    I'm not that impressed tbh. Single player looks more fun.

    Pissweak, slow aliens.
    A puny human knocking an alien back with a pistol-whip.
    Motion scanner that differentiates betwen friend and foe.
    Scripted cinematic kill sequences in multiplayer, during which the killer is invincible.

    I have no interest in this whatsoever.

    Why? It looks exactly like they had a good game with solid concepts, and then fed it through the Mainstream-o-Matic machine and ended up with something that looks incredibly forgettable due to how dumbed-down and EZ-mode it ended up being.

    Also let's see the game after the ###### that comprise multiplayer gamers get it and adjust the gamma up so high that it's like playing on the surface of the sun.

    Let me add:
    49 bullets Pulse Rifle
    Pulse Rifle also sounds WRONG

    Would *someone* please think of the pulse rifle?

    Yea, it feels like they wanted something thriller-like/keep you on your toes but action-packed. I feel like if they would have stuck with one or the other it would have been good. The video feels boring to me.

    While the complaints are definitely valid the thing that stuck out most to me was the marine taking a claw to the face and not dying. In the original AvP you could run through a crowd of marines and leave a pile of body parts in your wake and it was fun whether I was marine or alien.

    It kinda reminds me of how In AvP2 they decided to 'fix' that and it just killed the aliens dead both in a sense of fun and in being able to score respectably. I'd usually be top alien scorer on most of the servers and still be in the bottom half unless the other players were genuinely terrible, but when I switched to marine and just ran around spamming grenades at my feet while running a route through the health and armour packs I'd top them without even trying: it was usually a race with my flatmate to see who could rack up the most obscene score possible via the power of being rock hard and dealing explosive death to everyone in the vicinity. That just isn't scary nor did it have much long-lasting appeal to me.

    As for the Colonial vid, it looks like the AvP reboot to me minus predators and we all know how good that was :P
    Hopefully the coop is good though to make up for it :3

    Agreed. It's like a lightsaber not killing someone instantly (looking at you SW:TOR). It's really lame.

    When you build on a franchise like this certain things are supposed to be extremely powerful. If an alien is up close, you don't live.

    This video seems terribly boring. The game play seems far to slow and stale. Not to mention the aliens seem squish squish :[

    It's as I feared. When I saw those custom weapons I wondered if they spent more times customizing weapons/armor than on gameplay. Now that I see this I wonder if they'll have more micro transactions in game with this ridiculous stuff. Oh well

    I... what... is this trailer a persiflage or do they actually mean all that...? I must say: I'm speechless, never heard worse voice-overs in my life. Everything about this trailor seems wrong, the pacing, the music, the "tension" the badassery,. So hollow. Oh Lord, this could have been worth it's while, but this made me throw up a little.

    The walk-through trailer Randy pitchford did last year made this game look awesome but the more trailers I see the less I want it...

    Its like the appearance of quality (graphics / animation etc) degrades with each video.

    Also regarding the VO in the trailers one of the dev's has stated on twitter that it was put together by SEGA's for the trailer and that it won't feature in the game.

    That said I'll still buy it because I'm weak.

    Saw an add for this game on television today and laughed a bit.
    Then I cried because I realized no matter how bad, it will still sell more copies than NS2 simply because of advertising.

    Aw man I was gonna use a coupon to bring the pre order price to $30 and was going to cash out until I saw this

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/224840/

    Seriously? What the crap is this? I fell for that trick for BL2 and will not fall for it again. I still can't believe I paid up front for DLC without even getting an idea of the quality because I trusted Gearbox. Anything Gearbox touches is a mess now. Season pass my ass and get this:

    "The Aliens: Colonial Marines Season Pass will give you access to campaign content, additional multiplayer maps, new modes, character customisation and more! "

    Yea way to split the community on a game that we do not even know will be popular with overpriced content that should be free! I doubt they even care much about the franchise or maybe Sega is pressuring for this to make cash?

    Their forums are pretty silent as well when it comes to dev response on the game. Like pages of people signing and asking for dedicated servers but no answer so they definitely have no plans for dedicated servers either. I can see this game dying within a year. Raging pretty hard right now.
