Aliens: Fireteam

[Evert]

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.

Well, depends on your perspective; I'd say instead that journalism as a concept is simply shifting into a different medium

The character models bug me. They look like they are from Call of Duty.

It is me or the new Alien game give me that vibes from the dissapointed fps Alien

[-HP-]

The game looks straight out of 2007.

But hey, the gameplay actually looks like it might be fun.

I personally still prefer to read games journalism than watch/listen. I've come across very few streamers who aren't annoying a/f. Most of them seem completely unwilling to actually script their content in advance or edit down their resulting jibberish before uploading. It's also easier to read discreetly during work hours.

I just look at the steam rating nowadays, it hardly ever gets it wrong.

Ye everybody saying that long form is the new standard and what people want… but if is all you offer then people don’t really have a choice.

What do you read these days? Every game mag or journo is on a wokeness path that obfuscates the content you really interested in.

To decide what I’ll buy/play I’ve been basing my judgment on gameplay extracts most of all for the last 15 years. I know nowadays they fudge these presentations more and more, but I haven’t been really disappointed since the original Prey. And I have so much back catalog that I only buy during sales, so there isn’t much to complain even if I at some point stumble on a bad title.

So we go from a single Alien is the world's most intelligent, deadly prey that makes you feel like a powerless n00b and ragequit after five seconds in Alien: Isolation, to shooting down waves of mindless Alien hordes and getting bored after five seconds in this game.

How about just a moderately paced, narrative singleplayer game in the Alien universe. They clearly have no idea wtf to do with this IP other than run it into the fucking ground.

I mean, that's what the sequel was about.

This is where FMPONE says he doesn't like Aliens or something...
