[Arla]

It's called Aliens: Colonial Marines...why would you expect an "Alien" type atmosphere and not "Aliens" type?

 

[Mlatador]

I'm not too excited to be honest.

 

[Leynos]

So Hicks is in this in some form or another? It has to be a prerecorded message as the Sulaco returned to LV-426 after leaving Fury- 161, and we all know how Hicks ended up. And that must be another Bishop droid.

 

[FoneBone]

really? is there any information regarding this game?

[TheJollyCorner]

what the fuck did they do to the characters?

 

[pvpness]

Humans look pretty iffy, but the aliens look pretty great. 4p co-op means I'm there day one.

 

[Cystm]

That voice acting is terrible, but the aliens look spot on.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I can't tell if this is going to be enjoyable or not. I see a a fair number of negative opinions but I have a feeling it will find a supportive niche audience.

 

[Christberg]

Yep, just waiting for confirmation that it has gamepad + TV coop in the Wii U version and the reviews aren't too mortifying and I'm there day 1. Looking forward to many Wii U titles exploiting this to the fullest, looks like a good one.

 

[WilyRook]

Wasn't it 17 days, not weeks, to an expected response? /nerd

 

[Salsa]

IM CAPTAIN CREW AND YOU ARE MY CREW

they missed that opportunity

 

[Nekofrog]

Wasn't it 17 days, not weeks, to an expected response? /nerd

17 days? Hey man, I don't want to rain on your parade but we're not gonna last 17 hours!

 

[Salsa]

also im pretty sure I saw Jeff Green there

 

[WilyRook]

17 days? Hey man, I don't want to rain on your parade but we're not gonna last 17 hours!

Right? And...

This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.

 

[ultrazilla]

Don't really see where the hate is coming from.

I saw a Bishop.
Mystery man - Burke?

Hudson

 

[strafer]

I'm ready.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Right? And...

This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.

Why don't you put her in charge?

 

[goldensnake]

Story and VO seemed subpar. The action looks ok but a huge lack of ATMOSPHERE from that trailer, felt flat. Something about the soundtrack or lack thereof.

 

[MWS Natural]

what the fuck did they do to the characters?

Yeah...weren't the original screenshots of this awesome??

 

[Valravn]

Wow the character models look like they came from The Old Republic.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Hudson

Oh, man.

He never died, he went out swinging and fought his way to freedom!

 

[Hickee]

Did he ever make any cash from Metal Gear?

This actually doesn't look too bad.

Actually I don't know. Also, after checking his wiki, it says he charged FOX so much for using his likeness in Alien 3 after learning he was killed offscreen instead of taking over the lead from Sigourney, he was pretty pissed.

I'd always heard they'd used it without his consent but there you go.

 

[strobogo]

I'd really love more of 3rd person, exploring type Alien game instead of another FPS. More of a Zeldaish kind of game.

 

[destrudo]

Hicks? Is is possible Hudson will make a cameo as well? I don't care if they retcon the movies, since I see this game as fan service. I was actually hoping they would completely retcon Alien 3, but seeing as how the Sulaco went to Fury 161 I guess that's not the case.

Also, lol, that chick at 0:37 looks almost exactly like the new Lara Croft.

Edit: That guy with his face covered at 1:16 (who did we bring back) is probably Hudson seeing as how the bandages on his left arm are exactly the same as Hudson's were. Also, I just found out the actors who played Drake and Apone are rumored to providing voice work for the multi-player.

Well you play as Apone, Hicks, Drake and Hudson in one of the Multiplayer modes.

 

[destrudo]

I didn't know that! Hell, even though this game looks pretty average I might have to pick it up out of pure nostalgia.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Actually, might be a pre-order bonus :|

game over man

 

[Truant]

lol at the low poly planet in the beginning. 2002 level graphics right there.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Looks like 343 Guilty Spark from Halo 1. Halo 1 was heavily inspired by Aliens. 343GS is like the Aliens game that should have been.

I want this game to be good but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

And yeah, graphics aren't looking too great.

 

[red731]

What happened on Sulaco stays on Sulaco.

 

[Sissel]

Looks bad :/

Spoiler

Will buy it in launch window

lol

 

[NullPointer]

Looks like shit.

The sad thing is that it´s Aliens, so they got me by the balls, i´ll probably check this out anyway (at bomba price).

Ayup. I'm in at bomba.

 

[DGRE]

game over man

Why was Salsa banned?

 

[Medalion]

This will be one of my next purchases... more likely the next purchase right away

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Timegate is working on this so that's how I knew it would be terrible.

 

[Medalion]

I will say, yeah the graphics look dialed back quite a bit from the previous footage... I suspect that footage may be Wii-U

 

[Boards of Canada]

They were saying that the Wii U version is the best looking console version. This doesn't look good at all.

 

[Equus Bellator Apex]

Why was Salsa banned?

because

 

[Ollie Pooch]

What happened on Sulaco stays on Sulaco.

Tell David Fincher.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

The aliens look really good.

 

[Sojgat]

This trailer is the first thing from this game that I found to look even remotely interesting. The familiar movie environments are really cool. Is there any chance this won't be garbage?

Multiplayer will probably be all right, and dead in about two weeks.

 

[RyanReedyMusic]

As I posted in the other thread about this game. Its less and less interesting to me after booting up AVP Rebellion version with DX11.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

I feel bad some developers spend years of their life working on stuff like this.

 

[oconnomiyaki]

I'm ready.

Okay, so Pitchford says that he's been ripping off Aliens his whole career, but nothing bugged me more than Modern Warfare ripping off this scene and lines. The entire irony is lost if you aren't using a shotgun against extra terrestrials.

 

[Feature]

Wow, the graphics look horrible.

 

[Outtrigger888]

The multiplayer mode that's 4v4(humans vs aliens) looks like it will be a lot of fun. Its like left 4 deads multiplayer mode and I'm all for that. Four player co-op should be a lot of fun too.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Hopefully the aliens control better than AvP.

 

[Sojgat]

I'm actually hoping the SP campaign could be worth playing. The atmosphere looks cool, but I just have no idea how they're going to fill an entire FPS campaign without it all getting boring and repetitive.
