Alien: Colonial Marines
So looking forward to this, was gutted when it got cancelled first time around, Aliens 2 was one of the scariest games I have ever played - the sound of those things heading for you in the dark gave me shivers.
We also have an AVP sequel to look forward to, I want a pulse rifle in my hands again.:D

At least we have AvP to keep us occupied in the meantime, the trailer looks incredible, mmmm pulse rifle
Sega have actually said that they are waiting to see how AVP does before they even think about releasing Colonial Marines.
Apparently CM is now a shadow of what it was going to be though, with the focus being a Left 4 Dead style online game with no real single player story mode.
aww that better not be the case, CM looked way better than avp and would prefer to play cm. I doubt id buy avp too,
For a heads up on anything AvP I reccommend this site which I am a forum member of. http://www.avpgalaxy.net/index.php
Hope it helps.
While I love L4D, I want CM to be storyline driven and of course throw in some classic Aliens quotes for good measure.

Oh, and the main reason for this bump...

I can't wait for this. It looks like my dream Aliens game:D Please don't f*ck it up, Gearbox!
I recall a magazine getting a playthrough and said it was heavily scripted and very linear with no way to change the outcome of a script so if someone was being dragged away by an alien you couldn't stop it from happening.
And whats with the pulse rifles only carrying 50 rounds, wasn't it 99?
You've got to remember though that Duke was only "polished" by Gearbox, the vast majority of the game was already there when they acquired the rights to the franchise, they merely pushed it out the door, so Gearbox aren't to blame for DNF's failings, if you want to blame anyone, blame 3D Realms. Gearbox made Borderlands and the Brothers in Arms games too, both of which are examples of good games (and critically and commercially lauded).
People shouldn't write Gearbox off because of DNF.
It had better not be scripted to high-heaven!
Still, have a new trailer: Suspense
Oh, and feast your eyes on this:
Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector's Edition confirmed
Nice :cool:
They could have chucked in a life-sized Pulse Rifle with that CE.

Not enough Alien action, and they are not the fearsome foe they should be
Clunky aliens, lots of defending set doorways and QTE kills..........
Is not the game it could have been........ (The Alien trilogy and resurrection game on the ps1 were moody, dark, suspenseful and that seems to be missing)
Pity!
*cancels preorder*
This preview on top of others that I have read that state similar is enough to put me off now. Gearbox you suck balls.
The Gearbox forums are entertaining as the blowhard apologist fans are relentlessly trying to defend these niggles as more and more people are now starting to complain.
I loved that game, it was a technological triumph for the Playstation, and terrify to boot too.
Erm no they don't ...
TBH it was always going to be hit or miss with this game. The fact that EVERYONE has been waiting for a decent Aliens game even after quite a few releases shows it's really not that easy to nail it down.
This should have been so much more than an on-rails shooter.
