New Alien First Person Shooter in development @ Cold Iron Studios

[Still Collating...]

Agreed. A:CM's multiplayer had a lot of nice ideas, just horrible implementation.

[Corporal Hicks]

I really hope the motion tracker is a separate tool like it was in ACM and not part of the hud.

Agreed. One of the best things that game did.

[The Old One]

One of a sparse number.

[Corporal Hicks]

Yeah. I'll give it actual player/weapon customisation (but so f**king shallow) and the motion tracker off the HUD mechanic. And the expanded Sulaco level design.

[TheSailingRabbit]

I'll be real, I became less excited for this thing upon learning it's tying into . . . Echo? Really? I don't like being a downer, but I would rather see an original story rather than a tie-in to a mediocre YA novel.

Until I hear something about multiplayer character customization options being phenomenal, I might skip this one.

[JokersWarPig]

I thought it was a tie in to the new comics?

[The Old One]

It's been nearly ten years since the last decent Alien FPS, I'm hoping it's good.

I don't see why anyone's put off by them including one character from Echo, probably not in a major role, and yes it is tying into the recent comic series ACM Rising Threat.

I wouldn't call it mediocre. It was actually pretty solid.

[Vrastal]

I really hope we can play as the alien and get some awesome alien customization

[Still Collating...]

Yeah, I'm dying for a new Marine vs Alien multiplayer FPS. I also really hope we get to be an alien again. AVP aliens were fun and interesting. A:CM's aliens had conceptually more depth to them, but played awful. If we can play as an alien in this one, it'll be an instant buy for me.

[Vrastal]

I didnt like 2010 avp game play all that much. And hope we can see a blend of avp2 and acm alien gameplay

[Monster Man]

I really hope the motion tracker is a separate tool like it was in ACM and not part of the hud.

I love it when aspect of your HUD is implemented into the tools around your character and not just a static thing on screen. Dead Space did a wonderful job with this.

However I hate how ACM's motion tracker differentiated between friend and foe. Ruins tension.

[The Old One]

Agreed.

[JokersWarPig]

If this game has the motion tracker mechanic (minus the Friend/Foe markers) and could capture the tension of AVP2010's Infestation mode, I think we'd have a real winner.

[The1PerfectOrganism]

Yes please.
