The Christmas issue of the Official Playstation Magazine (UK) is featuring a 3-page article on Aliens: Colonial Marines. It includes some tidbits and new screenshots of the game by Gearbox Software and Sega. Click below to see the scans in full.
Ha! Next, we're gonna have some deuce by the name of ULTIMATECoDFANBOY coming on here saying that Halo, Medal of Honour, and everything that is Alien and Predator based are straight up rip-offs of CoD- because it came out before everything.
I still don't understand the need for new xeno types We have a great variety of xeno specimens such as: drone, rigged warrior, runner, predalien, praetorian, queen, face-hugger and chest burster.
I should've been more specific. What I'm saying is that it's not born from the host like that, but it's an alien that was originally exposed to the nuclear fallout. In other words it's been effected by the radiation for so long to the point where it's literally falling apart.
f**k it I give up, I'm just giving it too much thought and I shouldn't care anymore with how ridiculous the game already is.
I thought that all living xenos were wiped out during the explosion.

I mean its organism is brand new from the host and its already rotten? What the hell FOX? You are insane motherf**kers really...

Mutation due the radiation. But thats bullshit you know. No one knows how the xenos' DNA will react to the radiation and is it going to mutate at all. FOX are making it like its human DNA and it will mutate for sure rofl...
Thing is even humans wouldn't mutate, they'd just be really, really f**ked up with hanging flesh, hair falling off, nails falling off. All that gooey nasty shit. If anything the suicide Alien is the first one we've seen that actually looks like it's been burned up/effected by radiation, and that would be cool for me...if it's attack wasn't killing itself.

How do they explain the evolution of these "new" Aliens? Fox claims this is official canon, etc, but this dumb stuff with suicide-Aliens and Alien acid spitting snipers is goofy. Good for video game villain variety (whew, that's a tongue twister) but uh..
Quote from: The Runner on Nov 23, 2012, 09:03:07 PM The aliens tail is all distorted in that picture. And why with the god dam double jointed legs and massive butcher blade tail and and meaty hands? So they can appear to look menacing and cooler? What happened to the hellish intelligent beast that resembled a twisted up human body?
Quote from: MR EL1M1NATOR on Nov 24, 2012, 02:03:33 AM Yeah, don't forget guys, this is the sequel we've all been waiting for. Remember when you talked with friends about Aliens and they said, "man, I can't wait till they do a sequel where another group of marines go to the same planet and we get to see what happened in the previous film"
I guess that's essentially what this is. None of the story aside from this has been revealed so far. You go back and... go inexplicably go through the same thing. Plus Bishop leg cameo.

Remember when you talked with friends about Aliens and they said, "man, I can't wait till they do a sequel where another group of marines go to the same planet and we get to see what happened in the previous film" I've gone from 'I will buy this game because it looks good to, i'll buy this game because I am a fan of aliens to, I am not buying this game.
I am a big fan of aliens is why I am still following forums related to the game.
Besides the changes to the lower half of the body for gameplay purposes, the warrior alien in A:CM is the best looking alien I have seen in any game yet. Really looking forward to the classic aliens in this game.
No....THEY ARE GOING TO ADD PROMETHESHIT, NO NO NO.
That was exactly how I reacted. Can't withstand much fire? What a bunch of BS.
Every time GBX shows off a new build, many of the problems with previous versions still exist. Whether it's gameplay, animations, graphics, or sound. And with GBX constantly emphasizing authenticity, then seeing how much they're actually screwing up canon-wise... I just don't know. Sometimes I wonder if they've even seen the films.
I guess they butchered it so it would overlap the image onto the white border for the magazine.

They did a really poor job of chopping up the picture of the warrior alien on the second page. Was that done on purpose? You can see by the right arm that it's multiple images overlayed, as well as around the shoulder/chest area and the tail segment that reaches beyond the image border as if a child made this with scissors and a glue stick.
It's so bad I wonder if it was intentional, but then why?
Course. To be fair, it hardly scratched Pitchford's itch (Get that checked out!) the way he likes it. No direct ALIENS references or anything.
Although the dreams of Newt were interesting concepts (I recall an unfilmed scene where Ripley 8 dreams of a little girl being engulfed by a swarm of black insects...now that I think of it, isn't that how the sacrificial engineer went out in Spaight's script?)
Quote from: Predaker on Nov 24, 2012, 12:07:53 AM It's a reference to wanting more Colonial Marine action but never getting any from Alien3 so it's been 20 years in the making, figuratively speaking.
Are they ignoring Alien Resurrection? Because it should be more like 15 years in the making.
Damn it X-Box Magazine...can't even get their math right. Maybe it's a joke? Like that it FEELS like 20 years in the making, yeah that has to be it, lolololol X-Box Magazine, I get it now lolololol.
Not to dig on A3 but when it came out in 1992 it didn't scratch that "itch" for the fans who wanted to see more Colonial Marines, so we have been waiting ever since.

Quote from: Byohzrd on Nov 23, 2012, 08:20:11 PM the game STILL has problems after YEARS of delay, and Gearbox still has the nerve to talk about how awesome this game is going to be. -____- they really are the most self-absorbed company i've ever heard of.
We definitely need another delay, I'd want it to be delayed for at least another year in order to just tune this f**ker up, because they've had so many months since the last delay and it looks like they've done nothing. They should stop with showing this game in so many conventions and whatnot, and just work on the damn game.

Still have this bad boy somewhere in a box. Possibly one of the few toys I have that is not missing something.
Last year. I believe when the Crusher was revealed.

Or how about Aliens with inflatable sacs on their heads that fill with hot air and allow them to float away.
Or how about an Alien with a shootable tail blade, that regrows within a minute.
Or how about an Alien with a bunch of blades on top of it's head.

Lol
So you're basically assuming the worse story ever based on the logic from one line of a press release. Did you read the f**king articles?
Try this one,

getting sick of the trolling.

jim cameron made aliens! thats what happened

The AVP2 model was better then A:CM. IMO.

Nice cover.
Alternate cover
Where's my Runner skin?
They've had plenty of time to do that, and would have finished by now if it wasn't for them setting up demos for people to play.
