Aliens Colonial Marines Developer Diary #2

Aliens Colonial Marines Developer Diary #2

Xenomorphs need hugs and bullets

Written by SgtDigglesworth on 07 August 12 at 21:35 | Credit to METAL MIN0TAUR

Xenomorphs, the swift one-mouth inside of the other colony of vigilant hunters, are being brought to life in Gearbox Software's upcoming release of Aliens: Colonial Marines. With the recent developer diary, members of the Gearbox team indulged how they made a unique 'hive' mentality for the alien colony, which is set to create a more visceral and intense experience for the band of marines.



Are you ready to take on the xenomorphs and blast your way through the colony with a pulse rifle? Aliens: Colonial Marines could make an early Valentines Day gift when it is released on February 12th, 2013.

Let's hope this isn't just a lot of hot air.

Also hoping those 'triple kill' and 'kill streak' notification pop ups aren't in the campaign mode. Talk about an atmosphere killer.

I've never been that big a fan of Alien, but this looks interesting.

1. Its "Zee-noss" not "Zen-ohs"
2. This looks alright but anyone else think that a survival/horror game would better suit this series?

TSG Dwaggie said:Get it out, or shut up about itThat sounds like something my girlfriend would say.

OT: Seriously though, have they really shown us anything that we haven't seen before in other Alien games? New types of Alien. Pulse rifle. Smart Gun. Squad AI. Marine banter. I mean, I expect these. I just ask that it's done well.
