Aliens: Colonial Marines: 10 Reasons You Should Be Excited
With Prometheus failing to answer the feverish questions about the Space Jockey and plot holes regarding the Xenomorph's origin, the Alien franchise is in dire need of rescue. Thankfully Gearbox Software has the responsibility of not only creating an Aliens game, but an actual sequel to James Cameron's movie. Randy Pitchford has stated that Gearbox likes to work in other peoples spaces because they love those spaces, which reaffirms my belief that Aliens is in the right hands. Aliens: Colonial Marines feels like it's been ripped from the movie. They've even spoken with director Ridley Scott to get a better grasp on his vision of Alien. So rest assured that Gearbox Studios will develop it to be near identical to Cameron and Scott's vision while expanding upon its universe. So what exactly is his team creating which needs to be fun and innovative, yet still feels like the movie? With my list I've complied a list of reasons to answer those questions, as well as why you should be excited for Aliens: Colonial Marines.
