Upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines VIDEO GAME

LOLZ... Geez, looks like someone posted the EXACT SAME TOPIC WHEN I DID!!! Hahahaha.... odds of that?? Sheeeeet.... Maybe this is a sign that I should run out and buy some lottery tickets?

^lolol, I just saw Dekomposer's post! >.<

there are about 20 posts about it so far, Just sayin', I already pre-ordered my copy.

It is I who is guilty of this..lol Yesterday someone else got angry with me for posting something 14mins before they had a chance too. I guess i will stop posting anything ( ; And yes the game looks amazing 'what did you think of that xeno variation "the Crusher..

Well... I guess we can get rid of then if everyone wants.. I didnt see any.. LOL with the exception of one posted at the exact same time as this afterward?? That still freaks me out. Hahaha

Have you watched the 11 min demo? The link to the game play is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xulEWbAyv3k

I still wanna know how the hell the colony survives a 40 megaton nuclear blast. And how there was anything left alive to be infected. Any takers?

I've been looking forward to this game since it was first announced waaaaay back in...2007? (The first anticipated release date was 2009. I remember thinking "man that's not for a few years!". LOL it's now April 2012 and the game's still not out.) Anyway, does anyone know the new release date?

No... not yet. Think I will check it out. Im not really a gamer but I DO ENJOY the odd first person shooter. Since I am an Alien fan, this will be a definate buy for me. It looks VERY GOOD from what I have seen. Gearbox is a pretty good developer, so will probably be worth the purchase price. Sheeeet... I had Aliens vs. Predator back in 1994 for the Atari Jaguar. That was 1 of the FIRST First Person shooter games on a home console ever. It was a pretty unique game for its time.

As a big Aliens fan and a big 1st person shooter fan, I can say i'm just about excited for this game as i am for the Prometheus movie. Various studios completely butchered Alien based games in recent years. The last good one was AVP 2 for windows, that was like 2000 i think. Only 1 predator in the marine missions made for a very Aliens-esque atmosphere. Colonial Marines has been in the works for nearly a decade, and It has potential to be a landmark in Alien saga if the story is good

@Cypher... No I dont think it takes place on the colony, but the SULACO & apparently at least one mission/level IN THE DERELICT. Not sure about other possible locations. I did hear though that they have apparently created EVERY SINGLE deck and room within the SULACO, which should make for some pretty interesting gameplay... I would hope.

@HicksandHudson, Yeah.. agree. This could almost be taken as a little mini movie possibly when you add in all the cinematics it will probably have since it will be telling another story we have never seen yet which is... What the heck happend to the ship and LV426 AFTER the events of Cameron's Aliens. Could be a very cool thing if Gearbox and Sega do it right.

release date?

@shawn... Not exactly sure... I think only FALL OF 2012 has been given out so far? But that probably makes sense.. It probably will be timed to coincide with a movie DVD/Bluray release of Prometheus in time for the Holiday Season.

actually it was spring of 2012 but they may have moved that back since. I am really looking forward to this game, and will be incredibly overjoyed if they have the presence of mind to add a 3rd person viewing option. IMO...this ONE feature, that is not including it as at least an option has led to the Massive failure of every single Alien Game ever made, or the ones that may have met with some success being completely crappy...This is a MUST HAVE option for Long annoying dizzying battles with Xenomorphs in a video game atmosphere, and I am flabbergasted that NOONE in the industry has even thought of this yet 33+ years later. Resurrection would have made a fantastic game had it been offered with a 3rd person option but it was so sickening in 1`st person that it lost all of it;s atmosphere because of it, was fun to play for about ten minutes instead you started getting sick from all the spinning around. Aliens VS Predator from SEGA for the PS3 is an awesome game but of there can be ONE solid critisism of it it is the same old obvious one...NO 3rd person Option, which is IMO 100% Mentally Retarded for Gaming MFG's to constantly leave out.

Yeah.. and PROMETHEUS was even originally supposed to be out NOW as well, but they moved that to June, so Im thinking that they want to anchor this game with Movie date releases for cross marketing purposes, whether its related to the movie plot or not. And who knows... maybe they have been taking the extra time to add in some type of Prometheus references into the game???.... Just for sheeetz n giggles??

Hey "Phil" I added a Lot of stuff to my post post about 3rd person, check it out...
