I just wish that for once some developer would be able to capture what was Aliens and put it into video game format. While I like the idea of survival horror set in the Alien franchise, this just comes off to me as Amnesia in space.

While not necessarily a bad thing in its own right, I'm certain anyone who has seen Aliens wants to partake in a squad of Xeno killing, smart mouthed, name taking marines. Maybe I'm asking for to much in this day and age of keeping it safe, but it doesn't seem like it would be remotely difficult to do at all. Oh well, here's to hoping the game is good at least.

"I'm certain anyone who has seen Aliens wants to partake in a squad of Xeno killing, smart mouthed, name taking marines."

Not me. A survival horror is exactly what the Alien franchise needs.

CocoWolfie4416d ago

exactly.. this could be really good!

This is an Alien game, not an Aliens game. I've been waiting for a game like this for years, after CM was such a failure I was even considering starting up work on a mod (I'm a 3D artist and animator) that is pretty much the same idea as this game.

I never knew i could be so hype for an aliens game

CorndogBurglar4416d ago

I don't really see how a survival horror game with one Alien can really carry an entire game.

How many times can you survive an encounter with the Alien before it just starts to get a little stupid.

So what, you just keep running into the Alien throughout the game, and have to hide until it goes away? I just don't see how that can be interesting for an entire game.

I hope I'm wrong, and I'm sure there are other things going on that we don't know about yet, but first glance makes me wonder how I can stay interested in this.

Even the best survival horror games in existence give you plenty of enemies to avoid or fight.

Venoxn4g4416d ago

have you tried haunting ground game on PS2? always running from one enemy at time, but wow, that game is survival horror masterpiece.. I think alien could make something same if there are almost or at all weapons, like in haunting ground..

CorndogBurglar4416d ago

Nope, can't say i've played that.

Who says it's only the Alien you have to worry about? I can think of at least two other hazards - life support failures that have to be repaired quickly, and an android/"synthetic" not programmed with your best interests at heart.

The Best Alien Games (To Play After Watching Alien: Earth)

An opinion piece on the best Alien games. From arcade Alien vs Predator action to a terrifying Xenomorph stalker, these are the best Alien video games starring Ridley Scott’s chestbursting, acid-blooded nightmare.

FTLmaster180d ago

Got a soft spot for AvP (2010) but solid list nonetheless.

Abnor_Mal180d ago

My favorite Aliens game also, having the three campaigns to play was great. Scaling walls as an alien waiting to ambush anyone that came too close.

Only played a little of the horde mode but was still fun.

Aliens Fireteam Elite was my GotY in 2021, single player was kinda bad but playing that game 3 player with friends was so good and really challenging on higher difficulties

Massive shout out to Aliens Vs predator 2 (2001), a dialup lag filled fun mess in multiplayer and 3 great campaigns

I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.

Neonridr257d ago

Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.

OtterX257d ago (Edited 257d ago )

Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.

It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
