Contrary to earlier indications, Aliens: Colonial Marines will come to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC late in 2008...
When SEGA's Alien FPS got a title last week early indications were that the game would get a 2009 release. In a welcome anomaly for the games industry, where releases are constantly being delayed, official word from SEGA on Aliens: Colonial Marines sets a late 2008 release.
SEGA and developers Gearbox are also set to make gamers feel like the heart of a cohesive United States Colonial Marines unit with an extensive squad system. 4 player co-op will be supported in this system while players will be able to utilise classic Aliens weapons such as pulse rifles and flamethrowers.
The game aims to recreate the brilliance of the early movies with lashings of suspense and atmosphere, which will be helped along by writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle (Battlestar Galactica and Deep Space Nine).
As a United States Colonial Marine, you'll be encountering environments influenced by the first couple of films including the abandoned Sulaco (the spiky looking transport ship in Aliens that gets Ripley + Marines to LV-426).
