Aliens: Colonial Marines walkthrough gameplay - General

Besides the dodgey commentary by Randy, I'm kinda interested. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBIpUEjFFHA&feature=feedu[/media]

lol continuity always gets thrown out the window whenever someone makes a follow up to Aliens, always good for a laugh to see what they come up with. The entire planet got blown the fuck up at the end of the movie, kinda hard to go back there. But who cares this game looks like it could be seriously fun. Here's hoping it ends up being worth all those fucking delays.

I don't know what to make of it really. As long as its got the scare factor and decent length it should be alright I guess. Not quite sure about the random new species, I know there were some in books/comics but its such a touchy subject area to tackle.

Eh they gotta make things interesting again somehow. It's Aliens, everyone knows it and it's been done to death. Making things interesting with some new aliens is a pretty obvious move. Otherwise everyone knows what to expect with it.

To make it really interesting, they should add some Predators. No one would expect that.

They do need to focus on giving the whole marine experience more than anything though.

I hope I can act like a real Colonial Marine. And get eaten.

How dare they put iron sights on my beloved pulse rifle.

How many fingers am I holding up? *middle finger*

Yes...pant shitting co-op terror hopefully. Aliens vs predator co-op was great until you found out it was just basically waves with 2 maps :( Can't wait for this.

Uh, You know i've been waiting for this game since 2001, I'm going to buy it no matter what. I know this is a WIP but I'm a bit let down. Pulse rifle V_textures are fugly. The FOV should definitively be adjustable. Acid blood doesn't leave marks on surfaces, doesn't melt through thin objects like boxes or you. Blood, hopefully a place holder Aliens aren't a your fucked scenario, theres too many and they seem too easy to kill they were tough in the movies. I like it but a decade of expectations hurts it just like DNF, They have my money for now hopefully it gets better. [editline]30th September 2011[/editline] also it's not scary so far

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];32561629']They just nuked it, the planet didn't blow up bro.[/QUOTE] Planet was in the process of being terra-formed so a nuke would royally fuck that up.

Lol they said Oscar Mike. MW2 in spaaace. I had pretty high hopes for this game but it seems kinda meh to be honest. They kind of threw everything they could from the movie into that one scene, plus some stuff they made up. Iunno, I don't think I'll be getting it. [editline]30th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=spekter;32561674]Planet was in the process of being terra-formed so a nuke would royally fuck that up.[/QUOTE] Yea, it fucked up the atmosphere generator, which was in the process of making the atmosphere breathable. They basically just blew up a nuke, which would have no different effect than on Earth. It's not like because they nuke the atmos the planet breaks in half or some shit. If I remember right, they even mention in the 3rd or 4th that LV-426 became fully colonized anyway, but I'm not certain on that one.

Was kinda hoping it was gonna be scarier but i'll reserve judgement.

As far as I'm aware this game is x amount of hours after the planet got bombed and you're within the area that got nuked majority of the time since you're visiting places from the movie etc. In which case there should have been some form of fuck up regarding the atmosphere. Also hardly anyone really liked the canon of the third movie, fourth was an abomination.

[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;32561854]maybe the parts with allies are actiony,and alone amnesia like[/QUOTE] see that would be awesome, i'd want the Lone parts to be so bad you'd be crapping yourself just for turning the next corner. [editline]1st October 2011[/editline] or like you know there's an alien in the room and you're so scared to take another step.

[QUOTE=Source;32561908]see that would be awesome, i'd want the Lone parts to be so bad you'd be crapping yourself just for turning the next corner.[/QUOTE] True but they would have to restrict how many xenos come for you or be really creative with the AI. The last thing this game needs is a "one man wins the war" scenario

It was a joke, calm your tits. And I don't know for certain, but if is hours after, then I still doubt there would be anything happening to the atmosphere. Atmos add breathable oxygen to the air, it's not like the atmosphere just explodes whenever a nuke goes off. Radiation, sure, I'd like that, fallout, acid rain, sure, if the atmosphere could sustain clouds yet, but I don't think it would be anything spectacular. And I agree on the 3rd and 4th movies.

Well yeah I don't mean the atmosphere is going to go bat shit but I do certainly expect some really nasty weather etc to be present.

They are making great use of their shoulder flashlights, pointing it at the ground.

[QUOTE=WaffleCopter;32564092]They are making great use of their shoulder flashlights, pointing it at the ground.[/QUOTE] Don't wanna step in alien shit.

Just don't have any cut scenes where I leave my point of view. Make it like half-life and I will be satisfied as fuck.

It looks alright, something about the gameplay seems weird though. Like the guns don't give out any umph.

A lot of this looks pretty bad... Did the acid blood just sorta disappear?

Love those classic sounds.

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];32561629']They just nuked it, the planet didn't blow up bro.[/QUOTE]Really? I seem to recall the entire planet bursting at the end of the movie. Eh guess I'll need to watch it again.

[QUOTE=postal;32567290]Really? I seem to recall the entire planet bursting[/QUOTE] No, those were just chests.

[QUOTE=MasterG;32567491]I kind of like Randy. he seems pretty genuine.[/QUOTE] "That's what we call a close encounter" I was genuinely waiting for the who to start playing when he said that.
