Aliens: Colonial Marines is the cover story of the August issue of PC Gamer. The 6-page article features new screenshots and details on the game. You can find the scans here at our forums.
Special thanks to magazinesfromthepast.wikia.com for the scans.
This is the UK issue. I assume you're in the US.
They have to. It's gaming suicide otherwise. I think its just a case of waiting to find out (other than co-op), what sort it'll have.
I want a moment of un-armed terror where you get cornered by one of em' and have the 8 foot bastard unfold itself right infront of you as you turn around..
We don't even know what Multiplayer will be yet.
Great! Now when can we expect some gameplay vids
The screenshots used on the magazine are expected to release in about 2-3 weeks.
i don't think so, i will have to look at them side by side to be sure though, there is a page long randy pitchford interview though, so that would be extra,
like i said the article is pretty similar, working all with the same information as far as i can tell (it even has a timeline very similar to the one in PC Gamer) it's just written by a different writer,
they are on the cover

Now that is noooice.
Someone go complain about it's tail blade elsewhere.
Exactly my thought.
I want me 8 ft friends back.
Not sure why nobody sees the ALIENS anymore in right sizes. Just look at the ALIENS hero puppet and somebody in charge should get a feeling for proportions....
Yea my mistake,had a brain fart there.But if the Reactor blew up how would handleys hope be still standing,Guess only time will tell.

but with turd Alien 3 colors so it's new.
And if it isn't a Praetorian, honestly hope this game doesn't go into cheesy Aliens arcade territory in this atmosphere.
*Claps slowly*
Well done gearbox, well done.
People seem to forget this because of the exchange of lines between Ripley, Hicks and Burke. "Nuke the site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure"
Obviously a orbital nuke would have been more effective than the reactor malfunctioning, but for the sake of this game, Ripley and company didn't think of that.
For the purpose of the game, the reactor's explosion still would have killed all humans at the colony but who knows about the Xenos.
About syd mead designing the interiors let's remember that it was Ron Cobb who designed almost all the iconic shapes and structures that defined the alien Tech universe corridors, airlocks, operations, medlab, etc. I like syd mead designs but i feel he is too domotic, let's hope that his designs fits well into de franchise
There was no orbital nuke.
My fears about the crusher have subsided a little after seeing that pic. It doesn't look as bad as I feared.
I can see what you guys are saying, but there has to be some difficulty curve for newcomers.
As for the Nostromo, I'm betting on either a multiplayer map, or the Nostromo's class of freighter making an appearance in the game (like the Ferarco in AvP '99). Perhaps as a derelict, or something like that.
Maaan.... looks sweet, but it sounds like this game is going to be another bug hunt. I'm getting a bad Zombie Survival game vibe here for some reason. The Aliens are short/small and seem to be weak so to speak and the emphasized danger here seems to be on mini-bosses and such so that the everyday warrior can act as cannon fodder.
If the Nostromo comes back Ima wtf for serious.
It is nice to have previewer who mostly knows what the f**k they are talking about.
Sound effects. They do this sort of thing all the time. You should look at what other work those people have done. Plus it could potentially be for multiplayer when playing as the Xenos and say voice commands are issued or something like that.
Not really. In today's aviation the DC-9 first flew in 1965, yet Northwest Airlines still had them in their fleet when they were picked up by Delta (not the originals, but updated models) when I worked for them in 2009. A lot of airlines run aircraft that are 20 years old. With the US Navy we had the USS Kitty Hawk which was around from 1961 to 2009, or the USS Enterprise, which was commissioned in 1961, and is planned for decom in 2013.
It's not hard to believe that even more expensive ships in a space fleet would stay in service even longer with various upgrades here and there.
and i guesse people play the voices of the aliens in the game, check out this link i was looking to see if lance henrikson was up to anything cool and saw colonial marines at the top of the list and saw in the cast details there are voice actors for the aliens.......
wonder how this will turn out
