A new preview went up this morning on CVG, and thanks to the watchful eyes of Co-Optimer rafoca, we have some co-op tidbits for you!

Particularly interesting is this excerpt from the article's intro:

Like this month's exceptional Left 4 Dead, Colonial Marines is a four-player co-op game centred around survival: you're constantly under attack and the environments you move through are frequently hiding your enemy.

According to CVG, in-game locations will include planet LV-426, the vessel Sulaco, and prison facility 'Fury' 161 to round out the original trilogy. Supposedly, there will also be some type of supporting content to keep Alien: Resurrection a part of the game's mythology, but to what degree Gearbox Software isn't disclosing yet.

Anyone know what system(s) this game is coming to?

*Please let it be PS3...

I think it's both, so don't worry.

Cool...

Apparently the game is slated to come out in Q1 of '09! Hopefully it will be out in time for my birthday...
