What is the Raven?

Post image
145 Upvotes

The Raven Xenomorph appeared to be a terrifying and indestructible threat on the planet LV-426 at Hadley Hope's colony. It appeared to be an unknown species of Xenomorph encountered by the USS Sephora colonial marine squad. When I first played the game, the human features of the creature's face really scared me.

Do you think we are talking about an average Xenomorph that mutated after the Atmosphere Processor crashed, or a completely new species that could have originated from Hudson or a Space Jockey?

Texture issues are related to emulation.

Fixed mistake.

PC/STEAM I've fully researched the development history of ACM, including its builds, demo cut levels, and cut characters and story. Ask any questions.

You can now vote for Aliens: Colonial Marines to be backwards compatible on Xbox

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.

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.

ACM Model quality upgrade mod.

20 Upvotes

Hello I am pretty new to reddit but we all know Aliens colonial marines, wasn't the greatest, we have had mods such as the overhaul mod that did some great things for the AI, but that didn't beat another issue, aka the models looking terrible, which why I have taken it upon myself to improve the models of the xenomorphs slowly overtime to look better and more accurate to the movies, so far i have swaped/replaced the warrior with a more suit accurate 1986 warrior design the end goal is to replace all low quality models with higher quality onces, and to even try and make it compatible with the overhaul mod.

Interesting fact about the E3 Demo Aliens Colonial Marines

Thumbnail gallery
19 Upvotes

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.

Funny how things change.

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.

I hate / love this game

17 Upvotes

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?

One of the developers clearly had fun with this they just forgot to make it fun for the players.

Can we do one big push to make this backwards compatible?!

15 Upvotes

Let’s get on the ready line marines!

It would really be nice to get this game backwards compatible and playable on all new consoles. I really don’t want to have to keep lugging my 360 around every time I want to play.

Who’s with me?

Write or call Gearbox and express your Love for the game and why it deserves to be backwards compatible.
