Aliens : Colonial Marines - FPS ( They're back ! )

Big fan of Aliens, but I got to be honest, that was a pretty poor demonstration. I hate when he comments to the person playing (probably pre recorded aswell) to prevent an obvious scripted event.

It looks aliens, but you can tell the shooting, movement just doesn't feel like aliens at all imo, whats with the crappy massive slow tracers?, they butchered the iconic pulse rifle too, and the Field of view looked horrendous bah. No doubt I'll be suckered into playing it because of the franchise.
 
Doesn't seem to have the **** your pants scary charm I was hoping for. The suspense, sound effects, heart beat, little things falling over, lights moving, valves and scenery popping off the wall. Often all the little things make the game more frightening than the Aliens themselves. I'd like to be surprised rather than getting used to every corridor being littered with Aliens.

Aye, that's why the first Alien is such a brilliant movie. I do hope they recapture that atmosphere. But not keeping my hopes up.
 
I'm looking forward to this game, but just one question.

This takes place AFTER the events in Aliens yes?

On LV426 in and around Hadleys hope?

How is that possible?

I know that.

What I am saying is, if its set after the events of Aliens, then all thats left of Hadleys hope is a ten mile wide radioacative crater after the fusion reactor in the atmosphere prosessing station exploded.

yeah if you watch the above video it shows you where the reactor was and it shows you from the command center where they were looking for the people in the facility and it all looks not bad condition from the MASSIVE explosion. I think a little leap of faith is needed :p
 
I'm not holding my breath. I remember how good the last AVP game looked, and how utterly **** it turned out to be.

I personally don't expect this to be any different.
 
Aliens Infestation on DS that came out before Christmas was quite good (Think Aliens 3 on SNES/Megadrive). Has raised my hopes for this... must be better than the recent AVP.
 
Im not holding out much hope after that video. The atmosphere does look good the graphics look not bad but the actual gunplay looked ropey and the aliens just kind of dropped dead there was not any body deformation when using the shotgun :(
 
I liked look of it, Gunplay might be tweaked by time it comes out i know in AVP people moaned about it but i had no problems with it so if its similiar to that ill be okay ^.^
