Aliens: Colonial Marines (PS2)

Hello,

it might have been the first aliens game of the ps2, its release was announced for february 2002 before being canceled.
It's a team-based FPS developed by the now defunct Check Six Studios in Los Angeles.














The only footage I saw was from a beta shown at the 2001 E3.

Has anybody here seen it run?
Does someone have a playable version of it?

I wanted to play this a lot more than the crappy avp:extinction...

 

Anyone have it in any form ??

 

by the look the pics seems from xbox

 

According to the FAQ, the engine is based on a cutomized version of the Maya SDK, could it explain the xbox look?

 

i meant that it's too good xbox-like not ps2 like

 

Thought the same thing. The graphics look to good for a PS2, specially in the texture department.

 

it have anti-aliasing... the ps2 doesn't

 

Amazingly i totally forgot to mention it :lol:

 

behold the power of the ps3

 

Try middleware.

That's running on a PC, not a console.

Yeah, looks like the same old pre-rendered shit they always show.

No way a Ps2 game looks that good.

 

actually some ps2 games look better but no anti aliasing....

 

A fake game then?

 

more like the same base for ps2/ xbox / pc and they showed pictures of the pc version

 

No, not a "PC" version in the traditional sense.

There are a few different middleware packages that are available for prototyping game ideas quickly and getting them up and running. They are designed to allow console developers to test ideas on a PC in an environment that simulates (not emulates) a console.

That's what you're seeing here.

That was such a early build that E3, it was barely playable.
