casey from Aliens. As it finally seems Gearbox is actually going to show off Aliens at E3. Like for real this time.

Edit - Just saw the other thread.

[Worthintendo]

Had my eye on this before under its previous name, I'm very much happy to see its still alive.

Yay for the DS not being quite dead yet.

I am 100% positive that Colonial Marines will be at E3.

[Rei_Toei]

That's a way to awesome idea to ever realistically happen :( (for Castlevania that is)

[Ruud_Luiten]

looks like a bad GBA game :(

[jufonuk]

Ohh delayed for a 3DS version? (possibly saying what people are hoping)

if not hope it's the same as the DS trailer game for DS..
