[Watch] Check Out The Unreleased Launch Trailer For Cancelled ‘Aliens: Colonial Marines’ PS2 Game
Talk about a blast from the past. Before Gearbox and Sega’s 2013 shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, there was…Electronic Arts and Check Six’s Aliens: Colonial Marines for the PlayStation 2.
Obviously there’s some explaining. Check Six and EA were developing a game based on James Cameron’s Aliens back in the early 2000s. The game obviously never came out, and was totally separate from the Gearbox and Sega project that came about years later. Anyway, a YouTuber known as Mr. FO1 released what’s purported to be the Launch Trailer for the cancelled PS2 game, as well as having created a short documentary on the game itself.
Mr. FO1’s documentary on the cancelled project features input from a former dev as to why the project fell through. The short answer is that Check Six’s game was crippled with bugs, and development was lagging, causing Fox Interactive to pull the plug. Of course, as noted in the documentary, history repeats itself, as Gearbox’s game was also crippled with bugs, and had a turbulent development.

‘Dying Light 2’ Receives New Difficulty Mode and More With “Nightmare Mode” Update [Trailer]
Not to be outdone by Dead Island 2‘s recent expansion, Techland has announced that Dying Light 2 is getting an update of it’s own with the much-requested Nightmare Mode, which adds “the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet” to the game, along with an array of additional elements.
Nightmare Mode for Dying Light 2 forces players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive. The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions aim to heighten the atmosphere give the overall experience a needed refresh for veteran players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.
The Nightmare Mode Update adds more than just the new difficulty. New adjustments to the Infected and night experience are also part of the update. What’s more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And you even have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook.
Dying Light 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
