Aliens: Colonial Marines Announced, Detailed
by Nick Breckon, Feb 21, 2008 5:34pm PSTPublisher Sega today officially announced Aliens: Colonial Marines, the Gearbox Software-developed FPS title based on the popular movie series.
The squad-based shooter will support four-player cooperative play, and is set to hit stores within the year.
Featuring a story-driven single player campaign centering around a team of soldiers facing an alien assault, Aliens: Colonial Marines will attempt to recreate the look and feel of the original films while providing a tense FPS experience.
The game will also boast a four player co-op mode, with each player taking on a distinct role within the squad. Additional multiplayer modes will be announced at a later date.
Elements taken directly from the Aliens sequel will include pulse rifles, flamethrowers, and the Sulaco spaceship. A soundtrack described as "brooding" will also accompany the claustrophobic environments.
Weapons, skills, and equipment new to the Alien universe will also make an appearance, though none were specified.
Aliens: Colonial Marines will be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in late 2008.

As usual, I'll reserve judgment until we find out more about whether or not the PC version will undergo some good specific tweaking to maintain its PC feel. :)

Considering the current pc hardware available compared to consoles I don't want to see a neutered direct cross platform port. Better control setup options and graphics FTW!
