Aliens: Colonial Marines

[Gregz]

This looks...a lot better than what they had before, maybe they actually did a redesign based on fan feedback like they claim?

:here's hoping: + :cautiously optimistic:

I'd pay for that L4D clone. But I'd rather see an Alien multiplayer game where the players are the real enemies.

Take the "Flush it out the airlock" plan in the first film. Make it an objective that requires at least a handful of people working together. Then complicate it by giving one of those players the "Bring it back alive, all other objectives secondary" objective. And sprinkle a bit of awesome fuckery on top in the form of an Alien that will strike more or less at random against the players, and make it the kind of Alien from the first film. You know, the kind where the only way to win is to run faster than the other guy.

Which is a good idea that I never considered before. Speaking of clones, I actually think an "Amnesia: TDD" Alien clone would be kind of awesome too. Make it like the first film where you are stuck in a ship with no weapons, so the objectives involve running away, trying to out smart it, and shitting yourself in fear. Maybe add a few puzzles here and there there too, with the ultimate objective being finding some way to kill the alien.

Wherever I clicked in that video I only saw some morons dressed like hipsters talking about how awesome they are. I literally clicked in 5 random places and there were hipsters talking on the screen.
I thought it was about the game?

Skip to 3:17....look at that clown.

I hate modern gaming. Instead of trailers showing us a game, we get goddamn mtv documentaries with more ugly faces of fuckers who make 3 textures for one weapon. I don't care about them, I don't care what they think and "why did they decide to do that" or "how did they do that" with maybe 10 seconds of actual gaming footage. I don't want to see them, I don't want to know them, I want to see a goddamn game trailer, not some fucking diary.

Look at these scenes with 10 shots of one guy making retarded smiles. God.

Love the dev testing the game with a gamepad. God damn even nerds can't be trusted to keep it real this days.

Eh, looks extremely banalshitboring. Of course it has slow aliens, how else could you aim with a controller? Of course it has low FoV and everything looks like on constant zoom, but you're supposed to play it on a TV, 3 meters away. Dialogues are cheezy as fuck, but so was Aliens movie.
I'll stay away from it.

The SEGA logo is basically a biohazard symbol to me.

Jesus, it's like a Mega 64 parody video. The guy at 3.07 looks and moves more like a Xenomorph than the ones in the game. Their office is clearly situated in the city from Mirror's Edge FFS.

I had heard of the decline, but I had not before seen the decline embodied so thoroughly as in this game and it's creators.

Just look at the mingun gameplay in the OP video. Holy shit.

 

[MapMan]

Jesus fuck. Am I the only one who gets fucking nauseated when I see Randy "fucking douchebag" pitchfork (or whatever)? That guy is such a fucking prick I want to punch him in the face.

 

[Flanged]

It's not just you MapMan. Great minds think alike. was so unreasonably enraged by this video and the decline it drips that I felt the need to pay it tribute.

 

[Marsal]

Did you make that, Flanged? Nicely done! First view and a thumbs up from me. And I didn't even have this thread watched. It's like destiny

That M&B mod looks nasty. Did you finish it (I'm not really in the loop)?

 

[Flanged]

Enjoy!

What the...

That looks amazing.

Haven't ever fully finished it, if you mean GoG - kind of finished the dismemberment thing, mainly as a modder's resource though.

Had to make that video man, Colonial Marines looks fuckawful yet Gearbox look so smug. Raging here. But check the one Don Peste posted if you want your mind truly blown! It's Prosperous in the extreme.

Another video of this turd

The Alien franchise is total shit, just like any other "franchise". The first movie was not even good by itself (unwatchable today), but more in what possibilities it implied and the beauty of Giger's design. The implications it had were never realized in any movie or game, sadly.

The only hope for survival horror is in small indie studios. Frictional are the only ones.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Embarassing.

 

[Transgressive Grenadier]

wut

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Someone shoot asper.

To me, this game is DNF all over again, except at least a decade of anticipation is cut out.

The game looks beautiful, sounds just like the film and will feature areas that take you to Hadley's Hope. The problem? It's all done to shove a lame-ass, me-too cloned FPS with achievements down our throats. I'd rather have a facehugger than the gameplay they're attaching to this.

 

[Monk]

Probably should have made it a single-player adventure with sneak, puzzle, and shooting situations, where you get to play different roles (civilian and marine) in events similar to those from the first three films (alien on board science vessel, pod crash lands on planet with mining colony and prison, marines with corporation reps sent to investigate).

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I thought Sega didn't have any money? Why did they keep drag on this turd, and not just cancel it? They canceled the Alien RPG after all...

 

[Flanged]

Utterly disgusting. Beneath contempt and beyond forgiveness.

Double Kill! Points popping out of Xenomorph heads when you shoot them! This is supposed to be horror?

Truly can it be said of Gearbox: "They live among men no worse than themselves, so that disgrace is made a habit."

Controversial! Edgy, even. And yet you're right that there's no such thing as a good franchise. Aliens was a great movie though, and Alien is still a powerful film. Even Alien 3 had a couple of good ideas and some (sadly wasted) potential. But the "franchise" should only ever have consisted of the first two films and nothing else.

I don't get how people are saying this game sounds like the movies, btw, even if it is using the original, official sounds. Listen to those guns in the vids! I don't know what's gone wrong in the mix but they have all the power and realism of electric egg-whisks. And the way the minigun looks and moves in-game is comical, I mean c'mon!

Ach, forgot you can't use imageshack here.
