Aliens: Colonial Marines

[MC]

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (February 21, 2008) – SEGA® of America Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today revealed details of the highly-anticipated squad-based first-person shooter video game, Aliens: Colonial Marines™. Licensed through an exclusive agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising and developed by Gearbox Software, the game will be available on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows-based PC in late 2008.

In Aliens: Colonial Marines, players are part of a United States Colonial Marine squad and must prepare to face an Aliens assault more intense and horrific than ever before. Driven by a compelling and original story penned by renowned writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, 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.

Packing classic Aliens weaponry ranging from pulse rifles to flamethrowers as well as brand-new equipment and skills all within a squad-based combat system, players will become an elite United States Colonial Marine. Featuring claustrophobic environments, a brooding soundtrack, and a multitude of surprises and shocks, players will battle against menacing alien hordes in strikingly detailed levels that include the stark interiors of the abandoned Sulaco and unique environments created specifically for the game.

Aliens: Colonial Marines will feature a story driven single-player mode and an all-new four player co-op mode allowing players to share the chilling experience with three friends. In co-op mode, each player will assume the persona of a United States Colonial Marine and have a distinct role to play in the completion of every mission. Additionally, more multiplayer modes will be revealed later in the year that will complete the Aliens video game experience.

I don't mean to sound overly critical.. but Sega can't even manage to make their own properties into good games anymore (Last few Sonic games have been horrible, NiGHTS sequel is horrible).. I can't imagine them making a good game based on Aliens. @_@

I almost got my hopes up for a new AVP. Curse you. ;(

 

[SailorAlea]

Sorry. I genuinely HOPE Sega makes a comeback. I loved my Dreamcast and Saturn.

You just want a facefull of alien wing wong Deverz.



I think the game sounds like it could be fun.

sounds neat, i always liked being scared ****less in avp with the screaming aliens and darkness and what not.

i imagine this game will be awsome the first couple of times you play it, and if you're playing with four friends who haven't played it before, it'll be even better.

unless they have some kind of randomisation script, it'll get boring when the scare factor goes.

What?

Made by Sega?

Huh?


This is being made by Gearbox not Sega. Sega is publishing it not developing it.
