It is known that the team at [b]Gearbox[/b], behind the upcoming FPS shooter, [b]Aliens: Colonial Marines[/b] met with Ridley Scott prior to Prometheus' release and discussed ideas and options of incorporating elements from Prometheus into Aliens: Colonial Marines. What those elements could be are still a mystery. [center][img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/games/alienscm/screenshots/normal_alienscmscreen51.jpg[/img][/center] In a recent issue of [b]Xbox Magazine[/b] we get a new look at the Orrey Room, from the Derelict in the background of one of the screenshots featured int he article (seen below), courtesy of [i]AvPGalaxy.net[/i]: [center] [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/OXM-0003.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/OXM-0004.jpg[/img] [/center] So what do you think? Are you more excited for [b]Aliens: Colonial Marines[/b] now, knowing that elements from [b]Prometheus[/b] might be included? Let us know by replying below! [center] [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/games/alienscm/screenshots/normal_alienscmscreen54.jpg[/img] [/center] Personally, I can't wait to play [b]Aliens: Colonial Marines[/b]. We've been waiting a very long time for this game. Not to mention, it will be nice to play an Aliens game without the inclusion of Predators, for once. Aliens: Colonial Marines is set for a February 12th, 2013 release date on PS3, XBox 360 and PC game systems. Thanks to [i]AvPGalaxy.net[/i] for the images!

i just stuck my face a centimeter from my screen and read the articles and there is a part in the second to last image that says ridley scott only considers alien and aliens to be canon. altough it did mention that fox is makes the final decision on what is or isnt canon, but Sir Ridley's opinion is one the that matters in my heart <3

Well, if they are planning on the game being canon to Prometheus and the ALIENS movies, then campaign mode will most likely not have anything linking it to Prometheus except the derelict ship from LV-426, because there will be to many contradictions to the other ALIEN movies. But then again, if Ridley Scott doesn't count ALIEN 3 and Resurrection as canon, and most people agree with him and try to forget those 2 movies including James Cameron, then the ALIEN story has not been explored beyond ALIENS. So anything is possible if that's the case. FOX can only say whats canon because they own the rights, but the decision should go to the creators, not studios who want to milk a franchise for all its got and ruin it in the process. Besides all of that, this game is going to be amazing. I am so excited for this game, I pre-ordered the Collectors Edition the day it was announced. I've always wanted a good ALIENS game. AVP was ok, but I hate when they try to mix the ALIENS and Predator franchises.

im definitely going to be purchasing this game. Having said that, i really hope it doesnt get too silly. Im a bit concerned about the various "alien" designations (spitter, crusher, boiler etc.). Also a bit concerned about the fact that some of the released scenes appear to be imbued with a comic-esque aesthetic. Either way, gotta admire the effort that gearbox has, seemingly, put into this one. We definitely need a definitive aliens game (so much garbage out there...and im very pleased that this game does NOT include predators). slightly off topic: id love to see an alien(s) game that attempts to stick to the generally established guidlines of the ficitonal alien universe, but at the same time, spins a completely original tale/story.
