Aliens: Colonial Marines has been generally labeled a failure by critics. One of the game’s shortcomings is the way the popular alien Xenomorphs are animated. In short: they look terribly laughable as they meander around. Too bad Obsidian's Aliens-themed role-playing game was canceled, because they got it right.

Developer Obsidian's Aliens-themed role-playing game named Aliens: Crucible was recently cancelled, but a video released by character animator Danny Garnett shows that its aliens performed all the stalking, swiping, and generally creepy movements becoming of a proper Xenomorph. 

Watch the video below to see how Obsidian’s animations were shaping up:

    WHY? An aliens rpg would have been wonderful.

    Anything would be an improvement over this outsourced piece of crap. Thanks for ruining my most anticipated GOTY Gearbox...oh, and as far as your affiliation with the Aliens franchise goes... GET AWAY FROM HER YOU *****!!!

    This would've been great. I can picture it having the Xenomorph life cycle. An Alien game needs that.

    I wonder if an Aliens game that played like the new X-COM would be any good. Maybe the horror element would take a hit, but I feel like it'd be a fitting gameplay style for the series.

    I had more pleasure watching that minute of animation than I did any gameplay of the final version of Colonial Marines that has been before my eyes.

    The animations looked pretty good. Too bad it got cancelled.

    I really hate when footage of cancelled games gets released. I can't help but get depressed about what could have been.

    This is better than the entirety of Colonial Marines.

    That would have probably been better than Colonial marines

    It's missing hilarious T-Rex movement.

    I thought Rebellion got the Aliens' animation right as well in Aliens vs. Predator (2010).
