QuoteSEGA AND GEARBOX'S ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES NO LONGER MISSING IN ACTION, TO DEPLOY SPRING 2012
You and Your Friends Against the Deadliest Killers in the Galaxy, Catch a First Look at E3 2011
"It'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night...mostly." LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (June 1, 2011) –SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that the highly-anticipated first-person shooter, Aliens: Colonial Marines™, will be launching in spring 2012 on PC, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. In partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising and developed by critically acclaimed studio Gearbox Software, Aliens: Colonial Marines will bring new levels of bone-chilling suspense and adrenaline-filled action to the renowned franchise. The game pits players against the universe's ultimate alien killing machines, the Xenomorphs, in claustrophobic environments guaranteed to produce blood curdling thrills that the movie is renowned for. A first look of the game is presented in the South Hall at SEGA's booth # 2023, at next week's E3 in Los Angeles.
"To Gearbox Software and its peers throughout the industry, Aliens is one of the most influential science fiction properties of all time," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "Aliens: Colonial Marines, designed as an interactive successor to the landmark films from 20th Century Fox and Directors Ridley Scott and James Cameron, is a dream project to which our studio is deeply committed and passionate about."
"Aliens: Colonial Marines will be THE definitive Aliens gaming experience," said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA of America. "Gearbox Software are doing a brilliant job translating the thrill and horror that Aliens stands for into an action-packed shooter experience with co-operative gameplay at its core."
Aliens: Colonial Marines begins with an ostensibly abandoned ship, the U.S.S. Sulaco, recovered in orbit around LV-426. Players lead a group of highly trained United States Colonial Marines as they board the deserted craft to uncover the fate of the crew. They will have to fight to survive unspeakable horrors and their own anxieties as they chase down the truth behind a galaxy-spanning deception that places humanity at the mercy of the most murderous and deadly species in the universe. Aliens: Colonial Marines features authentic environments, such as the surface of LV-426 and Hadley's Hope, weapons inspired by the film series and is designed to provide an exhilarating and engaging new chapter in the Aliens universe.
Aliens: Colonial Marines will be available spring 2012 on PlayStation®3, Xbox 360 and PC. The game is also on display in the South Hall at SEGA's booth # 2032, at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles

Nice touch on Ripley's birthdate: Jan 7th, 2092, just as in the original character profile :D
Yeah, nice to see something from this game!
Iz all good bebe bebee!

Oh shit man. I am so ready for this. E3 can't come any faster.
It's coming in, I feel safer already...

Oh god that GIF is the best.
That trailer is better.
Something about the combination of music and referring to the characters by name (Bishop's legs!) has got me way more psyched for this than I expected. Gonna go out and play some Five Finger Fillet.
f**k ya Aliens
The Tricycle is a nice touch.
f**kf**kf**kf**kf**kf**k
here's on youtube
[EDIT]
oh, goddamnit.
I... wow. Great f**king trailer. Love the silhouette, but the beginning is just... amazing.
the only thing im unsure is the Alien model. it's exactly the same as AVP2010.

Xeno_killer from the Gearbox forums found it. :)
Send him Roses. now i'm gonna try several other names, maybe there's other hidden things.
That was clever. IP address and password were in the trailer.
I think I just weed a little. It's about motherf**king time!
Pissed off their ship is the same as my "currently-and-forever-been-in-development" Aliens virtual series. Sephora.
Oh my. One of the best teaser trailers i've ever seen. Great mix of music and creepy ass noises.
This is so f**king exciting!!! :o Spring 2012 seems so far away.
I'm sure Gearbox will deliver. Bring it on! ;D
Wow is just below duke nukem for longest developed game?
I rather them delay it even more and just release it for the next gen consoles.
That trailer has me pumped for this
Things i noticed in the trailer:
At exactly 01:18 you can see a dropship in a hanger that looks ike its about to launch.
At 00:57 you can see the names of the marines in the squad there's 7 apparently.
Yay! Finally. :)
Insane. Loved the teaser!
some names at 0.55 mark, might be the names of the marines you play or interact with.
Winter
Cruz
Oneal
Bella
Reid
Monday.

This is fantastic!
I swear i heard abit of gorman in that trailer XD Awesome stuff man cannot wait, this is going to be so good. Had it pre orderd for years now :P The last part reminded me of AVP3 graphics tho but it is still a must have.
Cool.
That was beautiful. I need to get that game. I can not wait.
How much you wanna bet the Marine we see in the wall is Hudson?
And I assume the idea is the aliens grabbed a bunch of eggs and moved them somewhere safe...ish.
Unless there's another Queen but I doubt they would try doing that.

He didn't have his helmet on (Guy on the wall seems to be wearing one) when the Xenos took him, so I doubt it's him, lol!
Speaking of the guy on the wall, is it just me or does that area look like it doesn't have any textures?
We're on express elevator to hell, goin down! 8)

Nah. Huddy got KFC'd like the rest, unless he grabbed the hamsters and ran.
It's going to be interesting to see how they'll handle the settings. Apart from the Sulaco the only 'authentic environment' left from
Aliens should be a vapour cloud the size of Nebraska.
Yeah.... Who knows.
I'm sure the people they paid to come up with something came up with something.
Hopefully a good something.
I Felt it move.
9 months is gonna be a long wait ladies.

And adding another 9 months on top of it doesn't help, just saying. Either way I'm glad I saw proof of life today.
Who's gonna get this game for PS3!!! This is gonan be better than AvP 2010, it has better potential and wait till Corporal Hicks(the AvPG Mod) plays this. He's gonna relive the nightmare lOL!

I'll probably be getting it for PS3.
Holy shit this is kinda surreal. All these years and its finally coming to pass.
feels good man. Feels REALLY f**king good.
Im definately getting it on the 360 and if it is as good as I have put it in my mind I might get it for the PS3 later as well...And Im definately getting the giant special edition no matter whats in it.
I can't wait for this to come out!
This kicks too much ass, holy shit, this really made my day! Hadleys Hope is a little too clean for such a huge explosion, but Im going to assume that will be explained. So far, this is the cherry on top for all the teasers we've been getting.
;D
Well that was nice to wake up to.
Gonna be schweeet!
f**kin' a Gearbox has been kicking my ass lately DNF and now ACM? Damn life can be sweeeet! :laugh:
Hadley's Hope looks a little too intact for what I imagined it would look like at the end of Aliens. This could potentially be the source of a major error in the plot line/design of the game. I hope everything is explained well...I'd hate to be left scratching my head in the same way I did the first time I saw Alien3.
Regardless, it seems like a lot of care and detail has already gone into the game. At the very least, I'm already looking forward to a very interesting product from GBX.

Yes yesssss... E3 shall make me pee self. Notice the sights on the pulse rifle? That's cause real marines AIM, ladies!!! Plus, even if they completely nerf the story, I would swallow it just to play a great Aliens game in Hadley's Hope.
They could dump the bodies and make up any story they like, for all I care.
This trailer rock!!!!
I see that the copyright in official site are including alien ,aliens and alien3. :o May be we might get dog alien in this?
Just to let you know, there would be no colony facility left. Plus the planet would be irradiated, and unihabitable. What a waste of time for this game.

I'm going to assume they but in A3 since that plot should be mentioned in this story, since Alien 3 happened before the game. Also, not sure about runners. I doubt any dogs survived the explosion, and I doubt the marines would bring dogs. Who knows though.

I'm guessing the xenos won't be afraid of a little radiation..
And marines aren't planning to build vacation houses.
Marines with gas masks would be pretty badass.

Using the same crappy models like in AVP 2010 = FAILURE!!
Common guys, do you wanna s**t us. Total disappointment!
Not liking the name Sephora too much though. If they used a Joseph Conrad reference, that would have absolutely 110% sealed the deal for me. Cmon, AvP3 got the Marlow as a Conrad reference.

Not liking the name Sephora too much though. If they used a Joseph Conrad reference, that would have absolutely 110% sealed the deal for me. Cmon, AvP3 got the Marlow as a Conrad reference.
...and that's just about all AVP2010 got.

AVP2010 was pretty cool but ACM is the real "bread n butter" of the aliens universe imo.
I thought the Aliens in AvP looked pretty good. It was that whole rest of the game thing that bothered me. :)
Matter of fact, that's the only reason I still play. The graphics are superb, I go into the hive and run around dying over and over. Beautiful, sweet facehugging death.
I'm just notice the AvP 2010 alien tail...
???
Umm...no offense guys, but I think you're all getting your hopes up for nothing. I honestly don't see anything in that trailer to suggest that this is anything to get overly excited about. Frankly, it doesn't look any better than AvP2010 (and that isn't saying much).
I mean...this is SEGA, folks. Are your memories really that short?
After leaving this project in limbo for countless years, they're now going to force GearBox to get it done quick and throw it out on the shelves in time to capitalize on Ridley's prequel. I suspect it will suffer from the same lack of polish that plagued AvP, but they'll still cash in on all the fanboys and then pull support after 90 days.
Another quick buck, and another insult to the franchise.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Pass.
Maybe I'll pick it up from the $9.99 bargain bin three months after its release.
The moral:
If the fans of these franchises really want better games, we need to start being more critical. Stop shelling out your money for anything they throw on the shelf. Frankly, if this (rather simplistic) trailer was enough to make you start fondling your wallet...yeesh. I guess we'll never have an Aliens (or Predator) game with the production values of say, Bioshock.
So I definitely will not be pre-ordering this one.
Prove me wrong, SEGA.

People keep on saying ACM is gonna blow AVP3 out of the water...
what makes you all so sure? From the looks of the teaser trailer it looks just like AVP3 :D

The voice of reason. I do like your logic, and I say... you're right.
But I don't know how you could get fans to be more critical then they have been about AvP 2010 :D Have you read any of the forums? Holy cow, it almost gets violent.
I have to admit it's an optimistic viewpoint, but I believe SEGA knows they dicked up with AvP 2010, and won't do it again. I mean, why make a quick buck then screw your customers when you can make a quick buck then keep making bucks for 5+ years due to a great game? Look at any successful modern game (read: Call of Duty series) and it's obvious that the better games pay waaaay above and beyond the ones that don't keep people playing. Quality wins in this business, in the long run, which gives me hope.
Also, Gearbox has their own reputation to worry about. They seem to be a very solid game company and I don't think they'll let SEGA push them into releasing a sub-standard product. I think they have enough clout to do what they need to do to release a successful, well-done game. This is only my speculation from the evidence available, but that be it!
its game time sucks that its gonna take a year though
Quote from: locusta on Jun 01, 2011, 08:37:19 PM
Using the same crappy models like in AVP 2010 = FAILURE!!
Common guys, do you wanna s**t us. Total disappointment!
Kinda irked me too. But honestly the AVP3 alien was pretty good visually. Its how the acted that sucked.
I can live with the dumb fin tail that for some reason just WONT go away as long as they can make the xenos formidable.
Design looked way cooler at the end of the extended trailer. All oily like in the movie. Snap-snap.
If the thing is behaving right I'll be too palm-sweaty and jittery to notice the dumb tail.

Finally, this has happened. The game that brought me to this site, that introduced me to all of you wonderful people, is finally coming. I don't care what some people are saying, I have a great feeling about this. I haven't played much by Gearbox, but what little I have, I've enjoyed thoroughly. Those guys know their shit.

Pop quiz, when was A:CM first announced/suspended? I know it was pre-2003, oldy old... My friend and I actually wrote a letter to the developers talking about the success of Halo and the necessity for co-op in A:CM. Then it was cancelled for a few presidential terms. We credit ourselves :D but regardless, oh the joy. Joy.
I liked how the Alien looked in that trailer. Didn't really notice that fin-tail. What I did notice was the disturbingly feminine shape. Bringing back the old psychosexuality is always good.
That was a completely different A:CM.
This A:CM was officially announced in 2006.

Didn't notice that until now. :o It is pretty disturbing the more I look at it.
When I saw that Alien stand up, a smile went across my face, and chill descended my spine.

I think if a cock roach could survive radiation so could a Xenomorph. Obviously a Xeno may not be able to survive the nuclear blast unless it was far away.

...my thoughts exactly.
I remember hearing that both the Winston and Giger Aliens would be appearing in this game (or at least something comparable to each). I'm really hoping for that.
I keep watching the trailer over and over again.... wow... :'(
Its pure epic in video form.
That's it!? No wonder why they call it a teaser preview! lol It sounds and looks pretty good.

I'll likely buy the top one, even if the game is shelved like AVP3 I'll still get some nice stuff.

The hands are different as is the mouth and the arms look much more like the movies, you can see them a bit more clearly in the last few caps and also the back tubes are also more straight and dont stick out as much.
I'm probably wrong but honestly, it looks like they made a different model but It's too dark to tell and the AVP3 one too much like an Aliens alien to tell.
I feel I will be quickly disproven though.
*sits back and grabs popcorn*
It is a different model, with a few similarities.
About damn time.
Now I'm even more excited for E3.
1:24 on the video reminds me of AVP a little too much :-\
I'm gonna call it right now.

Those Aliens in the screens Fitz posted actually look scary, I think it's the lips. One thing I missed from AvP2010.
So, if they're suggesting that big bits of Hadley's Hope survived, is it possible to think that the cocooned dude in the extended trailer might be Hudson?
That'd be a bit special.

I suspect it will suffer from the same lack of polish that plagued AvP, but they'll still cash in on all the fanboys and then pull support after 90 days.
Another quick buck, and another insult to the franchise.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Pass.
Maybe I'll pick it up from the $9.99 bargain bin three months after its release.
The moral:
If the fans of these franchises really want better games, we need to start being more critical. Stop shelling out your money for anything they throw on the shelf. Frankly, if this (rather simplistic) trailer was enough to make you start fondling your wallet...yeesh. I guess we'll never have an Aliens (or Predator) game with the production values of say, Bioshock.
So I definitely will not be pre-ordering this one.
Prove me wrong, SEGA.
OR, you could just wait for the reviews and not worry about it.
To throw money at it at this stage is pretty bonkers, sure - but to be optimistic? That's just nice human nature. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever.
It has been such a long time coming, people are just happy that it is still alive. You are right to be cautious, but I think everyone deserves a few minutes of "YESSSSS!" before they start worrying.
I am fairly confident that Gearbox will give us a game that we have all been expecting for ages, i mean come on! WE GET TO GO BACK TO HADLEYS HOPE! (Even though it's in like a Bajillion bits but f**k it) I am happy that we are getting another Aliens game that throws back some cameo's and references to everyones favourite film. I mean come on, look at what they did for the big reveal, sending out Newt doll's and Pulse Rifles! Any other kind of company could have simply have said "Come look at our stall at E3 2011." But they got everyone hyped with the way they did it. I have all faith in Gearbox that they will create an epic game that will suit everyone's tastes.
Here's an alternate version of that background if anyone's interested.

At least they fixed the shoulders, but I'm pretty stoked now. It looks better than AvP in terms of art direction, and I sure as hell wouldn't mind an AvP looking like this. I hope I don't offend anyone here, but it DID remind me of AVP2 to some degree, only far better looking. I'd pay for an AvP2 remake in this style.

People keep on saying ACM is gonna blow AVP3 out of the water...
what makes you all so sure? From the looks of the teaser trailer it looks just like AVP3 :D
-crouch
-artdirection
-consistency
-coop
-development about twice the length, even though put on hold in favor for Borderland and DNF, it is a sign more thorough development, whereas avp felt rushed at places, something I blame Sega more for than I do blame Rebellion.
That, and out of the two, gearbox is the one with a more consistent track record when it comes to scoring...
Yeah co-op in this game is gonna be ridiculously awsome, cant wait for gearbox to show it off at E3. You think they are gonna have some kind of survivor mode like AVP2010?
Lol sure hope not.
Quote from: Brother on Jun 02, 2011, 12:41:30 PM
Lol sure hope not.
Why not? 4 or more friends taking on waves n' waves of xenos, what could be more fun than that? Well maybe not exactley like the mode in AvP2010 but close to it and have f#$kin respawns.

i'd say earnable end of wave respawns or at least being able to physically revive downed players.
I want to see Killing Floor wave style rip off. After every wave it becomes harder but between each wave we can restock, build up the barricades again, setup/"feed" with ammo the sentry guns etc.

Does Gearbox used the same aliens modles as in AVP???

Hey, I was looking at Ikarops caps on the first page and then looked at the picture of an Alien from AVP3 on page 7 and guess what I see? Different models.

I'm probably wrong but honestly, it looks like they made a different model but It's too dark to tell and the AVP3 one too much like an Aliens alien to tell.
I feel I will be quickly disproven though.

As much as I love the Aliens in AvP'10, I'd say these look even better, and as someone said before: rather feminine, which is great IMO.
the tail seens to be the same as AVP 2010, i really wanted to see it equal to the aliens movie
Yeah, that shot was pretty epic.
And I have to wonder how the MP is going to work. It wont be co-op purely. There must be an Aliens vs Marines multiplayer.
Finally! Can't wait to actually get my hands on this game.
In the trailer at second 59 it says A:CM
Is that meant to mean Aliens:Colonial Marines.
Yeap. :)
And next the A:CM it says a name of someone, is that possibly going to be the name the main character or something?

EDIT: Nah, false alarm ! :D

I think the Aliens went and relocated to that spot we saw in the trailer and left the Queen until it was all ready, then those three aliens we saw guarding her would have led her to the others but they ran out of time.
If the game plays out like that then Hudson would have been taken to the new hive.

Looks nice and creepy
All this time making the game and THIS is the voice acting? Lame. ALSO, the aliens crawling around on the ground is S$%tT. They look too small imho. Sorry just my opinion.

yea i didnt get to enjoy this great trailer because i was blinded by rage by seeing the tail have that stupid f**king crocodile thing woodruff and gilis put on the ressurection aliens and the avp ones :/ f**kin better change it to the giger tail or ill be pissed
The very first time I watched the trailer and heard the actors, there were two faces in my head - Apone and Hicks.
Sometimes a tail is just a tail.

Sure the warrior design could use some work to make it more accurate to the movie like everything else is. But from the few very brief clips, I think they really captured the atmosphere of the movie. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. They're definitely on the right track for delivering a Cameron-esque Aliens sequel in game form.
What specifically Le Celticant didn't you like the look of, other than the warrior design?
Hadley's Hope Command Centre Partially destroyed looks... :-\ disappointed.
The daily sunlight that is common to wide open environment seen in AVP 2010 is just sooooooo far from the cameronesque/original alien vision with dark clouds which does not allow the lights to penetrates the atmosphere and put a nice night looking even in full day (ya know, it makes you feel you're on an Alien planet...)
The way the xenomorph is crawling (LAWLZ AVP + AVP-R inspiration) which already lead me to the conclusion the action will be more about bullet round firing straight at aliens coming from the opposite of the corridor than having one thing still, using it's stealth to get you from above or wherever and where survival is about care more than the rounds you have in your pulse rifle and when facing an Alien is a real action because ya need to take it down quick after having your heart attack rather than shooting it 10 meters away.
The way the xenomorph jumps at you to makes you fall, cool cinematic AVP/AVP-R powa canon wazaaaaa dadadadaland thing.
You should know... an Alien game ::) not an AVP like game that just take the aliens and cool elements from the USCM.

I think you are speculating and filling in the grey areas with your own doubt a bit too much there.
We haven't seen actual game-play yet. We have no idea how the combat will look and feel.
I'm also sure we will see the otherworldly cloudy darkness of LV-426. There is still lots of time and iteration to be done. And maybe the nearby nuclear explosion has effected the way that particular region looks. *shrugs*
QuoteI think you are speculating and filling in the grey areas with your own doubt a bit too much there.
I hope, I really do hope you're right.
But FOX previous movies and game taught me something:
When you think it's bad from a teaser, you're actually far from imagining how bad it is (i.e. AVP (2004), AVP-R & AVP 2010 game).
And you may like gearbox, you don't have to forget that SEGA and fox are the boss.
If they say they want an action bullet stupid game, gearbox will make it, it's called contract or money, as you prefer.
Gotta say I'm a bit concerned they removed the 5th "dorsal spine" and are giving them the animalistic hind legs (AGAIN!). I hope that don't have them moving primarily on all-four legs again either, like they show in the trailer. :( ...and the tail... what the hell, GB? :-[ What happened to the Alien Warrior models used in the older A:CM screens? :-\
GB is still set on making this "THE" authentic Aliens experience, right? If so, these points shouldn't even be an issue. Unless it's Sega... AGAIN. >:(
Dude, it's almost as if people would rather have nothing than a trailer with this particular alien model in it. I for one thought the alien looked good, and could really give a flying crap about the tail as long as the game is fun. You're only going to see it for two seconds anyway, if at all, before you DIE haters!
I'm sure they'll change the tail, it would probably take 20 minutes to do. I mean seriously, we saw around a minute of narraration, some graphics and possible cutscenes of a game that's not even in beta yet.
They probably did it to demonstrate to the development team the anal/neurotic/unstable qualities of the A/P fanbase :D so that they would understand what they were getting themselves into attempting to do anything with the alien, at all, ever.
It worked.
20 minutes? Wow, if I could work that fast with 3DS max, I'll let you know :D
They actually did it for marketing / promotional purpose which should be reflective of the product.
If not you can freely try to attack their product and since they do not want that, they show what they've got.
Remember AVP 2010 by the way? Well they show us things 6 months before it came out.
What changed 6 months after? They did not do colour gradient with Adobe After Effect to fake-ish the colours.
QuoteThey probably did it to demonstrate to the development team the anal/neurotic/unstable qualities of the A/P fanbase :D so that they would understand what they were getting themselves into attempting to do anything with the alien, at all, ever.
They did it because there is E3, because it's a very clever move to make the promotion of the game, because it'll increase the excitation, because it'll make sale and because they'll earn plenty of money.
And MOST OF ALL, they don't care about fans. No matters how high are your hope with Gearbox, It's SEGA who runs the thing, it's SEGA the brain and GEARBOX unfortunately has no power in their hand.
I thought you would have learn it since AVP 2010. It's nice to have hope, sure.
nobody bitched this much when we were showed the stiff-ass motion tracker and f**ked up pulse rifle killing an alien crawling exactly like this in the 11 second leaked gameplay last year.

I did.
Most people weren't warned of what Next Gen Alien/Predator game could look like (apart PCJ and some minor games it has almost been 9 years since the last solid title).
Now we know what to expect from SEGA, but some want to remain in their little bubble world thinking it's gonna be never seen before which I can't get.
You guys do realise we've seen faaaaar too little to judge it, right?

I love the trailer! I like the Alien design, especially the tail. Makes it look more lethal. I just hope they behave right, I don't want Aliens to appear out of nowhere and chase their tails. :-X
Since this game's based on the film, it means, we won't get to see a Praetorian?
Or an Alien Queen?
Any kind of tough boss or something? ???
Why wouldn't we see a Queen?
They've stated in the past that they were going to introduce Aliens from the movies and a few possible creations of their own.
^This.
Originally GB had set out to make A:CM an extremely authentic Aliens experience. THE Aliens experience, even. By changing the Alien Warrior's design to anything other than how they were portrayed in "Aliens", it automatically diminishes the game's authentic Aliens feel. Which is a very crucial aspect, I might add.
More importantly, people WANT the classic bad ass, monstrous 8' Alien design they know and love from "Aliens". Not the 6' small, wimpy lol-ien with the animal-like legs and wonky tail we've been stuck with for the past decade. :-[
The kicker is this: GB already had a very accurately detailed "Aliens" Alien Warrior model they were using for some A:CM screenshots they released a couple years ago. The design wasn't 100% accurate, but it was damned close and it was still a work in progress, anyway. I want to know what the hell happened to it? If somebody says, "It's because of Sega..." I'm gathering a posse and going on a rampage. >:( Enough of this BS already. :(
Despite these issues, I agree the trailer was pretty bad ass. :)
These Xenos look very accurate to the ones in ALIENS other than the legs and tail. They are much better than what we saw in AvP3 and anything else in a game.

You don't even get to see any xenomorphs for more than a few moments in Aliens. If you did get to look at it long enough, it would begin to look like a man in a suit.
The xenos in A:CM look fine enough to me. AVP2010 did a good job on their xenos as well.
GB got the head and face right, that's for sure. :D It looks great.
@Ash 937: The definitive comparison you could accurately use would be the large 8' puppet Cameron and his team used for certain scenes. Naturally, 5-6' tall people in suits can only do so much to convey the creature.
Why Cameron didn't employ tall actors like the chap who played the Alien in the first film is unclear. Most likely it was simply easier (and cheaper) to use the people he already had and just put them in suits while using a more detailed and accurately scaled puppet to supplement them.
I'm all for low expectations ;D but honestly, if the models are the biggest problem with the game, we'll have a huge success. I really liked the AvP 2010 models, despite them not being Aliens-like, but the rest of the game failed enough to kill it. Do we even get to see an alien tail in Aliens? I cant remember one, just the Parker-smacking, Lambert-raping Kane's son tail from Alien, tee hee.
I don't know how much control SEGA has, I guess I should do some more research. I dislike them as much as anybody, but how many times can they dick up the same product before Fox doesnt allow them to license it anymore? The business side of things has to matter, they dont have endless $$. If this game fails, it won't be Gearbox's fault becuase so far they've made great games. It doesn't add up.

That said, I can't say the design really bothers me. I don't mind the tails.
The tails are the ONLY thing that bothers me. Obviously if they could I would want the designs to be AS close to the ALIENS designs as possible but that may not even be possible itself for known reasons.

Really?
That's why? Are you sure? Seems unnecessary to use acrobats and dancers given what we saw them actually do in the film. :-\
If what you're saying is true, it would've been better if he just to found some tall, physically fit people and use them instead. Of course, there would still be scenes where the puppets would've been more ideal to use.
the dancers knew how to move swiftly in costumes, if they hadn't got trained performed the aliens would have looked just like in AvP:R.
and you call THIS short?

That's a big motha. Was Kane's son that tall?
nope. Kane's son was bulkier.

i think it's because the suit was a little looser, it had much more details and weighted more. the aliens ones were skin tight latex with simplified decals and paint scheme, and with less animatronics on the head. they used the puppets for that.

THAT is the puppet! :D Note the support straps and the elongated limbs & torso. And it doesn't take dancers and acrobats to pull off the same kinda stunts in suits. lol

Correct. They used lighting (or should I say a lack thereof) and clever camera movement & editing to conceal it as best as possible.
that's the one that's shown the most, though.
And for good reason. :)
Are you complaining that James Cameron didn't want to waste money buying a basket ball team to portray themselves at monsters in a movie?

That's the 5'10" tall stunt man Eddie Powell who played the alien in a lot of scenes, not Bolaji Badejo.

I believe he is.
Which seems kinda pointless, considering they look big
in the film. Which is the only thing that counts.
movement is more important than scale in that context.. I would like to have seen some 6'10" actors play aliens in some scenes though...

I would LOVE it if the aliens looked like guys in suits/ puppets in the game... That would be avant-guard accurate and I'm not kidding. CGI tends to embellish movement to a fault to where it looses it's visceral edge.

Yes it does and I try to ignore it on the last scene... I wish they had trained Badejo for that one stunt... Also, I guess he wouldn't fit in the air duct? OK, i cant start on this path or i will not enjoy my next viewing to the fullest.

It's going to be interesting to see how they'll handle the settings. Apart from the Sulaco the only 'authentic environment' left from Aliens should be a vapour cloud the size of Nebraska.
I have to agree unfortunately... I am watching aliens to celebrate and Hudson has no helmet on when he is taken.

Sorry bud, would have been cool...
On a different topic I don't get why all this fuss is being made about the tail when if anything it looks like a scaled down version of the queen's. Granted slightly different shape but I think it works fine with rest of the design.
I just don't understand why they can't just keep the Giger tail or the Alien warrior tail we saw in Aliens, and don't get me started on the hands.
Let's just be glad they didn't go with the tail from the original painting. I am looking at the queen's tail being shoved through bishop and it is almost identical to the one on the alien in the trailer so they are staying true to the movies even with that design. I'm sure some other galaxy users have spotted this too.

What are you talking about?
We are complaining about the tail fins which did not exist until A:R.
I don't mind tail fins if done right. The AvP, AvP-R and A:R tailfins are bluntly too big and floppy, while a sharper shape and smaller fin would work just fine IMO.
Nobody has mentioned the A:R back spines.... It's not that I'm not gonna want to play this game, it's just they are soooo close to a perfect aliens game for the first time ever and they don't go all the way...
1. Better or very little voice acting done by actors that don't do video games...
2. insect like movement instead of panther/jungle boy grace.
3. design accurate to the film they are basing the game on.
4. no crawling on the ground./ in wide open spaces/ broad daylight
5. single player mode without being followed around by ai marines shooting what you are aiming at/ getting in your way.
Other than that stuff it looks pretty dang exciting. :laugh:

Squad Based shooter like the Brothers in Arms games. Emphasis on
squad. Unless what you meant was that the Marine A.I. should be great then yes I agree.

i think he means that they select their own targets to be more effective.
I don't understand what he means by insect movement instead of panther grace... Xenos are supposed to be swift and intimidating so it should be like a combination of those two.
I understand, I HATE the alien movement in AvP films, they look like cats to me. In the first two films, they move more like people which is how they should move. Even in Aliens, when they're crawling around and jumping off walls, they really have that humanoid feel, not like some big cat. That makes them less scary, less Alien and more, well, big cat. :)

They still had their issues. The feet (not legs... Feet) need worked, the shoulders and arms needed work, the tail spike/blade was a bit too big, the heads needed work, their color was WAY off.
The new ones basically need work on the tail and legs.
The older models had the normal-humanoid legs and dinosaur-like feet; I just noticed. :o
Apart from the much-preferred tails and legs, the Aliens looked bland, though.
The older screenshots also show them mostly in bipedal stances, while the trailer, kinda mixes them, like AvP2010 did.
I like the new models, though..
Somewhat. :-\

Agreed. But I still feel they were much closer to the "Aliens" design than these new ones. Like I said, they were still a work in progress. The design of the new ones make GB look like they took five steps forward and eight steps back. :-\
In addition to the tail and legs, the new ones need the arms reworked and GB need to re-implement the 5th dorsal spine. The way the Alien moved in the trailer also has me a bit concerned. Definitely not like how they were in "Aliens". I sure hope they aren't going to be moving primarily on "all fours". Especially like how the one was shown. Also, I couldn't quite tell for sure, but the Alien in the trailer looked too small. *facepalm*
I suppose we'll find out what we need to know next week.
Maybe it looked small because the only footage we saw has it going on all fours without it standing up in the players face (the silhouette shot doesn't count since there was no real reference to show it's size), and a quick shot of it jumping towards the player. Like you said though we'll find out more come E3. ;)
The 5th dorsal spine/spike IS there. I am 100% positive it is there. The arms are fine except they are missing the things on the elbows.
They aren't small. If you were 6-7 feet tall and you were laying on the ground you probably wouldn't look as big as you were standing up. Yes I realize the Xenos are really inbetween 7-8 feet.
Legs may be necessary for animations. If not, let's hope they get fixed.
Tail does not need the stupid crocodile sail. I highly doubt that plays a role in anything. PERHAPS if there are swimming environments in the game then the sail could be useful but if not its stupid.
Arms can easily be fixed.
The dorsal spine is there. The first thing I noticed during the shoot from "Hadley Hopes Camera."
As for the old models, theres two I think of. The magazine covers with the fleshy lumps of shoulders and hands:

Agreed. We need better footage with something in close proximity to one so we can draw a more accurate size comparison. It's difficult to tell for sure in the trailer.

Tail does not need the stupid crocodile sail. I highly doubt that plays a role in anything. PERHAPS if there are swimming environments in the game then the sail could be useful but if not its stupid.
Arms can easily be fixed.
I agree, but I can't see how GB couldn't manage using the "Aliens"-design legs for all appropriate animations. Let's just hope they don't have them constantly moving like a lizard as Rebellion did in AvP.
Just to get this straight: I'd prefer substance over looks, and I'd rather have an alien that doesn't remind me of a guy in a suit (you know, the AvP'99-arms-waving-in-the-air-accurate-but-if-seen-too-many-becoming-laughable type) than one that is pin-point accurate but get's animated in a wrong way so it'll even look worse.
I'd rather have double jointed legs and a blade (smallish) on the tail with semi-OK animation than human-defined joints that are poorly animated.
Having said that, the human-proportion thing IS salvageable if the animations are based mainly on the first two films, smooth and sexy, rather than making it a ravaging creature. But that goes for double jointed aswell...
Is it too much to ask for both? :D
Both what? Human and double-jointed?

Substance and looks.
How do I get out of this chickensh*t outfit? ::)
I honestly can't wait to get my hands on this game....
ok blatantly summing up everything we've seen it looks like a recycled avp3, we're not happy with the alien design cause we have morbid retrebution against avp movies, the voice actors sound way too similar to previous charactors, the weapons actually just look like a substitute to test the environment with, theres not alot to judge to coincide to come to a strict conclusion because theres still another f**kin year of developement so if anything its still in its infancy. im one of the hard core fans like you guys where every little aspect and detail has to be perfect down to atoms so once again bros we're gonna be waiting, and unless AVP galaxy gets everyone together to writewrite to gearbox asking them to fix the tail and not be jarheads bitching isnt gonna do us any good, so its solid we're stuck waiting again

It's exactly the same with the GBX community on their official forum.

yea but dude the whole point of creating new charactors...is to have them not be the same
example: alien 1979 tom skerrit- dallas
avp requiem some kid- dallas.....eh?
yuh know i get that whole "montage thing" but montage in this whole series isnt apropriate sometimes unless you do it right
in this case making a charactor sound exactly like a michael biehn (Hicks) is just ennoying
He doesn't sound exactly like Hicks. And the third unknown guy sounds like no one from the movie, and the Apone sound-a-like sounds more like a stereotypical black sergeant than EXACTLY like Apone.
Some of the dialogue seems reminiscent of Lt Gorman. Not saying they sound alike.
Been awhile since I've logged in, but I was curious if anyone else noticed that the marine on the right in the promotional screenshot has a robotic left leg below the knee... If this was mentioned before I do apologize, I just don't have the time atm to read each post.
Yup, he's gonna be the tough guy.
