    hard decision i know u already know that DS and GTA is awesome but....u already played them u know they are the "same"
    but ACM is something new but u cant be sure is it any good


    this story will end up like "its worse then avp2010" :P

    well at least we can visit the sulaco, hadley, derelict and even more :) this is what this game is all about
    That's just like saying any third person game is the same. I could say that A:CM will be Call of Duty in Space.

    I think its more likely to be a GBX error of making him Lt at first but later on finding out that there's a higher ranked char who is getting orders from Cruz so they decided to promote Cruz instead of demoting the other char. No matter whats the case, I don't care much since Cruz is going to die  :laugh:

    I apologize in advance for going off topic but since I went trough a couple statements concerning the cannon I had to get involved. I for one love the Alien quadrilogy+Predator1/2 (with a few nitpicks here and there), consider the first AvP movie as generic at best, dismiss the existence of the sequel which is an abomination, feel disappointed by Prometheus and find Predators for a descent but unmemorable feature. I can't comment on any other source material like the Dark Horse comic series or any AvP/Alien based literature.

    to me if it tells a great story worth telling then it doesn't break canon. But if Ripley shows up some where....well. It be broke son.
    I'm almost 100% sure that Ripley won't be in this game.

    The fact you had to say "almost" speaks volumes about how much faith there is in Gearbox's story writing abilities.  ;D
    Well... You never know  ;D

    You bet your ass she will during the mission briefing when they show pictures of all the people they're supposed to either find or confirm dead.
    I didn't mean like that.

    I sure hope the pictures, if there's even any, are actual photographs taken of the actors in the movie, if there's leftover still photos or promo shots or whatever, Gearbox should use them.

    They don't have to show a picture. But you can be sure that if they do its not going to look a thing like Suguarny (spll)

    Only if you're comic book + EU obssessed fratboy...
    I... I don't even know how to respond to that, it's so nonsensical.

    Quote from: SM on Jan 07, 2013, 12:23:44 PM
    QuoteTrue. But still...you have this unrelenting knowledge of knowing that no matter how much you say "I don't believe this happened", it WILL be part of the whole official...Canon...frag that word.

    And some claim that Fox says ALL EU is canon, despite endless irreconcilable conflicts.

    Realistically no one will ever consult this game when developing any future Alien flicks after it's already conflicting with Alien3, Resurrection and the film it's entirely spawned from.  ;D
    S'okay, that doesn't mean anything anyway. :)

    In a franchise where fans freely choose to exclude films - ie. the core source material - from canon, many won't pay the slightest attention to the half arsed nonsense of video game developers, who themselves also exclude source material.
    This.

    If Hicks is alive, then those bastards at Gearbox are just pissing on a great character, even more so than his death- at the beginning of Alien³.  :-\
    So do you want him alive or dead?

    *Slams fist on table* DEAD! It's an insult to magically bring him back in some badly written M. Night Shyamalan Plot-twist.  :(
    It's just a game though so it doesn't really matter.

    It does when some -arsehole game developers- who are so far up their own arses- gets the right to mark it as Canon- hate that frakking word!
    It doesn't matter what they say since they're not the ones who decide cannon

    Not a graphics whore, but I wish they game looked at least on par with AvP2010. It looks like a PS2 game. I pray the graphics are tighter when the game drops, it won't be as immersive otherwise.

    If the gameplay is solid and fun though, I'll forgive the graphics. But hopefully I can have my cake and eat it too.

    If you think that those appear like PS2 graphics, I believe you need to get new glasses.

    Or you had an amazing PS2

    I personally think the trailer itself looks badass, been watching so much mp footage almost forgot there was a story here lol. The graphics look alright to me, once you get it home and play on your HD 1080p tv its gonna look awesome. I also love the fact they got the original actors to lend their voices to the game. The whole hicks being alive thing dosen't bother me so much, I was pissed that fincher killed him in the 3rd movie to begin with. So if he is still alive then this is a love letter to the fans but this is just my opinion.
  19. Xenomrph
    To be fair graphics aren't the be-all end-all -- I love the old AvP PC game to death and find it immersive and tense as hell, and it's pretty lacking in the graphics department by modern standards.

    Then again I also play Wolfenstein3D regularly and still have fun with it, so your mileage may vary I guess.

    QuoteNot entirely.  He could be assuming that they weren't going to make it and that he was going to die in the explosion if he sent it while Ripley was running off to save Newt. 

    Possibly.  The background of the shot still doesn't look like the dropship though.

    But as per previous posts, this proves nothing considering how "authentic" other aspects are.

    We'll know soon enough.

    QuoteHa!  I kind of just want to play the game to see how they answer these questions, although I'm not expecting anything rational or logical by any means.

    I just want to shoot Aliens.  The story is a load of shit.
