I mean....you know.....well....in theory if it had pacing that...ok so yeah Aliens Colonial Marines had a lot of problems which...and...well the thing that worked about about Alien Isolation...what I'm really trying to say...........so look if this game can....
Meh nevermind. I'm too cynical to pull together a coherent thought...but if...
I think what you're trying to say is that the game needs quiet moments punctuated by angry waves of aliens for it to work, similar to the film. And I would agree with that. I don't think they can afford not to deliver an aliens game after colonial marines.
Some things of interest from the steam store: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1549970/Aliens_Fireteam/
- cooperative third-person survival shooter, in squads of 3, either coop or with AI
- a series of replayable campaigns that evoke and expand upon the blockbuster films
- face overwhelming odds against over 20 enemy types, including 11 different Xenomorphs along the evolutionary scale from Facehuggers to Praetorians
- choose from five unique classes - Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc and Recon - each with their own special abilities and character perks. Utilize an extensive arsenal of 30+ weapons and 70+ mods/attachments in your effort to eradicate the Alien threat. An innovative Perk Board modifies and improves your abilities, while a unique Challenge Card system alters the approach to each Campaign mission, offering a new experience with every playthrough
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I hope that's not locked down. My usual 4-player coop group would eat this up.
We'll see...
One of the most abused franchises of all time. Has there ever actually been a good Aliens game?

The original Aliens vs. Predator (2000), and to a lesser extent Aliens versus Predator 2 (2001) were fine video games for their era.
Also, Alien Isolation is a fantastic game, probably one of the scariest games I've ever played, and it looks damn amazing, I think @PogoP worked on it, if I'm not mistaken.

I thought that game looked great, but didn't enjoy the gameplay one bit. I would have liked a photo mode...

It's a pure stealth game, if you're not into that genre, it's deffo not the game for you.
i get it, but don't put that in a trailer -_-
Looks like a good seven, seven and a half... ?
I’m surprised to see this pushed through after every chance of proper sequels were squashed, and Ridley effing up the prequels.
I’m the sense that fans are interested, but I wonder how much interest this generates in new gamers that are too young to be into the franchise like we are.

Fuck em let them play their fortnites I want a good Aliens game, waited long enough now 
Alright, let's check this out:
Seems like they nailed the pacing, quiet moments to let players prepare and more chaotic ones with special infected in the mix. Three moments I liked in particular where the one with the aliens that dropped from a vent on top of them, when the stalking alien attacked and retreated and the elevator bit. Classic moments adapted pretty well. Like, it genuinely seems like a solid foundation to expand on with post launch content.
One thing that raised some red flags is that they seemed worried about the amount of content they have in, 4 campaign in total, and they avoided answering if a campaign takes around an hour to complete. I mean, I would definitely expect something very similar to a l4d campaign.
But it seems like it might be a fun coop shooter in the aliens universe. It's definitely not a horror experience, but at this point.. just give me something, anything! 
That looks a lot better than the trailer.
Apart from the 3rd person animations looking super stiff and that annoying interview guy it looks pretty good

I only watched a few minutes, but I found funny when the journo asks a question quite at the start, and the dev completely ignores him. Uncomfortable silence and then picks up from his script. Bless them.
Off Topic: Are game journalists relevant anymore? Were they ever relevant bar a few individuals? Youtubers and Streamers are where people go to get an a real opinion on X these days.
