25 minutes of gameplay is more than enough to get a general idea about any game. They basicaly showed the core gameplay and main objectives. This game will need a lot of free and paid DLC, including movie maps , weapons , characters and customization.

Yeah, and it's looking great IMO. Which is why so many people are on board. It's a L4D-like, essentially. With extra content. So if you loved the L4D series or Vermintide series (or anything in-between), then this is up your alley. It's taking those concepts, adding the Alien IP, as well as other gameplay changes and mechanics. That's really it. Will it? We don't even have all of that information yet. We pretty much know the bare minimum at this point. But what they've told us already is more than enough for the fans of games I mentioned above.

The X's they show is absolutely terrible.


Also, no welding doors shut?

I believe that's when the smart gun isn't able to use auto-aim, but yeah, it is a bit distracting. Especially in third person. Maybe they'll adjust them, I'm sure there will be feedback.

They haven't discussed that yet. Hopefully! If anything maybe there are objectives that revolve around that.

 

[Gatox]

Looks a good blast, just a bit disappointed there's no scanner sound.

 

[N30RYU]

There should be a class specified with the scanner to pinpoint enemies approaching locations.

I don't like every class to have a scanner

Perhaps there is. But it was too loud to hear it through conversation and other sounds.

This game has a single player mode as well. Thus if they made it the way you want there is no proper way that bots can inform you about Aliens' positions. Not to mention you need to cooperatively cover your backs.

 

[mansoor1980]

looks decent enough but should have been first person

 

[IbizaPocholo]

This is a world war z game but with aliens. I'm ok with this but i want a sequel of isolation.

As simple as the scanner goes randomly to one of the players not being controlled by bots

Then it destroys your idea about classes. Also how other players are going to cooperate without knowing positions of incoming Aliens if a motion tracker operator is busy killing a swarm in the front of them?

Doesn't look scary at all. Aliens wasn't a power fantasy

A horror element is always lost quickly when you play such games cooperatively.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Looks incredibly boring.....the choice of third person perspective is a baffling decision if this footage really represents the entire game.

Wow that looked sooo super scary and intense !! LOL

Shit looks ike it would get boring in a matter of minutes.

 

[wipeout364]

This would be a cool game to make a roguelike out of it. One life but you can keep XP and weapons you unlock, and give the characters abilities/stats to level up. The rogue like element would work really well with the horror concept, sort of like a much more complicated and lengthy COD zombies.

Watched some more clips, the X appears over all enemies that die.

What a poor design choice, what kind of designer would think of this? Also "you can probably turn it off" is not a good argument, as keeping it on would give players an advantage.
In general, the HUD display is way too overwhelming, too much stuff on screen.

X is a part of augmented reality. Without it, it would be more chaotic and less playable as proper contrasts are not there.

In other worlds too much realistic games with many details require this type of solutions.

If it moves, shoot it, not that hard.

 

[N30RYU]

Agree also I don't like the white contrast shape they give to the aliens so you can "see" them better in the dark or in big groups.

Let's hope you can turn off all that nonsense bullshit and keep the HUD at minimum... they end up implementing crossplay and give the game a Predator Hunting Grounds like price point of $40.

I doubt that your sight is so good to recognize that a particular Xeno is already in death convulsion animation in chaos of action.

There is nothing nonsensical about it. This is a cost of more realistic and detailed graphics. A human perception is not that good as you think.

Not even going to watch that but as a reply to that title/thumbnail:

Some times people just want a no-nonsense co-op experience without any intricate or deep systems that take ages to learn. I know that might come as a shock to all you hardcore pro gamers out there but it's true. In some cases people just want to have a chill time with friends *wow* imagine that.

Yep, an arcadey gameplay. Easy to pick up and perhaps hard to master. Nothing else.

Exactly. The cherry on top here being we get a co-op game set in the Alien universe again. What's not to like!

lol IGN with that dig against Isolation at the start.
They are never going to live down that review.

 

[skit_data]

The HUD is too cramped and the animations of the xenos feel off...Idk maybe I just want an updated version of the original AVP or AVP2 and refuse to embrace some gaming trends

 

[JoduanER2]

Looks horrible, uninspired and monotonous. Hard pass.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

LOL people are hyped for this? I'd rather play the L4D3 game that got delayed.

and i will minigun your avatar xenoscum

no joke as a huge alien fan not a big fan of IGN i completely agree with their view on alien isolation.. it was an absolute shitfest way way waaaay too long. and the AI was fake af

 

[R6Rider]

Yeah, I've watched more video about it and it's not for me. I'd much rather have a first person game without co-op or waves of enemies.

 

[molasar]

I am excited about it. And I am glad that it is not another walking simulator with cinematic experience.

But do not worry. You boys and girls will get another one at some point as well.

Same. I just want a decent/good/great colonial marines experience, so sue me. Like I've said before, this style of shooter has always made sense for the universe. ESPECIALLY as colonial marines.

I just really wish it was FPS, or there was a FPS/TPS toggle.
