Make contact with this Aliens: Colonial Marines cinematic trailer
There’s no gameplay. There’s no dialogue. There’s not much of anything except for a super classy look at the Colonial Marines doing their thing in Sega’s upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines.
I’d still rather be playing this game this Spring, but this trailer is a nice consolation prize for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and prospective Wii U owners everywhere.
Spring release for Aliens: Colonial Marines nuked from orbit
Apologies for the headline, but it was the only way to be sure you’d read this update on the release date for Aliens: Colonial Marines as the oft-delayed squad shooter has been delayed by Sega again.
Speaking to Game Informer, the publisher has confirmed that the delay was due to a desire to make sure the game is as polished as a Xenomorph’s head.
OK, not really, but Sega (and developer Gearbox Software) did cite a need for more development time as the primary reason for the delay:
Aliens: Colonial Marines is a process of creativity and invention and those don’t necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line. While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don’t want to sacrifice the creative process just for the sake of following a blue print. We prefer to have the creative discovery shape that blue print because our goal is to make a great game, and we are prioritizing this goal over the previously targeted date.
Aliens: Colonial Marines will now be available in the Fall for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. A Wii U version will also be available sometime this Fall or whenever it is Nintendo’s new console will launch.
First Aliens: Colonial Marines trailer nukes us from orbit
Acid Blood? Check.
Power Loaders? Check.
Moonmen All Over the Place? Check.
Something Getting Nuked From Orbit? Check!
Yup, it’s an Aliens game all right. It may be hard to believe, but this is the first full-length trailer for Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines. The long-in-development shooter is finally nearing completion (it’s currently scheduled for a Spring 2012 release) and it’s looking as sharp as a knife flying between Bishop’s fingers.
All we need now is for someone to scream “Game over, man! Game over!”

Nintendo @ E3 11: Third party Wii U games include Tekken, Assassin’s Creed, a lot more
After playing a video showing some of the industry’s top developers singing the praises of the Wii U, Nintendo unveiled the third party lineup that’ll be available for the system:
- Aliens: Colonial Marines
- Darksiders II (which will be a launch title)
- Dirt for Wii U
- Metro: Last Light
- Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge (working title)
- Tekken for Wii U (with a stylus-powered character creator)
- Batman: Arkham City (which elicited cheers from the crowd)
- Assassin’s Creed for Wii U
- Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online
- Unnamed Electronics Arts games
- Unnamed EA Sports games
So basically, every hot PS3 and Xbox 360 game is also in development for the Wii U. While BioShock Infinite wasn’t on the list, Irrational’s Ken Levine was included in the developer montage and seemed very impressed with the Wii U.
Whoa!

Sonic leads Sega’s E3 lineup… again
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. It’s a popular phrase that goes back almost 200 years and Sega has certainly adopted it in their crusade to create another great Sonic the Hedgehog game on a console. The publisher will try again this year as Sonic Generations (3DS, PS3, Xbox 360) leads their E3 lineup. Sega is so sure they’ve got it right this time that they’re even giving the public a sneak peek at the game at the Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 8 at 6 PM (Pacific Time).
The remainder of Sega’s lineup is pretty diverse and seems to have a little bit of something for everyone:
- The long-gestating squad-based shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines
- Platinum Games’ latest brawler, Anarchy Reigns
- The Terminator-esque Binary Domain
- Movie-to-game adaptation Captain America: Super Soldier
- The reborn puzzler Crush 3D
- The XBLA debut of Treasure’s Guardian Heroes
- The brilliant light gun shooter House of the Dead: Overkill, on the PS3 for the first time.
- Downloadable action title Renegade Ops
- The first M-rated Kinect game, Rise of Nightmares
- The rally racer Sega Rally Online Arcade, which is available now
- And Shinobi emerging from the shadows on the 3DS
Sega also has a few surprises in store for the E3 Expo as they’ve promised “more than 13 new games across all major platforms,” but they only listed 12 games. Considering the company’s close relationship with Nintendo, I’d bet good money that we’ll get a Wii 2 announcement or two.
More information on Sega’a announced E3 slate can be found after the break. (more…)

Aliens: Colonial Marines dated Spring 2012
The license seems to have been in limbo forever, but Sega and Gearbox are proud to announce that Aliens: Colonial Marines will be coming to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 next Spring, 2012. Gearbox President Randy Pitchford called the game a “dream project” for the studio, while Senior VP Gary Knight of Sega said, “Aliens: Colonial Marines will be THE definitive Aliens gaming experience.”
The latest stab at video games by the Alien franchise hopes to be a full fledged “new chapter” in the universe, down to the weapons used by the characters. Colonial Marines will also bring you to familiar territory of LV-426 and Hadley’s Hope when it releases next year.
Sega will bring Aliens: Colonial Marines to next week’s E3 Expo and has unveiled a new teaser trailer, which you can find after the break. (more…)
