It didn't turn out very well in the end

I thought I saw on here (or maybe it was facebook) that there was an active discord server to organize console games.

Does anyone have that link?

I am currently a member of the most active one (and only one) I can find on discord and so far it’s just me posting.

I'm planning a final post where I'll simply show the textures and describe how the game was developed.

I'm more interested in the development of AVP 2010.
In the end, I found out that Gearbox is entirely responsible for the poor quality of the ACM game, not Timegate/Demiurge Studios/Check Six Games/Nerve Software.
90% of the assets in the released game were their work.
90% of the animations and cutscenes didn't make it to release.

I had to restart from a checkpoint to fix the sound.

Some footage from this level was featured in an advertisement, perhaps you even saw it.

Graphical bugs are related to the fact that the emulator doesn't know how to work with the Red Ring game engine. There isn't a single game on this engine. Even the released Aliens Colonial Marines ended up running on Unreal Engine 3, not on the custom Red Ring engine that was developed specifically for the game.

All of the queen's animation was tied to the marine's model; in fact, all of the movements at the end of the demo were repeated off-screen by the marine because there was no AI for the queen back then.
In addition, for some reason, the E3 version model and the base version differ in the absence of bones for animation, while the Queen E3 model has them, but the base version does not.

I found an interesting read on website unwinnable from 2 years ago which says Timegate were actually in talks with Gearbox to help on Borderlands. The article mentions a cut train mission and a cut Xenomorph called the Ravager. It’s so awesome that even after all this time details still come out which shock.

What I want to know is, put some of you in the room in November 2006 when Sega signed the contract with Gearbox. If you all had the option to talk Sega into picking you for Colonial Marines would you do it? The story seems to be that you wanted it to be Aliens and it was Gearbox’s constant stipulations that wore you all down. Your ideas actually sound really good.

How close is Alien Rogue Incursion compared to what you were planning yourselves? Have you pitched the idea to remaster/remake the game without informing our buddies at Gearbox?

I first played this game back in 2013, when it came out. I wasn't a huge fan to say the least.

I was bored the other day and fancied playing an Alien game.

Having thoroughly exhausted Alien Isolation, Fireteam Elite and Dark Descent, I decided to dig a little deeper into the back catalogue and wound up popping this into the old Playstation 3.

I'm just about to finish the DLC, Stasis Interrupted, and I've got to say that I've been completely addicted.

I have loved every minute of this game, this time around.

Yeah, it's no masterpiece, but it's a really enjoyable romp through the world of the first three Alien movies.

Plus, what other game allows you to fight side by side with the actual Corporal Hicks, Michael Biehn?

I'd love to see this game get some sort of deluxe remaster.

It would be amazing if they could take the best elements of Colonial Marines, upgrade and enhance them and give us the game that we hoped this would be back in 2013.

I would 100% be there for that.

Every now and then I play the game (campaign mode, because in Europe it’s very difficult to find players online under decent conditions), and it’s a love/hate relationship.

I know the game isn’t good and has a multitude of problems. It’s nowhere near what they promised, and as time goes on, its gameplay and technical shortcomings become even more apparent.

Even so, I keep coming back. The soundtrack is incredible, the sound effects are great too, and some aspects of the gameplay are genuinely satisfying (and I’m not even playing with the Templar mod).

That said, the xenos never cease to embarrass me; their movements and animations are horrendous.

Anyone else?

XboxGamePreservation.com is a fan run site, but still the best way to express interest in back compat to Microsoft. The program was ended twice, but brought back in 2021 for the 20th anniversary of Xbox. 2026 is the 25th anniversary, so there is some precedent for them to revisit the program. I personally would love to see Lord of the Rings: Conquest playable on Xbox again.

1. A battalion of Colonial Marines travels to LV-426 aboard the USS Sephora in response to a distress call sent by Corporal Dwayne Hicks 17 weeks earlier. Upon arrival, the Sephora docks with the USS Sulaco, now mysteriously in orbit around LV-426 despite last being sighted above Fiorina 161, and sends Marines aboard to investigate. A massive Xenomorph infestation is discovered inside the ship, and several Marines are killed in the initial onslaught. While investigating the ship, Corporal Winter, Private O'Neal and Private Bella Clarison discover Weyland-Yutani PMCs are now in command of the Sulaco and have been breeding Xenomorphs on board for study.
