A newish promotional image for the upcoming Aliens Colonial Marine videogame has been released. The image was first seen in the cover of PC Gamer back in July but now you can see it here in full. It shows Winter, the main character in the game, being attacked by various aliens in a hive. The APC also makes an appearance in the background.
In related news, gameplay of the game will be shown in the next episode of GTTV. Make sure to check back on Thursday, September 29th, to see the new footage.

Winter just needs some chick wrapped around his leg and you'd have a classic 80's action movie poster. :laugh:

I hope that pic DOESN'T set the tone of the game! Midget Aliens being snuffed in droves by a single super hero marine.

I hope thats just a copy and paste Alien behind him... otherwise... well its about the size of his torso!
Not really digging the Alien models, but I'm sure in the game if that atmosphere is done right it won't matter.

I wonder if this artwork will end up being used for the official cover of the game?

Are they really going to drive the APC through a wall again?!? I thought this was a sequel, not a rehash.

Doesn't make any difference. Proportionally it still looks too small.

The episode will be available online in HD shortly after the show (3 hours or so after) so no worries.
