Aliens: Colonial Marines - WTF Happened!?!

[knj]

Posted on Alien FanPage early today, and this is one of the best things i've seen in this game (beside that pulsrifle coverin 3/4 of you fov)

[-HP-]

That's an awesome screenshot man!

afaik that trailer came straight from Gearbox - Sega marketing didn't even know it existed before it came out ...

Really? Cognitive dissonance here. Sorry Gearbox, but if that's true you can do better. I still am pretty excited for the game and that trailer won't deter me.

Well that's a relief.

Indeed.

Oh, this is brill. The writer of the game, Mikey Neumann, has disowned this trailer, and promised that the dialogue is not from the game!

so who is standing behind this shit !?

marketing person 1: how do we market this to the Call of Duty generation? they've probably never even heard of the alien franchise... in fact i myself am only 25 years old and have only seen alien vs predator

marketing person 2: hurrrrrrrrrr

marketing person 1: good point

marketing person 3: duke nukem forever was a great success, let's get the same voice actor and shit out a script all those pathetic video game losers will lap up like the scum they are

marketing person 2: durrrrrrrrrrr, that'll be 40 million dollars

i was actually in on this meeting, hopefully they won't mind me posting this transcript

something worth watching !

[e-freak]

question to the gearbox guys: is that Contact Extended Trailer rendered entirely in engine?

[Izuno]

Now we're talking.

[dux]

That was really good!

[PogoP]

Pretty cool trailer, I thought I recognized the soundtrack.. It's from Moon.

Thought the animation was a bit shit at times, felt very robotic.
