Space Voyager Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Just to bring you up to date on Aliens: Colonial Marines. C'n'P from AVPGalaxy forum, a "What we know" thread: Full TitleAliens: Colonial Marines Release DateRecently announced by Sega to be late 2008, but many other sources have said 2009. The original press release estimated late 2009. So I guess it could be anywhere between those time periods. FormatsThe game is being developed for PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Game EngineThe developers are using the most recent version of the UE3 engine. StoryThe story is written by Bradley Thompson and David Weddle (Correct Names) who most recently wrote for the remake of the Battlestar Galactica series and also worked on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series. It has been mentioned that we will be going up against an enemy faction (Pretty much confirmed as W-Y) that want to harness the alien as a biological weapon. It has also been said that we will get to learn more about the alien race known as the Space Jockey. Here is the plot set-up published in the GameInformer magazine:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 IGN's new strategy gaming column "Warplay" takes first aim. :: For the lazier ones among thee there's one mention of X-Com in this opening issue: "Microprose's brilliant tactical game X-COM doesn't allow for meaningful policy decisions in that you can't negotiate with the aliens or compete with them on a purely economic level, but you do have tremendous flexibility in setting your technological and manufacturing priorities."

Slaughter Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Could be interesting, but nothing in the details there to excite me too much. What is it you think sound so appealing Azrael? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Oh, one of my favourite sci-fi movies is Aliens, if not my most favourite one. I enjoyed Aliens vs Predator 2 a great deal (talking about the game, not the movie, that one is somewhere in my room gathering dust, where it should be), most particularly the Marine campaign. I LOVE the LV426 setting for a horror sci-fi shooter, and the Aliens, ooh the Aliens, my favourite alien species in ANY game or movie I have ever played/watched.The idea of a game like AvP2 but with newer graphics is just terribly exciting to me edit: OMFG, now I'm SUPER excited, just look at these screenshots!https://www.vidaextra.com/2008/03/05-captur...olonial-marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I love the Aliens setting too! Alien is superb (but suffers a little from it's age), Aliens is fantastic (and suffers less from age), Alien 3 wasn't much in the regular edition but is better in directors cut and Alien Resurrection is okay. AvP sucks, and I haven't bothered seeing the second yet. There are some great Alien comics too (as well as AvP etc.), and the few books I read are passable (but no more). As for the games, I preferred the first one, but the second was good too. I agree it will be interesting with a new game, but some of the things above didn't sit too well with me (script heavy, die only at some points etc.). We'll see when it gets closer to completion.

Azrael Strife Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 The "your squad members don't die until special parts" thing sounds very similar to what they did in Call of Duty 4. Trust me, it isn't as bad as it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yes, KOTF is out despite all the naysayers. I admit I lost hope long ago. I downloaded it a week ago but didn't have time to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Nothing new. But I'll tell you this... For this game I'll get a new computer even if I have to sell my kidney! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Why don't you guys move these posts out of this topic and into a separate topic about copy-protection? Anyway, Doom 4 announced. I was excited with Doom 3. This time it's about as interesting as another Madden game. I'm sure the graphics will be great.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I was excited with Doom 3.I didn't like it... Mostly because you always knew that every time you heard anything you needed to turn around 180 and shoot. The only difference was that Doom has an excuse for the constant enemy pop-up; it's hell...

Strong Bob Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I thought Doom 3 was pretty good. Although it felt more like a "System Shock Lite". Basically System Shock with a lot less features. To be honest I thought it was a much higher quality game than Half-Life 2, which was it's rival at the time... So I will probably see what Doom 4 has to offer. The ironic part is that I was the only person on Earth that was not excited about Doom 3 coming out. And I seem to be the only one that could appreciate it... Funny how much hype can hurt a game.

Azrael Strife Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Any Alone in the Dark fans here? Never played any of them, well, except the first but not much and dont really remember much of it, but the screenshots look like a great zombies game, and I do love them (wish there was a good new Resident Evil game for PC, all new ones are for consoles...), Ill have to give it a try. Anyone here expecting this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Looking forward to the new AITD, Az. I really liked the original. Always had it quite separate, in my mind, from the Resi games, where almost all the baddies could be killed. Hope it's gone back to its roots and isn't just a Resi clone.

Space Voyager Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 But Doom 3 has that same excuse?I meant Doom 3. This "excuse" is a poor one IMO. They could come up with MUCH better gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
