Maybe one day we'll get a great Aliens co-op experience. You know, add some depth to it and don't copy the Gears of War gameplay loop. Let's hope the devs don't f* this one up with consolitis and crap like that

Just Nuke it from Orbit?!?!

What the heck-diddly-eck are we supposed to use? Harsh language?

Happy to see more coop games. Hope they do it right.

I'm gonna be blunt. This looks like shit. Total and utter garbage. A third person cover shooter? Really, that's the legacy of AvP and AvP2? (Don't get me started on A:CM)

They mostly come out on Steam.... mos'ly.

Console dreck IMO. Where is a new AvP fps? Or just an Aliens fps? Or how about that Aliens rpg? Like Dying Light but with Aliens and on some foreign planet instead of a city? Developers? Hello? Do your read me?

Pvt. Hudson: "How do I get out of this chicken shit outfit?"

Ooo I wanna do one.

You can stick this game in Bay 12, please.

... right next to Colonial Marines.

I don't mind 3rd person games, buit this is a game that should NOT be 3rd person.

A bunch of ex-employees from various places with nothing of note under their belt - put in charge of a massive franchise game..... WHAT could go wrong ?

“It was a bad call, Ripley. A bad call…”

The Exit door is to your right!!

I think it would have better if this were a turned-based and real-time tactical strategy like X-COM (with the ability to toggle between turn-based or real-time) along with co-op with up to four other players. It seems like the devs are just regurgitating the same tired formula that failed multiple entries.

Ugh, didn't know this was going to be THIRD-PERSON. *interest level "detensifies"*

Alien-related multiplayer offerings have been pretty mediocre over the past two decades or so. The only MP mode in the last AvP game which I had fun with was Infestation - and that's pretty much long dead now. A:CM's multiplayer was generally bleh, but I did have a blast with the Bug Hunt DLC for awhile - again while it actually still had players. And this? Not even going to be cautiously optimistic at this stage. I see it's on Steam for wishlisting already so I'll keep an eye on it and see what more is on the table here.

Argh, I was hoping for a first person option here. I may still have to get it anyway, but it can't be as good in 3rd person. I so desperately want a good first person co-op Aliens game.

Seems like this would have been the perfect IP to use the engine/environment from GTFO. 4-player co-op sneak/aggressive bug-hunt.

Anyone playing GTFO? And if so, what you think?

It's on my radar, but not interested until it's out of early access.

For the few hours I played it with two friends, I liked it and got frustrated by it. Reminded me of Dark Souls, where 'difficulty' was basically 'haha hope you brought Vaseline'. You definitely have to communicate with your team mates, and even then, when something goes wrong, it goes wrong SPECTACULARLY.
There's no scaling in difficulty to the game. You got in solo? GOOD LUCK, MEAT. You go with friends? Your chances get marginally better.

There's adjustments that need to be made to the game, for sure, but if you want somethin' like Left 4 Dead, but way creepier, I'd recommend. Only if you got 3 other souls willing to consign themselves to a hell of a ride.
