First Preview from SDCC

[ikarop]

There are more conflicting reports about the release date for this game.

Apparently Amazon.com is sending notifications to people who have pre-ordered the game stating that the release date has changed and will be released in October 2011 instead. Last time I inquired it was clearly stated that September 2011 was the release date, but I'll ask again.

The official UK site for the game still has a date of September 2011 while the US site has October 2011 (it has been like that since the announcement btw).

weird. I was really hoping to get it in time for my birthday (in september). You'd think they'd have a nailed down release date a month before the game was released...

Also when can we expect a reply from our question from Wayforward?

[ikarop]

No ETA yet. It's a lengthy Q&A (23 questions) so it might take a while.

Any idea if this is showing at Gamescom?

[ikarop]

Not that I know of.

[newbeing]

Dang. Well any more word on that crazy release date

[ikarop]

Nothing confirmed yet.

Sega is giving away some promotional merch at PAX.

[newbeing]

very cool. I'm still very excited for this game.

[ikarop]

They re-confirmed the US release date as October 11th as well.

[newbeing]

Ah Dang. Well I guess it isn't so much further away.

This game will be the Alien-fix that holds me down until A:CM comes out.  I hope the game is long enough to be enjoyed for awhile.

I keep hearing comparisons to Infestation and Metroid.  I think it would be cool if you could achieve multiple endings based on how quickly and efficiently you finish this game...like Metroid.

Wait, we control 4 Marines? I thought originally you controlled a whole mess of them, and they were sort of like your "lives" in the game and they could get killed or captured by the Aliens? I guess that's changed?
