I must of missed something. I finished story mode and don't remember a thing about Hudson being in there. Hicks, yes, but nothing on Hudson.

Sometime after you first enter into Hadley's Hope.

I just went back and found the bit with Hudson in the game. If you have completed the game already you can go start "The Raven" mission, it's the one in the sewer.
You'll know you are in the right spot when you hear an audio clip saying something about it must be one of the marines from the Sulaco. I didn't stop to look at the area the first time through but once I knew what I was looking for I felt stupid since it was kinda right there looking at me. So to speak.

Ah, that's the part with the stupid blind derping aliens. Kinda sucks that they killed him off like that. Would of been interesting to have him make a comeback as well.

If that wasn't Hudson, it sure as hell looked like him. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd go into my game and compare the multiplayer Hudson to the one strung up on the wall. It's too bad all his distinguishable graphiti was on his chest.

Truth be told Hudson would of made for a better returning character than hicks as they could of easily explained that Hudson manage to kill the alien and was trapped inside the colony when the processor blew. Basically made like newt and hid in the vents and lived off rations.
Hicks story was terrible. It felt like something I would of written in high school.

Hudson surviving would had been more realistic. I do see your point.
I actually thought the captured marine was Hudson. I was surprised when it was hicks. I kept on hoping Hudson was alive somewhere but guess he was the dead guy on the wall. That was the biggest let down in the game for me. Maybe they couldn't get Bill Paxton to do a voice cameo or something.

What's also been FASCINATING about this release is the " other " side to this story.... These different people claiming to have worked on the game or were testers or whatever posting their stories...
I know on a few sites they brought up the " WHAT IF " side of things with all the goings ons..
IF, and I know it's a big stretch here.
But IF the game tanks and Sega gets pi$$ed and decided to look into all the rumors I wonder how Gerabox will fare ?
I don't know jack about game development but if those rumors are true that Gearbox took tons of money from Sega
" FOR " the Aliens game and used it instead on other projects and just dumped it onto others to work on all the while using that money for their OWN projects that could get ugly..
:confused
Oh, and the new rumor going around { have to find that posting } is that GAME DEMO they released some time ago was not an IN GAME DEMO.. But some custom thing they threw together to show progress on something that they were WAYYY the hell behind on...

Yeah, if it was Hudson, that would have been awesome. And even better would be if Hudson was a more serious and hardened character in the game than from the movie. His whole platoon is dead, he literally faced the brink of death by being helplessly cocooned by an alien and only survived because the blast of the Atmospheric Processor was able to free him before a face hugger got to him. I'm sure this change in behavior would have made voicing him easier for Bill since he wouldn't have to emulate his panicking rants.
And to everyone getting tired of this, I apologize in advance. But if they want Hicks to survive, DON'T COUNT ALIEN3!!!! I'd rather have only Hicks show up knowing Ripley and Newt are alive than not.
Oh I have no doubt the rumors are true, the videos they showed of Duke Nukem Forever looked way better and had stuff in them that never ended up in the game. The only games gearbox seems to seriously care about is Borderlands.
I'm betting they took the cash from sega, farmed the Aliens game out to those other folks whose games are lack luster to say the least, and pumped the cash into Borderlands 2. Seven or so years is a long time to be developing a game and i'd say sega were saints waiting that long.
If it had been EA they'd have had 2 years at best.

Only the multiplayer..... which considering that it was the only aspect of the game that Gear Box worked on, that answers a lot of my questions.
Still, they did bring in Syd Mead and he was awesome.

Finally got the game yesterday. Was hoping to rock into it with lowered expectations and have a lot of fun with it. Instead, wow. I'm genuinely surprised they released it at the price they did. Feels like an N64 game, except without the gameplay.
One thing that also threw me, wouldn't have been a problem in a better game, but the issue with the acid blood. I kept having to train myself that it's OK to fire at the Xeno's when they're close, instead of backing way off first like my instincts are telling me to. It just seems so fundamental to the concept of the Aliens, really odd that their blood doesn't effect you much.

I doubt Hudson surviving a 50-megaton explosion and the nuclear fallout afterwards would have been realistic (which is why I always believed that the explosion killed him prior to him being cocooned and before seeing this bit in the game), though I feel it would have been a better continuity point (as we were initially lead to believe Hicks died in the beginning of Alien 3 and that death is more believable than the "I was kidnapped and replaced with a body double" story they came up with for the game).
Except that the Hadley's Hope complex seen in Aliens: Colonial Marines survived very much intact, complete with power. If so much can survive undisturbed, who is to say Hudson couldn't have come out of it alright?
