Yesterday Gearbox Software released the latest trailer for their upcoming release of Aliens: Colonial Marines, however it was not well received by fans or even the makers of the game itself.The fans seem disappointed by the dialogue the trailer features, and with reason, as it’s full of generic one-liners that you would find in every cheesy action movie. Take a minute to watch the trailer above.
Interestingly the games’ writer Mikey Neumann has gone on Twitter to publicly state that the dialogue found in the Aliens trailer is not even in the game and insured everyone knew that he did not write it.
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.
Player 2 takes some quiet time to look back at some of the most hyped failures of the past 10 years.
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.
Thanks to a bustling mod community on Steam, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines actually has a stellar multiplayer experience to offer these days.
It made me cancel my pre order, if it was Alien related it would look even more generic. Seriously this should of beena third person shooter instead, where your alone in a dark, scary, abandoned environment....think of the first Dead Space....just Issac, the ship and the Necromorphs.
The voice acting was pretty terrible, typical soldier grunts with their cheesy one liners
It's sad because they've been hyping it up for ages and it looks pretty bad
They should of done a third person game set after the 4th film with Ripley.
The most interesting thing about this news is the fact that the game's writer went out on Twitter and said he didn't write any of the dialogue in that trailer then deleted his tweet. This already points to bad signs with the game in some capacity and I'm sure alot of people probably missed out that this happened.
I'll be picking this up in the bargain bin, along with DmC and Dead Space 3.
Why they decided to show the butt ugly console version is beyond me, those graphics are ugly as hell and so are the animations.
Ironsights for this game are also stupid as hell.
wow that trailer was horrible. and i had heard so much praise for this game based on a previous trailer. i wonder wht trailer ppl were reffering to.
