Have to say that I'm looking forward to this. Looks like it might be a nice mix of horror and action, plus I've been waiting for a decent Alien game (Not alien v.s predator) for a while now.
That motion sensor... ye gods. It terrified me as a kid, and I still battle with that residual terror today. I just hope there's a few scenes where you qalk around and you DON'T get attacked, cause the quiet times are the most scary in Alien games and movies. The non-stop action wears thin a lot faster.
Give me some bolters, chain-sword, and a jet pack, then you seal the deal!~ oh oops wrong game...hahaha...
but really... too many times have we suckered in to buying alien games... non even comes close to the original (the one on PC)... it's nice that they are focusing on just aliens, and humans... but none of these things on the trailers we haven't seen in games before... I'll have to try the demo to see...

That's a selling point to me for shootemups, how the weapons feel. The visual and sound combined just the right way makes any vibrating controllers just plain silly. I got the feeling from Doom 2 with the double barreled shotgun, from the sniper rifle in Medal of Honor Allied Assault, and then just recently with the weapons featured in the demo of Space Marine. I swear my arm was vibrating afterward from all that chainsaw* action.SammiYin said:
To be fair, this wasn't the best portrayal of the action in this game. Their best bet would be to release a demo and let gamers feel the game. If it is the right formula, then sales are assured. If not, then there was nothing lost and they can scale back their production.
*:Chainsword? I forget what it is called.
I really enjoyed the marines section of AVP just for the atmosphere, this seems like it will capture that to a greater degree. The major draw for me with an Aliens game is the chance to recreate the feeling I got from watching the movie, that holyf**kwhatwasthats**trunthatwasawesomef**k!!! feeling. Also, the motion sensor is a great tool for scaring the crap out of you.
Looks good but the story has a huge gaping hole in it, LV-426's colony would have been utterly destroyed as the teraforming station the marines wrecked in Alien's went into critical overload and would have wiped out the colony. Also the Sulaco wouldn't have been there as it jumped out of system at the end of the film, will still play it but just a hole that I feel sticks a great big finger up at the films end.
Thank god it's not more "Alien vs Predator" crap. I'll be keeping my eye on it, I used to love the Alien movies.
Let's hope the movie industry follows suit and either a)Makes a standalone Alien movie or b)Just stops making Alien vs Predator. I thought those movies sucked...

Is it just me, or did they spell battalion wrong? "The USCM dispatched the USS Sephora with a batallion sized force..." Not a good start...
