Seems like the game was build on a generic 3rd person shooter template.

But so will your pp in your pants be when you get one of these.

That soundtrack is so fucking good. Damn.

Nah, I prefer real shooting toys or something fun to play with as this functional nerf gun with movie sounds. Especially for that price.

All TPS use generic 3rd person shooter template, i.e., your character is visible in third person view. Then they are refined in a better or worse way.
The same with FPS.

Exactly. The game from the start was meant to be very L4D-like, so, it only makes sense that they'd follow through with certain mechanics and inspirations. While I wanted first person, at least with third person it's a tad bit different. Also with a party of 3 rather than 4.

 

[Luipadre]

I watched some streams. Game looks mighty fine. Too bad for no crossplay tho. Hope it has a good replay value

Hoping it's as good as we hope, gets some good success, and we see it in the future!

It is at least decent if someone looks for TPS with arcade flavor. A great core Xeno swarm fighting experience like never before. However there are some things in the game (or rather are not utilized as expected) which can disappoint some fans.

Most definitely. I just hope some people can really accept it for what it is and what it looks like. A fun TPS arcade-like experience to enjoy with your friends.

Not a gigantic budget, devs first project, priced as a AA title, etc. This is looking like a really good/decent first project for them.

Wondering where this will fall between WWZ and zombie army series...

And we did not have to wait gazillion of years and any delays since its official reveal.

Very true! It feels like the news about it being worked on leaked forever ago, but I think that's because I was so excited about it, haha.

Yes, we just waited for anything since announcement of the project until the reveal this year and the game is almost here in no time.

Round up some friends and enjoy the spooky delights of Aliens Fireteam Elite.

Oh my gosh! It is over, I am cancelling my pre-order.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yup! I was genuinely surprised that the game's date was what it was when announced. But happy! No delays either. That's huge for a new dev, especially during these times.

God bless GWC.

 

[Starhowl]

I love the theme of the game and the way it looks. Not sure if I should buy it day one though..

No one is sure ATM. Unless the devs themselves say something, I don't know if we'll be getting a heads up.

Oops already posted. (Link removed)

Amazon sent me a notification saying my game wouldn't get here until September 1st... That sucks

Might get this as the real Left4Dead 3 since B4B is trash. Who Sony here?

Honestly, I figured a Queen would be the final boss in the game. Well, potentially.

Only by skipping as I was interested to check some stuff from a point view of its design. Anyways the game is the best shooter based on Alien/s franchise gameplay wise IMO. And has a huge potential for expansions because of this.

Ahh, gotcha! I believe it! I'm so incredibly hyped for it, and honestly after World War Z's surprising success there's no reason this couldn't be just as popular if not more so. I really hope they go all in with future DLC, truly. I just finished the Infiltrator audiobook, so I'm SO ready, haha.

 

[splattered]

No reviews still? I was hoping they would drop before release to push me over the edge and preorder.

I'll be up for some Bug Squashing on PS. Cockles_UK Digital so no early disc thru post.

Reviews probably coming at or after launch. Im gonna wait for some PS5 impressions before pulling the trigger. No crossplay really sucks tho since all of my friends are on PC :/

Yeah, as cool as it would've been I figured we'd be waiting because it's a AA title made by a small dev.

Yeah, crossplay would've been great, I just don't think it was lumped into the cost of development overall. But who knows, if the game does well and is fairly successful maybe we'll see it at a later date!

Nah, it was never planned for Game Pass.

The next new game that's similar to this style that's coming to Game Pass is Back 4 Blood. After that, Darktide eventually.

Yeah I hear that but I'm a massive fan of the franchise as a whole, and the previews so far have looked promising. Love pretty much most games in this sub genre anyways (L4D and World War Z) and even enjoyed the recent B4B beta so I've got high hopes this will be decent as well, it's just a shame it lacks crossplay.
