NE:
Aliens games do not have to suck. Here are 5 developers who would probably do the franchise justice.
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Say what you like, but virtual farming is big business. And that means the release of Farm Tycoon onto the Xbox ecosystem should appeal.
Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?
Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.
Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.
I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.
Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
Gearbox looked like they were making a really good Aliens game, then they started lying to Sega and outsourcing the development. I'm so glad their eating crow right now, hopefully it stops anyone else for trying to screw people over like this.
OT: I actually like that list. Platinum Games really let me down with MG:R. I really liked the pick of Playdead, you know they'd do something really cool.
Eidos (Deus Ex HR) would make a very atmospheric Aliens game, as would 4A Games (Metro 2033). Or imagine an Irrational Games developed Aliens game. Basically Bioshock in space...with Xenomorphs instead of Big Daddys :D
Although, at this point, I suggest giving Rebellion another go at making a sequel to their imo great AvP game. Cant be any worse than CM
I agree Eidos, io interactive makers also hitman great engine
Hmm might as well hand it over to Visceral games since they have plenty of experience with these types of games.
Valve is an interesting concept. How about Epic? A gears of war- like Aliens game could be amazing but perhaps FPS is the way to go? - in which case maybe Crytek??
