Aliens Colonial Marines

McHavyck · Feb 15, 2008

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. :drool

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

its gonna be awesome . Will it have as much of a fan base as it used too , in the gaming scene though ?. I hope it doesn't flop. Maybe only die hard fans like us lot will pick this one up. Especially with the price of games nowadays !.

I'm sure the cover might change, but this looks cool none the less.

Cool thank man! :rock

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.
