I'm sure it will be rubbish but I live in hope we get another good aliens game one day.

You won't ever get a good Aliens game.
The 1986 film basically served as the inspiration for so many other games, that there's nothing left for an actual Aliens™ game to bring to the table any more.
The best they can manage is reiterations of the original story, with a ton of fan service references and almost-accurate renderings of the famed USCM kit and weaponry... though it seems no-one can resist adding their own spins or touches to the stuff, resulting in the usual lukewarm receptions from the fans.

Alien Isolation was an excellent game but I long for a good aliens fps. AVP was great back in the day.

Hmmmm, 4 player co-op Alien shooter. Isn't this what that game that must not be named was?

Aliens: Colonial Marines

It's 3 player so...

3 pages long so far and I'm the only one to have thrown a quote in. Call yourself Aliens fans, shame on you ! Have to crack another one.

I guess we're not leaving soon.

That’s It, Man. Game Over, Man. Game Over!

New video showing 25mins of gameplay. Looks alright, nothing earth shatteringly innovative but could still be a fun blast in between stuff.

I was such a big Aliens fan I completed 'the game that can't be mentioned' online when it first released, though I'd unwisely pre ordered it.

I'm still trying to figure out how badly they ruined a simple formula of Left 4 Dead and Aliens, this attempt looks more like Gars of War style, but doesn't seem to have much of the horror atmosphere that both Alien and Aliens the movies have, will have to wait and see how it goes.

Aliens was definitely less horror and more action movie imo (was no worse for it) compared to the original. Very different tone but equally good in their own right.
