UNITED NEWS REPORT

BREAKING: WEYLAND-YUTANI ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP AND MORE
>SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, 2136
>Today the Weyland-Yutani Corporation (WLND) announced that it will be helping fund the Gateway Station project in cooperation with the ICC and ECA. The move is a bold one, as other commercial organizations have been weary of the government’s heavy involvement in the project. The unexpected partnership is likely to push other private companies to follow suit.
>In addition to the deal, Weyland-Yutani has also released some new details on the disappearance of the Nostromo. The commercial towing vessel was declared missing in action by Weyland-Yutani just over 13 years ago while en route to Earth from Thedus, carrying a refinery and around twenty million tons of mineral ore.
>The new details come in the form of a recently received transmission from a moon that is near the Nostromo’s last known location. Weyland-Yutani has refused to comment on what exactly the transmission included, but the company has given approval to a man named Curtis Hadley to begin the process of recruiting a search party that is to search the area on and around the moon.
>Weyland-Yutani has refused to give comment on the second detail, citing that they were still in the process of “verifying the source’s validity.” From what we have been told, the company is in the process of contacting the daughter of a crew member that was aboard the Nostromo. We are still unsure why the next of kin is being contacted, but we plan to keep a close eye on the story.

[Wynnebeck]

This seems like the type of game to buy a Wireless Gold Headset on PS4 for.

 

[ezekial45]

GREAT OT.

I'm so glad this game got made. It's the Alien game we deserve. I'm so ready.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Great OT! Although I'm shocked the thread title isn't "Game over, man! Game over!"

 

[RedWolf]

Can't wait for this. The original Alien is one of my favorite movies. Can't wait to see all that 70s future tech.

 

[shinobi602]

That gieger's gonna fry.

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

I really, really hope this ends up being as good as I imagine it will be. Alien is my all-time favorite movie and I want a game to do it justice.

 

[Game4life]

So looking forward to this! Anybody knows when the review embargo is?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Excited to play this - but I'll be waiting for a price drop before I do. Just too much to play this year. Here's to a great game.

 

[antitrop]

Horror month begins.

 

[Grisby]

Great OT! Good work bud.

Posting in a hype thread about hopefully a good game.

 

[JDHarbs]

I admire its purity.

Great OT btw.

 

[Sub_Level]

 

[CHC]

Great OT! Although I'm shocked the thread title isn't "Game over, man! Game over!"

I think all the "game overs" were used up by Colonial Marines... in more ways than one.

Lucky this game got made, looks visually aweomse, let's just hope it finally delivers the best alien game since Dead Space Alien vs Predator

 

[xxracerxx]

Eagerly awaiting to see GAF's reaction to this.

 

[ezekial45]

Horror month begins.

Fuckin' A. This is gonna be a great month.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

So looking forward to this! Anybody knows when the review embargo is?

I've heard Friday. Not 100% sure though. Hoping this game turns out good.

 

[Game4life]

I've heard Friday. Not 100% sure though. Hoping this game turns out good.

Cool. Thanks!

 

[Slowdive]

Can't wait to play this.

 

[BloodMoney]

Could the be the one........

 

[HORRORSHØW]

was going to get mordor, but i'll pick this one up instead pending reviews.

 

[Fotos]

Yesss been waiting for this for a long time.

 

[jett]

Pretty interested in seeing how it turns out. Hopefully it's a good one.

 

[KillerKlown]

I really want to pre-order this,i will make a last minute decision this weekend. I'm hoping i can make a decision.

 

[WilyRook]

Priority one
Insure purchase of game for analysis
All other considerations secondary
Reviews expendable

 

[Lrrr]

Great OT! Although I'm shocked the thread title isn't "Game over, man! Game over!"

This.

 

[Keyser Soze]

My big fear is that this will be short (4 hours short), I know the developers have touted 15 hours, but that has to be on the slowest play pace. If the average falls in 8-10 I will be happy.

 

[ishibear]

Awesome! I can't wait for impressions!

 

[-MD-]

I watched the original film yesterday to get ready, I'm pretty sure I watched it as a kid but it was basically like watching it for the first time.

October is gonna rock.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Hahaha, oh god, I forgot that game exists. That makes sense.

 

[JBourne]

I keep telling myself I'll wait for feedback or reviews before picking this up, but I know I'm still going to get it on the 7th. I can't resist the Alien IP.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Won't be touching this till my DK2 arrives. Should be worth it.

 

[- J - D -]

I still don't like the Alien design but I'm pretty excited about the game.

 

[therealminime]

Please be good. Oh God, please be good.

 

[Balmung421]

Awww yiss been waiting for the October edition of GAF magazine. Great OT, and I really hope this game doesn't suck. Please surprise me like Shadows of Mordor did!

 

[EBE]

not sold on this game at all. looking forward to reviews and story impressions

 

[vulva]

This.

Why associate the trash that is Aliens with a game based around Alien?

 

[Rhaknar]

one of 2 games this year that I "need" to be good. The other being Evil Within obviously.

 

[malfcn]

I am intrigued, but sitting on the fence. So many games..but I love horror.

 

[Sub_Level]

Why associate the trash that is Aliens with a game based around Alien?

You realize the main character of this game was first introduced in Aliens, right? It's a James Cameron character.

 

[BloodMoney]

Why associate the trash that is Aliens with a game based around Alien?

Come on now. They are two different genres. Each excels in its own right.

 

[xn0]

My body is ready.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Please be good D:

 

[shinobi602]

^I think this will pull a Shadow of Mordor on us.

 

[Superflat]

Fingers are so crossed that it'll be good.

I can't wait for Patrick's impressions/review on GB since he seemed just as excited as I am to play it, and his tastes line up with mine most of the time.

This looks like the Alien game many fans have been waiting for.

 

[Kimosabae]

Why associate the trash that is Aliens with a game based around Alien?

seriously?

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Androids are creepy as fuck.

 

[Cudder]

Can't wait! I hope they add a custom sound profile for the Gold headset.

 

[Dead]

Why associate the trash that is Aliens with a game based around Alien?

Nuke the thread from orbit

It's the only way to be sure

 

[AmyS]

This game.
