From Xbox Wire: "I grew up in a house that let me watch R-rated sci-fi and horror movies as a kid. The ‘80s, as you’re likely aware, had a handful of now-iconic films that were definitely not for kids, but still found a way to market to them and my parents were totally down for it (I had the ED-209 toy from “Robocop” and the sandworm from “Dune” to name a few). Like those films, including “The Terminator” and “Predator,” they all left quite an impression on my youth (which explains… a lot)."

Yea regardless im getting the game cause im a die hard alien fan. Im one of the few who actually enjoyed alien colonial marines after I heavily modded it.
Its looking very good do far. As an Alien fan I can't wait to play this with my brother. Pre-ordered and ready to go
MP1st has played 10 hours of Aliens Fireteam Elite, and here's everything they learned about the game.
Yep. It looks better. I thought it would be janky but most previews have been very positive so far.
I was kinda skeptical at first given the Alien game track record and, I have to say, am pleasantly surprised at what has been coming out. L4D is a great influence for this type of game.
It's just too bad it doesn't take even more influence from L4D and have a pvp mode where the enemy team is made up of aliens. There's been some good mp avp games in the past buy none have ever totally nailed it.
Always gotta make the aliens the bad guys.. The humans are the real villians. Why can't we play as Alien xenomorphs ripping apart those pesky humans to pieces
You can play as alien (and predator too) in quite a few Alien vs Predator games and they're actually fun
But, sadly, usually you can't get to the real villans (the one pulling the strings and trying to use aliens for their personal gain)
The Xenomorph aliens in all the universe have never faced a real challenge..the Ghostbusters. Egon Spengler vs the alien queen
Then that would make you the bad guys.
I don't know how you can call Aliens the good guys, they tear everything apart and are hardly known for making love to each other lol.
Point blank Aliens are a species that kill and while us humans are similar we do have a loving side unlike Aliens.
COG writes: Titles like Alien vs. Predator allow you to take the role of Xenomorphs whilst Alien Isolation positioned you at the opposite end, trying to avoid the beast. Looking to put teamwork at the helm, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a co-op shooter but will it capture the atmosphere of the incredible franchise?
The only thing that has my full attention for pure multiplayer fun is S&box and possibly Back 4 Blood if the beta is good. But this seems a little meh
yhea also waiting for Back 4 Blood. wich they know the hard task they put on themselves considering it will be compared to left 4 dead for obvious reasons. I mean you have world war Z but that one didn't really fill that left 4 dead void. still hope Aliens will be a great game for the people that want it. but personally, I think/hope Back 4 blood will be better.

Same as although in my case it was because I knew how to operate and sort issues with the VCR.
