They’re coming out of the goddamn walls in the latest trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines
It's safe to say that we're just a little excited about the upcoming release of Aliens: Colonial Marines here at DoG. Whilst the AvP games were okay, and offered some interesting takes on the legendary movies, there was always something missing.
What we really wanted was not to play as the Alien, as cool as they are, or to play as the overpowered Predator. By far the most entertaining aspects of all of the AvP games was the Marine. Man with cool guns against an alien army equals good times.
Well, Gearbox software is going to give us just that, and with Aliens: Colonial Marines it's all about the struggle between man and xenomorph, all set in perhaps one of the most iconic deep space outposts committed to film, LV-426's Hadley's Hope.
Continuing directly after the events of Aliens, the game will see another Marine detachment deploy to LV-426 to see what happened to Burke, Hicks, Ripley and Co. Of course, we all know what to expect.
Finally this looks like the game we've wanted for a very long time, and if this latest trailer is anything to go by, then we're in for one hell of a ride. Packed to the rafters with genuine Aliens style, everything from the colony design, lighting, voice work, and Pulse Rifle SFX are spot on, and the Aliens are looking very tasty indeed.
Aliens: Colonial Marines isn't set to arrive until late in the year, but this trailer should help keep you going for now.
