That Aliens Game looks sick. Where is it getting a release?

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

You suggest we buy a few more first person shooters? Because they might pass us by unnoticed?

Tired of guns in my games, give me something more, go and fetch Jim.

 

[tmande2nd]

To bad I wont be gaming anytime till Christmas break.
Damn you higher education and your time stealing ways!
DAMN YOU!

 

[Shameless]

You're an Atheist? that says "Thank God for me" in every episode ? go figure.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

As a Texan and an atheist i have but one thing to say.
Why the fucking FUCK would you willingly go to the bible belt. Are you a slayer sworn to die a heroic death? Are you insane? or do you just like feeling(and knowing you are) superior to every person within a 50 mile radius of your position at any given moment?

Maybe he's got a death wish. By the way, don't make any more posts today, you're 1337 at the moment

I tried the demo for Hard Reset a few days back. It was pretty unimpressive. The fights were all the same. I felt like I had seen everything the game had to offer within the first few minutes. Environments were rather pretty though.

Some of the others he mentioned looked cool though.

 

[beetrain]

Hard Reset looks really good, too bad the demo chugs on my machine.

 

[Callate]

The "bump-bomp" at 6:00 had me checking to see if something had become detatched from my computer.

The "Aliens" title looks like a promising throwback to side-scrolling shooters of old; perhaps I'll give it a look.

People still like games where you shoot a thing at a thing with a thing. I don't care for it myself but those are the games that are coming out. Just gonna have to do research for those game that aren't popular.

 

[SammiYin]

I'm so excited for the aliens game, it should be enough to keep my cravings down until it hits consoles with Colonial Marines.
Then I shall play on both consoles at once and become the ultimate being, well apart from Jim of course.

 

[Aureliano]

Neat, I've been missing some purely sci-fi zap zappies of late. This episode is just what I've been hoping for lately: some well-researched ideas on what games to try out that can sate me until Saints Row the Third comes out.

 

[beetrain]

I tried the demo for Hard Reset a few days back. It was pretty unimpressive.

Indeed.

I haven't played the demo, but the game just looks so generic. I have heard people compare it to Doom and Painkiller, but the comparison doesn't make sense to me.

The idea of fighting only robots also sounds very boring.

I think people are exited for it because it looks like it focuses more on fast paced fun than realism like a lot of modern FPSs.
Why do you think fighting robots would be boring? Because they're not alive or because they'd lack variaty, because from the demo I've seen they come in all shapes and sizes.

 

[Sonicron]

Scivelation looks sort of interesting, I'll keep an eye on that. Oh, and the new Serious Sam, too.
The rest... not so much.

Also, regarding your chosen place of residence, you're either supremely courageous or insane.

 

[Scrustle]

That Cursed Crusade game looks quite cool, can't believe I haven't seen anything about it. Might check that out.

 

[shadowmagus]

Cursed Crusade looked good but Scivelation looked awesome. I'll have to keep an eye on it and hope it delivers.

 

[josemlopes]

So... the only game I am interested in is SS:BFE but I was always interested on that game.

The first game isnt going to get much love because of Dark Souls, simple as that.
The DS games are probably known among DS users.
The other game doesnt have a lot to show, and Hard Reset is quind of mediocre.

None of this games are gems, and the ones that are called big boys have the reasons to be called big boys.

Either way most of these games have been talked about

Serious Sam 3 is going to be one hell of a game. It should have a broader audience then it has. it's just a big barrel of fun.
