I got an answer from Anton (sort of) regarding news

[Doktorwzzerd]

I've been periodically lurking recently looking for patch news and just found this thread, man that really really sucks Foz.

Also my vote goes to Aliens for best in series, has anyone heard anything about that Gearbox titel: "Aliens: Colonial Marines" game? Is that dead?

@ Stealth finger: Its not as if it is a spitting image its just when you look at it you can see bits off harrier, The nose looks similar and you have arched wings with armaments underneath. i suppose its like a blot image "What do you see"

Like i said its mainly inspired by the Cobra and Phantom, im not saying it looks like them but they are what the filmakers were inspired by.

Theyre waiting to see how AvP does before starting back up. The more AvP sells the more likely colonial marines is to come out. And by the looks of things AvP is going to sell very well. The old games where fantastic!

You know what i am very ashamed to say i never played many of the old games,
I cant remember what most were called but i do remember one or two DooM style alien game which i absolutely loved! i played the hell out Concrete jungle on the Ps2. Never got around to playing the PC AvP (Forgot the name) As afew of my friends said it was pretty fun

Hang your head in shame lol. Get a hold of a copy asap. You'll be able to pick it up for a few quid at the shops or free from certain sites. Its definetly worth a play. 2 is probably the better one. The marine campaign is fantastic in many ways and for the Alien campaign you start as a facehugger looking for some poor guy to do the whole facehugging thing, then your a chest burster avoiding all the guys with guns (who found teh other guy and know your somewhere) only then do you grow up and start running up walls etc. You know what is possibly the coolest thing, to get more health as an alien you have to eat scientists heads! Find them cowering in toilets etc and chow down lol

Haha, that sounds excellent! im downloading the avp2 demo now, i wonder if the new AvP game will use the whole facehugger idea because that brilliant!

besides, its no brand new game so i should be able to run it on this rediculously s*** computer

I really hope they do

its sad to hear that the devs have been silenced by the publishers, if thats the truth. i was looking forward to all things promised (fixed planes, fixed online, cockpits etc) but we can only hope now i guess.

and regarding the gearbox title aliens: colonial marines, it is very much alive as far as i know. ive been lurking the gearboxity.com forums for years and it seems that a:cm will pick speed as soon as the new AvP game is released. the reason is that sega is publishing both. personally i have great expectations on a:cm (mostly because its gearbox) and think it will be better than AvP.

Ahhhh i see thanks Makes sense now that i know sega are publishing both.

I do believe A:CM could be better as it has just the two species to focus on from which you control just one, enableling a more in-depth experience,
unlike AVP where each species has its own characteristics therefore limiting what you can do with the game and where you can take it.

Either way both will kick ass
