So, I have a few questions:
1) Do you played WWZ?
2) If so, then why you skip AFE?
3) Only gameplay is important for you, not setting?
4) Do you really prefer to play a generic zombie game over Alien?
5) Why even do you marked a game with a similar mechanic as a clone?
6) Do you know how genres and subgenres works?
7) Tell me one reason to play another shooter instead of OG Doom, or another RTS instead of Dune, or another souls-like instead of DS, etc.
For your knowledge: a similar people called Alien: Isolation as a clone of Outlast and asked - why should I play the Outlast clone? And these were the (pseudo) Alien fans!
1. Yes, it was fun for a couple of hours.
2. Because xenomorphs shouldn't be compared to zombies. Zombies are braindead and the aliens seem to be aswell in AFE.
3. Of course, but if the title enemy which I grew up admiring is presented as a mindless and weak zombie then the background isn't going to help.
4. No but AFE will be a mindless generic zombie shooter with an aliens skin with a 5 hour campaign running from A to B holding down Mouse 1.
5. Because it's basically the same game with different skin.
6. Yes.
7. This question is so weird. There are a lot of Doom clones out there. But there's also amazing games that all originate from those originals, such as Half-Life. Wouldn't call that a Doom clone.
How can you not be disappointed that this is what we get after the most immersive, intense and impressive alien game ever made? To go from a highly intelligent xeno that stalks you to mindless drones just charging at you in wide open areas. This is going to be a very linear, mindless and short game with zero of the tension from the previous title.
