Sega has just confirmed some titles that will be playable at this year’s Comic -on. And they’re none other than Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Gearbox Software’s Aliens: Colonial Marines.
It’s exciting because the former comes from a strong pedigree (that many thought wouldn’t work), while the latter has had a long development cycle leading it. Of course, the fact that Gearbox Software, the mad minds behind Borderlands, are in charge means a lot for this shooter.
Sega will feature Danica Patrick’s custom No. 7 Sonic the Hedgehog/GoDaddy.com Chevrolet, fielded by JR Motorsports for promoting Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
But that’s not the best part. Concept designer and visual futurist Syd Mead will be signing limited prints concept art for the USS Sulaco, seen in the movie Aliens and featured in Colonial Marines.
Dark Horse, in collaboration with Sega, will be giving away an exclusive free Aliens: Colonial Marines comic during the Con. To top it off, an original 12 foot Alien Queen prop used from Aliens will be present, courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp.
