AvP Galaxy Gets Hands-On With Preview Of Aliens: Fireteam Elite With 15 Minutes of Gameplay! (Read 10,224 times)

We've got just about a month to go until the release of Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the new co-op survival shooter by Cold Iron Studios. After only hearing rumors about the game since development was announced in January of 2018, the game was finally revealed to us in March of 2021 as Aliens: Fireteam. Now with the recent slight name change to Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and pre-orders with their incentives available, the game is finally on the cusp of release.

The folk over at Cold Iron Studios invited us to get a taste of Aliens: Fireteam Elite with a limited preview build of the game. So Alien vs. Predator Galaxy staff members Corporal Hicks, Darkness and Ridgetop kitted up the latest hardware that the Colonial Marines had to offer to experience some of what is in store for us all come the end of August.

And we're all nerdy fanboys so that meant we came out of the experience with a thought or two to share, and plenty of gameplay footage to accompany our enthralling commentary!

How fast does the game feel? I mean, not the pace of gameplay, but a general walkthrough: speed of level/campaigns completing.

If you guys played Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, does AFTE feels closer to it or to L4D?

Especially if there are 3 sides in RE:ORC, i.e., Umbrella forces, US forces and monsters.

Didn't even think about an Operation Raccoon City comparison as it's been so long since I've played that game. RE:ORC had its issues but I still quite enjoyed it, I do think that's a fair comparison with this one, if it would've gotten more things right. The squad-dynamics here seem much deeper. Can't say it leans to one of the other really, the but the game does also have a number of prominent Left 4 Dead elements.

As a fan of RE classics (PS1 ports) I did not care about it when it was released in 2012. Also I was not into games with sidekicks either. But I got it lately on PC (thanks to similarities with AFTE and aesthetics) and I was surprised how good gameplay mechanics it has. Not perfect but it became my favorite RE shooter game.

It looks like Gears of War to me, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Guys thanks for sharing this - it's great to get some good insight into this game! Definitely looking forward to seeing what it has to offer!

Darkness

Really detailed work guys to get this done in the timeframe you had. I kinda wish I'd have put my two cents in but I felt like I'm not as qualified as you guys to comment on it as I very rarely play online multiplayer these days.

I'm sure it'll do good and find its audience. There is a lot of good things in there. It is non-stop action, you very rarely have a chance to breathe between the hoards of Xenomorphs.

I really like how detailed the customisation aspects seem to be, both in terms of cosmetics and stats that'll affect gameplay. Means we should be able to spend a decent amount of time tweaking stuff between missions and that it's not just going to be 100% pew-pew.

On a similar note I also like how big the Endeavour looks like it's going to be too. Definitely going to spend a while just looking around and exploring before I even start the first mission.

Very cool that you guys got a preview of this. Looking forward to playing with everyone again like the AvP game nights all those years ago

Does the pulse rifle have a grenade launcher ?

A very important question. Especially, if there is going to be little time to breath between Xenomorph hordes.

AFE Too easy

This game looks wayyyyyy too easy.
