The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Tiered rows of padded bench seating facing a projector screen on one wall, enough room to fit about 20-30 people depending on how tight you cram them in ;)

You have no idea how hard it's been to keep this quiet until now.

Wish you were here!
For the record: when SEGA asked us to do this with them, we referred them to the many fine California Marines, but they went with us because they've worked with us before. It is our hope to make you all proud and represent The Legacy well. :wink:

I wish I was there as well. *sigh* :)
So, have you checked out the game yet? Any freebie giveaways? :)

The booth is basically a mini theatre setup, where the Gearbox crew shows a demo of actual gameplay (i.e. one of the presenters is playing the game while someone else narrates.) There isn't a public-playable demo that we're aware of, but we've all gotten a chance to see the presentation and the game looks fantastic.

Gearbox has really put a lot of effort into making something that is new and interesting, while still staying true to the movie canon. As the lead presenter put it, Alien 3 was more like a sequel of the first movie than of the second; to them, they see their game as a direct sequel to Aliens, and they've tried to stay as close to that feel as possible.

Current word on release is Spring 2012. I can't wait.

Outstanding!!! 2012 still seems like such a long way off... It won't be easy, but it sounds like this is going to be well worth waiting for, as expected. Thanks for the on site sitrep, Sean. 8)

Found a couple good YouTube links from E3 of interviews with the game's producers, and a few of them have a clip here and there of the three of us ;) Enjoy!
