QuoteA new trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines is now available, offering your first glimpse of the new multiplayer mode Escape and a new type of Xenomorph: http://www.gamespot.com/aliens-colonial-marines-2012/videos/aliens-colonial-marines-escape-mode-trailer-6393909/ (http://www.gamespot.com/aliens-colonial-marines-2012/videos/aliens-colonial-marines-escape-mode-trailer-6393909/)
Escape sees a team of four Colonial Marines fighting through a series of areas to secure a safe exit while an opposing team of four Xenomorphs attempts to stop them at every twist and turn, and will be playable on the PAX Prime show floor this weekend.
Also, keep an eye out for more news and details on Aliens: Colonial Marines during our the "Inside Gearbox Software" panel at PAX Prime which kicks off at 4PM PT in Pegasus Theatre!

I think it looks pretty rad

Woah, that does look cool. Textures look much better in this video too.
Is that the same spitter we saw in other videos, just redesigned here?

Thanks Ikarop. I updated the original post.
Also is this a female marine playable in multiplayer?

This gameplay looked pretty fun, I'm gonna be honest. But seriously, these graphics look so dated now. AvP 2010 delivered more "realistic" graphics than this and that was pretty much rushed. I like the look of the aliens and everything (trying my best not to criticise everything here), and the environments look alright, the claustrophobic areas fit in well, but that could make aliens a lot more overpowered than Marines (Like AvP 2010 Predators>Aliens>Marines) and to be honest, there doesn't seem to be much suspense in this video. It mainly looks like a full on attack kind of thing, which I'm all for, but I think it would suit the genre if there was more suspense, but of course the community doesn't like to play it tactical -.-

That was actually really cool... still not sold on the third-person aliens though, totally lacks immersion. Interesting to see how it actually feels to play it that way though.

Looks great! Lurker looks fantastic and It was nice to finally see some new weapons for the marines. Looks like an SMG and an Assault Rifle, but not entirely sure.
Don't really understand the graphical complaints. AVP3 look amazing, but the levels were so small and enclosed that It wasn't really anything special. This game looks great for what it is trying to do. Especially the lighting.

Looks like the Escape MP mode is just like the Evacuation mode for AVP2 in which case, it's going to be AWESOME!!!! One of the greatest disappointments that AVP2010 had for me is the lack of an Evacuation mode for multiplayer, I never thought I'd ever be able to play this awesome mode again and I am so glad Gearbox has fixed this. Now, I just need an AVP2 Survivor/AVP2010 Infestation mode and I'd be set. :)

I thought this trailer was more about the different type of xeno's , then a new game mode. I am confused about it. It needs to have a commentary version, with developers talking about it.

I'm guessing Gearbox based this game mode under Evacuation from AVP2, the mechanics are this: usually there are more humans than Aliens but the Aliens can respawn, when the humans die they respawn as Aliens. All the surviving humans have to reach the Evac point and stay there for 10 seconds and they have to survive standing there in order to win or they could wipe out the remaining number of lives that the Alien players have.

I really like how Escape mode is objective based. That's exactly what the Infestation and Predator Hunt modes needed to be in AVP. BUT, it's only 4 vs. 4? WTF?! >:(
I also want to know why in the hell the Lurker (which appears to be the Alien from the original film) is "the fastest in agility"? Where's the f**king Runner? I suppose it's not going to be in the game. Which would be stupid.
The Spitter looks ridiculous and is completely unnecessary when it's primary function is something the others have already demonstrated to have. What's next? The Praetorian? *facepalm*
I'm still very unhappy with Alien players being relegated to 3rd person. Gearbox should at least give us a f**king option. And of course, they're still too small, they're all using quadrupedal movement, their animations need improving, the weapon sfx are all wrong, the Pulse Rifle is firing tracers, etc., etc.
The sad thing about all this is the praise Randy and his team are giving themselves about making "the most authentic Aliens experience yet" could still very well be true. lol *sigh* That's simultaneously hilarious and depressing.

I wonder how you spit as the Spitter; I'm guessing it's claw and tail attacks are very weak and that's why it has to rely on spitting as its primary form of attack, therefore I'm assuming either the claw or tail attack keys will be replaced with a spit attack key.

I dont see what the big deal is. The graphics aren't the best I've ever seen, but they don't suck by any means. The spitter is awesome save for the glowing sacs. If they only glow when the spitter is about to attack, that would be a different story. But other than that, the trailer is fantastic and epic. So excited!!!

Still, why would Gearbox make the Lurker the fastest and most agile of the different classes when clearly the Runner is suppose to be? The Lurker is obviously based off the original Alien. Which was the slowest moving Alien in the entire series. ::)
Then again, it's probably the same reason they made the Aliens too small, the weapons have the wrong sfx, etc.... stupidity. lol

Oh I agree with you 100%. There is no harm in criticizing whatsoever. However, people should be more worried about being critical with the game play more than anything else. AvP3 had puuurdy graphics - but no matter how hard you shine and polish a turd its still a lump of shit.
I think thats our point, if I may speak ever so lightly for poot.

I thought it was a kid saying the graphics suck since anyone born after 91 seems to not appreciate the glory days of video game but the dudes 41. Graphics look amazing and the atmosphere is top notch.
Lol, I have to agree being nearer my 40s then my 30s now.
Hey pal, it's just my opinion...don't get your panties in a twist. I appreciate the old games as much as the next guy. Graphics are not everything but is it too much too ask for great game play and great graphics?
No ones arguing with u guy. Anyway, u can disagree with me all u want but leave my panties out of it.

That was a poetic way to describe avp2010. All the power of Unreal Engine 4 couldn't save or polish that one.
Quote from: ScardyFox on Aug 30, 2012, 06:22:47 PM
Oh I agree with you 100%. There is no harm in criticizing whatsoever. However, people should be more worried about being critical with the game play more than anything else. AvP3 had puuurdy graphics - but no matter how hard you shine and polish a turd its still a lump of shit.
I think thats our point, if I may speak ever so lightly for poot.

Dem sacks.
The graphics cannot be told really well thanks to the video quality but the models of the environment and marines are pretty low poly. Thing is, this game HAS to be outdated because it's going to be released on outdated systems, so instead of aiming for the best quality in textures and models they're just gonna bloat it to shit with lightning and particle effects. Gearbox pretty much said it explicitly, the lightning is the bread and butter of the game's look.
regarding the gameplay, it feels as sluggish and floaty as ever, but i've given up on asking anymore. at least it will be similar enough to AVP2 to comform.
EDIT: by the way, the music track sounds like an electronic version of this:

Let's see the good side of it, if you are going for PC version you can run this game on an intel based system with video shared memory of course remember to turn off all the particles ragdoll and lighting stuff ;) hell yeah! running smooth and by the numbers :D

Y'know, I always thought that an Alien spitting should have been included in AvP games, but at the risk of using it, it depletes your health, and you had to wait until your health was full again until you could use it.

That's probably because the dog alien in Alien3 spits...and the spitter in A:CM looks ridiculous. Seriously, GBX should've just used the dog alien design for the spitter instead of what they came up with.

Neither do people. It's quite clear that he disagrees with how you judged his disagreement. I can see you've dug a hole for yourself in this argument, but I'm giving you a way out, use it. To continue this pointless charade is to taunt logic and find fault in something that simply doesn't have it. In my opinion, if you carry this on you are hankerin' for a spankerin' and should willingly bend over and accept the size 9, that's how pointless that discussion is.

Well I'm a little more excited now. I'm loving the look of the Lurker.
The Spitter looks... different, but I guess those sacks are one way of being able to distinguish them from the other aliens, good in a video game. It's not awesome but it is somewhat interesting.
True they are at a disavantage when it comes to stealth but judging by the name they are a sort of "sniper" class, perhaps this compensates?

This is the first time in awhile my hype has gone up for this game. ;D

The same shit they were talking about you and a team of people making your escape during insane moments like what was shown here...this is what I was excited for about this game when they said that years back. Looks like they got the f**king feel of it correct.

The glowing head sacs don't make any sense biologically with something that is supposed to be an unseen killer in the dark.
But on the other hand ... it's a f**king video game and it's supposed to be fun, cool, and different to appeal to as wide a range of players as possible. I think they struck a serviceable middle ground. Glowing alien heads aren't going to make or break the game.

The Aliens "hopping" looks more like galloping to me, makes more sense now.
I actually think the graphics on this are more realistic than AVP 2010. The texture is far better here.
I am really glad they finally let the player spit acid!! Although this Xeno shouldn't be canonized, it's important that they have a ranged attack in their arsenal. I have wanted to be able to spit acid since AVP2. In AVP 2010 it would have been useful in Infestation. I remember playing on Pyramid, I was the selected Alien, and the 4 Marines stayed in a well lit corner, and NEVER moved positions. Every time I approached they gunned me down, I was like, "Well this is no fun." I wish I could have used a ranged attack to split them up.

Other than the game necessary new Xenos, I would like the game to be done so well, story wise, that I would be happy to call it canon.
It probably won't be, however I like the graphics, and it looks really fun to play. So that's good enough.

Giger alien looks great. Still peeved thats its supposed to be weaker than ridged head though. Bah
I dont dig the gallop. Not one bit. If you're going to have the aliens running on all fours make it the super fast scuttle of the runner in A3. This loping shit looks dumb and un-alien.
Dont mind the spitter. This shit was gonna happen the moment this game was announced. What I hope is that it has some variety in its attacks. Example: Long range spit that can poison marines. An alt-fire spit that can stun or slow enemies down for coordinated attacks so other xenos can get in close ect.
If were gonna get another class (besides the runner) I'd like to see something different from the standard humanoid two arms and legs aliens. Maybe something a little more arthropod-ish. And would it hurt to see a marine that doesn't have his sleeves rolled up for once? Maybe some armor around the limbs? A full head mask? Heres hoping for some detailed customization from the marine end.
All in all its the first piece of marketing for this game that got me excited. Cant wait to lurk it up. Lurker all day errday

Neither do people. It's quite clear that he disagrees with how you judged his disagreement. I can see you've dug a hole for yourself in this argument, but I'm giving you a way out, use it. To continue this pointless charade is to taunt logic and find fault in something that simply doesn't have it. In my opinion, if you carry this on you are hankerin' for a spankerin' and should willingly bend over and accept the size 9, that's how pointless that discussion is.
now why do you have to come with that attitude? it's harmless nitpicking.
I assure you I had no attitude towards you or Dovahkiin. I was just pointing out the pointlessness of the constant bickering between the two of you. This argument in particular I found more amusing than anything else to the point where your hole digging reminded me of David Brent of The Office (UK) fame. The latter part of my post was said jokingly rather than maliciously hence various remarks such as "hankerin' for a spankerin'" and "accepting the size 9". If you honestly could not see I was 'taking the Michael' (sorry it's an english expression for poking fun) then I apologise and I will try to be less vague in the future, and of course I'll use more laughy faces :laugh:.
Okay, back on topic (well sort of): Does anyone else think that side-view still screenshot of the Spitter's head looks a bit like the Martion Tripod head from the 2005 movie, War of the Worlds? :)

Maybe the green glow is there for gameplay reasons? Maybe gearbox found out that the spitter attack was too good with a pure black stealthy design.. (unseen snipper running around really fast in the dark..no way that could be overpowered.) ..so they added the green bags to give marine players a way to spot it before getting hit.
Just speculation schmeculation. :P
by the way this early image of a new xeno is quite similar to the spitter... look at the arms. An early design or a different xeno? :P

Camerons isn't bad, I just prefer the original. Has a certain grittiness to it.
That is the reason. For game-play. It wouldn't work in the movies but for a game, we have to accept some unfortunate design preferences for game-plays sake.

I think that's a totally different Alien or a mixture of some of their early designs. Someone asked earlier if a concept art pic of an Alien was the same alien as the Spitter. I believe the spitter and the concept art are one and the same as they both have the same overall body shape, zeppelin-shaped head, and mandiple-like tusks on either side of the mouth. The only thing it lack is the green acid pouches which may not have been implemented at that point.
Also, take a look at 1:26 and 1:37 of the video and you'll see that the sentry gun weapon emplacements can be both automated and operated manually by the player - things just keep getting better! :D.

I remember playing on Pyramid, I was the selected Alien, and the 4 Marines stayed in a well lit corner, and NEVER moved positions.

Personally, I like the graphics for A:CM a whole lot more than AvP so far.
I wish they had used the original egg design from the first two movies though, instead of the redesigned ADI eggs.

I wouldn't say they're more detailed, rather their models look cleaner because their textures and color tones are painfully bland. There is also a distinct lack of variety in both appearance and behavior in the AvP Xenos.
That's not to say they don't look nice, they just looked kind of bland to me.

I'd say that the new A:CM alien designs look less cartooney and have more 'substance' than the AVP xeno designs which in my opinion makes the newer designs much more scary and true to the movies, if that makes any sense. The AVP xeno details seem more like dark drawings and shadings on a piece of paper to me, rather than the more protruding 3D-looking details of the A:CM lurker's head - Although I do agree that the AVP graphics appear more detailed and complex than ACM, but bear in mind that this game isn't even out yet.
To put it bluntly, I'm more than satisfied with these graphics and alien designs from what I've seen.

QuotePAX 2012: Gearbox Multiplayer Producer Chris Brock Explains the Escape Plan In 'Aliens: Colonial Marines'http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2012/08/31/pax-2012-gearbox-multiplayer-producer-chris-brock-aliens-colonial-marines-interview/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2012/08/31/pax-2012-gearbox-multiplayer-producer-chris-brock-aliens-colonial-marines-interview/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)
Posted 41 mins ago by Charles Webb in FPS, Interviews, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Being a human in Aliens: Colonial Marines just got a little tougher with the inclusion of Escape Mode, a new asymmetrical, 4 v 4 multiplayer mode coming to the game when it's released in February. In it, a team of Marines will have to make their escape from a level within 15 minutes while the opposing team of Xenomorphs hunt them down. This new mode will be playable all weekend at PAX Prime, if you're interested in checking it out at the SEGA booth.
To get into the specifics of how this new mode would work, I recently spoke with Gearbox Multiplayer Producer Chris Brock who walked me through some of the developer's vision for Escape Mode, building the perfect levels to escape from, and getting players excited about playing as the alien.
MTV Multiplayer: Could you talk to us a little about the origins of the Escape mode? How did the Gearbox team decide this absolutely needed to be in-game?
Chris Brock: When deciding what modes we wanted to create for Aliens: Colonial Marines, we deliberated over what types of experience would feel reminiscent of the films in terms of what the Marines' motivations were. Something that really resonated with our team was the idea that the "objective" is just to make it from point A to point B while under siege from these killing machines.
Multiplayer: What were some of the key pillars of an alien-Marine encounter that you were looking to get into Escape mode?
Brock: There's a few, but they all fall under the general guideline that Marines need to feel fear when confronted with Xenos. Marines have a highly variable level of vulnerability. Marines need to progress through an escape level quickly, but Xenos are faster than they are. Marines need to progress through poorly illuminated areas, but Xenos are more suited to that type of encounter.
That's not to say that marines are defenseless; a marine team who can work together, covering all sides while remaining mobile is really tough to take down. Marines who work cohesively are very powerful; Marines who go off alone are doomed.
Multiplayer: Elaborate a bit on the structure of a typical match—the Colonial Marines have to make their escape through a level with the Xenomorphs after them. What was your team's thinking when it came to creating environmental obstacles and making it a challenge for the Marine players and the Xeno players?
Brock: There's different kinds of obstacles that could be considered "environmental."
On the one hand, we have level-based scenarios. For example, you're progressing through an abandoned Weyland-Yutani facility and you need to get to the other side of a huge blast door, but to do so, you need to detour and turn on the power.
We've got some other environmental obstacles that are more "natural occurrences" than anything we specifically task the player with. I alluded to it earlier, but there are times when your escape route will take you through an area with less than ideal lighting, at least for marines. Marines have a flashlight, but Xeno players can just see in the dark, and they're hard to pick out in the darkness.
Xenos need to coordinate as well though. Well-coordinated marines can survive for a very long time. Xenos players need to work in tandem, wait in ambush, and then quick strike to create confusion and to take multiple players down at once.
Multiplayer: Along the same lines, what were some ways your team wanted to keep the levels (and therefore the players) moving?
Brock: Players need motivation to move, but it needs to work on several levels because not all players are motivated the same way. Perhaps they need to escape within a certain amount of time to avoid some sort of consequence. Or maybe they need to keep moving because they're resource limited. Possibly they move as fast as they can because they're rewarded somehow for doing so.
Multiplayer: I know I keep getting hung up on the level design, specifically as it relates to the Xenos and how that might affect play but are there going to be ducts and out-of-the-way bits where they might be able to lay in ambush?
Brock: Xenos just wouldn't be Xenos without "comin' in through the walls"
Multiplayer: How will spawning work?
Brock: We're still going back and forth on a few details, but it's a bit different for the two sides. Xenos are practically infinite, so they should have basically limitless chances to take marines out. Marines have a far more finite amount of chances.
Multiplayer: To what extent were you looking at older games featuring the Xenomorphs as playable characters?
Brock: We've not only looked at every game we can think of that's featured playable Xenomorphs, but we've looked at pretty much every asymmetrical multiplayer game we've been able to get our hands on. It's been really important for us to understand that, at the core, "Marines vs. Xenomorphs" is one faction competing against a radically different faction.
Multiplayer: I always felt that in titles like some of the classic AvP games, the problem was often the learning curve of playing as the alien which typically amounted to having a class of character that many users were daunted by. To what extent was this a concern for your team?
Brock: It's always a concern when you ask the player to do something that's outside of their comfort zone. Something that we've always kept in our minds is that playing as a Xeno should not be the kind of thing where you need to play ten, or five, or even three games before you understand it. We want you to feel comfortable playing as a Xenomorph after one game.

I personally think the Alien models look nice so why all the hate.

I don't like the Spitter because it's redundant. The design is okay I guess, but the role it's trying to fill is unnecessary because it's already taken.
Where the hell is the Runner anyway? And why is the "Lurker" suppose to be the fastest and most agile? Authentic, Gearbox? Hardly.
I don't think I've ever been so excited and irritated at the same time before. lol

The way the game was originally described as was not arcade-y but that seems to be the way its turning out. I love left4dead but I would rather have something more like Alien/s for an Aliens game.

NO
And depends about the dog's....what cut of A3 does Pitchford take canon? Or in general we should ask what cuts does he take canon for the movies?

Lol, it's not as bad as it sounds; it isn't a real dragon alien (it doesn't breathe flames or anything); it's just a name for a flying Alien. Here, it's at 4:40 in this vid:

Obviously, it shouldn't be given boss status like this game did but I still think it's an interesting Xeno variety.

^Indeed, it's hard to imagine how Gearbox can fail worse than Rebellion did with AVP2010. Of course, if Gearbox drops online support and introduces a patch that makes the game forget and lose your XP, they would have done a pretty decent job approaching Rebellion's "fail" score.

Good god, tell me about it. There were no scares whatsoever in that game, like...at all. I agree, the whole game was just f**king boring as shit...almost nothing of value. The only things worth mentioning is the campaign for the Alien...although it was short and boring as hell, the ending was the best part about it. The Marine campaign is probably the best thing about that game, ONLY because there are moments where you can actually stop and look around the environment, unlike with the other two species where it's basically just "kill these guys and kill some more!" There's nothing there to even care for.

In my opinion, AVP2010's greatest flaw was that it tried to be too much like AVP2000; AVP2000 was a classic game that everyone was interested in primarily because you could play as all 3 species, that's what made the game great. AVP2 built on that premise by adding an integrated plot where the main Alien/Predator/Marine characters came into conflict with each other at multiple points in the story. AVP2010 failed to have this integrative plot, which I'm betting a lot of players were expecting, and instead kept the AVP2000 scheme where the 3 protagonists never saw each other (they did let players play in the aftermath of the levels of the other characters, though, kinda like the bonus levels in AVP2000).
AVP2010's plot also tried to mimic AVP2's story in some areas like how there's a secret spy in Weyland-Yutani who secretly helps the Marine character, but ultimately that plot was better done in AVP2 and is no longer fresh for a sequel directly following that game. In retrospect, if an AVP2000 clone were released now, it would fail because it would rely solely on the mechanic that you could play as 3 species instead of one; that simply isn't good enough now because it's now a standard in all AVP games and if you look back, that is exactly what AVP2010 is: a clone of AVP2000.

I am anticipating this game a little less now that I've seen the spitter. Why couldn't they just create a skin for the dog alien from Alien3 if they wanted a spitter since it already did that in the movie??? Usually, new game footage like this is suppose to make a game look better before it's released. The "Escape" trailer does the opposite for me.
Idk...that spitter looks so poorly conceived, I doubt that any real thought went into it. It looks more like something Id expect to see if FOX decided to make a third AvP film and asked fans of that particular series to send in submissions for ideas. Of course, this design wouldn't win unless it just happened to be picked out of a hat...which is exactly what I think might have happened at GBX studios one day.
There's your story.

God that lighting looks incredible. I'm almost going to pony up the cash just to watch the pretty lights.
That Spitter is a decent design with those fail f**king glow sacks and that ridiculous tail. Looks like Blizzard designed it. :-[ WoWAlien. But to nitpick the function of the thing, I think I would buy it if it looked like it had a Left4Dead style effect, but unless it does an area-denial thing or slows marines down or something, I fail to see the real game-changing tactical difference other than it does ranged damage.
I can't stand the loping run, either. Watch the Lurker @ 1:18, looks like a not-very-agile monkey. Sincerely wish they'd fix that.
It does look fun, but I'm really not feeling very Aliens-movie. :-\ I agree with a lot of the previous posts about the lack of tension. Looks to me like Marines will be blowing the f**king hell out of everything that moves with relative ease. Auto-shotguns and SMG's?
I hope their comments about all of this vent-and-wall hiding in darkness action are true, because they sure as hell don't really show that in the vids. They're all running and screaming action fests with monkey aliens getting blown to all hell with green goo flying around.
Not sure what to think...

Yeah, that running animation looks sillier and sillier every time I see it. This is probably my main concern for the aliens. Honestly, I can live with some funky designs here and there, I don't care if the game's fun, but that running animation is just annoying to see now.

And about pouches......why not a giant fat alien that spits bbq sauce at its prey and stores prey in a chin food pouch. I call it Internecivus raptus pentz. Only weapon is a lipo-suction ray to stop it. Or better yet.....give the pentzalien giant extendable man tits developed from its host

I'd like to confirm a small tidbit of vital information regarding the Lurker in the new escape video. If you goto 2:04 in the video you see the Lurker running at a marine whilst getting shot in the head.
Look closely to its head before and after getting shot. Notice the change?
I can only come to two conclusions: Either
1. You blow its shell off revealling its skull.
2. Shell hardens and becomes completely black.
This explains the missing title card for the smooth headed alien. But someone told me that the Lurker is the smooth headed alien.

The gallop seems a more realistic way of fast moving while on all fours... but it is just handled so poorly at the moment. It should only be reserved for when the Xeno is sprinting, that way the body positioning and speed would fit better. Spike looked great in Alien 3, they should maybe take a bit more influence from the locomotion in that movie. The lack of a strafe animation also makes movement look rather odd.
On a side note, I don't really mind the spitter. So I'm hoping there will be many more unique classes to play with. Variety is usually a good thing. What bothers me the most is the, almost, backlighting on the Lurker's dome. It practically glows on its own. Otherwise, I'll probably get the game just for this gamemode lol. I miss evac.

Yea, its generally believed that the lurker (really the drone) from the first movie, evolves into a warrior (second movie). Sheds the dome when it doesn't need it to protect the developing skull. Nice pointing that out tho, I missed it the first time. Gotta rewatch.

It had a ridged pattern (basically the design of the Jungle Aliens in AVP 2010), but no eye sockets or actual skull.

The aliens in Rez and AvP also have a subtle ridged design under the translucent dome.
So far though, the only aliens with actual skulls beneath are Kane's son, and....sigh...the Predalien.

This is their best trailer so far, but the spitter ruins it (i also dislike the crusher). I think the spitter is actually pretty well desingned but still, the design doesn't fit Alien universe. Looks like they took the it's just a videogame mentality on the contrary to their authentic Aliens sequel/ Alien 3 prequel which Gearbox claim they are making. There are just too many facts about this game i think are suspect and would have looked ridiculous in the film. I wouldn't be so negative if this game was another fps with xenomorphs and marines in it. Im still sure this game will be a lot fun and probably will buy it and am glad it's being made.
That said, i think the spitter (hate the name) would be kinda cool if the acid bags would be dark green almost body coloured while the xenomorph is not attacking. Glowing would commence as soon as player touches the attack button. Longer the button hold duration, deadlier the attack, predator shoulder cannon style. Quick push withalmost no glow and very weak attack, long push results instant kill. The way i see it spitters should be especially well camouflaged and when a marine sights ominous glow from the dark he has to react instantly or he's history.

Sorry folks, upon closer inspect to the 60 fps version of the video, i can confirm that the shell did not come off. Its still there, just that the angle is steep. Just a sliver of the shell looks like its still there. :(

I don't recall the original Giger Alien from the first movie ("Kane's son") as having a translucent cranial shell showing us a skull shape beneath? I'm pretty sure the first to do such a thing was a few interpretations in model-form, and the Pred-Alien. Didn't Kane have a smooth, black cranium?
@Sexy Poot: I'm pretty sure the greenish glow on the lurker's shoulder tubes are a result of intense lighting made to give us a view through the translucent shell of the lurker's head. You can see the bright light glinting off Mr. Lurker's head and shoulders in both cases - I'd say that glow would be hardly visible in the standard dimly-lit environments.

No, it always had the translucent cowl. The lighting in the film made it look opaque, though.

Well I definitely see improvements in this trailer. Pulse rifle sounds better, seems female marines might be in. The atmosphere and frantic-ness of trying to survive appears to have been captured. The aliens look good including the spitter, andshould be fun to play.
Hoping they iron out that smartgun sound though - avp2010 all over again.

Ok thanks for clarifying that, SpaceMarines (and I hope your name refers to the Adeptus Astartes! ;)). Now I have to watch the whole first movie again hehe.
I think your answer supports my second point though; lighting can make the xenos look very different depending on how dim the environment is, and I suspect that's the case with the greenish hue of the Lurker's shoulder tubes.

No problem, man. Sorry to disappoint you, though, my name has nothing to do with WH40K, merely the concept of a "space marine" in general. Although I have been interested in getting into it, simply intimidated by the sheer size of it all; I have heard the Horus Heresy is a good place to start, though.

Where do you see the dome covering being shot off the alien's head? Are you getting the lurker mixed up with the warrior?

Screenshot #5 is the manually-operated sentry turret footage I was referring to earlier, there must be a significant reason though why the player would feel inclined to use the turret themselves rather than providing supporting rifle fire for the automated turret. Perhaps when AI-controlled, its rate of fire is slower or it must 'lock on' to a target before firing?

i hate how they are growing all over the place, some smaller and placed oddly.
they should at least look mechanic, not plant-like.

It just looks like something that was clearly an Alien ripoff because they couldn't afford the license.

The concept art with the xenos being in a WY stasis pod lab...if this is in the game and explains some of this shit, then I'll be fine.
Won't explain why the f**king colony is still around from the damn blast, but that's for another post.

The Lurker as i sstated before doesn't have its head shell blown off. I have the highres 1080p 60fps version, and its just the angle that its in. sure as hell looked like it was being blown off or turned into the black head. Interesting concept but its would be confusing and odd to me that it would.

A spitter, a crusher, a Lurker... Wow! This will be the best L4D-mod ever!
...wait, are you telling me this is an Aliens game?
Actually I'm really looking forward to this game, it's just that the alien classes feels of. Every time we've seen multiple aliens in a movie they've been of the same breed. the predalien, the runner and the newborn are all unique (and fairly uninteresting) creatures. I'd rather see them in the single player/coop -campaign as "bosses" than playable characters in multiplayer. there you'll be facing them every single time... not very unique any more.
Just my thoughts

Thinking about the "escape" mode and how there's objectives for the marines... I'm kinda hoping the objectives randomly change each time the maps loads up.

I'm hoping its randomly generated though. So that the same map has different combinations of objectives each time through.

I wouldn't expect something like that, but it's possible. I'll be happy if they have enough good colony maps with at least one objective to move to. Maybe they'll have weldable doors to determine the breaks between areas in Escape mode, like a safe room sort of deal where you can weld the door and re-arm before moving on?
But... if there's weldable doors, does that mean aliens can break through or open them when they're not welded? If I can ram a door as an alien, I will be willing to overlook much of what has been witnessed during this difficult production. :laugh:
If maps suck, multiplayer game life probably suck :(. Killed AvP 2010, even before the DLC had a chance to really kick in. I thought some of the DLC maps were great, but just too little too late, and SEGA didn't help things.

I think the point of the weldable doors was to reenact those scenes iin Aliens where doors were locked and they had to get through or welded shut so the simple task of opening these hulking doors proved impossible. Lots of people think, well couldnt the aliens just break them.
Logic tells you, "then why not make those doors out of ply wood".
The only thing that could possibly break them would be the crusher.
all in all who cares?
my point is... shabang a bang.

Well said, Mr. Tyson.
Personally, I liked this trailer quite a bit.
More of this is what I want in my Colonial Marines. Frantic team work scenarios. It's something the ALIENS games have needed more of. That sense of being these marines in survival situations.

In the film it seemed that any door was 'weldable'. And those that weren't opened via motion sensors. Except when there's no power and they need to be manually slid open.

This, the Mode in AVP2, I forget what it's called, and VS Mode in L4D, but I'm not bothered by it. It's a fun game mode, and I am looking forward to it in ACM. Also, I'm happy that they have multiple classes of Xenos. More dynamic gameplay.

Oh, I'm all for dynamic game play, and from that point of view I can appreciate that they put in different classes. My grief lies in all this talk about the game being cannon. It's been discused alot as it is, but when they invent new breeds of aliens, purely for the ballance of the game or to sell the game to L4D players... and not for the sake of the story... then...I'm not really interested.
If they manage to incorporate the new breeds in the story, in an interesting way, then I'm all for it

Nah, not as much annoyed as confused... If this was just another Alien game then I'd like to try out these new breeds, but when proclaiming this is cannon... well, that just doesn't sit well with me :P
Still looking forward to the game, but just the single/coop-mode so far. The multiplayer aspect doesn't do it for me :/
