Just saw the footage a little while ago and it does looks promising. But, so did the Colonial Marines reveal "in-game" trailer, so I'm gonna go in with some guarded expectations.

Allsystemgamer4494d ago

Yea but creative assembly, to my knowledge, had never made a bad game. They're a very well respected developer

hulk_bash19874494d ago

And Gearbox created the Borderlands series so people thought that Aliens was in good hands. What's your point?

hulk_bash19874494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

I'm not saying it's gonna be bad, I am just saying that I am not getting my hopes up too high.

Different dev, different atmosphere, I'll give them a shot. It looks like you can't use the motion sensor at the same time as a weapon ala Doom 3 flashlight. Nice.

Oh please can w have a good Aliens game! I've been waiting so long to get one. Colonial Marines was my biggest let down last year.

Screw doing a movie tie in. All they need is Marines with pulse rifles, xenomorphs, and solid shooting mechanics for a winning title.

The amount of Alien universe lore that exist they have absolutely no excuse not to come up with an killer original story.

Allsystemgamer4494d ago (Edited 4494d ago )

Uh hello this one is NOT to be shoot this and that. You CANT kill te alien. The idea is to make you feel how they felt IN THE FIRST MOVIE.

Horror first as the alien was meant to be. What is more terrifying than being able to do nothing but run and hide?

Edit

I do get that there needs to be a good shooter with horror elements but I've been praying for a horror title for ever. The idea is to make the xenomorph what it was originally intended to be. A monster, an unstoppable killing machine. It is everywhere. It is your environment. You WILL die.

Paradigmthefallen4494d ago

This isn't a movie tie in? It's just basically a midquel between Alien and Aliens? And it is an original story focusing on a character we've never really heard or met before? Did you read the article, I thought I at least made it clear it was set between Alien and Aliens.

antz11044494d ago

It is set between. Theres a deleted scene from "Aliens" where Burke does some digging for Ripley and produces a file on her. The picture is an old woman, Burke says she led a long full life and died with her grand kids around her a few years prior (because its been 70 years). Ripley cries and says thank you and they move on.

This was probably omitted from the final cut because Burke was just supposed to be an unlikable d-bag.

For the love of Zeus please let this be Aliens step into the unforgiving limelight , am too old in the tooth ,waiting all my life for an Alien game i would be proud to place on my shelve for my future kids to be told " I was there the day it was released in all its epicness and glory i fought it on insane mode and won" *raises his beer* and says "Kids,get daddy another beer"
Wonder how many more Alien games there will be by the time my future kids are crazy gamers ...hmmm!!!!!

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.

FTLmaster260d ago

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

Abnor_Mal259d 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.

Nittdarko258d ago

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.

Neonridr336d 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.

OtterX336d ago (Edited 336d 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!
