Aliens Colonial Marines has now appeared on Steam. Even though they list the game for a Spring 2012 release date, Sega has confirmed that Aliens CM will not hit shelves until Fall 2012.

“You and your friends against the deadliest killers in the galaxy. Another glorious day in the Corps.

Buckle up, soldier! Welcome to Aliens™: Colonial Marines. Created by Gearbox, the critically acclaimed and fan-favourite developers of Borderlands and Brothers In Arms, you and your friends will become the most badass military outfit in the galaxy – the US Colonial Marines. It’s up to you to not just survive, but wipe out the Xeno infestation.”

Aliens Colonial Marines Delayed Until Fall 2012

Posted on: Thursday, January 26th, 2012

GameInformer received an official statement from Sega today about the delay of the Aliens Colonial Marines title until this fall. Originally Aliens Colonial Marines was scheduled for a Spring 2012 release date, but unfortunately things don’t always go as planned, especially with game developing. Here’s the statement sent to GameInformer from Sega today:

“Aliens: Colonial Marines is a process of creativity and invention and those don’t necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line,” SEGA and Gearbox Software said in a statement sent to Game Informer.

“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.”

Not too disappointed about this news to be honest, I think I speak for many when I say I would rather wait an extra couple of months and have a masterpiece than wrap up development too early and end up with an un-polished product which only barely satisfies.

In related news our friends over at AvPGalaxy got the scoop on a new Aliens Colonial Marines trailer set to air tomorrow on IGN! Along with the update, a new screen cap was released for the game. (seen above)

New Aliens CM Interview & Preview

Posted on: Thursday, December 8th, 2011

MyTopTrailers.com has posted up a new interview which they recently conducted with Aliens Colonial Marines Project lead Matthew Powers, where they address certain aspects of the game. A lot of what is said we already know, but some interesting facts were mentioned; mainly with regards to the ties to the Aliens film. Matt Powers mentions how in various levels you will see scenes from the movie, like the hole in the floor where Hicks and Ripley tried to rescue Newt after she fell down that shaft, and nother scene where you will be crawling in an air vent and you’ll see the exploded portion where Vasquez took her and Gorman’s life trying to stop the Aliens – you apparently also find Vasquez’s dog tags! On top of that they go on to discuss more features of the game, the co-op ability and competative multiplayer.

In related news, a new preview has been posted on NowGamer.com, which features a negative take on the game’s progress. A good read to hear both sides of how the fans feel Aliens Colonial Marines will play out. Have a read here.

Giger’s Alien on Prometheus Set?

Posted on: Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

AvPGalaxy are reporting that one of their sources have seen what looks to be H.R Giger’s original Alien creature on the set of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus during this past summer. This is what the source had to say:

“According to the source the suit appeared to be dark, possibly brown as the original Giger suit was. It’s skull was definitely domed but my source was unable to see if it was transparent or featured the original human skull (not that it could be seen in the movie anyway).” – AvPGalaxy.net

In related Prometheus news, it appears IMDB was misinformed when they posted that True Blood Television series star Rutina Wesley would be playing a role in Scott’s Prometheus film this summer. It appears she is not in fact part of the cast lineup and never was to begin with… according to this article.

Thanks to our Twitter news affiliate @ZsolitDarkoo for both tips!
