GDC08: Aliens - Colonial Marines hits late 08, 4-player co-op
An early morning press release from SEGA has revelaed that Aliens: Colonial Marines will be hitting the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in late 2008. The announcement dismisses an earlier report from Game Informer magazine that put the game in a 2009 release window.
In the upcoming first-person shooter, players are part of a United States Colonial Marine squad and do battle with classic Alien enemies from the film franchise that began in 1979. In what is quickly becoming out favorite trend for FPS games, SEGA revealed the game will include a campaign in both single-player and 4-player co-op flavors. Actually our favorite trend in gaming are those cute mini-game complilations. Yeah, let's please have more of those.

I'm hoping this may open a path to a good Predator FPS down the line sooner than later..

Surely better than a Britney joke?!?!?

This has the all the makings of being, potentially speaking, the greatest game ever made.

Hope this turns out to be good, I remember how excited I was for AvP on the Jaguar.
Remember that?

I hope this is going to be at least as good as the AVP/Gold on the PC from years ago. The pessimist in me says it won't be, though.

Xav, the image is brilliant! Way to go man!

If they can deliver on their promises, this game will be great. My biggest problem with the AvP games was the way the Aliens just kind of bum rushed you. Sure they would climb on walls and celing, but you knew they would be coming down to get in your grill-piece. This one.....wow i just cant even tell you how hopeful I am that they get this right. THEY CAN DRAG YOU INTO THE FUCKING VENTS! God i hope they dont fuck this up.
