Aliens: Colonial Marines

Post Reply New Topic

The reason why I'm not posting this in the games section is due to the relative infrequency of responses I had received in that subforum when I had posted about this game/sequel before, and also it is a combination of both a video game and a more proper sequel to the second movie in the Alien trilogy (Whedon's version of Aliens I count as a bad pre-form of Firefly and not as Aliens legitimately) as compared to the lousy third movie which immediately killed off the survivors except for Ripley even though it had no need of doing so and the rest of it stank too. But anyway, for the Random subforum here, here is a preview of Aliens Colonial Marines which will be (hopefully) published in autumn of this year:

So, who else is a fan of the movie Alien, the movie Aliens, and perhaps is looking forward to a more proper sequel to the movie Aliens done in video game format?

I loved the first couple movies, though those after seem contrived and ridiculous. I always thought they should either have Aliens crash into Earth or have something about the alien home planet. Prometheus I think I read was originally supposed to look into the alien origins though I think they went into a different direction.

The game idea seems cool. I am not much of a gamer, but I would probably give it a go. The first clip looks pretty fun.

Well, the Aliens VS Predator movies already had the LV426 Xenomorphs on Earth, but they were rather contrived as to how they got that to work with so much to do with the overly exhausted explanations of aliens for pyramids and stuff. It was cool that Bishop Weyland was a good guy in the first film though and tried to BBQ a Predator.

In the 2010 Aliens VS Predator video game it does sound like they were suggesting a sequel for going to the Xenomorph homeworld. See approximate time reference 9:50 onward for that hint of what would be in the next iteration of that series of games:

Prometheus sounds to me like they're going to go into the origins of the Space Jockey, the non-xenomorph alien in the first Alien film, but also they're going to go into human origins too with so much crap about aliens giving us life or whatever else nonsense that it's going to end up saying such as at the ending of 2000's Mission to Mars which could have been infinitely better if they threw out the junk.

Cool.

I don't know why all the hate for Aliens.

Maybe they should do a game from the alien POV. Burst out of a guy's chest. Go around with acid for blood and extra set of teeth. I don't know, but I think they need to make more Alien movies. Who cares about the crappy Gladiator stuff
