Aliens: Colonial Marines glimpsed in Jace Hall Show

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Sep 1st 2008 at 2:30PM }

Those of you who took the E3 absence of Aliens: Colonial Marines to mean that Gearbox had naught to show for its FPS efforts have been proven utterly wrong. As indistinctly evidenced by some new (and brief) off-screen footage, the so-not-coming-out-in-2008 shocker is shaping up to be everything you could have hoped for:

It is a game.
It is presented in the first-person perspective.
You are equipped with a device that rapidly transports projectiles into snarling faces, often attached to slimy extraterrestrials.

The footage was captured by the folks behind The Jace Hall Show, who came over, man, came over to have a look at the game in the final moments of their season finale. You can view the episode after the break or, alternatively, see the edited clip at Shacknews.

From Crackle: Jace Hall, Ep 13: SEASON FINALE!

[Thanks, Stephen]

GearBox are working on the new Alien game.
GearBox are working on the new Halo game.

Q.E.D. Flood levels will now suck even more.

Man, I've been waitin' years for this. :s

Oh and no predators = a good thing in my book, AvP games were great, but a focus on the Aliens is better imo.

But then... GearBox is making this thing. Not only did they never make an AAA game in my book, but they are also doing that Halo thing. When push comes to shove, which of the two do you think will take a backseat to the other if needed? Yeah.
