That's Winters (the player character) who is supposed to be injured, according to a preview.

Its just a rough screen mock up, because you will also notice that every Xeno is in the same exact pose.

lol yah I noticed that earlier too and thought that maybe it just had a blurry 88 or something.
Nah its not blurry 88, its just early model just with mirrored textures. You know in the first ever screens the ammo counter was on the "right" side.

In the screen with above the marines view, you can see that the ammo counter is mirrored. 99 is wrong

Hmm... You may be right. Im sure if GB is going to make this game Movie-MadeLike Aliens Game im sure they would have a full ammo counter at 95

Nicely noticed. That looks pretty badass. I wonder if appearance customization is gonna be in there too then.

Customization for weapons and Marines is already confirmed in.

For the Appearence i hope they allow us to Create 4 classes of marines of whatever we want, whats in the class, and how the marines look.

Ex. Changing the face, weight, height, etc...

Gearbox has added one of the print press kit shots used on the magazines to their press kit:

This game is looking better each time i look at these.

Im guessing to get the Crusher a facehugger needs to impregnate Arnold S. to get that species of Xeno.

The H.H sign should say "Hadleys Hope Pop. 4" XD

Anyone else surprised by how colourful the game is looking in the screenshots? I mean it's hardly "Mario Sunshine" but I was expecting the game to be washed out in that Cameron blue-tinge (which despite liking, I find to be find overused these days) but would welcome such lighting modifications to broaden the colour palette slightly and add a little diversity.

Well since their preview also says there is some kind of new giant alien I'd guess that queen attacking the powerloader is either a placeholder or from a different part of the game.

Shame they're not in-game screenshots. Still nice, though.
