EDGE: "In a way, it’s an unfair question: the licence dictates everything, including weapon balance, enemy movement speed and level design, and by committing to authenticity Gearbox leaves itself little room for experimentation. But there the question lingers. After such a long spell in development, and such an ardent focus on fan service, is Colonial Marines really a game, or a movie set tour? Burleson replies with a smile: 'It has aliens in it.'"
Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.
The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.
The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Player 2 takes some quiet time to look back at some of the most hyped failures of the past 10 years.
Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.
Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.
Thanks to a bustling mod community on Steam, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines actually has a stellar multiplayer experience to offer these days.
Hmmm. Raises doubts on an otherwise exciting looking game.
True they are getting very tiring with the whole "stick to cannon ordeal". However, the fan in me admits that im going into this game with my eyes closed. The place SHOULD have been blown to shreds, there SHOULDN'T be any survivors from the 1st group and the Suloco WAS over the orbit of FURY, not LV-426.
You know what though...i don't care! I don't care how they explain all this stuff as long as they do in the game as i play. The only two words that matter before I get this in Feb is "Surprise me". There is no doubt raised in my mind or anything thing like that. Make me jump, make me smile make me cringe, make me sigh during game play....
SURPRISE ME... that's what everyone is paying for.
The gameplay shown so far has been very abysmal looking. It looks great and is authentic sure, but the gunplay and combat look very bad.
Enemy's and Ai are particularly bad.
Good Alien gameplay http://www.youtube.com/watc...
