Gearbox and Sega’s upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines videogame is the cover story of the latest issue of Games Master. The 6-page article features brand new (and kinda spoilerific) concept art pieces as well as some interesting bits about Weyland-Yutani’s role in the game. Click the image below to check out the magazine scans.
In related news, Sega has released a high quality screenshot today via Facebook. You can see it here.

The WY stasis tubes look like they're straight out of the second comic series.
And the 14 weeks post Alien3 is interesting when marrying it up with Infestation.

Quote from: HybridNewborn on Apr 27, 2012, 03:59:09 AMYes they do look different, as well as having different abilities. The lurker is designed like the giger alien from the first movie with a smooth dome head. The warriors have ridged heads like in the movie ALIENS; more health but less agility than the lurker.

Quote from: HybridNewborn on Apr 27, 2012, 04:08:18 AMThat's right. The lurker is supposed to be modeled after the alien from the first movie back in '79. (Giger's original design.)
So the Lurker is modeled after the xeno from Alien?
The alien warriors are modeled after the xenos seen in ALIENS. (Cameron design)
And of course, a new xeno called "The Crusher." (Original design by gearbox)
I suspect we will see even more than those types.

The only thing that gets to me is the whole ALIEN TUBES thing... How could there have been aliens on board the Sulaco before they landed on Hadley's Hope? None of Gorman's marines knew what they were up against.. But there were specimens on board? I'm hoping this will have some sort of logical explanation.
As for the mysterious egg in Alien 3, I think that was honestly just shitty shitty screenwriting. Not sure if it was Vincent Wards script that had that crap in it or not, but with the fiasco of a production that turned out to be.. I'm not left wondering how it got there, lol.
Think of it this way, the queen had an ovipositor that allowed it to lay eggs which she furiously ripped herself off of to chase Ripley, and sure, she could likely lay a single one as sort of a hive kick starter, but the other main problem is that once aboard the Sulaco she came out from her hiding spot on the dropship, chased Ripley for a few seconds, then chased Newt for like a minute tops, then spend the rest of her time fighting Ripley in the Power Loader... She literally didn't have time to lay the egg.
Anyhow, the main question is the one I'm most interested in because if this Is canon, it seems like one huuuuuge error. Meh. Can't wait to play the game tho!

I can't imagine many people will treat as canon to be honest.
There's around 45-50 minutes flight time from the planet to the Sulaco for the Queen to lay an egg. For what it's worth.
Pretty much every Alien3 script - not just Wards - had not-entirely-convincing ways of bringing the Aliens back.

I think that the story that GBX comes up with about the egg on Sulaco is as good as any other fan's theory. We need to take it as just that and not some official canonized interpretation about how the events tie together. GBX is, after all, a group of self-proclaimed fans of Aliens...just like most of the people on this board. They just also happen to be game developers that got the license to make a game like this.

The flight time is correct, but the egg was mounted in a corner inboard the Sulaco, not the APC.

We have seen one demo from E3 of very unpolished footage and that footage was not ripped directly from the campaign because it was meant to be a giant set piece to impress the audience. In the real game I don't think HH will look as intact as it did there.

Not sure because I only would like to visit LV-426 briefly and have the rest of the game be set else where.
Its probably because thats how Fox and or Sega wanted it to Gearbox built a story around it.
I think gearbox had the freedom to go in a different direction if the story was solid, but ultimately they decided to go with something safer for a canonical game.
This means we get to explore the derelict. The devs were allowed an early sneak peek of prometheus, so they couldn't resist focusing the game on LV-426 (and I don't blame them! The derelict is legend.)

The only thing that gets to me is the whole ALIEN TUBES thing... How could there have been aliens on board the Sulaco before they landed on Hadley's Hope? None of Gorman's marines knew what they were up against.. But there were specimens on board? I'm hoping this will have some sort of logical explanation.
As for the mysterious egg in Alien 3, I think that was honestly just shitty shitty screenwriting. Not sure if it was Vincent Wards script that had that crap in it or not, but with the fiasco of a production that turned out to be.. I'm not left wondering how it got there, lol.
Think of it this way, the queen had an ovipositor that allowed it to lay eggs which she furiously ripped herself off of to chase Ripley, and sure, she could likely lay a single one as sort of a hive kick starter, but the other main problem is that once aboard the Sulaco she came out from her hiding spot on the dropship, chased Ripley for a few seconds, then chased Newt for like a minute tops, then spend the rest of her time fighting Ripley in the Power Loader... She literally didn't have time to lay the egg.
Anyhow, the main question is the one I'm most interested in because if this Is canon, it seems like one huuuuuge error. Meh. Can't wait to play the game tho!
I think that the Xeno's are on the Sulaco because after Alien 3, WY brought it back to Archeron (LV-426) to discreetly and easily recover specimens (eggs) from the Derelict, without having to draw attention to itself by bringing a big cargo frighter to Archeron. Then WY grew them to maturity and put them in some form of stasis... and then they got out and all hell broke loose. And along comes the Sephora...

You better not be scoffing at Alien 3 - The Gun! It's teh canonz!
Just like Aliens Extermination with Alien Dragons in the teh coloneez!
Which blowns up again! But the Aliens crawling on the dropship at the end of Extermination might be how they get on the Sulaco!

lol,
it was a thermo nuclear explosion...therefore it is possible for the buildings as long as they are blastproof similar to a bunker (like most of the buildings in hadley's hope) the building would have remained intact....however all systems would have been fried and the map readout 'may' have had it's imaged burned onto the grass covering it.
The emense heat would have weakened but not melted the buildings. Probably :P

You talking about Ferro's dropship? Did it hit the colony, cause I thought it crashed on the LV-426 surface away from the colony ???

The aliens took up their hive in the atmosphere processor, so it was too hazardous to reinforce it with 'self repairing future metal'™ from the Derelict. Only HH was so reinforced.

Yes, multiple times. I'm sorry if I didn't memorize every scene down to the finest detail.

the dropship crashing against the AP is kind of a huge plot point which triggers the nuclear countdown.

I can understand the confusion. I consider the AP distinct from the colony.
I'm kind of curious why anyone would deem it worthwhile to live in LV-426? What was the Jorden family hoping to find? Why was LV-426 worth the expense of the AP?
I bet it had diamonds. Diamonds or gold.
