Will this be playable for me who has no friends? Or one of those coop only deals
I dont know why they keep making these awsome franchises into total bare bones, wanky Co-op fests that get forgotten about two weeks later, look at that last Predator game for example..The trailer showed nothing especial. Big fan of Aliens Colonial Marines Bug Hunt mode but that was back during the PS3 era, this trailer makes the game look generic. No campaign, no exploration, no vehicles, etc... just horde mode in a few maps? It's also coming for the PS4 so no next gen mechanics either. No different factions either?
At least the MP modes have to be better, full of objectives, dynamic gameplay with amazing graphics and detailed canon locations from the movies.
.
Btw, gotta love game announcements which release is just a few months away a not a fuckton of years.
The xenomorph in the first movie was never up against space marine weaponry so I can't really see it as getting nerfed when it was never established how resistant they were against such weaponry.
I get it, but that doesnt change the fact that by making people more capable against the xenomorph, it kinda became a joke of a monsterNot an FPS but looks good.
Xenomorphs are monsters, Jason is literally a demon so he's OP. I haven't seen the Alien franchise but from what I could gather on Reddit they weren't easily dispatched, the first Alien movie didn't have a lot of resistance and they were all ordinary people vs. marines in the second movie.
It's L4D but with the zombies replaces with Xenomorphs.
Out of nowhere
You seem to forget what happened to 99% of the people of the colony and how many marines survive.Prometheus and Covenant are far from perfect movies, but at least the xenomorph is a threat in those
It was a threat in Aliens too. They killed a squad of marines, dammit.I get it, but that doesnt change the fact that by making people more capable against the xenomorph, it kinda became a joke of a monster
And that's ridiculous, imo
In the first movie and Isolation, it's presented as an unkillable organism. Heck, it even bleeds acid ffs.

Oh, it seems I didn't tho. Where was this announced? First time hearing about it.We knew about the game being in production for a very long time.
Finally, someone! I thought I was crazy that I’m the only one who thinks this looks almost like a generic boring coop shooter with an Aliens skin. As an Alien fan, for me this is just the continuation of butchering this awesome franchise. Oh well, we still have Alien Isolation at least...I love Alien stuff, but honestly, this looks like a super generic wave based co-op shooter.
yupI just want Alien Isolation 2.
There are no Xeno's in Prometheus, and the Xeno is literally in the last 20mins of Covonant, and at a point where they have no ammo left.I

Wait is this co-op only??Finally, someone! I thought I was crazy that I’m the only one who thinks this looks almost like a generic boring coop shooter with an Aliens skin.

Yeah those are good points, Terminators falling much easier was also what bothered me in later movies, but it would be hard to keep the concept from the original while keeping the viewers surprised and interested.I think that is a "problem" with basically any franchise. Even Terminator, you have a single one of them in the first movie wrecking an entire police department, vs in the future where humans are fighting and destroying endless amounts of them.
Personally I don't mind it but I also don't know how else it could be handled. If a single Alien was supposed to be nearly unstoppable, and there are a nearly limitless number of them, it isn't too compelling of a story that humans have absolutely zero chance.
These pics remind me a lot of Gears!
It looks like its LFD2 / Vermintide.lol reminds me of colonial marines with better graphics. hope its a looter shooter, mah weakness.
A shame we don't have xenomorphs dancing gifs from fortnite... soon...
You can play single player with AI team mates. But yeah if you mean literally on your own, cant do it.any game that relies on teamwork is a no-go to me
I'm an old smug single-player bastard, I want to be the single hero, not share that glory with a bunch of other commandos
plus, you know fully well only Ripley survived from that cocky military team in Aliens...
Regardless, they should at least be stealthy, nimble as hell, and actual threats. These things are 8+ feet tall, fast as hell, smart, survive the harshest conditions, and all six ends of their body are clawed/teethed. Crawling headfirst into advanced space weaponry fire hardly screams "The Perfect Organism". It's like they have no sense of self preservation or tactics. Just cannon fodder. I hated the second Aliens movie for the same reason. No way in hell any human should be able to physically overpower a Xeno the way Vasquez did in the shaft. They also shouldn't die by the hundreds mindlessly running into turrets. I can't think of a single real world animal that would do the same (false equivalence to an actual alien, sure, but I like to think a Xeno is smarter than most real world predators). Also, it may or may not factor in, but both movies featured different types of Xenos (the drone in the first movie vs the warriors in the second movie).The xenomorph in the first movie was never up against space marine weaponry so I can't really see it as getting nerfed when it was never established how resistant they were against such weaponry.
It's far from a joke of a monster, it's still a huge threat. It's just that humans had to adapt and learn how to combat them. It's why the Colonial Marines exist.I get it, but that doesnt change the fact that by making people more capable against the xenomorph, it kinda became a joke of a monster

They killed a squad of marines because of a series of shit situations, honestly. A series of poor choices and very damned circumstances. But remember how cocky and egotistical they were before hand. That carries on in the Aliens universe several years later when Colonial Marines have more experience and strategies on how to combat xenos. They also learn and know more about the xenos themselves. In the Alien trilogy, all of that information was new/fairly new/unheard of.It was a threat in Aliens too. They killed a squad of marines, dammit.
Did IQs drop sharply while I was gone?
We've seen it all before, sadly.some of you guys sure do derive a lot from a quick trailer and a few paragraphs...
But the marines were able to fight backIt was a threat in Aliens too. They killed a squad of marines, dammit.

Sorry, maybe I'm misrememberingThere are no Xeno's in Prometheus, and the Xeno is literally in the last 20mins of Covonant, and at a point where they have no ammo left.
Vasquez had already shot that xeno 3 times, and she pinned its head with her foot, for a split second before shooting in multiple times in the face from point blank range. I'm pretty sure i could pin a gorillas head with my foot for a split second, doesnt mean the gorilla isnt many times more powerful than me.Regardless, they should at least be stealthy, nimble as hell, and actual threats.

Lorewise, the Xeno's carapace is pretty strong. The weapons in the second Aliens movie punched through because they were futuristic, military grade, and had armor piecing capabilities (makes sense elite space marines would have the best weaponry too). Vasquez's pistol also eventually punched through, but that was after multiple shots to the same spot at point blank range. I guess the timeline explains it, so that part is fine. Normal civilian weaponry wouldn't do much, so the future setting is enough of an explanation for the weapons damage output. I'm just annoyed at how they act.
I kinda agree that the xenomorph act more like a swarm with little regard to their own life too much in Aliens but they're still a big threat for civilians though. Never liked the "perfect organism" description from Ash either. Excellent hunter or something of the sort would've been more apt. Vasquez solo killing the alien with her gun didn't seem too out of the ordinary since she got a few shots in before the alien reached her and there was no room for the alien to do big lethal swings with its arms or tail while Vasquez had enough opportunity to keep firing on the alien.Regardless, they should at least be stealthy, nimble as hell, and actual threats.
