Aliens Colonial Marines Story Trailer

[Darkness]

IGN have just uploaded a new trailer for Aliens Colonial Marines. It starts off with Cpl Dwayne Hicks sending a transmission about LV-426 and the Captain explaining the mission to a group of marines. 

You’ll also spot Bishop in the middle of the trailer.

Ok this was awesome. Hicks! Bishop! Besides those characters the trailer showed that the game might have a really interesting story. This trailer makes me feel a lot better about the game. It was so cool.

im the only one who thinks the gfx get worse every time a new trailer releases?

on the other hand i love this trailer cool to see Hicks!  i cant wait for this Game!

Really nice trailer! but wait is that Hicks in 1:10 ? sure looks like him 

[Esoteric_Voyage]

oh my god.. i don't believe it..

it looks like Hicks is going to be alive and well in this story.

suggesting the company.. weyland yu-tani, boarded the sulaco and sabotaged it with the egg/aliens from LV-426. and whoever died with ripley as 'Hicks' was someone else.

at around 01:10, you see a man who's been masked with a bag over his face. this, i am sure is Hicks, its the same t shirt as what hicks is wearing in his video blog. and its also looking like the same arm bandage.

so the story will be based around some severe corruption going on in the company.. a nice shocking novelty, certainly matches up to the corruption we have found in the series.

i saw some very negative comments on IGN about voice acting and what not,i thought everything seemed fine. ?

Eh...

Wasn't really planning to play this for the story, anyways.

We'll see. Might turn out good.

im pretty certain that what this means for the story is:

weyland corporation sabotaged the sulaco while hicks, ripley and newt were in stassis. this will finally put to bed the 'plot hole' of alien 3's mystery egg. it can also put to bed any notion of a 'super face hugger' potentially. it might mean one hugger got to ripley and a 2nd one came on the EEV unit.

but since it appears that Hicks could very well be alive, it means weyland kept hicks alive, and put some other guy alongside bishop, newt and ripley in the EEV unit, and had him killed or disfigured before the crash.

weyland then took the sulaco to Furina 161 (whatverr the planet was called) staged the 'crash' and rerouted the sulaco back to LV-426. began its re-work on the planet again to study the alien ship. picked up ripley a week or so later back at furina.

weeks later, a battalion of the marine core is sent back to LV-426, in a bid by the company i assume, to create some more xenos maybe?

im sure im wrong here or there, but im sure that for the most part, that will be the story.

Why is Hicks pre-emptively stating he's KIA?

That is nonsensical and convoluted to Rube Goldberg standards.

can you share another interpretation?

Why is Hicks pre-emptively stating he's KIA?

maybe he simply didn't mean himself?
