Aliens Fireteam Official Announcement Trailer

Games have gone from just campaigns, to campaigns with tacked on multiplayer in the 2000s, then to multiplayer with tacked on campaigns around 2010, then just $40 online-only games.

Lower production values, low-faith projects trying to copy popular products, and bigger companies trying to imitate indie games/early access titles I think.

For Aliens: Fireteam though everyone expected this to be an MMO but they went radio silent while in development hell until a couple months before launch with their marketing plan being to call themselves a left4dead clone lol.

I think a more apt comparison would be World War Z but then I can’t think many even played World War Z for it to come up in conversation. So while it might end up being fun for friends I think this does stand a real risk of it ending up more or less forgotten.

If this game doesn’t have PVP and there’s no more great franchises games of Uncharted, Crysis, and Infamous, I might not even buy a PS5. I might become more of a PC gamer and play PS3 era games on PC.

I actually prefer PVE games.

Means you’re a filthy casul
