Watch your language.

:laugh:


What are we supposed to use, man?

Well a shotgun would be useful for close encounters  :laugh:

but harsh language said in certain ways can be rude and disrespectful.

No matter how strong aliens are they still feel pain and are susceptible to physical force, so a healthy strong marine wacking them with all their strength with a solid object like a gun that probably weighs a good few pounds is obviously going to knock them back and if they lose their balance, then they are going to fall. simple physics.

Now if the alien and the marine was in a hand to hand fight, then its would in the aliens favour by a certain percentage, the alien would obviously be physically stronger and faster, can hit harder and take punches and attacks easier but in terms of physical force, they can be staggered and so long as a marine doesn't wrestle i.e grabbing and getting too close to the alien (like Dillion and Parker did) they could possibly beat an alien, all they would have to do is use strong kicks, punches and evasive tactics to outmanoeuvre their attacks.

Just watch the movies before you post such nonsense bullshit...

Watch your language. I have seen the movies and every time a human got too close to an alien such as the use of grappling, they die. if they used proper hand-to-hand tactics then they may have had a chance no matter how small.

Was just playing ALIEN TRILOGY from the original PlayStation on the PS3, and came across this. I thought it looked so funny and shows how far graphics have come. It's the Space Jockey from the original ALIEN. HaHa.


Let's hope the game is this awesome.

There needs to be enough of a melee system so that you this scenario takes place.
Xenos Jumps rights in front of Player.
A) Run away (Let others deal with it, but you can't outrun a Xeno)
B) Shoot (And get Acid Shower)
C) Shove Xeno  (Basically pushing its head to the side, more of a distraction then actually shoving the Xeno)
   a) Run back enough to safely shoot.
   b) Run back so others have a clear shot.
   c) Shoot and either get an acid shower or just take some acid damage.

Or let's not have a melee combat system. If an Alien is near you, you need to run for your lives. Like in AvP2.

This is how I would vote.  Realism, or the commitment to making things as realistic as possible, has been a strong theme in the Alien movies.  The more realistic the game, for the Aliens universe, the better it's going to be!

realism equals immersion.

you cannot have an aliens game without immersion. it's all about being on the spot, feeling the dread echoing through the corridors.

the minimalistic HUD reflects that it's what they want to do.

Its a video game based around a fictional movie guys, and your talking about realism. On the other hand, I highly doubt gearbox will make the same mistake rebellion did and give you the ability to knock down an Alien by simply hitting it with your rifle. The melee system will probably be for use against human enemies.

Not necessarily - if it's anything like AvP:Poo the Aliens would have the advantage of you not seeing them coming.  Or indeed anything else at all.
The game's not gonna be pitch black. Only pitch black things are gonna be mildly pitch black.
