The very obvious problem with that though is that many gamers alive today will have never seen or even heard of the movie.gtfo :mad:
IKR? Any self-respecting gamer (or human being for that matter) should have seen Aliens at least twice by now.

Yes but it's also been shown off extensively to the press and had two public demos. Sure, an embargo on its own doesn't mean everything but when combined with everything else, it's enough to raise serious suspicion.Again, that means absolutely nothing these days. Revengeance is also embargoed, for example, until launch day

LMFAO!, priceless, spaceballs aint got sh*t on that0 -
The game had been outsourced to about 4 companies in total, I think. Nothing too unusual but Gearbox were supposedly only known to have taken on the multiplayer and be pretty much the face of this game.
The gameplay from the demo showed at E3 2011 is non-existent, too.
That alien looks like it ran out of toilet roll halfway through and is gone for a wander to find more0 -

For **** sake. Can you imagine trying that in the original AvP games? You'd have your face ripped off within bloody seconds.
Note this video was taken on the Hardened difficulty level.

I think they should've made the game sand box (on a scale similar to System Shock 2, say) and had it that you were stuck on a base or colony waiting for transport off (like Aliens, basically).
The aliens don't need to be especially bullet proof (they weren't in the films), but the blood should splash and cause damage. Either have numerous aliens with splash damage relatively small (unless you step on a corpse) but recoverable only with special med kits, or have fewer aliens but with severe splash damage. To balance the difficulty have certain guns cause little damage, but little to no splash damage (ie small hand guns and sawn off shotguns used to slow down or knock back aliens rather than kill, unless you get a head shot).
If it still seems too hard, then just rip off Zombiu and have a different character every time you die, with your old gear obtainable from the (face hugged
) corpse of your old character.
Have the difficulty setting relate to where your main base is. Harder difficulty changes the location of the base (further away from main armories and med stations), make it harder to defend (more door ways and air ducts to block or guard). Have missions like going out to get supplies, restore some power, deal with treacherous NPC's etc.0 -
Spot on review
Someone needs to get a kickstarter going for a proper atmospheric single player and multiplayer Aliens game.0 -

And for the multiplayer, for example, use something similar to the Left 4 Dead model. Survival horror, a squad of marines vs tough player controlled aliens. As a group the marines have the upper hand, but when split apart the aliens gain the advantage. Proven gameplay. It's just sad that no company seems to be able to achieve what should be relatively easy - everything they need is right there in the film.0 -
Don't play it, contact Steam support and request your money back on the basis that the day one reviews embargo and no demo meant you didn't know it was going to be so poor. Alternatively cite the myriad of bugs currently plaguing the game. Should do the trick and you get to not support this kind of ****ty development.I was so looking forward to this - its the first game I've pre-ordered on Steam for my new PC. Ugh. Guess I'll go play it and at least give it a lash. 0 -

I didn't buy it through steam
Yeah, after about 30 seconds of this I knew it was all wrong. It feels like a Half Life 1 - generation game. The graphics are godawful, the animations are clunky and terrible, script is stupid, there's no tension whatsoever. The aliens are about as scary as a bag of potatoes. This feels like a pre-alpha version of the game they first made SIX years ago! Absolutely terrible. Worst 30 euro I ever spent :mad:0 -
