Seems like it'll flop as bad as the previous game. Finally made me accept that Aliens is gone, nobody can make an updated game similar to the old ones.

Thanks for the trailer link.

I assume that's multiplayer footage. The game is looking very nice, although personally I think the environments could be somewhat darker to heighten the tension.

There also seems to be a problem killing aliens that are in the middle of attacking other marines. It's like the shots don't register until after a fixed animation ends, and that's not good, especially for multiplayer.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to this game, especially playing co-op.

Looks terrible in my opinion. I really hope this is an old build. Where's the aliens environment we've known from the movies gone to? These huge open spaces in that video leave a lot ot be desired. And the pulse rifle sound, are you serious gearbox? That is probably the worst pulse rifle sound I've ever heard in a game. I hope my first impressions are dead wrong, I love the franchise, but this has left me disappointed.

Personally I'm more interested in the single player, seems like they're really trying to stay in canon to the Ailens franchise.

Provided that it is a squad-based shooter, I agree.

I was thinking of getting it on the WiiU, but then I saw that it had drop-in/drop-out Co-op campaign. So this would be somethign great to play with my GF, so PC is prolly where we are gonna get this game.

I think (and hope) the open spaces are because it's an MP map. The original Aliens v Predator games (1 and 2 - not the remake) had some large open areas for multiplayer as well - although they also had nice tight corridor sections.

Have to agree on the pulse rifle sound - in the video it's just really wimpy and lacks the meaty punch of the movie versions. All they have to do is use the movie sounds, for crying out loud.

I'm waiting to see reviews on this one beofre I jump the gun. Of course, like normal, the console version comes out earlier than the PC version; 6 months earlier, ridiculous. Still, plenty of time to think about it I suppose.

That looked mediocre to me, but I'd have to see more to see if I'll potentially buy it.
