I understand where you're coming from magic. I feel very similar in my feelings towards the new material that has been less than average. I've recently played some AvP2010 on my Xbox and found it to be somewhat fun, yet somewhat needy. I feel like these games are barely tested by anyone outside their own development studios, if they even are. It's like "this is what we came up with, like it or not, give us your money fan-boys/girls."

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this title but I'm also keeping my standards/expectations low. I want to expect crap and be pleasantly surprised to astounded.

I'm crossing my fingers for a good survival horror Alien game but so far the well has been poisoned for almost a decade

Very bad...
Predators
AvP
AvP Requiem
Colonial Marines

Underwhelming... 
Prometheus
AvP 2010
2009 triple comics
Aliens Resurrection

I thought Alien 3 and Predator 2 were alright

My favourite franchise is on the verge of quality bankruptcy and I've had to deal with disappointment after disappointment starting with AvP all the way back in 2004. It's the most frustrating feeling in the world to watch this shit being churned out and to actually be relieved when a new movie or game or whatever is just mediocre as opposed to being complete garbage

[quote/]Prometheus was just the icing on the cake, just like the avp movies, clearly designed for the kids and popcorn as well.

Please don't lump Prometheus in with that crap.

Honestly:

The Good:
Alien: Director's Cut
Aliens: Extended Cut
Aliens: Theatrical Release
Alien: Theatrical Release
Prometheus: Theatrical Release
Alien-3: Assembly Cut

The Bad:
Alien-3: Theatrical Release
Alien-Resurrection: Director's Cut
Alien-Resurrection: Theatrical Release

The Ugly:
AVP
AVP-R

(Sorry if a little off-topic.)

Anyway, if first-person must be the route a mix of game mechanics from Metro: Last Light and Amnesia would be welcome, with AVP2's non-linearity.

Sega should make a new game that contradicts everything that happened in A:CM, just for spite.

Glad I never broke down and bought ACM...

I'd like to see something third person single player
On the contrary, I'm glad I bought the super-fan-boy edition of ACM. I liked the extras, especially the statue. And the box was cool too! Boxes are usually boring!

I've been unofficially calling-for/supporting the idea of a Dead Space-style Alien(s) game that pays more homage to the films in the same way the original Dead Space had limited ammo, jump-scares and a sense of surreal horror. We don't need competitive MP, but Co-Op with one other person would be a nice option.

Alien3 was already my second favourite film after alien, and this game came only to make me stand by my already old belief about the total superiority of both films over the second. In fact, I should be grateful to the hardcore alien(s) fans for pushing for the making of a game like this.

Remember, Colonial Marines was made out of spite for Alien 3. The best form of revenge/spite is to make an Alien(s) game that people love.

True, A:CM was very disappointing (putting it lightly). But I think Sega/CA should worry more about putting their best efforts towards a good Alien game rather than trying to spite someone else and potentially screwing themselves over in the process, suffering from putting out a game of lesser quality over it. Putting out a good quality game that many will enjoy and love is spite enough (if you really want spite that is).

Well, yeah, if you're sane.  What if you just want to watch the world burn?

Hold on there...

Anyway, I'm hoping this upcoming game will really go the more "Alien" route as opposed to the "Aliens" route, I think the world could use a little more "Alien" as it's probably had enough of "Aliens" (AvP2010 which was okay, A:CM which was very disappointing) for now. Time for something different I think. I like the sound of "dark and slow paced" from the game's mentioning in February. I was actually very recently talking about this upcoming game a bit with others in another thread relating to playthroughs of "Amnesia: The Dark Decent" and "SCP Containment Breach".

In response to the interview part that says "Colonial Marines, although it didn't review well, did sell well to start.", well, that's because things like "ALIENS" and "FPS VIDEO GAME" and "MOVIE AUTHENTICITY" were slapped on a lunchbox and it started selling. Even I was raving that it was going to be my game of the year before it was released... I was so wrong.

Anyway, bring on this kind of stuff...
