Publisher Sega today officially announced Aliens: Colonial Marines, the Gearbox Software-developed FPS title based on the popular movie series.

The squad-based shooter will support four-player cooperative play, and is set to hit stores within the year.

Featuring a story-driven single player campaign centering around a team of soldiers facing an alien assault, Aliens: Colonial Marines will attempt to recreate the look and feel of the original films while providing a tense FPS experience.

The game will also boast a four player co-op mode, with each player taking on a distinct role within the squad. Additional multiplayer modes will be announced at a later date.

Not much co-op game this day. Hope they done it right.

Woah thanks for the news. I always dreamt of having an Aliens/AVP game in co-op. Imagine one guy holding motion tracker and telling everyone how many enemies are coming. The motion sensor beep will be cause damn tense situations. The sounds the aliens make will make your screen crawl. Hope it will be good!

i want alien vs predator 3

Will I get to shoot predators as well, I wonder.

Also, for co-op, I wonder how it'll fare against Left 4 Dead when both are out.

Sounds like fun.

Seems to be a long time since the an Alien game came out.

Hopefully this would be able to capture the atmosphere of the movies. Especially Alien 2 or better known as Aliens.

Cheers

Scans from a magazine. Grab it before admin sees it!

looks great! but i hope they'll make avp 3.....imagine a predator co-op game..wow...

Nice, but are those cutscenes or gameplay ? and those are only shots.. there's the control system, and whether there are any showstopping bugs. Hopefully we don't end up w/another Crysis

Wow ! damn nice ! the facehugger is very details !

They should have make AVP 3. But still looking forward for this game, i like co-op game in a dark hostile places .

So,is this game will be scary? and lots of suspense?

i still like if they can make starcraft like..

protoss = predator
zerg = alien
terran = human

is its modable then ur dream will come true perhaps~

hope it can maintain the suspence element like in AVP 2 game, old game but really scary ( miss the radar beep sound )

this game 4 players only... summo squad based... lame game...

AVP 2 better than this...

is this like L4D but with aliens instead of zombies?

looks like l4d with aliens instead of zombies.

should be more scary and exciting since aliens > zombies.

4 marines, each with their own role?

hmm ...

standard
technician
support (medic)
heavy



motion sensor, i think every marine should have la. standard issue.

always on, unless they turn on the night vision.

Gearbox Software's upcoming FPS Aliens: Colonial Marines seemed to be being treated as a ******* stepchild by its publisher Sega. Once high on their list of future games, the title took a back seat when they announced a new Rebellion-made Aliens Vs Predator title. Now G4TV has an update, or rather lack of one, on Aliens: Colonial Marines from Sega president and COO Mike Hayes.

Hayes himself doesn't seem to know what to do with the title saying, "What I would say is it's unlikely that we'd launch anything within six months [after Aliens vs. Predator], but probably nine months, eight to 12 months possibly. Though we literally are looking at that at the moment and a lot of is going to depend, as well, on how successful AvP is . . " Aliens Vs Predator is due out in the (very crowded) first quarter of 2010. We suspect that if it sells well, Aliens: Colonial Marines would be released sooner rather than later. Oh, and despite Sega canceling that Aliens RPG game they still have plans for some kind of third game based on the Aliens franchise.


haiz, nid wait more longer liao
