yeah I think they will say it's still in development, but maybe they can shed some more light on the game and some new news about gameplay and such!

My only concern is that Colonial Marines has been stuck in "development hell" for more than a couple of years now. Even though I am sure a lot of work has gone into it, there is no guarantees for release until a date is given. Even then it's not a sure thing but I am getting more and more anxious as time goes by since it was supposed to be released in 2010 and the year is almost over with not even a teaser trailer out.

I really hope they shed some light on ACM hopefully they explain a little on the story since we havn't heard of that in a least two years.

Well that's actually better than the already classic "we can not talk about ACM yet", so I guess I feel better now.

The design of the alien warrior seems to be different than what we saw in those old pics; Its' alarmingly similar to the avp3 lolol"alien", and It's also looking as small as this last one, among other things due to the obsessive attitude coming from developers of showing the alien on the god damnned crouch position.

What I'm currently liking is the marines shooting from the hip in that old fashion and completely unprofessional way of the eighties heheh, just like in "aliens" too.

Need better resolution pics anyway; maybe the very guy at Kotaku who took those pics release some HD pics.

Let's hope GBX have not been overly inspired by a lacklustre AvP design when it comes to the Aliens in this game.

I hope not either, but it's still good to know that they still are working on this game and that it still looks damn good! I think I can get over the aliens look if they gameplay looks as good as it does in these few picks! I hope they release some more soon!

Amen to that.

It's the size of the alien warrior what It has me really worried rather than the little design changes developers always add on their aliens..., I meant that those GB aliens seem to be almost as small as the avp3 one, which isn't obviously good news for the scary factor, something critical when we are dealing with creatures that are basically perverted forms of us but much much taller.

Aliens should be really tall like in the film, and I still wonder If GB will remain faithful to that too, since no developer has made them like the originals yet.

Good point. The only thing I can think of is that it may require a lot of technology, time, and memory (you know all the things that go into a game) and they may have to scale them back. The other thing is that these are just screen shots and maybe the aliens will look better in the actual game.
