Aliens: Colonial Marines 'Contact' trailer fills us with creeping dread

"You may think you’ve already seen this CG trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines featuring a tense stand-off between the marines and the hideous acid-drippping Xenomorphs, but SEGA and Gearbox have injected even more spine-tingling creepiness into the previously released video, giving that gripping feeling of absolute dread even more time to sink its claws into you."

You do realise this is CGI right? But the ingame graphics are not far off.

I'll be getting this. It looks phenomenal.

and the animations were quite poor to.

My excitement for this game dulled when the gameplay walkthrough by the devs looked utter garbage with the AI glitching out and aliens being stuck in place, and the only things they could ever talk about were "Hey check out this neat thing that was in the movie!" because the gameplay itself it so disappointing and they need fanservice to distract from it.

Then I saw that the main mode everyone was excited for (the horde mode) has been gutted from the game so that they can sell it as DLC later.

Yeah, they won't be seeing any money from me. I hope this crapfest bombs. Could have been great, but alas.

This will be my next xbox360 game purchased.

A part of me is so glad I sold my WiiU..... But this was the #1 game I was on the fence of holding on to it for.

That WiiU tablet is just perfect for this game, I'm also curious to see if this games ends up being graphically superior and/or at least 1080p

grailly4096d ago

huh?! why would you buy a console just to sell it a month ot so later?

reminds me of the Gears of War/ Mad world song trailer.

Roundtable: Games That Should Have Received a Sequel

Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.

The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.

The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.

Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.

I still play AvP on PS3 to this day. That game had fun multiplayer too.
