While its fun trying to keep up with ikarops rapid-fire updates (I'm sending you some beer, it will be in a Huggies box, don't panic) the Kotaku preview was extraordinary. That's what I was really wondering about, the gameplay and the aliens themselves. The story can fly out the window for all I care, I just want it to be realistic, scary, and infintely playable in the end.
I have to say my expectations are back up to the idiotically giddy level. I'm glad they talked about welding, and it made it sound like you can weld any damn door you want provided you beat the mini-game. Awesome. The turret outline made me think that turrets can only go in predesignated spots, but that could be wrong. Also scripted deaths are cool, but I really hope the aliens can have those awesome kills without a cut-scene :/
But... things are looking great.
