Was hoping for kenner toys skins or at least skins based on comic books or expanded universe. We have just gotten a bunch of generic crap that could be from any free to play fortnite style game , with barest relation to aliens as a whole. It just seems like its been a massive failure of imagination and effort.
I love the base game dont get me wrong but man unless theres a hefty chunk of campaign content coming its easily the worst season pass I have personally brought.
I do hope the game has a better fate than Predator: Hunting Grounds
And there's me totally satisfied I've got an APE suit...
Speaking of, did anyone actually find those "synth shades" the devs mentioned were in there just prior to release? I don't think I ever actually saw them anywhere.
The Kenner Bishop ones? I'd forgot about those! Don't think I've seen them mentioned!
Yep, it was from this "IGN First" article from last year, before the game came out: https://www.ign.com/articles/how-aliens-fireteam-fits-into-the-alien-universeincluding-prometheus-and-covenant-ign-first
Quote from: IGNIn space, no one can enforce your dress code, so expect plenty of customization. "You'll be able to wear your cowboy hat, or your classic colonial marine helmet, or awesome synth sunglasses," Highison tells us.
But I don't think they're actually in there, at least not that I've ever seen.
Gotta disagree there. As the Corporal says, "Never go full Kenner."

Go Kenner all you want for the Marines, just not the Aliens.

I feel like the Prowler is already in the vein of the less outrageous Kenner figures, honestly.
In all fairness, just the visor isn't going full Kenner. Partial Kenner is acceptable.
I've got my classic skins for my marine days and the ape suit for my WeYu Merc days so I'm happy. We've gotten a lot more in the way of skins than I thought we would, so who knows what we'll get next.

Oh yeah partial Kenner is great, just not full Kenner.
I would buy the crap out of "Kenner Presents: Aliens - Full Kenner". Nothing but flying queens, rhinos, snake Aliens and synth shade-wearing Bishop all the way!

Gimme my bloody sunglasses!
Gimme an AJAX outfit.

It is a bit of a strange season pass. On one hand it's great game altering content such as new kits are free for all on the other the cosmetics didn't add too much. It's also strange how the weapon colours can be over the top and crazy like dragonfruit etc but the actual player skins are more gtounded in universe. Would be nice to have some crazy outfits to match the weapon colours.
That's a good season pass then, not required, but ultimately worth it and keeps the crazy to the gun skins you can imagine Marines modifying or easily ignore, no goddamn purple holographic mohawks or people running around with yellow speed lines here.
