Aliens: Colonial Marines
Aliens: Colonial Marines" is a sci-fi horror themed first-person shooter. It is being developed by Gearbox Software and is to be published by Sega. The story is written by Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, both of whom have written for sci-fi shows Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
More Information
Not much is known about the story yet. However, it will take place after the third Alien movie and be broken down into three different acts, each containing an unknown amount of levels. The story will follow a four-man Search-and-Rescue team tasked with looking for the missing USCM team that was sent to planet LV-426 in the second Alien movie.
It is known that the game will take the player to the space ship Sulaco (where Ripley met the marines in Aliens), to the alien spaceship on LV-426 (seen in Alien), and to Fiorina 'Fury' 161 (the prison facility from Alien 3). The game offers single-player, two player split screen co-op, and online co-op. The online co-op will feature seamless jump-in/jump-out play for up to four players.
In the single-player mode, the player single-handedly controls a four-man squad by directly controlling one marine and giving orders to the other three. The player can switch control of a marine at any time.
The player will, when putting together a team of four, be able to choose from 12 different types of marines. They will have different skills, personalities and firepower unique for each marine. All marines will also be able to carry additional weapons, including pistols, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, pulse rifles, sentry guns and different types of grenades.
On 21st November 2008, Kotaku reported that the title had been dropped after cutbacks at Gearbox and Sega feared the game would go too far over budget and there would be time constraints. However, soon after, Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Studios released a statement saying the game was still in production but a shipping date was still unconfirmed.
