Gamespot have given a few details away about the forthcoming Aliens FPS, developed by Gearbox:
“Development for the project is apparently well under way. “We’re working really hard on that right now,” said Pitchford… The executive also revealed some tidbits about the plot of the Aliens game, which is due on “next-gen platforms” in 2009. “Our game’s about becoming a Colonial Marine, and looking at it from the Colonial Marines’ perspective,” explained Pitchford. The Colonial Marines battled the acid-blooded xenomorphs in Aliens, and were a template for the troopers who fight alongside the Master Chief in the Halo games.”
The executive also mentions that some people from Gearbox have shared things with developers from Obsidian, who are making the Aliens RPG game. But the games are going in completely different directions. Thanks to MetroidMatt87 for the news.

That sounds really cool, all from "the Colonial Marines' perspective" - sounds excellent.
Could be interesting if they're both set within the same continuity.
2009! next gen consoles!? They wont be next gen at all in 2009. Really hope its coming out on pc and using havok or at least unreal 3 engine.
Awsome! Im on the front page! Yay for me! Anywho, hopin for PC release also, or at least on Wii (got it the first day, big N full supporter) and this game is sounding really friggin good.
sweet, finally some info on this
Yeah, hope it will be on PC. I think it will be.
Even though id prefer playing the console version. A PC version with a level editor would be great. Id definitley make a good few mods for it
Oh man, this sounds awesome, I loved the AVP games. Always thought they should do a AVP3.
@MetroidMatt: Don't expect it on the Wii.. at least the same version that will be on 360/PS3 as the Wii hardware is waaaaay to outdated. I'm a big N supporter aswell, but they lost me with the Wii :-\ Now a 360 gamer.. 8)
BAH NO ALIENS 1/5 4 storyline/roleplaying -_-'' hmm but i m stil guna buy da game ratings wil at least be like 8.7/10
The hive fight would be awsome for next-gen consoles as they could make it brill, the queen showdown would be one of the greatest boss battles and the vent sequence would be terryfiying! I hope they manage to pull off an aswome game so more alien games can be released (nop ressurection or alien 3!)
YOUR IDEAS ARE PREETY GOOD. ARE YOU A FAN OF ALIENS LIKE ME ?
As far as Alien games I think that we are due a decent game, as the last decent one was Avp 1 & 2. There is a need for decent alien games, not the ps1 resurrection tripe! Predator CJ was ok, but if they can make one that you get the oppresive atmosphere then it would be good. Only time will tell.
If it's not on PC, I will not be buying it.
I’m not in high hopes as with most movie franchisees they end up being total s**t. Dachane you hit the nail on the head, AVP 1 & 2 were really good games. I’ve always thought that if they were going to make a new AVP game, it would be nice to make it in the same style as Splinter Cell. It would be cool to actually see the entire predator when playing the game especially the light bending camouflage. Still if it follows the Aliens movie storyline it should be cool (I hope!)
dude if its not for pc ill just buy a ps3 or 360 cuz ifits in 09 it wont be as expensive!!!! game looks awesome though! like really frikkin awesome!
