Aliens: Colonial Marines
Gearbox has released the second part of its behind-the-scenes look at Aliens: Colonial Marines. In the latest video, the studio explores the iconic xenomorph enemies, weapons, and more.
In the clip below, the team explains how they wanted to show new xenomorph types and delve into aspects of the Aliens lore that hadn't yet been explored. In one section, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford enthuses about the pulse rifle, and how the game lets player see what's displayed on the weapon's overlay screen. Apparently, the Colonial Marines in the movies saw mundane details such as ammo counts and targeting information, as well as killstreak information. Did Vasquez and Gorman get a "Suicide -100 points" message in their final moments in the vents?
Aliens: Colonial Marines hits the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on February 12. Take a look at Tim's hands-on impressions of the game here, or check out the first installment of the dev diary over here.
