Damn I hope this really doesn't fail at all, I've been dying for a great ALIENS game since the unfortunate failure that was Colonial Marines.
The only thing leaving me halfway wary is the "playing as Ripley's daughter" thing. Looks like a really solid game, atmosphere-wise.

I don't find obligatory robot FPS fighting to be anything but a huge red flag of another generic game.

Pretty sure she was confirmed a part of the series canon since Aliens iirc.

I don't see it

She was but I'm also pretty sure she lived a peaceful, uneventful life on her home planet and died of old age.
[quote]Alien: Isolation even went to the trouble of re-recording some of the game’s video assets over old, beaten-up VHS copies of Alien—then transferring the video, tape glitches and all, back into the game. This attention to detail is fantastic.[/quote]
Hmm
[QUOTE]space station [B]Sevastopol[/B] is as close to Ridley Scott’s original vision as possible.[/QUOTE]
How apt that a space station with that name is invaded.

or is that what the company wants you to think also you gotta remember that the guy who told Ripley this also tried to let 2 Facehuggers face-rape her and a 8-11 year old girl
Still think the timing with this and Routine is weird.

I'm sure the Weyland-Yutani guy who set facehuggers on Ripley and Newt, and was directly responsible for most of the deaths in Aliens can be trusted.

This isn't an Aliens game, it's an Alien game. HUGE difference. :v:

You can't trust canon anymore since ACM tried to change it up.
[sp]I love Hicks and all, but how he got swapped out of cryotube was silly.[/sp]
It's going to suck. I just know it, this franchise is cursed to forever have shitty games after the classics. The playtesters be hatin' . I'm going to remain pessimistic until I've read Facepunch's impression after playing it.
After reading the bad things in this preview more of it sounds like the writer has a problem with horror games in general more than anything else.

I don't know, inconsistent AI behaviour like that doesn't sound good. Not to mention that the xenomorphs are hardly scary anymore, we know everything about them really.

I do think they are scary but people have no idea how to make them appear scary.
That's like saying because you watched Rule34 of a character you can't take it serious anymore.

I don't really agree with that. There is not much to go on with facts about Aliens. We don't even know what the acid blood is really for, or how they actually sense things.
The games and movies just try to make something up so people can play/watch through an alien.
I've seen the original movie 20ish times and it still makes me tense up
[QUOTE=zpiscool;44333641]Pretty sure she was confirmed a part of the series canon since Aliens iirc.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure she died of cancer after never having had seen an Alien ever in her entire life.
A retcon is a retcon and this is a retcon done purely for marketing tie in and "product validity".

Dan Abnett writes super over the top grunty sweaty-mans action-drama, which is why is he absolutely perfect for 40K, and absolutely not perfect for this game.

No offense, but a few lines of dialogue from a scene that's only in the extended version of the movie isn't really enough to illustrate a person's entire life's story. All those lines really confirmed is that she'll survive the events of the game.
Unless you're talking about something from a comic, which makes that statement double-bullshit because comic canon is only barely more valid than fanfiction.
