Aliens: Colonial Marines

[deltasniper1640]

Hey has anyone heard of recent news on Colonial Marines...last thing I found was that it was supposed to come out first quarter of 2009. If you have any information please share. Also let me know what you think of it so far...

Well since AvP was kinda a let down, I will say I'm hoping Gearbox does better.

2011 is what I'm hearing now.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

It was postponed until AVP.

 

[Daedalus1942]

Oh it's still in production? Sweet! That looked awesome. I just assumed the project had been integrated to be part of AvP, but if they're still going ahead with it, that's awesome.

Its gonna be set in multiple locations including LV-426 from Aliens, But my question is - didn't that place explode at the end of the movie?

Yeah but they cloned it.

Makes ..sense?

I don't think the whole place did. Could just be visiting the ruins.

Well, allow me to be a complete fucking nerd here as I say that according to my Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual [http://www.amazon.com/Aliens-Colonial-Marines-Technical-Manual/dp/0061053430/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266920494&sr=8-1] supposedly the crashed alien ship from the first movie was behind a large mountain range relative to the colony and might have been sheltered from the blast.

So that's where I'd set the game at.

Knowing however how most companies like to think they'll set it in "The second colony on LV-426 that is equidistant away as the first one was that you never heard about for some reason. What? That makes no sense according to the movie? Waah! Stop whining about and pointing out plot holes! We had our single underpaid writer work really hard on this for all of two hours and who cares about story in games anyway!?!"

I think you'll find it's two writers. Bradley Thompson and David Weddle of Battlestar Galactica fame.

I'd like to be able to say that makes me feel better, but seeing how in my opinion the new Battlestar Galactica took no time at all to jump off the deep end into the sea of 'hip political commentary' and plot holes I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face letting off a lie of that magnitude. It DID have good dialogue and fairly interesting characters though, so they might end up doing a good job.

Don't mistake this as me being a needlessly negative naysayer in this case, this is the attitude I take for EVERYTHING new, that way if it ends up sucking I lose nothing and if it's good I get pleasantly surprised.

They mostly wrote it at night.... mostly

 

[zakski]

Yes, I can't wait for the joint terror while me and my friends collectively stare into the dark hearing our motion sensors go mental, pointing our guns in every direction frantically.

This will be made even more tense by the fact that there's no HUD, so the immersion will be beyond belief.

Soon, soon I will have L4D2, also ya know i will probably run off and leave you

I believe that in non-movie continuities, it has been revealed that little more than the human colony on LV-426 was actually destroyed by the blast. The derelict, and all the eggs within, survived.

Oh man I have been waiting fo his game for sooo long. Its had so many delays and setbacks its almost reaching Duke Nukem forever levels. Well, maybe not that bad but I can remember seeing this game in previews from years ago.

Cant wait as the latest version looks awesome.

All together now...
'Thats it man, GAME OVER! GAME OVER MAN!!!!'
