I'm not bothered about the graphics really, as I'm gonna pick it up on the Wii U. Should be quite cool having the motion detector on the gamepad.

Well it is supposed to be a "sequel" to Aliens which was an action movie at heart. It would be kinda weird to drop everything that made Aliens cool and make it a lone survivor horror experience.

The M56 Smartgun is an aimbot. The weapon itself is guided by two targerting systems.
Anyway, the game is looking pretty much a console port, but I hope they least do the PC version some loving, looking forward to the escape mode the most.

This looks disappointing, was actually looking forward to this. 
I'm guessing it uses Unreal Engine as it looks like every other game out today and the gun takes up a quarter of the screen which tells me it's got some crappy 55-60 FOV and is a console port.

Remember, it's not the graphics, but the gameplay is the main thing.
If the Escape mode is anything like L4D, this should be a hit, if anything the single player missions should be fun.
To me Escape mode looks like a half assed last minute idea thats been thrown into the game. My prediction for this mode will be running around on a small map going from point A to point B and back again while another 4 man alien team picks you apart. Personally I was hoping for some sort of Swarm or Overrun mod/Last Stand mode, this game will be dead after 4 months. Mark my words.
I was looking forward to this aswell.

There is an Swarm mode I believe, also they said the same about AvP being dead, it's still alive as you can find a active server.

On Wii U probably.
I would have gone PC, but if the graphics are not all that, I may as well go for the immersive motion tracker!

Glad you have played it and finished it and have the right to comment like that.
February 12th 2013, assuming there's not another slip of course, though its looking complete and I think further up somone had confirmation from a supplier.

I should be getting this but to be honest my hopes aren't that high and if this is a £40 game on Steam they can forget it. When do they usually put up the price for upcoming releases anyway?
