Aliens: Colonial Marines

Aliens: Colonial Marines 'Xenos vs. Marines' Dev Diary Hunted Down
Written Tuesday, August 07, 2012 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

A new developer diary for Aliens: Colonial Marines has been hatched by SEGA, with the fellas from Gearbox Software discussing the invention of new breeds of Xenomorph and a new squad of Marines to take them down, as well as certain unseen elements of the movies' weapons.

The team talk about their favourite weapons and the creation of scopes and interfaces for the SMART Gun and other weapons, while imagining exactly how a Xenomorph hive functions. There's a glimpse at concept art showing some of the newly introduced breeds, as well as gameplay footage from the game's multiplayer in the video.

There's plenty to check out in the video below then, with contributions from all of the key Gearbox players. Aliens: Colonial Marines is out on February 12th, 2012.

I really hope they haven't done the classic bullshit of putting so much effort into multipalyer the singleplayer ends up being rubbish. All I want is a decent Aliens campaign.

I agree with you #1. Also with as much work that is being put into this game, I seriously hope they put a equal amount of work into a predator game. You can't have just humans and aliens anymore, you need to involve the predators since they all 3 races do have a back story intertwined.

Sorry #2 but the aliens vs predator is garbage they fuckin rock on their own but put em togeather and it turns to shit, keep em on their own maybe bring out a predator game where your the predator and you get points for kills like bulletstorm for being the most inventive with kills .

@2 Bull the AVP series has to be the worst cross over ever Paul W S Anderson who's a tit of a director only did it because no one else would and if it wasn't for the director of Predator 2 putting in an Alien skull in the Predator ship part near the end we wouldn't have had to suffer from that crappy series of films.

Aliens Vs Humans has and will always be the best in my opinion of the aliens franchise I consider Alien and Aliens the only 2 that should be the series 3 and Resurrection should be burnt to the ground and covered over with crappiness because they where bad well 3 was ok but 4 was just plain awful.

They cant and will never do a perfect predator film Predator was the best and always will be unless some jerk actually tries to remake it because thats all the movie industry is doing now e.g ROBOCOP

@ 4, AvP isn't the worst crossover ever, just the worst film crossover. The AvP comic series back in the 90's was pure epic, and gave you an awesome insight into the Predators culture.

On topic; I can't believe this game isn't out yet. Didn't it get announced like 4 years ago?

I don't think they could've given this project to a better developer, Gearbox is awesome! =)
