I think that the story that GBX comes up with about the egg on Sulaco is as good as any other fan's theory.  We need to take it as just that and not some official canonized interpretation about how the events tie together.  GBX is, after all, a group of self-proclaimed fans of Aliens...just like most of the people on this board.  They just also happen to be game developers that got the license to make a game like this.

It's not canon.

I hope all this latest media reveals (hobby consolas, now this magazine, GB at pax, etc) mean the game might still see the light of day by fall, and not next f**king year...

I can't imagine many people will treat as canon to be honest.

There's around 45-50 minutes flight time from the planet to the Sulaco for the Queen to lay an egg.  For what it's worth.

QuoteNot sure if it was Vincent Wards script that had that crap in it or not, but with the fiasco of a production that turned out to be.. I'm not left wondering how it got there, lol.

Pretty much every Alien3 script - not just Wards - had not-entirely-convincing ways of bringing the Aliens back.

The flight time is correct, but the egg was mounted in a corner inboard the Sulaco, not the APC.

Quote"We believe the xenomorphs were biolomechanical. Some of the other films try to turn them into beastly creatures, but we want to keep them extremely foreign and unidentifiable. They're creepy because you don't know what the hell that is. They bleed but... is that truly blood? We don't know! It has pipes and things like that: elements we can't identify with"

Allright gearbox. You've won me over.

For now.

Didn't mention the APC...

So the Lurker is modeled after the xeno from Alien?

The guys in white armor take me way back to the days of alien trilogy. I have a good feeling about this game. ;D

Oh yeah those guys, if they were put in "Aliens: Colonial Marines" now that would be cool.

Sure It isn't canonical Ash. Do you really think people with a brain are going to accept things like HH survival?, and that's just the first example we see in the videos; more is to come as soon as the game is released and we witness more storyline atrocities like this.

If almost completely destroyed = surviving then yes, HH survived.

SM

In the game however it's 'almost completely untouched'. Which doesn't = 'almost completely destroyed'.

The AP isn't even 'almost completely destroyed'.

We have seen one demo from E3 of very unpolished footage and that footage was not ripped directly from the campaign because it was meant to be a giant set piece to impress the audience. In the real game I don't think HH will look as intact as it did there.

Why go to all that trouble plus trying to explain it's existance.  It looks like an awful lot of work only to go and ditch it.
