New Aliens: Colonial Marines Images

[newbeing]

The WY soldier reminds me of the Alien Trilogy game. You fought WY goons with smart guns in that game too. So this angle of fighting both them and the aliens is nothing new, but I have nothing against it.

Well I certainly hope this time the Aliens attack the WY guys instead of ignoring them and both going after me.

While the WY mercenaries did look menacing in Alien3, the full extent of their abilities is never really seen since they are only ever shown shooting at unarmed convicts.  I'd love it if there was a standoff between the WY mercenaries and colonial marines in A:CM at one point. 

It would also be cool if you could play as a WY mercenary in multiplayer.

I actually wanted a game mode like that, marines one team, mercs the other, and AI aliens in between.

it looks like a normal alien with a flat semi-crown and two apendixes to it's sides. you can see it's a mutation from the regular alien, the lines from the cowl are still present. could be a developing queen, a praetorian, or both.

I see the resemblance:

The new alien kinda reminds me of the Carrier from AVP Extinction

I hope it is not a Praetorian, but something new.

Most Alien games have the exact same 8 enemies, but usually less:

facehugger - chestburster - warrior - runner (sometimes) drone (sometimes)- praetorian - predalien (sometimes) - queen.

Time for some new enemies, besides the crusher.

The Capcom AVP Arcade game and AVP Extinction added a LOT of new aliens, and that made it fun.

Aliens take traits from the host species, so the variety should be much more that human and dog born xenomorphs.

Anyone else notice the vampire teeth on the new alien?

If they make so much new aliens they will break the canon and people will laugh at GBX because they already said that they will stay in the canon.

That WY Merc looks sick, I wonder if they will have the WY Commandos from Alien 3 in it aswell.

So by that logic every movie after Alien wouldn't be considered canon?

Think of it this way, each of the Alien movies was around 2 hours long and introduced at least 1 new alien type. So it doesn't seem unreasonable that a game, which could run 8 hours would introduce 4 or more new Alien types. If there are really only 3 acts in the game I wouldn't be surprised if we're introduced to 1 or more new aliens per act.

IMO what we've seen really isn't stretching the canon all that far. Then again, the newborn kind of broke my grading curve. What a piece of shit that thing was.

nah HH survival isn't streching, not only canon, but also common sense all that far right

[szkoki]

Don't say that.

better yet. i'm gonna say this again, if there's a moment to dump all your complains and thoughts and ideas, it is now.

I agree. I am fine with new enemy types, as long as they aren't stretching it. I am hoping that Xeno in the pic is NOT a spider Xeno, but everytime I see it, thats what pops into my head.
