Alien isolation was already in the works when this was released, hence he referred to it near the end. He just did a good job predicting what would make for a good game which the designers of the isolation were thankfully good at too.
I have seen developers (Not publishers, developers) talk about reviewers that they like watching, and Joe is one of the more common ones (Also stuff like Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation and TotalBiscuit, etc), so it's pretty plausible that they took his words as inspiration.

Neakal Alien Isolation came only about 4 months away from 2 full years before this review, that's a VERY significant amount of time for a game development. Whole games have been developed in less time, so I definitely think it's POSSIBLE that he influenced. However, I'm not saying that's what really happened, just saying that I think it's very plausible.
Marines came out in February 12, 2013, Isolation October 7, 2014. Bigger gap than I thought so, yes (I could swear it was only a few months). But a AAA game that was already in the making, I'm not sure. But then I don't know too well about game development so you could be right. If so, kudos to them for actually listening to criticisms.

M. Volgrand Ah, who am I kidding? I did the same, yes I did. I saw this review and said, "oh it can't be that bad". Oh I was wrong. I returned it the next day I got it. No joke.
Funny story, I went to Gamestop and purchased Colonial Marines at full price for my brother. He was very excited for it and was looking forward to playing it. When I got home and checked RUclips, I saw this video was uploaded! So, I click the video and as soon as Joe comes onscreen, I think, "Is Joe setting up for some kind of joke?" And then... "You fucked it up." At that moment, I asked myself, "What did we just waste 60 dollars on?"

Damn. The more I watch Joe, the more I think he's psychic. He wanted a full-fledged game made out of the Assassin's Creed 3 naval missions. We got Assassin's Creed 4. And NOW he says he wants a game like Amnesia mixed with aliens. We now have Alien: Isolation coming out soon. Holy shit dude.

@@NebLleb fully aware of the difference It was in agreement with the original comment. Dark descent though a RTS is more accurate of alien colonial marines shooter then it was.
Sacatuki, The game is pretty good. Marine campaign is scary at some points! It has 3 campaigns which are Alien,Marine and Predator. People say that Alien campaign is worst one. I haven't tried the multiplayer. I did have some fun playing that game. Shitted my pants, when i heard Predator sound when i was Marine. and of course, the motion tracker.
Mr. Awesome AvP 3 was pretty cool!! Have you played the original AvP games? Man those games were creepy, atmospheric, and awesome!! If you havent I suggest you try them!! :D
@@bowlining I purchased this (yes I'm a dick, but it was like five quid at Game) and thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. Then... I got to that particular part of the story; witnessed the hood being ripped off to reveal Hicks, and all I can remember was hearing the Windows 95 shutdown jingle reverberate through my mind before passing out riddled with cancer. I'm only alive to this day thanks to massive doses of retro gaming and MAME emulation...
To be fair, his (and Newt's) death in Alien 3 was a fucking cop-out and not emotional at all, just bizarre. I mean Ripley just happens to be the lucky sole survivor again? The pod is malfunctioning left and right, but hey Ripley you're ok, xenomorph incubation within you notwithstanding.
Why isn't there a law making it illegal for gaming developers to lie like this about their game to their customers? Fucking sickening. Maybe if there was more work and actual care would go into the games but nope.
ConorChaos Because every dollar spent means more tax income for the mafia (government.) Advice - Stop buying new games unless that one-in-a-million game releases with no shady practices. Plenty of older games out there that are far superior to all the new cash grabs of this decade.
Five years later, a spelling error was found to be responsible for the Xenomorph AI's failure in the game. It still doesn't explain the rest of the game's problems.
Overall bad writing, bad pacing choices, and a piss-poor ending. Oh yeah, the fact that Randy Pitchford praised it, and continues to defend it. Course, he wasn't known as much of an ass at the time; lol, it was THIS game that started that reputation. The fact that Jim Sterling continues to roast him at every opportunity doesn't help matters. I honestly don't blame the guy; he suffered a certain amount of professional disdain for the interview he did with Pitchford prior to the game's release.
That spelling error did mess up the AI, but apparently it was messed up beyond that. TemplarGFX fixed the typo, then went on to completely rework the AI, graphics, and sound to make a mediocre game actually decent. Can't fix the story but, damn, one guy fixing a game from a major studio is commendable.
And I payed full price for the collector edition and all, was there at its release day to pick it up at the store. Man.......5 years ago since one my most greatests disappointements in gaming history. It still hurts.
@@thatsreallyamoon I'm ok. Lockdown stopped me from getting a job I really wanted but they said they'd have a spot for me for when it ended. Waiting for it to end. For so long.
AvP 2010 was great. I love how you say it is a 6/10 but it had pretty much everything you wanted in an alien game in the human campaign. Aliens were smart, they stalked you, climbed on walls, attacked in unison etc. The atmosphere was scary, marines were consantly dying around you. It was a million times more authentic of an Aliens experience than this shit.
@@carlosandresgomezreyes9846 bruh the campaign lasted like 3 hrs for the marines and that was the best part .. rest of it was fine but it aint some masterpiece
I'm playing through Aliens VS Predators The Game (2010) right now and I'm amazed at how much better that game is compared to this. The aliens have actual AI, are better animated and the atmosphere of the game when youre playing as the marine is so much scarier. It even looks better in certain areas. It baffles me as to how badly they fucked this up >.
KingKongCompilation no idea why joe said it was a 6/10. The multiplayer is one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played and I never even played it with my friends, just randoms.
KingKongCompilation the campaign had 3 different storylines which was cool. I didn’t feel like multiplayer was unbalanced. The modes like the infection one were amazingly fun. Species tdm, mixed species tdm, etc.
KingKongCompilation The Predators were OP but I feel like people diss the marine faction. They can be a force to be reckoned with. Teamplay is essential. I smeared the floor with them in a big Species TDM.
The developers and studios that made Ride to Hell Retribution, Aliens Colonial Marines, and No Mans Sky should all band together and purposely make a game as shitty as possible almost like a parody. Include ridiculous microtransactions, bugs (make them funny though) boring as shit gameplay, just a combination of everything we hate that makes a game bad. I'd pay 10 bucks for that. Mainly just to (force) erm I mean see Angry Joe review it.Then again they would probably fuck it up and make a great game instead just to piss us off....
@Danny Morrissey Meh. Somehow THIS integration of Colonial Marines is Canon, as stated in Joe's review. And if you play to the certain when Winter finds a certain blindfolded guy, that's just cheap to be anyone but Hicks. In other words, this doesn't explain anything with his inclusion out of nowhere. Gearbox fck the whole game badly with weird storyline and clunky COD gamevibe that ain't fit. Throw in some chunks of Alien's references doesn't help either, as you have just pointed out.
If I remember correctly the Stasis Interrupted DLC shows that Hicks is pulled out of Cryo before being launched in the escape pod and is swapped with some generic random character you meet in the DLC and that’s who dies in Alien 3 not Hicks. But it’s all locked behind a PAID DLC
@@chaseyancey8824 It took me 2 seconds lol I never even bothered playing trough the campaign and I'm surprised it's Hicks and doesn't make sense at all lol.
Modder jamesdickinson963 was able to fix the game’s terrible AI behavior by simply correcting the typo “teather” to “tether” from the .ini file. This misspelling in the .ini file significantly hampers the capacity of enemy AI because it prevents important AI parameters from being loaded. My Document\My Games\Aliens Colonial Marines\PecanGame\Config\PecanEngine.ini correct by changing teather to tether, use ctrl+f to find it. Also same thing in DefaultEngine.ini in Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Aliens Colonial Marines\PecanGame\Config
+NeoVinyl is right, and BL2 was shit too. Why can't Gearbox make a good game? Everything they've made 7th gen was shovelware. Hell, their only actually good games are the HL expansions (or one of them anyways) and the Halo PC port (and their original maps were shit)
lets look at their 7th gen games (that i can even remember) -borderlands (a shit FPS/RPG) -duke nukem forever (a shit FPS) -aliens colonial marines (a shit FPS that was falsely advertised) -borderlands 2 (a shit FPS/RPG) and now they've made battleborn, which is a shit hero fps that's basically overwatch but worse
@Dick Kickem I get the reusage of levels (even if it make sense given that all the campaigns are in the same general area and they intersect at points), but short length campaign? It's 12 to 15 hours, which is more than enough for a FPS.
soo..rather then buying a Grade A game.. you intentionaly ? threw cash at one of the most customer loathing and false marketed ..'games' out there from that year ?....niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice guess your a strong supprter of coruption. well at least your brother knows your style since then i guess ,at least you gae him an exuse to wrap up some dog poo for your b day and have a giggle hehehehe
Hipsters are 90% the reason why things that people discover to be trendy turn to shit when they touch it. They are cancer to trends. Anime, pool, Archery, darts, dancing, and now video games.
+Eurasian Writer I almost bought that game, almost XD. The true definition of hipster quality of product and services. Sean, can you see your character? Sean Murray: No, the only way you can see yourself is through another players vision. Can you run into other players? Sean Murray: No you can't. *my eyes roll*
There should have been an asymmetrical mode like Evolve where one person plays as a xenomorph and everyone else hunts him down. When the xeno player starts out, he's somewhat weak, but the more marines he kills, the more health he gets and the faster and stronger he gets. That creates a dynamic where players have to stick close to survive and hunt the alien down before it gets too dangerous.
+TheGrayMysterious good idea, but then all players would camp near each other and there would be no point unless if they were spawned in different parts of the map and the map was decently sized.
Charlie Channel Maybe IGN outsourced to Seegson Corp., and have Working Joes doing their reviews. They're programmed to give anything that isn't Call of Duty a bad review. XD

I'm confused. How do you downgrade animations? How does good animation, get downgraded? how? Why? It makes no sense. There's literally no reason to do so.
Agreed. If what they showed was real back then, then somebody must've been playing it on either a PC or a console, so why the need to downgrade when everything is up and running? The answer most likely is because it was pre-rendered footage designed to fool you into thinking it was real. Not good
"HELLO MY BABY HELLO MY HONEY" I'm fucking dying XD that just was too perfect. 16:30 Joe perfectly describes a good chunk of Alien Isolation years before the game is revealed.
I'll never understand the hate AvP2010 gets. It looks gorgeous, has very fluid Xenomorph animation, very satisfying and enjoyable Alien vs Marine multiplayer (Predators are OP as hell) and just generally feels like a better experience than most give it credit for.
Funny how watching Alien Romulus in the theater brings me back to an old video I enjoyed 11 years ago from a content creator I had all but forgotten. I’m glad to be back, instant (re)sub.
I'm pretty sure that when he is being derogatory then he censors it That way he's not just like "Fuck you and you" and offending people as much But when he just uses it regularly in a sentence, he doesn't feel the need to censor it
+Jared Lucus Not that it really matters, but I think you're right. In one video (can't remember which one) he starts a rant about a female character and it goes something like: "that stupid fucking.. [exploitives deleted]". And I don't blame Joe, just because you're ranting about a female character it doesn't mean that's how you feel about all females. Alas, that's what people instantly bitch about these days.
"Imagine like Amnesia mixed with Aliens. Holy shit that would be a game everyone would be talking about." And just like that Creative Assembly takes the burden to hopefully redeem the license and restore the Fans' faith.
CANNOT wait for Joe to review that and be EVEN MORE disappointed. It's shaping up to be a disaster already, more interviews with devs than gameplay in the trailers, lots of emphasis on Pre-Alpha in any gameplay that is shown, and worst of all Creative Assembly.
I just kept waiting for O'neil to die, he just had that face. You know the face of the character that gets dragged into a vent or pounced on and torn apart but nope he stuck through it the entire time. He just looks like one of those guys that you know is only in the game to die and add suspense but he surprised me after surviving three levels.
Oh don't get me wrong, I hated all of the characters but I hated O'Neil especially. He just looks like a side characters but is one of the main characters. And to be honest this entire game was started because that one marine went all bitch-fit and pulled out a grenade when that chestburster came out like he was some kind of evil cult leader and didn't want to die alone. The entire storyline has more holes in it than the red light district in Amsterdam, this game was clearly just a huge cash cow.
oh yea, like every other game thats 5 bucks in a used game store. clearly not worth it. dont even bother going to a gamestop dude. youre too good to go in there.
True true, that one is pretty good, but like an Aliens where you are the marines, but a well made game. I remember having an awesome time with the first AVP. Also being the Alien was awesome.
I wish the next Alien Isolation 2 u find a pulse gun and the flamethrower like in the movie when Ripley armed up and combing the pulse gun plus the flamethrower u know what im saying
Lol at O'Neil, I think every gamer knows the frustration of AI and to just empty the clip into them, you know it wont do shit, but its the only recourse you got.
From what I have seen of Alien Isolation, it looks pretty cool and kinda freaky, but I noticed the alien never climbs the walls or ceilings or walks on all four limbs at all. Sure it goes and sits in vents and tries to grab you sometimes, but I never see them on all fours like Aliens usually do, its always standing straight up on its hind legs, when usually they only do that when they are getting ready to attack. Wish it climbed the walls and stuff, wouldn't it be even more freaky if you heard a sound and turned around to look, but it had climbed over you on the ceiling and dropped behind you while you turned around and got you? (Also the sound for the motion tracker is wrong, doesn't sound nearly as cool as the old sound)
tyranidterrorist no I mean actually walk on all fours, and use the walls and ceilings more than the ground. I know it can run up into vents and such, but it never actually stays up there while moving.
Mr. Person It moves more like a Slasher monster. Stalking the grounds watching, Hunting, and Waiting for you to Fuck up. Also if it was on all fours and constantly on the ceilings and walls you'd lose track of it and it would kill you. Even with the Sensor cause the sensor can give you away in the game with it's Pinging noise.
Danny Caracciolo I honestly don't have the game, but from the playthroughs I have seen, the only time I have seen it on all fours was in vents and when it is trying to get away from you. The rest of the time it is standing on its hind legs straight up.
Mr. Person thats because in the original Alien Movie 90% it walked on two legs. however in alienS they made them more animal like, by having em walk on four legs. so the fact that the alien in this game walks on 2 legs is accurate, since theyre basing it on the original alien movie
i was watching a gamer, and one guy commented something like "Want a awesome alien game? you should play Aliens colonial marines! I luv that game. KILL ALL EXEHNOS!!!" I did nothing but rant on him. Seriously. just him spelling xenos wrong already pissed me off. Then i ended up ranting about the whole story that he probably knew nothing about.
I'd recommend youtubing for "Aliens Colonial Marines DLC" because the DLC mission seems to have gotten more time and planning than the entire game got. As to sate your hunger for Aliens, I recommend the NDS game Alien Infestation which is one of the best Alien-games ever and a really great game overall.
Rainversey I have seen Infestation and the reviews say that it is great, too bad that I don't use my DS any more. The DLC, particularly the Nostromo does look quite good.
this game is much better than when it first released. this game was patched a lot AFTER all the negative reviews. improved AI, very few glitches if any, and solid FPS gameplay makes this a good Aliens game.
Yeah I like what their doing with it. If you have played outlast then you know what to expect. You should get your fix with Alien Isolation but I myself just wait for joes review along with some others before I drop 60 bucks again...
One of the lines in code told the program to attach the alien to "teather" instead of "tether." With that fix the game as whole was, of course, still below expectations. However after modders removed that single letter, the alien AI got significantly better.
@@Xazamas there are more typos in the code, fixing a good chunk of the game and making it better by a good margin. there is two more "teather" in the code, and one capital A in "PecanGame", fucking even more the code. after that, suddenly the game becomes way better.
I'm surprised Joe didn't comment on the opening. Specifically how the very first Xenomorph the player encounters is in a quicktime event as it grapples the player; a few button presses and it is booted off and shot to death. You know, just one of those supremely deadly killing machines, approximately 7ft tall and possessed of razor-sharp claws and unsurpassed speed and strength, booted to the ground as though it were a drunken man attempting to give the player a hug. I think that this perfectly demonstrates the tone of the rest of the game, and how pathetic the Xeno enemies will be; mindless puppies skipping joyfully towards the player, their acidic blood doing barely any damage (compare that to the fantastic AVP games, not including the 2010 one, although even it does a better job than this), their supposedly fearsome close combat ability beaten by a quick rifle butt or two. Also, it was my experience that the AI companions (at least the guy at the start, whose name I have entirely forgotten. Was that O'Neil?) are absolutely devastating. It cripples any survival horror elements the game may have had (which it does not) to be able to simply stand behind an AI companion as he deals with all the aliens on his own. Also, "Winter, MOOOOVE!" is recycled over, and over, and over. Oh, and let's not forget how they try to be all suspenseful by having the female Marine describe what anyone with any knowledge of Aliens would immediately recognise as as a Facehugger attack. The player obviously knows that she is going to die from a chestburster in the near future - and yet the plot is written as though the writers thought this would be a great surprise. Yeah, it was a surprise - in 1979.
Honestly, I don't know what state this game was in at release, but I bought it a few years after it was released and I actually had a lot of fun playing the game.
got out of basic and ait and one of the first things i did was finally go to gamestop and buy gears of war judgement day and aliens colonial marines. Two games i had been longing to play the entire time i was gone...imagine the disappointment i had that week
Alien: Colonial Marines did exactly what David Cameron did to Ridley Scotts original film. Droves of mindless aliens throwing themselves at the marines completely took away from the horror and mystery of the single alien hunter in the first movie. This game was completely true to the movie Aliens, whether it was a good game or not. Hopefully Alien: Isolation will be good.
The fact is, Aliens actually moved the franchise forward, while this game took a big squirty dump in everyone's favorite franchise and pushed it back in our face asking for cash. The Xenos were no less intelligent or unrelenting, it was just a case of having back up this time; some did throw themselves mindlessly at the Marines, but the survivors learned from these mistakes and used them to form smart tactics against the humans and whiddle them down to a handful of survivors. They were not the spastic missiles presented to us here in Colonial Marines. Bottom line is, let's just all agree to hate this game and maybe Resurrection without dragging a perfectly respectable movie into the firing line with them.
OMFG WOW, LOOKS LIKE THE DOUCHEBAG JEB TWEEBANCE HERE THINKS HE'S A KNOW IT ALL ON THE FRANCHISE. James Cameron, not DAVID CAMERON! And besides, both James Cameron and Ridley Scott were close friends in the profession. By far "Aliens" was the best follow up to what others screwed up at. Lets examine this here. ALERT: SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE YET TO SEE ALIEN III OR ALIEN RESURRECTION! OH WAIT, THEIR RERUN FILMS NOW! BRILLIANT! 1: Ripley crashes on a penal colony. She has a queen alien in her body. Apparently so does a dog, which because of xenomorph genetics when the thing burst out of the dog, it takes on it's four legged characteristics. Toward the end of the movie to save the colony and keep the Company from getting it to use as a bio weapon. She sacrifices herself. Now comes number II 2: Alien Resurrection: They clone Ripley, have a smuggling ship come in and of course bring fresh host unknowingly. Ripley has the queen surgically removed and thus also is part alien. The whole mess in that movie was a complete redone to keep the franchise alive and of course AT the same time too keep the Ripley character in action. BRILLIANT! And may I conclude also Jeb that Aliens was iconic and influential in both pop culture and archtype as well that games such as HALO took influence from Aliens for many of it's settings and styles in the background of the game and feel of weapons as well. SO STFU ALREADY! BRILLIANT! Oh BTW FYI Jebs. YOU look up to ME, LIKE A PIZZA ON THE ROOF!

Let's see how Aliens Fireteam compares to this catastrophe. See you in summer 2021 everyone. 😆
Bruh, i just saw your comment on the new alien game trailer , then now here. What are he odds lmao. Love your content.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤣🤣
Is it just me or does the alien AI in the new trailer look a bit “stiffish”
@@pablofierro7262 Everyeone is getting reccomended this video again. =D
I so badly want Fireteam to be good
Amnesia meeting Aliens?
Joe can read the future
more like the devs saw this review and other similar opinions
Yep
That thankfully gave us Alien Isolation!
If Joe starts the video with ''you fucked it up'' YOU KNOOOW IT IS GOING TO BE BAD.
TheMasta Pasta smart
TheMasta Pasta lol rip sega made it 😭
+Onehanded kid nope, they published it.
gearbox made it.
ok well still sega is a part its still bad k m8
I thought it'll be "You done fucked it up"
Thank god for Alien: Isolation!
Fr it's badass
but gosh dng it tho i like to see marines and shootin more than hidin it would ve been awesome to make this game awwesome
Refering to No Man's Lie?
McDastardly outlast had a part in that as well IMO
why are you thanking yourself?
2013:Alien Colonial Marines, Ride To Hell: Retribution
2014:Watch Dogs, Destiny
2015:Star Wars Battlefront, Need For Speed
2016:No Man's Sky, The Division
Mason Hodnett Star Wars? Surely it's need for speed the biggest disappointment of 2015
nah Star Wars was more of a disappointment, the racing genre was dying anyways but EA took a masterpiece and took a shit on it
Mason Hodnett
watch dogs wasn't bad though.
In what world?
Watch dogs was rubbish.
“Please don’t cancel Aliens Colonial Marines.”
Yeah that aged well lol
Damn. The more I watch Joe, the more I think he's psychic.
He wanted a full-fledged game made out of the Assassin's Creed 3 naval missions. We got Assassin's Creed 4.
And NOW he says he wants a game like Amnesia mixed with aliens. We now have Alien: Isolation coming out soon.
Holy shit dude.
He also predicted saints row 4
Holy shit lol
he's a big influence to the devs, i love him.
Well Ubisoft Love him...

all hail the great joe and the child-folllower ubisoft
Battleborn is karma for Gearbox fucking up Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever
The way the price drop for the game is just ridiculous! It's on humble bundle right now as part of 2k bundle for $15.
Battleborn got alot cheaper because of Overwatch.
Ma boy politicz gon bring hip hop back
Let's be fair for Duke it came out after so much development hell but that only applies to duke
it's a shame their best work is borderlands series
If it was called Call of Duty : Aliens, IGN would give 9.9/10
Bartek Stachelek but certainly not the WORST thing ever there a worse MUCH worse games than COD
Bartek Stachelek In my opinion it's beyond that.
DarkenedArc Not besides titles like The Fighter Within. I mean, Cawadoody isn't broken or anything, there's just nothing there. It's nothing but shooting, and shooting, and more shooting.
Well they got a hold of the Predator. I can see that in the future.
If it was Call of Duty developers that made an aliens game I guarantee you it would be a lot better than this piece of s***
"Hello my baby! hello my honey!! hello my rag time gaaall!!!"

Graphics were as good as Doom 3 on original Xbox...
Which came out 9 years earlier

You know your game is bad when a game that came out a decade earlier looks better.
Buffalo the lighting was just as good but the textures were total crap on doom 3
Doom 3 is a wicked game.

And it took a company experienced with RTS development to give us the Alien game we've so badly wanted.
Yep. Alien Isolation sure does make my fun beans hum with delight.
@@meatball5336with aliens dark decent was the alien colonial marines this should have been
@@loudman12 Don't you mean "Fireteam Elite"? Dark Descent is a tactics game. Fireteam Elite is the competent shooter, and it was a _budget title!_
@@NebLleb fully aware of the difference It was in agreement with the original comment. Dark descent though a RTS is more accurate of alien colonial marines shooter then it was.
Colonial marines with the ai of isolation would have been epic.
And graphics improved.
Graphics look shit compared to AvP 3 which is from 2010
Sacatuki, True.
Sacatuki, I played AvP 2010 at Max settings!
Damn, it looks good!
Sacatuki, The game is pretty good. Marine campaign is scary at some points! It has 3 campaigns which are Alien,Marine and Predator. People say that Alien campaign is worst one. I haven't tried the multiplayer. I did have some fun playing that game. Shitted my pants, when i heard Predator sound when i was Marine. and of course, the motion tracker.
Mr. Awesome AvP 3 was pretty cool!! Have you played the original AvP games? Man those games were creepy, atmospheric, and awesome!! If you havent I suggest you try them!! :D

That moment when the Demo is better than the actual game.
Destroyer Of Skulls The demo is always better
thomasbrke Remember Blast Chamber? That demo was great...the actual game was too. I want a Blast Chamber remake for PSN.
So basically Too Human
kinda wish they would remake AVP extinction for ps4 and xbox one, first AVP game i ever played aside Concrete Jungle which i loved
The surviving marine was Hicks (Michael Biehn's character)
stop for a second, did they ruin emotional moment from Alien3? Didnt Hicks fucking die?
@@bowlining im glad he didnt die lol
@@bowlining
I purchased this (yes I'm a dick, but it was like five quid at Game) and thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt.
Then... I got to that particular part of the story; witnessed the hood being ripped off to reveal Hicks, and all I can remember was hearing the Windows 95 shutdown jingle reverberate through my mind before passing out riddled with cancer.
I'm only alive to this day thanks to massive doses of retro gaming and MAME emulation...
*Are they fucking kidding? What did the corporation do? Wake him up on the SULACO and drag him back to the planet?
To be fair, his (and Newt's) death in Alien 3 was a fucking cop-out and not emotional at all, just bizarre. I mean Ripley just happens to be the lucky sole survivor again? The pod is malfunctioning left and right, but hey Ripley you're ok, xenomorph incubation within you notwithstanding.
Why isn't there a law making it illegal for gaming developers to lie like this about their game to their customers? Fucking sickening. Maybe if there was more work and actual care would go into the games but nope.
ConorChaos because lying isnt illegal unless contracted not to
ConorChaos because otherwise there would be no franchising.
borgKick false advertising is illegal.
yet almost every AAA gaming company gets away with it.
ConorChaos Because every dollar spent means more tax income for the mafia (government.) Advice - Stop buying new games unless that one-in-a-million game releases with no shady practices. Plenty of older games out there that are far superior to all the new cash grabs of this decade.
Years later, "Cancelization" still sounds hilarious.
the marine in the beginning actually wanted to prevent you from having to play the story
He's the true hero for sure. A tragic hero, nonetheless. :C
@@vilhelmpuddintain9295 he should flip off to winter and warned that this game is DOGSHIT
Alien isolation is good but we NEED a good aliens action game
Agreed
Alien was never an action movie franchise, it always focused on horror/thriller
Alien isolation was a piece of shit. I don't want to fight fucking wave after wave of retarded androids. BOOORING!
+Stephen Lyon what if we let you play the sequence in which Ripley turns full badass and fights through the alien nest to save newt?

Five years later, a spelling error was found to be responsible for the Xenomorph AI's failure in the game. It still doesn't explain the rest of the game's problems.
@@k417njbka7 no, that's actually correct
Overall bad writing, bad pacing choices, and a piss-poor ending.
Oh yeah, the fact that Randy Pitchford praised it, and continues to defend it. Course, he wasn't known as much of an ass at the time; lol, it was THIS game that started that reputation.
The fact that Jim Sterling continues to roast him at every opportunity doesn't help matters. I honestly don't blame the guy; he suffered a certain amount of professional disdain for the interview he did with Pitchford prior to the game's release.
That spelling error did mess up the AI, but apparently it was messed up beyond that. TemplarGFX fixed the typo, then went on to completely rework the AI, graphics, and sound to make a mediocre game actually decent. Can't fix the story but, damn, one guy fixing a game from a major studio is commendable.
Hard to believe that this game already released 5 years ago. Damn.
And I payed full price for the collector edition and all, was there at its release day to pick it up at the store. Man.......5 years ago since one my most greatests disappointements in gaming history. It still hurts.

AvP 2010 was great. I love how you say it is a 6/10 but it had pretty much everything you wanted in an alien game in the human campaign. Aliens were smart, they stalked you, climbed on walls, attacked in unison etc. The atmosphere was scary, marines were consantly dying around you. It was a million times more authentic of an Aliens experience than this shit.
Yeahh
@@carlosandresgomezreyes9846 bruh the campaign lasted like 3 hrs for the marines and that was the best part .. rest of it was fine but it aint some masterpiece
Facts bro I loved that game to bits. The multiplayer was hella fun too. I’m so hung up on wanting a good colonial marines survival horror type game.
It is a 6/10. It's a decent game, but the Predator and Alien campaigns are far too short.
@@okagron So what? Its multiplayer is great. I spent so many months playing with friends.
Alien Isolation? Well i guess they listened to Joe
***** Backup plan then?
fission reactor Pretty much
dawood rashid Well that's a switch!
I'm playing through Aliens VS Predators The Game (2010) right now and I'm amazed at how much better that game is compared to this. The aliens have actual AI, are better animated and the atmosphere of the game when youre playing as the marine is so much scarier. It even looks better in certain areas.
It baffles me as to how badly they fucked this up >.
Axl Jenkins yeah playing all three campaigns are fucking fun
KingKongCompilation no idea why joe said it was a 6/10. The multiplayer is one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played and I never even played it with my friends, just randoms.
KingKongCompilation the campaign had 3 different storylines which was cool. I didn’t feel like multiplayer was unbalanced. The modes like the infection one were amazingly fun. Species tdm, mixed species tdm, etc.
KingKongCompilation The Predators were OP but I feel like people diss the marine faction. They can be a force to be reckoned with. Teamplay is essential. I smeared the floor with them in a big Species TDM.
KingKongCompilation Yep, it’s more fun to work together than going at it alone though.
The developers and studios that made Ride to Hell Retribution, Aliens Colonial Marines, and No Mans Sky should all band together and purposely make a game as shitty as possible almost like a parody. Include ridiculous microtransactions, bugs (make them funny though) boring as shit gameplay, just a combination of everything we hate that makes a game bad. I'd pay 10 bucks for that. Mainly just to (force) erm I mean see Angry Joe review it.Then again they would probably fuck it up and make a great game instead just to piss us off....
remsensor TM Yea and have a giant graphical downgrade
They'd probably sell it for $60
It's called "Goat simulator"
That game is purposely shitty
Dairokuten Maou no $120 for bonus content
It's been years now, so let me just spoil this: the survived Marine whom Joe refers to is Hicks.
I sure was searching for this and couldn't seem to find the answer thank you I appreciate it.
@Danny Morrissey Meh. Somehow THIS integration of Colonial Marines is Canon, as stated in Joe's review. And if you play to the certain when Winter finds a certain blindfolded guy, that's just cheap to be anyone but Hicks. In other words, this doesn't explain anything with his inclusion out of nowhere.
Gearbox fck the whole game badly with weird storyline and clunky COD gamevibe that ain't fit. Throw in some chunks of Alien's references doesn't help either, as you have just pointed out.
If I remember correctly the Stasis Interrupted DLC shows that Hicks is pulled out of Cryo before being launched in the escape pod and is swapped with some generic random character you meet in the DLC and that’s who dies in Alien 3 not Hicks. But it’s all locked behind a PAID DLC
@@scopev4274 even I haven't played that DLC yet XO Great work, Randy.
@@chaseyancey8824 It took me 2 seconds lol I never even bothered playing trough the campaign and I'm surprised it's Hicks and doesn't make sense at all lol.
I find it funny how the main reason the alien ai was so shit was because of a typo in the games files and it was never patched xD
The Marine Campaign in 2010's Aliens Vs. Predator was twice as good as this At only half the length!
Why was it never patched?
Modder jamesdickinson963 was able to fix the game’s terrible AI behavior by simply correcting the typo “teather” to “tether” from the .ini file. This misspelling in the .ini file significantly hampers the capacity of enemy AI because it prevents important AI parameters from being loaded. My Document\My Games\Aliens Colonial Marines\PecanGame\Config\PecanEngine.ini correct by changing teather to tether, use ctrl+f to find it. Also same thing in DefaultEngine.ini in Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Aliens Colonial Marines\PecanGame\Config
@@TheWayoftheSith but why didnt they patch it?
After this game failed, 20th Century Fox immediately dropped this crap from the story canon.

At the time they siphoned the money to fund Borderlands 2.
+NeoVinyl is right, and BL2 was shit too. Why can't Gearbox make a good game? Everything they've made 7th gen was shovelware. Hell, their only actually good games are the HL expansions (or one of them anyways) and the Halo PC port (and their original maps were shit)
lets look at their 7th gen games (that i can even remember)
-borderlands (a shit FPS/RPG)
-duke nukem forever (a shit FPS)
-aliens colonial marines (a shit FPS that was falsely advertised)
-borderlands 2 (a shit FPS/RPG)
and now they've made battleborn, which is a shit hero fps that's basically overwatch but worse

It's Joe's classic. This, and his Fable 2 video.
29:10 joe...you made a game you wanted :3
I thought AvP 2010 was a great game. It had more variety, better AI, better MP, better campaign, and less buggy in general.
@Dick Kickem I get the reusage of levels (even if it make sense given that all the campaigns are in the same general area and they intersect at points), but short length campaign? It's 12 to 15 hours, which is more than enough for a FPS.
and so alien isolation was born
No man's sky is the real sequel of this game
Nah dude, No Man's Sky is the sequel to Ride to Hell: Retribution.
Simon Riley No Man's Sky is the bastard child of Ride to Hell Retribution and ACM
And to think the Aliens would be much more difficult to fight had they not misspelled "tether".
Check out TemplarGFX ACM Overhaul v6. He completely reworked the AI, graphics, guns, sounds, textures... everything.

" you fucked it up " Fiver years later and it still holds up!
There should have been an asymmetrical mode like Evolve where one person plays as a xenomorph and everyone else hunts him down. When the xeno player starts out, he's somewhat weak, but the more marines he kills, the more health he gets and the faster and stronger he gets. That creates a dynamic where players have to stick close to survive and hunt the alien down before it gets too dangerous.
that's a good idea
wow that's a good idea
I cannot argue with that at all.
+TheGrayMysterious
good idea, but then all players would camp near each other and there would be no point unless if they were spawned in different parts of the map and the map was decently sized.

don't the aliens have acidic blood? how did you not take damage from that when you did that one shotgun execution bit?
Why is it when you get bit from a zombie and nothing happens to you, but everyone around you dies from a scratch from a zombie, and there is no carriers?
@@willgold3324 Well for example in Resident evil series its canon that the T- virus only had 90% lethality. The other 10% of the human population was naturally immune.
I believe canonically speaking the characters you play as never get bit or hurt in the RE series. Idr where I heard that from though.
Legends says joes armor is still loading
I'm confused.
How do you downgrade animations?
How does good animation, get downgraded? how? Why? It makes no sense. There's literally no reason to do so.
MickDick l Money my dude
Tell that to Mass Effect Andromeda
My guess is that the animations were never actually there. They were just created for a small demo and never used.
Agreed. If what they showed was real back then, then somebody must've been playing it on either a PC or a console, so why the need to downgrade when everything is up and running? The answer most likely is because it was pre-rendered footage designed to fool you into thinking it was real. Not good
"HELLO MY BABY HELLO MY HONEY"
I'm fucking dying XD that just was too perfect.
16:30 Joe perfectly describes a good chunk of Alien Isolation years before the game is revealed.
I'll never understand the hate AvP2010 gets. It looks gorgeous, has very fluid Xenomorph animation, very satisfying and enjoyable Alien vs Marine multiplayer (Predators are OP as hell) and just generally feels like a better experience than most give it credit for.

That way he's not just like "Fuck you and you" and offending people as much
But when he just uses it regularly in a sentence, he doesn't feel the need to censor it
** When he is being derogatory towards a person
+Jared Lucus that's not even close
+Jared Lucus Not that it really matters, but I think you're right. In one video (can't remember which one) he starts a rant about a female character and it goes something like: "that stupid fucking.. [exploitives deleted]". And I don't blame Joe, just because you're ranting about a female character it doesn't mean that's how you feel about all females. Alas, that's what people instantly bitch about these days.
"Imagine like Amnesia mixed with Aliens. Holy shit that would be a game everyone would be talking about."
And just like that Creative Assembly takes the burden to hopefully redeem the license and restore the Fans' faith.
What happened to the E3 demo ? That was a true aliens game, but we get this instead and i can't stand the graphics or story of this game
Same thing as what happened to duke nukem forever.
CANNOT wait for Joe to review that and be EVEN MORE disappointed. It's shaping up to be a disaster already, more interviews with devs than gameplay in the trailers, lots of emphasis on Pre-Alpha in any gameplay that is shown, and worst of all Creative Assembly.
jdtrim22 Stop being such a critic, just wait for the damn thing!

I just kept waiting for O'neil to die, he just had that face. You know the face of the character that gets dragged into a vent or pounced on and torn apart but nope he stuck through it the entire time. He just looks like one of those guys that you know is only in the game to die and add suspense but he surprised me after surviving three levels.
I hated everyone except the Hicks and the pilot chick. Don't get me wrong though, this game is just ugh.
Oh don't get me wrong, I hated all of the characters but I hated O'Neil especially. He just looks like a side characters but is one of the main characters. And to be honest this entire game was started because that one marine went all bitch-fit and pulled out a grenade when that chestburster came out like he was some kind of evil cult leader and didn't want to die alone. The entire storyline has more holes in it than the red light district in Amsterdam, this game was clearly just a huge cash cow.
O'Neal looked more like a Harley Rider with a Smart Gun than a Colonial Marine.
this game must be horrible then since it is only $4.99 at Gamestop.
oh yea, like every other game thats 5 bucks in a used game store. clearly not worth it. dont even bother going to a gamestop dude. youre too good to go in there.

Wow. I honestly feel sorry for you and your dad. 😔
They really need to make a new Aliens or AVP that's actually good... it's sad because Aliens and Predator are my FAVORITE in sci-fi.
Try Alien Isolation
True true, that one is pretty good, but like an Aliens where you are the marines, but a well made game. I remember having an awesome time with the first AVP. Also being the Alien was awesome.
Adam Francuzik I preferred the second game.
Adam Francuzik no the need a new Predator stand alone game
I wish the next Alien Isolation 2 u find a pulse gun and the flamethrower like in the movie when Ripley armed up and combing the pulse gun plus the flamethrower u know what im saying
I literally just play this game over and over again just to play the "Raven" Mission because it's the only somewhat scary and fun mission in the game.
Try the TemplarGFX ACM Overhaul v6, it breathes some life into it.
Lol at O'Neil, I think every gamer knows the frustration of AI and to just empty the clip into them, you know it wont do shit, but its the only recourse you got.
From what I have seen of Alien Isolation, it looks pretty cool and kinda freaky, but I noticed the alien never climbs the walls or ceilings or walks on all four limbs at all. Sure it goes and sits in vents and tries to grab you sometimes, but I never see them on all fours like Aliens usually do, its always standing straight up on its hind legs, when usually they only do that when they are getting ready to attack.
Wish it climbed the walls and stuff, wouldn't it be even more freaky if you heard a sound and turned around to look, but it had climbed over you on the ceiling and dropped behind you while you turned around and got you? (Also the sound for the motion tracker is wrong, doesn't sound nearly as cool as the old sound)
Btw it can climb
tyranidterrorist no I mean actually walk on all fours, and use the walls and ceilings more than the ground. I know it can run up into vents and such, but it never actually stays up there while moving.
Mr. Person It moves more like a Slasher monster. Stalking the grounds watching, Hunting, and Waiting for you to Fuck up. Also if it was on all fours and constantly on the ceilings and walls you'd lose track of it and it would kill you. Even with the Sensor cause the sensor can give you away in the game with it's Pinging noise.
Danny Caracciolo I honestly don't have the game, but from the playthroughs I have seen, the only time I have seen it on all fours was in vents and when it is trying to get away from you. The rest of the time it is standing on its hind legs straight up.
Mr. Person thats because in the original Alien Movie 90% it walked on two legs. however in alienS they made them more animal like, by having em walk on four legs. so the fact that the alien in this game walks on 2 legs is accurate, since theyre basing it on the original alien movie
Your in luck Joe your idea about amnesia with aliens has come to life.
Coming here once every few months for a good laugh at Randy's expenses lol
Yup, it's Randy time again, lmao
I wonder how a remake of this game would turn out...
i was watching a gamer, and one guy commented something like
"Want a awesome alien game? you should play Aliens colonial marines! I luv that game. KILL ALL EXEHNOS!!!"
I did nothing but rant on him. Seriously. just him spelling xenos wrong already pissed me off. Then i ended up ranting about the whole story that he probably knew nothing about.
You don't really have a life, do you?
***** Why so rude?
I never watched the Alien franchise and know nothing about it, and yet when i saw my friend play it and saw him fighting human enemies I face palmed.
Only watch the first 2 if you decide to watch
*Spoiler Alert (If you wanna play this piece of shit)*
Hicks is the person and he died for sure in the movies.
i got so mad when i found out, also i hate everything about weyland-yutani AKA Gearbox
THX man :))
HICKS? HOW THE HELL DOES HE SURVIVE! -_-
mrpvpdeath Actually the story is consistent with the movies... it just sucks.
LShy3142 But he saw his body covered with blood and the glass was broken, showing there was a facehugger on his face.
The bit at 25:46 joe made is more exhilarating than the entire campaign. Outside of the part where I didn't have a weapon.
"come on O'neal you got the smart gun shoot something with it lol" XD
Really good review, Joe. It's sad to see that in 2016, with No Man's Sky, we are still getting lied to about games.
And here we are in 2018, getting screwed over even harder with fallout 76 XD
Whenever I even have the slightest feeling to get A:CM I just re-watch this review to stop my self , then I play AVP, And wait for Alien Isolation...
I'd recommend youtubing for "Aliens Colonial Marines DLC" because the DLC mission seems to have gotten more time and planning than the entire game got. As to sate your hunger for Aliens, I recommend the NDS game Alien Infestation which is one of the best Alien-games ever and a really great game overall.
Rainversey I have seen Infestation and the reviews say that it is great, too bad that I don't use my DS any more. The DLC, particularly the Nostromo does look quite good.
this game is much better than when it first released. this game was patched a lot AFTER all the negative reviews. improved AI, very few glitches if any, and solid FPS gameplay makes this a good Aliens game.
Yeah I like what their doing with it. If you have played outlast then you know what to expect. You should get your fix with Alien Isolation but I myself just wait for joes review along with some others before I drop 60 bucks again...
donkeyIips That's not the way to make a game though. I can't forgive them for being total cuntbag lying pricks of shit game devs.
There was a typo in the game code, so one mistake ruined one part of the game
That is unbelievable the Ai of the game still run if it was Unity with Visual studio they would brick the game by not running the script entirely.
One of the lines in code told the program to attach the alien to "teather" instead of "tether." With that fix the game as whole was, of course, still below expectations. However after modders removed that single letter, the alien AI got significantly better.
@@Xazamas there are more typos in the code, fixing a good chunk of the game and making it better by a good margin.
there is two more "teather" in the code, and one capital A in "PecanGame", fucking even more the code. after that, suddenly the game becomes way better.
I'm surprised Joe didn't comment on the opening. Specifically how the very first Xenomorph the player encounters is in a quicktime event as it grapples the player; a few button presses and it is booted off and shot to death. You know, just one of those supremely deadly killing machines, approximately 7ft tall and possessed of razor-sharp claws and unsurpassed speed and strength, booted to the ground as though it were a drunken man attempting to give the player a hug. I think that this perfectly demonstrates the tone of the rest of the game, and how pathetic the Xeno enemies will be; mindless puppies skipping joyfully towards the player, their acidic blood doing barely any damage (compare that to the fantastic AVP games, not including the 2010 one, although even it does a better job than this), their supposedly fearsome close combat ability beaten by a quick rifle butt or two.
Also, it was my experience that the AI companions (at least the guy at the start, whose name I have entirely forgotten. Was that O'Neil?) are absolutely devastating. It cripples any survival horror elements the game may have had (which it does not) to be able to simply stand behind an AI companion as he deals with all the aliens on his own. Also, "Winter, MOOOOVE!" is recycled over, and over, and over. Oh, and let's not forget how they try to be all suspenseful by having the female Marine describe what anyone with any knowledge of Aliens would immediately recognise as as a Facehugger attack. The player obviously knows that she is going to die from a chestburster in the near future - and yet the plot is written as though the writers thought this would be a great surprise. Yeah, it was a surprise - in 1979.
So, who survived from the movies?
Hudson I think, its bullshit.
No it's hicks.
Sounds like Lt. Gorman
It's Hicks.
***** Yes it is. There is no point in saying that it isn't, because the story goes no where anyways.
Who's here in 2018 after the news of the typo in the AI?
Merc Enum me
Thankfully the AI issues can be fixed on the PC. Apparently the AI problems are caused by a typo in the games code.
i still look back on this game, and my heart splits in two.
Honestly, I don't know what state this game was in at release, but I bought it a few years after it was released and I actually had a lot of fun playing the game.
got out of basic and ait and one of the first things i did was finally go to gamestop and buy gears of war judgement day and aliens colonial marines. Two games i had been longing to play the entire time i was gone...imagine the disappointment i had that week
Ouch, Judgment as well? That's a double shit storm, sorry you had go to through that.
firefighter17687. Ouch both are garbage.
the smart gun is smarter than O'Neil... in fact smarter than any AI on the game
Back here after Aliens: Fire Team trailer
Me too.
Alien: Colonial Marines did exactly what David Cameron did to Ridley Scotts original film. Droves of mindless aliens throwing themselves at the marines completely took away from the horror and mystery of the single alien hunter in the first movie.
This game was completely true to the movie Aliens, whether it was a good game or not. Hopefully Alien: Isolation will be good.
No because the sequel to Alien was just as badass
David Cameron? LOL

Yes the Prime Minister of England had a short stint as a director.
The fact is, Aliens actually moved the franchise forward, while this game took a big squirty dump in everyone's favorite franchise and pushed it back in our face asking for cash. The Xenos were no less intelligent or unrelenting, it was just a case of having back up this time; some did throw themselves mindlessly at the Marines, but the survivors learned from these mistakes and used them to form smart tactics against the humans and whiddle them down to a handful of survivors. They were not the spastic missiles presented to us here in Colonial Marines. Bottom line is, let's just all agree to hate this game and maybe Resurrection without dragging a perfectly respectable movie into the firing line with them.
OMFG WOW, LOOKS LIKE THE DOUCHEBAG JEB TWEEBANCE HERE THINKS HE'S A KNOW IT ALL ON THE FRANCHISE. James Cameron, not DAVID CAMERON! And besides, both James Cameron and Ridley Scott were close friends in the profession. By far "Aliens" was the best follow up to what others screwed up at.
Lets examine this here.
ALERT: SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE YET TO SEE ALIEN III OR ALIEN RESURRECTION! OH WAIT, THEIR RERUN FILMS NOW! BRILLIANT!
1: Ripley crashes on a penal colony. She has a queen alien in her body. Apparently so does a dog, which because of xenomorph genetics when the thing burst out of the dog, it takes on it's four legged characteristics. Toward the end of the movie to save the colony and keep the Company from getting it to use as a bio weapon. She sacrifices herself.
Now comes number II
2: Alien Resurrection: They clone Ripley, have a smuggling ship come in and of course bring fresh host unknowingly. Ripley has the queen surgically removed and thus also is part alien. The whole mess in that movie was a complete redone to keep the franchise alive and of course AT the same time too keep the Ripley character in action. BRILLIANT!
And may I conclude also Jeb that Aliens was iconic and influential in both pop culture and archtype as well that games such as HALO took influence from Aliens for many of it's settings and styles in the background of the game and feel of weapons as well. SO STFU ALREADY! BRILLIANT!
Oh BTW FYI Jebs. YOU look up to ME, LIKE A PIZZA ON THE ROOF!
