Swanny there is not enough people that use these gaming forums apart from yourself and about half a dozen hardcore.......................

Trade in prices are pretty good for the first month then they take a dip,something like Deux will get you around £25 which is a loss of £15 granted but the new game hopefully more to my liking would then cost just £15.

Have to go with what i know and stop buying games that really i dont really like but im tempted when they get fantastic reviews like Deux did.

Whenever there is a game made from a film Franchise then be Afraid be very Afraid as in space everybody gets ripped of.

Apart from Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 most films turned into games turn out to be utter Garbage but sell based on the people that loved the films.

I looked at this a while back and on closer inspection it looks pretty [censored] to me mate with outdated graphics for starters.

This looks like it could buck that trend?

I think this looks good enough for my taste. FPS with horror element and 4 player co-op?

Gimme gimme gimme!

Hahaha. Love the quote from T2D about film franchises turned into games. Classic!

Have yet to follow your link mrnelster. Shall do so accordingly... and let u know what I think.

If you listen to Randy speak, it'll turn you off any game he's involved with. Honestly do yourself a favour and ignore this rubbish.

P.s Opposing Force was a fluke.

I had to Squint to see it in widescreen,my god its gearbox software alarm bells ringing Puke Nukem Forever.

I would love to back you up my matey mrnelster but this game is bargain bin material day one.

I agree about Randy. His voice gave me the creeps. [Shudder]

In all likelihood it will be rubbish. But it looks okay just from that short segment. I expect it'll be fated for the bargain bin on day 1, as T2D says tho.

But it's ALIENS!!!!!!!

The first two Alien films were some of the best fright films l I've ever watched. Why cant somebody make a decent game out of them?

And I didn't think the graphics looked that bad (that was on my titchy iPhone screen mind).
.

Remember that last Alien Game which had predators in it about 18 months ago,even that was absolute trash.

I dont know what it is about Films been turned into games that never seem to be any good,i think the developers think hey look how many people went to see this film and the massive box office takings lets make a game about it .

Just take a look at films that have transferred to games and you will see its not very endearing and apart from Goldeneye all those years back i struggle to see another decent one.


I love the Alien films and have watched them so many times i could probably read out the script from start to finish and its a mystery why a decent developer can not make a class Film into a really good game.

My theory about movie to game conversions and why they are almost always bad used to be down to two things: cashing in with little concern about quality of product because they know enough people will buy it from the name but also due to extremely high royalty payments, meaning there's not enough cash left to develop a decent game based on the movie, so even if publishers cared about producing a decent product they were already hamstrung by lack of funds. See?

I formulated this theory at a tender young age (of around 11yo) whilst playing numerous shoddy quality games from films for the ZX Spectrum. Pap then. Pap now. It'd be nice to see a good Aliens game break the mold though.
