That looks EPIC. I love Aliens and especially Aliens 2, which is my favorite one. And this one is based on the events around that movie, awesome.

"Several new Xenomorphs will be present in the game, including a new, much larger alien with a triangular headpiece"

Hmmm. I do not want new aliens Sad
I guessing one of these new aliens will be some kind of crab that spits acid. The acid spitting crab is basicly a standard in games, like exploding barrels.

Facehuggers are very crablike But yes, I agree; if they make acid-spitting facehuggers or chest bursters, I'm going to be pissed off.

Well, in all fairness co-op = adding 2 or more humans to the mix. A Squad command to me is screaming in the headset for Adam the idiot to cover a flank than hitting a key combo telling him to do so.

Heheh, I guess.

I think the large one will be some kind of big four legged monster, and the triangular headpiece will work as a shield. The beast will charge you as its primary attack. And the only way to kill it, is to sidestep when it charges and shoot it in the ass. That is my theory anyway Smile

Acid spitting crab, and four legged rhino-alien-monster.

Again, not unknown in the Aliens saga. You should read some of the expanded universe, especially the comics.

I can live with that, but health regeneration is definitely a bad decision for a survival game like this (I'm specifically referring to the co-op experience). Just imagine L4D with the health regen..booring Razz

Check the "order of release" for the reading order. Then you might want to move onto the comics, which luckily won't be as bad as, say, starting Superman/Spiderman from the very start Laughing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens_(comic_book)

Aliens: Outbreak was the original basis for Earth Hive, only later retold and reprinted into a comic in its own right. But, like the novels, check the "publications" to see reading order.


Jeri and Norbert FOR THE FUCKING WIN!! You *have* to read "Aliens Volume 4" as it contains some epic stories, such as "Music of the Spears" and "Stronghold" --- General Spears is a main antagonist in the aliens saga and he's also a certifiable fucking nutjob Laughing

It's Jeri. That's all I'm gonna say Oh one last thing; Fox has to ok EVERYTHING to do with the Aliens saga, so everything - both in games and paper media - is canon and official.

Sadly it is... for me personally it's not. There is Alien, Aliens, Alien3 and (bleh) Alien Resurrection for me and nothing else. And soon Prometheus ofc. Laughing

Fixed .. and yes, Alien embryos take on the partial form of their host, which radically alters the characteristics and visual appearance of the final Xenomorph. There's a LOT of content in the expanded universe =)

Alien 3 canon is not a canon. Alien [theatrical release] and Aliens is a canon. Everything else is fan made.

I liked the Predalien variation in the games (Unsure if it's been in any movies but it's probably in several literature works at least.) but what exactly is the Praetorian thing?
(I doubt very much it could digest a Marine APC and I don't think the whatever they're called cyborgs work either - those were awesome in AvP 1 by the way.)

The Praetorian is the Queen's Guard, a nasty beast of a guardian - real powerful. Literally their only function in life is to protect the queen and often slightly resemble Her Majesty as well, being considerably larger than standard drones and coming equipped with similar cranial ridges and crown-shape. As for the Predalien? Agreed! Those are sick Very Happy They used one in AvP2 (movie) but blegh... that whole film is just

Worst movie I saw was the one where they (imitate?) Predator but it's set in some local American small town, ends with the protagonist destroying the creature via nuclear airstrike and him surviving by of all things hiding in a tiny little water well. Razz
(I have yet to watch the entire Alien series though I've seen the earlier ones, bit odd how the first creature was nearly indestructible but I suppose Pulse-rifles have a way against armor/chitin.)

EDIT: Nice info on those Praetorians though, wonder if they'll be in the game though it's rather likely as there's bound to be a queen.
(Ye olde strategy - run backwards with smart-rifle - SADAR or what it was called if enough room, though I guess it's a bit overkill for this game - and hope you don't bump into any obstacle, survival mode in AvP 1 and it's expansion had a certain charm but it's a bit of a loss it did not feature co-op of the normal missions.)
