I mean, I play D2 and I like to think I have a life...

Then again, I also spend time on an internet forum, so I probably don't.

Any indications where will the game be released?

Since it isn't going to be a 2020 release, I'd imagine it will have to be a next-gen title. PS5, XBox Series X, PC, and I guess maybe Switch and Stadia?

*crosses fingers and hopes they go full Kenner*

I stopped having hope for something along the lines of A:Isolation as a full blown shooter...Right now my fix is Predator: Hunting Grounds. If the gaming industry chooses to make a cartoon shooter out of it....i'm ready to not play it.

Thanx for your reply. But what is Switch and Stadia?

Gaming platforms

Aliens games are always fun.  I even liked ACM reasonably well.  I'm looking forward to this thing..

[Corporal Hicks]

I'm still hesitant about the format since none of these MMO-shooters have grabbed me so far, but I'm still really excited to see Aliens get a new online shooter. Isolation is the current pinnacle of the Alien gaming experience IMHO, but I genuinely miss having an active online Aliens platform for me to jump on. I had enjoyed Colonial Marines MP but it was buggy, and the game genuinely deserved to die a death. AvP2's MP was a big part of my fandom history, so I'm just looking forward to seeing it return to that online realm. I just hope it's good and grabs me unlike those other MMO-shooters.

if the gameplay is good and fun and in addition it features alien characters thats a win.

Simple things are the hardest to pull off

i will take that as a victory! for some reason, when i think about (the little we know about) this game, no man's sky always comes to mind; i'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing

Just use the CM, WY Mercs, and xeno's in a SW: BF 2 type game. Each faction has its different set of troops from specialists, infantry, wariiors, drones, runners, etc.

I hope, since this is gonna be an MMOFPS published by Daybreak Games, and developed by a bunch of people from MMO and Mobile companies... That it will fail, hard. That way maybe more SP/Co-Op focused games will be made. Instead of Shelving the various games we heard about that seemed interesting for... This...

Honestly though, how are you gonna make the aliens scary in an MMO setting? Bullet Sponges and no punishment for death isn't scary...

Of course it can be done if properly designed. And we have not seen anything yet.
