Aliens: Colonial Marines Gently Reminds You of its Impending Release With This Latest Trailer

Shame, but this trailer is a massive turn-off for me. But then again, I just wanna be Ripley.

Been watching other trailers. The STORY trailer is a much better one. I think this one is just trying to push the more over the top badass marines part of it. 

I wonder if this is from before it all goes to shit. I know from another chunk of gameplay they are pushed back by the aliens and your guy is running around as his team is slaughtered.  
 
It could be like the movies how they where all baddassed up untill the real alien fighting began. 

I've wanted a good Aliens game ever since I saw the movies as a kid but I fear this is not going to be it. It needs to have atmosphere and make you feel scared and powerless but it looks like it is just going to be a average shooter with really obvious callbacks to the movie. I hope i'm wrong.

I actually cringed watching this.

I am in the minority, but I hope that man is in the final game. Not that it will make it any better, but it will give me a reason to keep playing this mediocre looking game

Hoo-ee, that sure was a really bad trailer, and the game looks like boring shit too.

This is one of the worst trailers I have ever seen.

Hope the final product is better than that trailer because that was some awfully pandering shit.

Will Ferrell as Harry Caray as Marine Sgt.???

I'm still in the same mindset as Ryan stated a while back on this, without the small team of marines you get to know & care about with hordes of marines & aliens dying that this just turns into a shooting gallery that seems rather uninspiring & generic feel of nothing good or bad about it, just forgettable.

Honestly, that's all I need. It looks like an Aliens game in the same vein as the Left 4 Dead series, which should be fun. If I want an engaging story with characters I want to care about, the last place I'll look is a video game, instead I'll watch the movie. Nothing wrong with generic as long as you're having a good time. If this game provides that, I'll be happy.

I think this trailer needs a big disclaimer before it saying that it wasn't written by Mikey Neumann, who's written the rest of the game...because, DAMN that was bad writing.

Sadly this doesn't look like anything special so far, maybe even like Gearbox is pulling another DNF.

Exactly. The trailer might as well start with "From the studio that brought you Duke Nukem Forever... comes another warmed over corpse of a game".

Am I wrong about this? I'd really like to be wrong, but the in-game video looks awful.

:O

@TheGorilla: WHAAAATT!! that trailer was fucking bossss!!!

Is Duke Nukem the announcer?

That's what Aliens needed. Dubstep.

That was an absolutely horrendous trailer...

That trailer was terrible. I was hoping this game might actually be good. Doesn't seem like that's very likely anymore. Making a good Alien movie/game is about more than just stringing together "remember when..." moments.

The placeholder voice guy got really into this.

I wasnt sure about this trailer until I heard the Dub Step music play.

Getting some seriously bad DNF vibes from that voice-over. What a horrible thing to make people recall!

bad trailer is bad

Tone schizophrenia: activate!

Bad choice for a voice... Yikes. The gameplay in some scenes reminds me of fps games of 1990's. Not good, not good...

Gearbox do not make good games.

HEY LOOK A LOADER YOU GUYS, REMEMBER THAT PART WITH THE LOADER IN THE MOVIE!?!?!?!

Ugh, what a shitty trailer.

Remember the original Alien was an incredibly slow intense film? Hell even Aliens showed the "Bad-asses" turned into cowards when they went face to face with the creatures. This feels like a fantasy inside Hudson's head.

No mention of pre-order bonuses? I might not wait for this to hit the bargain bin then.

Just beat Infestation, so I'm actually pretty stoked for this.

Just when I thought Heart of the Swarm had the word VO ever...

I'm confused about this game. Everything I see contradicts everything I've read. I want to like it but it doesn't want me to.

I just want a good fucking Aliens game, god damn it. >:|

That voiceover sounds like @Jeff doing his Duke Nukem impression pitched up a bit. That is all.

I'm in trouble. I kind of liked it. Yeah the narrator is way over the top, but a few things he says are actually coherent. Did not hear the dubstep, I'm not expecting dream-pop anyways (hey well maybe on second thought...). But yes, please something more imaginative than dubstep.

If they can condense it into survival/horror plus the firepower, that does not bother me. Especially if there is value beyond just shoootin Aliens. Like ppl. have said, in your team as individuals and a whole. I still want one mode SP mind you....

edit -make it clear, being a bad ass with a bigger gun turns quickly short of the footing you expected. Aliens have been adjusting, and more may be becoming truly sentient....

It's funny how one crummy trailer can take your interest level from marginal to negative in two minutes flat.

Looks generic as shit I hope its not.

This game looks depressingly unoriginal. Not what I want out of an Alien/s game.

This is the greatest trailer of all time!

Game over man, game over!!!!

i was expecting a "in stores 2014" at the end of this.... They're kidding right? that wasn't a finished product?

Shake it baby?

I don't know man I have a bad feeling about this game. Hope its good like I hope every game is good but I don't know...

Dubstep and dude bros. I'm out

Mikey Neumann: The dialog in the Aliens trailer today is not from the game. I also did not write it. Love you!

That sounds like confidence from someone related to the game. O___O

I'm pretty sure that, as a massive fan of the Alien franchise, this game is going to be just as bad as Alien 3.

I really want this to be good but I'm skeptical.

God, the narrator's voice acting is fucking terrible! I hope he's not actually in the game. The game itself looks cool and I hope it's at least better than this trailer was. Shit.

@Little_Socrates said:

So Mikey Neumann has come out and said that he didn't write this dialogue and that it isn't in the game.

Take that for what you will.

God I hope that's true.

I think Alex held back with his title, which is impressive considering. Not so many would be able to resist slamming that trailer for the limping, shower of shit abomination that it is.

I really wanted/want this game to be good, shame that the universe doesn't care and is being so obvious about that fact.

I was really excited about my pre-order of Colonial Marines.... Until this trailer. The voice was beyond terrible acting and the graphics reminded me of Duke Nukem Forever. I think I'm gonna cancel my pre-order.
