Sega uploaded an 11-minute clip taken from a showing of the Aliens: Colonial Marines demo at E3 2011.
Monday Sega uploaded a video clip shot during E3 2011 back in June showing actual gameplay footage from Aliens: Colonial Marines. The demo lasts just over 11 minutes and features a voice-over narration by Gearbox Software head honcho, Randy Pitchford.
As previously reported, the game is a direct sequel to the 1986 movie ALIENS written and directed by James Cameron and starring Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley. If the game follows the ALIEN canon, we won't see any signs of Ripley, but as the demo footage reveals below, gamers get to return to LV-426 and the demolished colony.
As heard in the clip below, Pitchford is amusingly giddy about tromping through the remnants of a virtial alien-ridden set from what most of us know and love as the best ALIEN movie in the franchise. Cross your fingers this won't be just another ALIENS game, but something truly amazing.
Horror is nothing without uncertainty and a struggle to keep yourself and better yet others alive. No one should be safe and certain deaths should be kept to a as needed minimum.
2 bad, id really love if they mixed things like: AI Director from left 4 dead, random locations on the base for mission objectives in each playthrough, very limited ammunition+weapons and ammo found in sections you can explore.
Besides, so far i have not heard its coming to the pc, so im guessing ill pass on this one
HAHAHAAHAH
Exactly what is wrong with games today. FPS on a a Nintendo console, how sad. Looks like more boring console/on the rails shooter with scripted made-for-the-movie/lowest-common-denominator stuff
- now if that scripting is dynamic.... you fast reactions can save a buddy from that vent shaft side attack - twood be near perfect
(not a fan of invulnerable scrippted mobs for minor play through scenes either)
Great looking graphics and better animation, could be loads of fun
you either have no imagination or think that the wiiu only has a wii mote interface. you know i can see that while using the pad thing, in your lap would be firing it normally, but than bringing it up would be iron sight on the pad itself.
i personally think that this could make the fps funner on a console than on the pc
and i do find it funny how people complain about the wiiu, when in all likelyness, if it becomes the lead platform, tessellation will finally be put into every big game at launch. its honestly like you all forgot that the console, specifically the 360 is commonly the lead platform, and that the wiiu would have a gpu with a tessellation engine in it.
