GarethRDR Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Is this game actually **** happening or what? I remember openly sobbing with joy at reading about it 3 years back (they got Syd Mead on board for design, Syd **** Mead! :shock:) , I've heard sweet F.A. about it since and on Gearbox's website under 'Games In Development' they've listed it next to Duke Nukem Forever which puts the shits up me good and proper. The fact that they're also running a recruitment campaign on their homepage for what must constitute an entire gaming staff doesn't fill me with optimism either.

Chindie Posted December 17, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2010 Still in development, they teased a few shots of it a few months back just to remind people that it still exists at an expo. Borderlands popularity and all the DLC they did for it basically meant a lot of the workforce got shifted to that away from Aliens, but it should still get made. I can't help thinking that, regardless, it'll be shit. Theres something about the aliens franchise that seems to make games in the series either quality (the earlier PC AvPs) or shite (everything else). A shooter with the same monster all game might get a tad dull, especially when it's something that's going to rely on scaring the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Alien Trilogy on the PS1 was **** amazing! I've heard it's going to be a similar game but dragged into the 21st century, should be brilliant if they give it the time and effort it deserves.

Sie Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Just the other day an announcement was made to expect a reveal in the next couple of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 1, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2011 It Lives! And appears to have big ideas on where it sits in Alien canon - appears to be sticking itself as a direct sequel to the events of Aliens. Big ambition. I still suspect it might be a bit crap.

Chindie Posted June 2, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2011 It isn't great. But for the right money and if you don't expect to blow your socks off, you might enjoy it. Check a demo if theres one out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I watched the gameplay video earlier, it's about 10 minutes long or so. It looks good. Basically if you liked Aliens the movie you are pretty much bound to love this. All the official sound effects were shown off, and the managed to give you a good look around Hadley's Hope and some of the LV-426 scenary, which included loads of little tidbits from the film. A nice bit of the walkthrough involved the player setting a sentry gun, as per the section of the film in the directors cut, followed by the xenomorphs breaking through a door and spreading all over the place, the walls, the floor the ceiling. Looking great.There are bound to be comparisons drawn to Dead Space, Gears of War, and to a lesser extent Mass Effect - but the fact is those games probably wouldnt exist as we know them had it been for Aliens.

Laivasse Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Not to shit up the good feeling about this game in this thread, but when this video came out a month or so back I remember discussing it on another forum. Overall the impression was pretty negative due to the highly scripted combat, badly scripted script, bad looking acid, dated graphics and whatnot. Just offering an unwelcome alternate viewpoint, no crucify plxthx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
