This was good, we just did a Skewedcast segment on the game. I wonder if gamers will take a wait and see approach to it.

porkChop4467d ago

Most probably will due to the crap that Gearbox pulled. Even if Gearbox isn't working on this, it's still being published by Sega and they allowed Colonial Marines to be released in the state it was in.

I also I also wonder if there will be enough here to appeal to a wide gamer base. Alien games have always had a select core audience which is why I think they went to action based games for many of the recent ones. I just wonder if a hide and evade game will be enough to draw in people and if that type of gameplay can be sustained without it becoming repetitive.

Just tell me it's better than Colonial Marines and I'll think about thinking about buying it.

Whatsupdog4467d ago

Its better than Colonial Marines :-)
But seriously, I am cautiously optimistic about this one, especially given that they are focusing on survival/crafting/exploration elements instead of sticking to the run and gun option.
I like how the Alien can supposedly randomly pop up anywhere and that his movements aren't exactly scripted; should make for some interesting scares.

Been waiting for this since 1986. Absolutely badass!!!!

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.

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

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.

Nittdarko272d 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.

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.

OtterX350d ago (Edited 350d 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!
