Today Sega and Gearbox have officially confirmed that Aliens: Colonial Marines will finally be making its way into E3. We can now reveal that a display, based on the iconic Hadley’s Hope colony, has been made for the event.
“The guys worked really hard on making it feel very authentic from the universe” Gearbox told us.
Visitors will be lead inside of the display and have the chance to get a sneak peak of the game. Leading to the ultimate Colonial Marine experience.
Gearbox adds: “We will not only be showing off a piece of the Aliens: Colonial Marines campaign, but also demonstrating the co-op capabilities at the same time“.
If you’re lucky enough to head to E3, make sure to stop by Booth #2023 and let us know your impressions. Also just like in previous years, we will be doing an online coverage of the show. Make sure not to miss it!
The other Marines will mostly be canon fodder it sounds like while your squad will be on of the few remaining squads.
Well, he might have got away
How is the AI in the game? Are the Marines (the ones which are not in your squad) just cannon fodder or do they help you in the game against the Xenos?
He was also in the AP, so he's just vapor now.
Thats okay.
Probably not a big deal. Game is still being made.
THIS however IS going to be a problem... On paper, this big rhino Xenos sounds like a slap in the face, but did it work well? Did it work? Does it fit in with the movies and the rest of the game?
So that was good. Cool.
No big deal.
The only thing that bugged me was; I'm so used to avp where you shoot the xenos they kinda dismember. None of that in the demo. The pulse rifle sounds like the smart gun in avp that really bugged. And ontop of that the ammo count never hit 99, always stayed at 50.
They are introducing new types of xenos, one was in the demo. It looked like a big triceratops minus the horns.
I did like the atmosphere, and the fact that you have to hold the motion tracker.
If you guys got any questions feel freet to ask
Sorry for typos and grammer I'm still at e3 and am posting this from th phone
Upload video from phone.
I really don't get this level of puckered ass unless the game is still in a very rough stage and they don't want to show fans to prevent analysis of a WIP and inevitable disappointment/anger. It sounds pretty put together though, which eliminates every possibility save SEGA is a dick.
*Great one walks in*
Hello everyone I'd like to thank you for visiting this booth- *yadda yadda*
*Great one reaches into pants to get camera*
Lets begin the footage
*After recieving odd looks from having his hand in his pants the lights dim and he quickly pulls out his camera when no one looks*
(footage plays)
*Great one starts recording and the metal gear solid "!" appears on a marine gaurds head*
f**k
*Great one fends them off for all of two seconds*
Who knows. Maybe tomorrow they will let you take some pictures and a nice video. Best of luck. I hope you can get something good.
If you manage to slip in a camera and take pictures without getting thrown out then I'll aplaud you Great One.
May I suggest going in twice? Once normally to watch the footage and the second (and likely last) time smuggling in a camera?
So the E3 livestream and such, are they going to show A:CM on live or in a private place where they can't stream it?
Have we got anybody on the inside that's able to take video's or pics or anything?
Sounds like we'll be crawling YouTube and Twitter for vids then. Don't think Sega or GB are doing any shows or anything? At least today.
YAY!
E3 starts at about 8-9:00 AM Pacific Time.
swag = Stuff We All Get. Basically the stuff they hand out to journalists like a keychain or poster or whatever. Not sure if they do that sort of thing at E3.
Unless it's the same swag that gets sold at Hot Topic when the game comes out.
At which point I dont care if I missed it!
Hopefully GB is still aiming to make this game a truly authentic Aliens experience in every way possible. So hopefully they'll have them at their correct, monstrous 8' height and not so wimpy like they were in AvP.
I can't wait!!
Trust me, I've tried repeatedly!
What you could do is see if someone can get in contact with ShadowPred (he lives in LA but contacting him will be hard) and seeing if he has the funds to get in.
Thanks for the offering! I might send you a PM soon.
Well if you guys want me to report on any specific information ill be more the glad to. If there is any questions you want me to ask ill do that as well.
Oh well... maybe another opportunity will arise again another year...
I'm afraid it's too late now for registration.
