^I'm nervous.  This one could be really good, but it could also be REALLY bad.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

For your sake alone I hope it is good.  I have too many games and I will probably
have to buy it anyway.

This will be my first new buy of the year. I am a sucker for the franchise. But I don't know if it will be a day one purchase.

New trailer released today and word on the street is that it is beyond bad...

It's called the 'Kick Ass' trailer. The voice over Sucks Ass.

I can predict the review titles already.

"GAME OVER, MAN, GAME OVER!!"

"Nuke this game from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."


Lord, how is it that the only good space marine game for the Aliens franchise, is still the original Space Hulk?!? (I'm allowing that the Alien and Predator sections of the first two AvP games were resepectable. Never played the recent reboot.)

I just bought the whole Alien series on blu ray in anticipation too, including Prometheus :/

The ending of that trailer was pure cheese-wizz. That's not a value judgement by any means, just an observation.

I feel the same way. And a bad FPS is a BAD FPS.

Well - I was initially very excited about this. There was an Alien game out on the PC early 2000 I believe and it gave me the heebijeebi's - couldn't play it in the end - but the gameplay was alright and fitted.

That trailer only dampened my enthusiasm for this one - and that's NOT what trailers are meant to do. And it wasn't just the awful voice over either.

So I was going to buy - but I can definitely wait for the game to come out and hear what the word on the street is

I know some of you seemed interested in this game...if so Get Games Go has a pretty decent deal for $30 (retail price was $49.99).

Then use the code LV-426 when checking out.....

I hope I'm wrong for the sake of some of you, but I have a bad feeling about this drop game.  It doesn't look promising from the trailers.  I guess the co-op might be fun for a while, but probably not £35 of fun.

i love the Alien franchise  8) and was on the fence about this .... but i will wait trusted  player's impression for sure   :-X

Gusington

I really wanted to buy on release day but there's no way I will do that now with the recent trailer fiasco. Going to wait and see. Fingers-crossed.

I too love the Alien franchise and have been waiting a long time for this release but...in this golden age of games 50.00 is a lot to ask even for an excellent game...never mind if it's an unknown quantity.
