No

This is left 4 dead with aliens instead of zombies

Ah I see you saved me from actually reading the OP.

 

[Kajiba]

They only talk about the 'main hunt mode'.

- 4 classes. Medic, Assault, Support, Trapper.
- Each class has multiple characters to choose from.
- Multiple monsters to choose from as well, each with their own unique abilities, but they only talk about Goliath.
- 3rd person when playing as the monster.
- Goliath's abilities: Breathing Fire, Leap Attack, Charge Attack, Rock Throw. Also some stealth abilities if you want to stalk the hunters. You start out with two abilities of your choosing, and as you evolve you unlock more.
- Levels feature 'wildlife simulation', including carnivorous plants. Goliath evolves by hunting the wildlife. Hunters get special temporary bonuses for killing 'elite wildlife', faster health regen, extra damage, etc.

Sounds so good. I'm on that hype train.

 

[bishoptl]

It's very, very similar to a mod called The Chosen for hl2. The Chosen was 8 vs 1; the monster player had tons of cool skills and powers, the soldiers had scanners, different roles, etc

Are you sure it was Half Life 2? I can't seem to find it.

Now that sounds far more promising. Will keep an eye on.

Now this is whats up.

 

[Sarobi]

So this and Alien Isolation is basically the same idea? (except this has multiplayer)

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Hype train was at full steam yesterday, but has come to a complete halt now. I can't get excited for another co-op shooter.

 

[speculawyer]

Sounds kinda like L4D Versus mode except that there is just one monster big tank with several special attacks.

 

[dimb]

Are you sure it was Half Life 2? I can't seem to find it.

It's called "The Hidden". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjNRRn2-zS0
Or at least maybe that's what he's thinking of.

 

[NoirVisage]

Let's go ahead and call this;

Starship Troopers: The Game

I'm in!

Are you even paying attention to what they're saying, EDF was already that, down to the dialogue.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Seems like something

Spoiler

pre-Resistance 2 or pre-Fuse

Insomniac would make.

I love the idea of this.

 

[Sickboy007]

- Levels feature 'wildlife simulation', including carnivorous plants. Goliath evolves by hunting the wildlife. Hunters get special temporary bonuses for killing 'elite wildlife', faster health regen, extra damage, etc.

MOBA influences in an fps, interesting.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Just give me a predator alien, 1 life for humans, modern weapons for humans, advance super technology for predator type creature

then im good to go

 

[RealMeat]

So if the monster levels up off the wildlife, sounds like the humans will be on the offensive and things will move towards the monster's favor as the match goes on. Sounds a bit different from versus L4D. I suppose the levels will be open as well.

 

[derFeef]

Here is hoping it's not some kind of spawn-fest for the monster player - that would be boring. I wonder if you would have to level up somehow to gain stronger as a monster - kinda like in Dota.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

I have never heard of this game before today but it sounds cool.

 

[VanWinkle]

Info definitely sounds pretty intriguing.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Sounds good, but still skeptical without seeing actual gameplay to see if it actually works. If it works, it's definitely worth something.

 

[Nasreddin]

Getting a Citizen Kabuto vibe from this, which is a good thing.

 

[Neiteio]

Where is the screenshot mentioned in the thread title update?

 

[GillianSeed79]

Just give me a predator alien, 1 life for humans, modern weapons for humans, advance super technology for predator type creature

They kind of had a MP mode like this in the recent Alien Vs. Predator game. One person would be randomly selected as the predator at the start of a match complete with all the predator abilities while the rest of the players played as marines. I think the way it worked was if you killed the predator you became the predator and vice versa. There was also an alien infection style mode that was really fun.

This sounds like it's a lot more well thought out. Balance will probably a big deal though.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

like I said, this sounds like a smaller scale version of Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

Jetpacks now for everyone

 

[derFeef]

Is the old guy with hat on the cover carrying a big-ass harpoon?

 

[Bor]

So this and Alien Isolation is basically the same idea? (except this has multiplayer)

no

 

[NoirVisage]

I think a lot of people are missing the fact that this isn't really L4D with aliens, its a hunting simulator with a single ALIEN where that single alien is played by a human player..

Not my type of game by any means, if it was going to be multiplayer, hordes of aliens a la zombies in Left4 dead would have been more awesome. At least you could play single player and offline. Like EDF

didn't someone a few pages ago mention that there is sp, but that the focus of the article was the hunt mode?

 

[-MD-]

Class based? You have my attention.

Loved this game, so good, with nice classes and RTS elements.

I would love a hybrid of Giant Citizen Kabuto and Sacrifice

 

[Lotto]

I'm in. Looks like a promising MP game and I'm always up for new IPs.

 

[Azure Dream]

Seeing the title, I hoped, just for a moment, we were getting something quirky and creative, along the lines of a modern multiplayer E.V.O. or Spore:

 

[bbyybb]

Are you sure it was Half Life 2? I can't seem to find it.

I think he meant "The Hidden".

Edit: Oops beaten to it.

 

[SappYoda]

All I keep thinking about with that name.

The game also features 4

Spoiler

Geno

Hunters.

 

[Ooccoo]

Another FPS? Fuck that

 

[viveks86]

I have never heard of this game before today but it sounds cool.

No one has. It was announced today.

 

[Toparaman]

Getting a Citizen Kane vibe from this, which is a good thing.

Fixed.

 

[El_Chino]

Another FPS? Fuck that

A lot of hatred towards an FPS being announced in here. We should all be glad it's at least a new IP.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Are people actually down on this? Sounds (and looks) awesome to me.

 

[HariKari]

Another FPS? Fuck that

Except for that part where the player who is the monster is third person.

Reminds me of "The Hidden" mod for HL2, which was hilarious at times. Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Plenty of talent there to make something special.

 

[panama chief]

giving us a monster hunter style console experience cause capcom wont huh?? thanks!

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Thanks for the details, guys! This has me excited, can't wait to see more.

Wonder how the guys at Valve are reacting to the news (if at all), since they're doing L4D3.

 

[Wensih]

Personally disappointed as a single player only type of guy. Some really cool games are coming out that I won't be playing because I just don't find any appeal in online multiplayer.

Titanfall
Destiny
Evolved
etc.

Hopefully this generation won't be about forcing multiplayer down everyone's throat because I won't be playing many new games in that scenario.

 

[Milennia]

All of this sounds amazing so far, very excited now as opposed to skeptical.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

I love me some FPS

Can't wait to see this in motion. Sounds promising!

 

[Orayn]

So how many fps or 3rd person multiplayer shooter games does this make for next gen? Please be excited.

Count the amount of games with either 3rd person or 1st person gun combat released in a year. Was this shit needed? Do we really need more? Seriously, sick of this shit. Stop paying attention to these things. Remember the old Devil May Cry games? Remember when 3rd person had a sword? Remember when games weren't put together mainly for multiplayer shlock with a gun and they focused on rewarding and LASTING EXPERIENCES in single player?

Yeah I cant either anymore. They've been shoveling this shit with both hands for so long I cant even see around it anymore to any games that might be different. From now on if they tease a cover or ANYTHING it should come with warnings about FPS or gunplay focused combat being involved. Bored to fucking tears these days.

At least the multiplayer I do use in Fighting games has some fucking depth to it thats deeper than run and shoot or hiding and even those games I go on record daily as saying they need to put FAR more single player content into them like MK9 did (which wasn't even that good combat wise).

ANOTHER FIRST PERSON SHOOTER FOCUSING ON MULTIPLAYER PLEASE BE EXCITED.

Fuck this gens publishers. Fuck em all for never doing anything different or at least single player focused without a gun. Fuck folks for forgetting how great 3rd person hand to hand combat is in games.

Sick of all this shit. I never have anything to look forward to in games these days.

Now I understand what the latest Jimquisition was about..

 

[deejay8595]

Little bit more:

- You don't need a full squad to play. AI fills in the empty spots. This goes for the monster too.
- Players can revive each other like in Left 4 Dead. Three-Strikes rule applies here as well.
- All the Hunters have jetpacks.
- Team Monster can win multiple ways. Either kill all 4 Hunters at the same time or complete an objective. The objective example they give is take down a shield
generator at a mining facility. Sounds like it's guarded by AI. Each level has it's own unique objective.

Cool. I'm definitely down for this game!

 

[GreggTheGrimReaper]

Totally forgot about this game but now that you've mentioned it a successor could be quite awesome. It'll probably be a download title these days if Enix will ever consider this.

 

[KlotePino]

I loved L4D's multiplayer and this seems heavily inspired by it obviously so I'm really interested and excited. I'm a little worried though because of two things, first of all the team gameplay element as infected in L4D was one of the most fun things in the game. Playing as the monster has always been more interesting to me than being the survivor so I'm hoping they manage to find a twist that makes it just as fun to play either side, especially seeing as how there's no team element to the monster's side. Also the biggest problem with L4D's multiplayer was it's lack of punishment when it comes to leavers/griefers etc. They really need a ranked mode or atleast something else that makes sure you play a serious match if you want to. If they manage to ease my concerns on both I'll put money down on this game right now.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Sounds like a more fleshed out The Hidden. I'm on board, no one's nailed that concept perfectly yet.

 

[HK-47]

I'm more of a campaign guy than a versus one, so my love for L4D probably wont transition over to this game.

 

[rdrr gnr]

I genuinely don't understand some of the responses in here. It was clear from the other thread that the game was Evolve as another poster vouched for the reveal. It's a new IP from a competent studio that is next-gen only. It's also a gameplay-focused title that seemingly does away with a traditional SP. Online-only being a no-buy for some people is just embarrassing on a forum like this. Why wouldn't you want a game to embrace what it does best?
