AFE Sequel: Project Macondo

[BlueMarsalis79]

From the Disney leak, still three player sadly, sounds even more arcade like than the first (throwing axes) but refined I believe. With hopefully quality over quantity being the ethos. Not liking the sound of the hero shooter (not being able to switch weapons) aspects to the experience. I do like the idea of a more proper campaign with set characters doing things in the narrative like Gears, exciting potentially, the story premise though... not liking the special mysterious origin character angle especially so soon after Dark Descent already played that card.

Love the sounds of a new MAX-analogue, dislike them removing customisation. Really hope they backtrack on that.

Scope of gameplay/missions.

[BlueMarsalis79]

I really hoped this might take it in the direction of two or four player cooperative, with a splitscreen option, with a lengthy campaign and story with a sandbox of weapons and equipment not native to any one that you can scavenge on the field but... alas I think they have totally squandered their potential if it is going to be this ultimately instead.

Project Macondo looks to be chasing (rather outdated) market trends, instead of creating market trends themselves.

Mutant Xenos, A creature that controls other than the queen, Still no queen boss.

Might get this on sale.

I do like how the drone looks. It pretty cool.

From the sounds of it, the actual aliens in this game will function like Dark Descent, where they are dynamically hunting you instead of swarming you, with the swarming being left for the mutants

[BigChapismyBestFriend]

OK, I really hope that the newtons are experimentation that the engineers did and not just Xenos being infected by the black goo. It just doesn't make sense If they were created with the black goo, why would the black goo just makes them more fleshy?

I mean, add too much of something and it's bound to come out wrong, my main gripe is if this is lab mutations or from exposure, if it's from experiments, it's fine, if it's from exposure, it's lame

Yeah, I really hope it's just like just lab experimentation because If it's just exposure to the black, it's just mixed Xenomorph look weaker, As if For decades, they've been depicted as Mindless swarm creatures getting gun down. At least The gameplay sounds different. I don't know maybe when it's revealed with the trailers and all and the gameplay Shown It really is depended on the execution.

[Scott Conover]

Stoked about this. If they can give me a solid campaign with characters I can actually care about this is a day 1 buy for me

[BlueMarsalis79]

I must say I absolutely love the variety of environments and objectives they talk about in the document levels section.

Seems CHEEZY.

But as a fan of the old DH comics, I like me some CHEEZE. 

It's also interesting, will we actually be playing someone else besides the USCMC in an Aliens action game? If not no Marine likes to be called Soldier.

It also helps to do a little research on military organization before making a realistic military VG. 

If they are Dagger company, they wouldn't be a battalion of black ops, they would be a company of black ops.  A few companies make up one battalion. 

Of course if this is all behind the scenes stuff, about folks talking to other folks within Dibney, then it doesn't matter. 

Also odd that they don't have runners or warriors as common xeno enemies.  I know some people consider drones/warriors the same, but they've been separate in the most recent games, so its kinda weird to not have them here. 

Still, sounds like good old late 80's and early 90s eu fun.

It just looks rubbish to be honest. I mean seriously zombie aliens?

Disney needs to sell the rights to a company that is more competent and actually respects the franchise.

It all sounds way over the top and just awful. Plus it the gameplay is regressed, i.e you can't even customize your character or loadout.
