Xenomorph - The Hive

OK, and I don't really know which one I'm talking about its the most recent AVP game that came out.

Xenomorph - The Hive

@DrDiabloSatan: Aliens:Colonial Marines will not be set in the AVP universe and will instead be set in the Aliens universe, where the Xenomorphs are the sole enemy, showing off an even more deadly side as they continue to pose an incredible threat to Humanity.

With no Predators to drop in and destroy their infestation at any random point, the story should (unless it is seen fit to add a PredAlien or two) just be about the Xenomorphs and the Colonial Marines, who are unfortunate enough to run into them.



I'm sad to say that it looks as though we will have to wait until sometime in Autumn, 2012 for the release, I'm going to repost the link to the official site here as the old one seems to no longer work.

EDIT:

"Loadouts and upgrades, Create your perfect killing machine. An extensive upgrade system allows players to customise their characters to play the way they want. Earn experience to get perks, new weapons and new looks for your squad."

Looks like there will be a chance for character loadouts, SHOTGUN!

 

To preserve the Hive, whatever the cost, whatever required.

Xenomorph

As much as I love the look of this game, and am excited we finally get a breakaway game that focuses on the Alien franchise alone, i'm beginning to think 'boycott' seeing as they keep shifting the release dates, which is highly frustrating seeing as the game was in development hell for a good few years after they originally announced it - now it gets close to hitting the stores and they shelve it again.

ENOUGH!!!

Xenomorph - The Hive

It's kinda shocking with the release date being delayed, again, but it's something I'd expect from a company that says it going "all out" with the project, though you'd think since this game has been in the works since 2001 (true story) that there would be enough of it to actually launch (it just makes me wonder what the hell has been created in over a decade).

But that's an issue of copyright and self investment, no company will share with another, unless they do a collaborative project or are impeded to do so.

It spells incompetence, for the many companies that have passed this mantle of a game, I hope Gearbox can do it justice.

Human - Alpha Draconis

So, it's actually possible to play as Aliens in MP.

Good decision i'd say. I've also read (not in this article) they mostly dropped the tactical/squad aspect of the game, mostly. Anyway, a straight forward horror game is still a nice thing to have, and coop remains intact...

I'm truly surprised that AVP3 didn't kill the game franchise. It was that bad, at least the MP was. I remember logging on and there being less than 10 people on the entire server.
