CVG: Aliens: Colonial Marines has been one of those unstable titles in the sense that, for a long time, we weren't sure the FPS would ever see the light of day. On track one minute, canned the next, it was hard not get bogged down in all the rumour and just give up hope entirely.
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.
I would love to see some gameplay.
Hope it is true to the 2 first movies which were really good.
Dont give us dumb underpowered xenomorphs like in Rebellions AVP (2010).
I remember when one alien scared the living shit out of me. When there was more then one I feared going to the hospital.
Now with AvP films and the resulting games, I could not give a care about this series. I have really become distant about the scare factor of the Xeno's after the first film then the hive and resulting mass of them.
Give me a game where I shit my pants, not a game where, killing Aliens is just another day.
Can't wait!
