although, it would be alot of fun to do smart gun salutes with the motion controllers

Randy Pitchford from Gearbox has confirmed that the WiiU version will use the new controller for 3 purposes:

1) As a motion tracker
2) For the blueprint display, like Hudson used in Hadley's Hope
3) For a hacking minigame


#1 just sold me on the WiiU.

thanks for the info, I didnt want to spend extra money on the Xbox, my extra money will go towards the different game versions. Do anyone if retailers will have a pre-order skins? it would be fun to run around as Hicks or Hudson in the game.

Does anyone know if you can use the Move/SharpShooter controller with it? I've recently played Killzone 3 with the gun and it was excellent. Shooting a PR with my Move gun would be really good. I found it much easier to aim with the gun than with a stick.

Glad to see this thread is still alive, lol.
Also glad to hear that the game is still going strong. I'm a pro-PC guy so I will most likely be getting this for my rig.

I hope the story in the game will be strong enough to be considered a true sequel to Aliens... seeing as Gearbox, Sega and the press are really hyping it up as such.

There's a HUGE write-up on A:CM on Kotaku today, including Pitchford explaining the plot line. Some may consider it spoiler-ific, but of that sort of thing doesn't bother you, here's a LINK.

A couple of things I find interesting in the article are (1) the Colonial Marines come with more than just half a platoon this time. Way more, like an entire transport ship full. (2) The developers tapped the Tech Manual to flesh the game out more, so we will likely notice references, gear, etc. that weren't in the film. Still, I don't see an explanation for how the colony survived the nuclear detonation of the atmosphere processor's power plant.

One paragraph in however:



If they've forgotten Hicks...

That's no worse than 90% of the thumbnail outlines of film plots in most TV Guides which are obviously written by people who've not actually watched the film and have just tried to condense the already sketchy back of the video/DVD outlines!

You know who you are!

What's up with the Queens arms here? The big set seem to be mounted on her back somehow, not attached at all or is it just a bad angle?

Not to mention the legs ...

Rockpapershotgun are probably my most respected games journalists, it appears they're also aliens fanboys.

I think the cast/crew list for A:CM on IMDB misspells it too...

It's a very easy/stupid mistake to make.

*cough*

The article mentioned in OXM here:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10190

Apparently there's similar ones (they're all previews, rather than reviews) in UK PC Gamer and Official Playstation Magazine too.

Official pdf of the OXM article:

http://cdn.medialib.oxm.co.uk/uploads/O ... ngpage.pdf

It shows more pics of the Xenos, confirming Gareth's observation that they seem based around Resurrection Aliens, rather than Aliens ones, with longer/narrower back tubes, longer fingers, etc.

Dude, you shoulda seen 'em in person. The booth was fantastic - they even rigged up a smoke machine and some erratically-flashing lights at the entrance, triggered to a magnetic switch on one of the two sliding doors. Absolutely badass.
