The first Aliens Colonial Marines cam footage from E3 2012, showing alien and marine gameplay, have just arrived. The quality isn’t very good but the videos are definitely worth a look. Check them out below.
Update: A new video of Alien gameplay showing the Crusher has surfaced online.
The 'apparent' decision to not include the 'alien life-cycle' does disappoint me though. It's one of the first things you think of when you hear the word "xenomorph" and although it may have been tough to implement due to balance issues and the like; with a dedicated game mode for the 'life-cycle' I think they could have served the lore (and Aliens movie) well, thus satisfying those die-hard fans out there... just my 2 penneth .
How do they fit in those small cubby holes? Do their long tails hang out in the hallway? Do they become invisible? What happens when two xenos try to enter the same vent from opposite ends? Are they going to tag-team the wall with their banana heads?
You can use vents as short cuts to get from one room to another. You can see Xenos going in one vent and coming out of it in the next room in the videos.
I like this, the only let down from AVP3 is that the vent idea wasn't included in the multiplayer =/
Hallelujah!!! This is what had me the most disturbed from the "meh" E3 demo they showed last year, or whatever year it was. Well, that's one positive thing about this game that I can add to my list of pros and cons.
It was there for demo purpose. Sentrys can be placed anywhere, just need to be tactical about the position and where the Xenos are coming from
Ahhhh.....sweet!
In regards to red dots on the motion tracker - I think these are important for the casual player also. It has to be playable to the masses to make money.
It would be nice to have an option to make them all white for the die hards though. Sure it couldn't be that difficult to programme!!
That was from older footage and I know someone asked them about it and I believe that the blue outline was there for the sake of the demo and exists for casual players to know where to place the Turret but you can place it almost anywhere.
Shame you can't place the sentry guns where you want though. I see there's a blue outline of where you have to place it.
It does look very scripted, but for that immersive movie-canon feel.....it needs to be. It can't be a part of the canon, if everyone is getting different endings etc.
Can't decide whether to get this on PS3 or spend bucks on a top of the range gaming computer nearer the time!!
Girlfriend, social life....goodbye....hello Aliens: CM!!! Where have you been my whole life?!

I think huggers would have been awesome, abit like tickers in GOW
'Are you having playable facehuggers?'
'No we wanted to just concentrate on James Cameron's film'
Yeah, that film that has the most active and aggressive facehuggers in any film...
I remember some game doing that. Along with a movie.
Maybe they'll release it as DLC. Who knows. I'm not gonna' get mad about it until it's been absolutely confirmed by the game's multiplayer menu itself.
I didn't find his excuse for not having playable huggers terribly convincing. Just say "We wanted to concentrate on the adults" or something.
I hope that "secret" isn't the location of the xenomorph homeworld, if there is one.
And after Alien 3? So... Runner's confirmed?
No lifecycle mode for definite.
And apparently the internet will explode from the secrets in this game.
Well that sucks, because it's a confirmed mechanic
I hope this isn't the case! For a game that is supposedly "accurate" this would take me right out of it!
Still looking forward to it though
I agree.
This view for the Alien is good, i think AVP3 should have went down the same road.
Dude, what do you think those tubes at the back of the Aliens are? Trust vector nozzles.
I hope we see a runner type like from alien3. It could run fast.
I bloody hope he's not right!
I just don't think they shot that particular Xeno enough, or fast enough.
0:58 "So that's an instant kill and while you're doing that you can't die." Hmm. I'm not sure if I like that. Anyway a two hit kill from a xeno seems to be fair.

Hot DAMN that game looks amazing.
Good eye to catch that hiccup!
My God... Its almost like... Water dripping UPWARD... From a penis egg containing a giant spider looking pussy parasite that has acid for blood.
People need to understand how gravity works, seriously

The rest are on the first page.
Radiation aliens, boring Alien AI and an undestroyed colony are higher on my "annoying shit this game is doing" list
