Aliens FT release date and pre-order trailer

#28

Not sure if that would destroy the actual movement mechanics or make it better. Sometimes aliens just don’t move correctly when in first person- they tend to make it way too responsive.
Not to mention the enormous amount of collision scripting.

That perspective has been clearly done in the past and with faults. I only want the marine experience to be the best experience possible ahead of anything.

I think the glue which is the narrative will hold this game and keep us coming back. much like how PHG has since its not just an empty shell, it actually has substance that have people talking. Much of this forum has been about wtf is going on with the story.

“That will be due out post-launch, alongside free major updates.”

Taken from this article

Even world war z has an upcoming expansion with a new campaign and first person mode

#31

Didn’t realize it leaked last night

#32

The head crabs…

looking like Steam is taking the aliens license to a whole nother level. At least inline with Halflife.

Yeah I thought that’s what was in the background of this image

The main big boy here looks like a slightly evolved
trilobyte. or exactly a trilobyte that has more defined muscles for movement.
The digits look right just with an actual skeletal system, and the face is where is should be. Even the claws are an exact match with a pair of arms looking like it evolved to a giant piercing claw. and back legs actually having musculature.
In the film, it was more like an octopus.

The campaigns are an hour long. I would applaud them supporting their game longer than a single year but lol.
Who is still there honestly hyped waiting for them to release another 60 min of bonus gameplay? The people that bought the pay2win pre-upgraded guns?

The real head scratcher is who tf thought world war Z was worth copying.

#36

I believe that game is gonna be a shitty one.

#37

You dont know that. We have to wait until release for sure to know how this game functions.
Copying ACM is a problem for me personally since I played the game and was just shaken by how dated it felt but since its a franchise, it actually looked spot on in regards to alien models. Not so for the environments…too many low budget feels made me dislike it.
This has a high budget feel (probably since they had built models off of old models). So i think they have environments down pact. But gameplay wise, i can’t tell what they have instore until we get an actual live feed of playing the game. Or if they release a demo.
This will show us what effort they put into the game.

#38

What in that 25 min of gameplay they posted of people strafing left & right shooting at red X’s has a high budget feel to you?
I’m curious.

#39

I want to know the payoff of using Cards. I want to know what i’m grinding for. that 25 mins was essentially what a fractionof what they explained.
I want to know how dynamic the wave of aliens are. Why there are aliens in the first place, I want to see how the narrative is included. I want to know how much harder it is with bot buddies rather than real buddies.
I want to see how fun it is to upgrade weapons.
i want to know if there are dynamic kills.
I want to know if there are stronger class perks that allow me to escape thigns.
Dont you think about this?

I want to see a trailer describing 100% of the game before we buy, i dont need a silent musical trailer to sell this game.
Games like this don’t need to be shrouded in mystery. We learned that from PHG. After much investigation we only had more wants and needs. So to get straight to the point, I dontwant to grind for 30 days to find out that it sucks. I want to know what it has to offer. I want a video about the mechanics and narrative.

If we get another video showing aliens crawling and jumping and shit, they have done what the other AVP games have in the past. We get nothing in the end.
I want to see their ingenuity in game design. They usually do this for AAA titles. Think the horizon zero dawn sequal.
Of course they aren’t the same budget but damn…
AFT is still seeking your attention through shallow marketing.

Meaningless grinding away at the same missions =/= high budget

WWZ has the same grinding model then they release a dlc pack with stuff already upgraded in it.

Considering they went to such lengths to make sure its the exact same game i’d imagine it also has the same weapon trees as WWZ.

#41

probably. wouldnt be surprised. I think i played that game once. then uninstalled it.

#42

But i also dont recall WWZ having an actual universe plot with lore atached to it.
If they make lore an essential part of the game play, then thats a clear selling point. If they dont make a video about it, i wont even bother picking this game up

Using PHG as an example, they sold it out right with Arnold stepping up and providing VO for lore based content not to mention they put his silly ass in the game… People buy paper back novels about this franchise, they buy comics. They buy merch.

#43

There are 3 new locations

Should be over 3 hours of new content

More for me since I didn’t finish the game

I’m getting it to support the evil dead game

It’s really not a bad game

Especially for $7

Or $27 with the upgrade

#44

I like how they showed the Engineer world and spaceship, I haven’t seen that before in Alien games.

#45

I think people will still enjoy the game for what it is. Just like with this game. Yeah, theres a lot of frustration, but people still enjoy the day to day without looking at the grim future ahead.

#46

From the current gameplay it seems a very poor game unfortunately :(
