Sega and Gearbox Software have released the second developer diary for Aliens Colonial Marines. In this new video, Gearbox Software talks about the combat action between the Xenomorphs and the Marines. They also reveal a few new seconds of gameplay footage as well as some new alien types.
You can watch the trailer below or download it here.

Would be pretty cool, if it weren't for the fact that even when you win...
Spoiler
You lose.
Not in A:CM though, Hicks would be all good. Drake too. Vasquez too. Hudson's arm too.
They should be rare and used for a quick reaction test, like say this guy breaks through the roof of your lift, if you don't kill him in about 5-6 seconds your dead.

Would be good I think since every game makes out that elevators are basically safe zones.
But Natural Selection looks like a good alternative to Starcraft. It looks too busy for my taste as a conventional FPS game.

Clearly... put it this way, if it isn't I'll throw my balls in a 'to go' bag for express delivery to Gearbox HQ because I've just been emasculated.
Please, Please no elevators/lifts/cranes/moving platforms. If you've played the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine campaign you'll know what I mean.
I really don't get any tension from the gameplay, or a feeling of being afraid at all. Those double/triple-kill bonuses don't help. You don't have a HUD for immersion, but you have "triple kill" flashing up on the screen like we're playing an arcade game?
Maybe that was just multiplayer...
Overall, I still think it looks below-average. Looks like a pretty good sci-fi shooter, but not so good as an Aliens game. Most depressing. Still on an express elevator to hell, going down.
I'm sure there will probably be another 4 more added later as overpriced DLC.
Well, they are bullshitting us in the same way they did with AvP3, talking big about how they consider the feedback and then saying there will be no lifecycle.
I just hope we are gonna have more than just 4 MP maps...

No Peaace...
NOW LET THE WAR DIE. I CREATED IT AND I AM DESTROYING IT.

That is why I prefer console.
You can have fun with all those nice things, just let me know when you get the game to run.
That just made my day, F*ck you Amnesia...
Take that PC gamers!
If you have a computer for general use, you wont need that much to run a game. Once you get a decent gpu in your rig you can get any game for free. I play PC games because I'm broke.
Take that console gamers!
I've pretty much abandoned the idea of this being a truly 'authentic' aliens game and I've made my peace with that, just make it good ok GBX.
To be fair the person making this probably didn't know it was going to be shown to the public nor are they trying to produce a masterpiece. It was probably quickly put together to just get a basic point across. When you have hundreds of assets to concept I can understand cutting some corners to get the basic concept across.
It does look goofy however considering how disproportionate the head is.
Btw lol @ the guy who need 1000$ PC to run a game with textures from 2006.
For replayability so the game lasts longer.
I get what you mean, but most console games in '1080p' are actually 720p upscaled. Ultra-resolution antialiasing isn't possible with alot of the console games. ANYWAY, colonial marines looks fantastic lighting-wise and I can't wait to play it in the dark with headphones.
Maybe. But consoles are where the money's at these days. A:CM is being developed with the 360 and PS3 in mind first and then it will be ported to the PC...even though, I admit, a better and more powerful game could be built out of A:CM if it was the other way around. Out of the box however, all the PC game will sport is a higher resolution.
Right now there is no way to prove that the PC version will have better controls, more patches, a better online user base, or servers with longer lifespans. That's just speculation.
1. Actually, I rather prefer console controls for shooters. I f*ckin hate mouse.
2. I'd say the FOV is pretty much the same.
3. Most computers with standard graphics-card pretty much have same quality as a console on a good tv.
4. Why would I need mods? The game is supposed to be fun itself. I hate when people mod games for sh*ts and giggles, it ruins the entire seriousness of games. Especially this game. Who would ever take this game as canon if there is going to be a mod that gives your player a clown-skin?
5. You can get patches and updates on Xbox Live (I guess same goes for PS3)?
6. Dunno about online community, never really bothered me (although I do mostly play with people I know).
7. First time I hear that about servers, but okay...
And most important of all:
8. I have a guarantee that it will work and that there wont be any lag.
I can agree that first seven points outline opinion rather than practical issues, but the last one is indeed of importance and what I would consider the most obvious reason as to why many people buy shooters for their console rather than PC. On a comp you pretty much have to buy a new graphics-/sound-/whatever-card every 2-3 years. And they must be compatible and all that crap, or else you'll get errors or lag. Buying a console ensures you ability to play any game for many years without lag and without need to spend money on additional stuff.
Just my 0.02$
GABEN ACKBAR!
You can pay 500 and build a rig that's better than a 360, take that :p
Oh yeah...Steam Sales anyone?

don't go to the slum markets very often?
it's only expensive because you only look for built rigs.
"We're making a true sequel to Aliens" (or something to that nature)
F**k off
