The 'turret' scene of Cameron's movie is fantastic. The video didn't do it for me. I think the difference is that the protagonists didn't actually sit at the turrets and shoot aliens alongside it. They were in the command centre (correct spelling!) watching the ammunition dwindle down to (practically) nothing. As an audience, you knew that the turrets were going to be the most accurate & lethal device they could deploy save a nuke, and yet the xenos almost made it through. Personally think I would enjoy a 'commanding' style gameplay in that scene a lot better than simply shooting alongside the turrets. But that's just me.

Having APCs & powerloaders in the same room is a bit too cheesy to me... I smelt a setpiece a mile away...

The rhino alien is kinda cool - although they will only appear in setpieces. Lighting was just about right, and their mapmaking looks fantastic - I'm not 100% sold on the actual graphics however. Animations will be improved upon I hope! Drones didn't feel all that lethal in the video - there was a point where the player ignored being slashed at by a drone to help clear the powerloader... not cool. The marines gestures & mannerisms sounded 'modern' to me. Not cool 80s stereotypical like I would have expected

Overall - not sure I'll get it unless the reviews are positive...

Previous AvP game lasted all but a month in multiplayer front. Which is pathetic. Something tells me it will be exactly same.

What killed the multiplayer in that one is the fact that the game came with only 2 MP maps and additional MP maps could only be acquired by buying DLC's. The "special" kill moves were also overused way too much and it made the gameplay stale after a while. By comparison, AvsP 2 by Monolith was very active online for several years after release.

Yea because of the alien lifecycle. Fighting against facehuggers or as a facehugger was awesome and scary.

Yup, it was actually quite easy to facehug opponents since the facehugger is so small and fast. The difficult part was surviving as a chestburster after you turned into one!

i said on youtube,but i will post here as well, what they should do with alien franchise is left 4 deadcize it, make it so you are trying to survive against odds,but it is unsure you will get to the end, mix AI and player controled aliens to cause unpredictability and you have a great game.

I'm just psyched that it is first person. The over the shoulder crap is really weak.

I'd rather be able to select third person view. I don't like first person. It makes me carsick.
