Aliens Colonial Marines

[McHavyck]

The newest Game Informer is reporting that Gearbox Software (the company that did the PC port of Halo) is now working on a squad-based FPS based in the Aliens universe.

Scheduled for the consoles and PC release in 2009.

Can you imagine the MP (if there is any)?
Marines vs. Aliens.
Nuff' said.

I really want to see this game. It's nice to see these types of games brought to the next-gen consoles so we can see high-detailed aliens and stuff.

Cool stuff, i was addicted to the original alien trilogy game for the ps1

Cool thank man! I think this game has been in the works for a long time. When the original xbox came out I worked at EB and this was a game in the works. It was then scrapped. That was years ago.

Developed by Brothers-in-Arms creator, Gearbox Software, Aliens: Colonial Marines is a squad-based first-person shooter which recaptures the tension, horror and combat of the movies that created the sci-fi action horror genre. In the game, players battle Aliens using a variety of awesome weapons including pulse-rifles and flamethrowers, plus brand-new equipment and skills. Aliens: Colonial Marines will retain the atmospheric look and feel of the original films while leveraging next-generation technology to create an entirely new interactive Aliens experience. Claustrophobic environments, a brooding soundtrack, and a multitude of surprises and shocks will take the tension and action to unparalleled levels. Game modes include a single-player campaign plus four-person multiplayer player co-op, plus many more to be revealed in future months.

I'm down for some of that!!

Sounds pretty cool. I can't believe it's on pre-sale already when it's not coming out until 2009 though.

Unless you are using another source for release date info, most sites I have visted list 10/7/08 as the release date.

This could really be a great game. They can't go wrong with the subject matter, but I think I'll wait to see just how good it turns out. There are some truly outstanding squad-based FPS titles that have already set the bar pretty high. If this one's in the same league as the competition, I will definitely have to play it.

I thought havyck's first post said 2009? I didn't even know anything about it until this thread.

I believe Game Informer is saying early 2009, but who know with these release dates (and how often they slip).

That way that ass of a company can make interest off of everyones money.

You need to sign up to read the interview and to get a better look at the Rifle.

The banner at the top of the page changes everytime you go to the site.

One is a facehugger lunging out of an egg, one with cryostasis tubes and the other is a marine shooting an alien.
