Color me green with envy, I live in Nebraska USA out in the middle of no man's land so I get very little options to choose from unfortunately so yeah your soo lucky!!!
I would love to pick this game up if I'd played any of the previous personas since I haven't I'm leaning more towards not getting it just because yeah I have no idea if Id even like the game...
great article, I have to bow to you Mr.Tom Mc Shea for taking my thoughts from my mind and placing them so generously on the web for all to see. From Software certainly is one of my favorite development studios right now right next to CD Projekt Red and Starkock Entertainment.
I gotta admit that the only dlcs that I remember purchasing that was worth any salt that I paid for them was the only dlc for Mass Effect1 (when bioware wasn't completely corrupted by EA) and the add on back for Wizardry Labyrinth of Lost Souls from Acquire. Hopefully a few other studios well arise in the years to come that present good business practices that From Software has shown and CD Projekt Red has..
From this trailer I get the deja ve feeling from Dead Space 2 multiplayer which isn't a bad thing really. Of course the dead space 2 multiplayer suffered greatly in my opinion of spawn killing inwhich could be the same problem Colonial Marines may suffer if GearBox doesn't approach its "survival mode" in a different way then Visceral did.
I guess in the end I would like to see big maps, a variety of different weapons the marines can preload before a match begins, character customization such as uniforms and race that sort of thing and finally unique short cuts through each map the opposite alien side can use to ambush the marines. I know sounds like a tall order but hey COD has proven the better quality multiplayer the more people you draw to the game right?
from the video it looked like it was from a first person point of view mainly.. Check out 1:00 it showed a segment that was a player controled point fpv.. But I also think Gearbox will be bringing back parts from Alien Vs Predator where the player will see a third person point of view vantage during parts of climbing the walls and going through air ducts.
@burrito_tester Single player wise the games were pretty well made but the multiplayer to Binary Domain was pretty poor quality and Vanquish didn't even have a Multiplayer attached to it...
But since Gearbox is making the game there is some hope to be had for the multiplayer I personally didn't like the borderlands games but hey they still were very well made..
An outcome suitable for a developer with laughable talent who couldn't even develop a game thats been made over and over again. I'm actually surprised activision didn't have a template set up with the instruction manuel included stating lines such as, "copy and paste code line 1b place at location vector 12b and blah so on and so forth."
