"These shots look fairly bland -- and it has to be asked, How the fuck do you make a bland-looking game based on the Aliens franchise? Is it the sorrily drab Lithtech engine? Is it the brightly-lit levels? (Memo to designers: dark is scarier, lads.) I saw a video of limited gameplay for this one; it wasn't any more eventful than the screenshots..."

Yes, let's make it totally dark so that no one can see a goddamned thing, just like in AvP. :P

AVP reminds me of so many games that COULD have been good

I know this is a stupid thing to whinge about, but I just couldnt get into a game seriously that you ran so fast in.

(doom was different STFU)

but the marine moved too quickly, the predator and the alien, difficult to control with the alien, and simply un-realistic

also made it "not so scary" due to the lack of realism, as well as making the game too easy to run from certain instances, - they should have slowed the play down and made it realistic (like aliens (alien2) - running is just not an option)

marine
slow down running by 10-15%
predator 5-10%
alien 10-15%

I would have loved the game, instead I nuked it after 12 hours

Hmmm... this game is screaming to be done with Doom3 tech... However, I'm screaming (in joy) that it is being done by NOLF Team(?). I can live with lesser tech if that is the case.

It looks like this game won't be as dark as AVP1, which is a good thing. Goddamn, you were SCREWED if you were the marine in AVP, you couldn't see shit!

Hmmm... I was hoping for more as well. It is not that much better looking at least than the first one. But, that does not matter ultimately. I really like avp and if they can fix the problems of the first game:

1) Network Play (We need Co-Op!)
2) More variety of maps for and gamestyles for Network Play

Then I think that the game will rock. I just hope they don't go and muck around with what already is excellent.
