Maybe finally getting the Alien Shooter we've always wanted...... Aliens: Fireteam Squads Up in 25 Minute PS5, PS4 Gameplay Demo - Push Square

lopper

If this is anything like the excellent World War Z game, then I'm wholly onboard.

K&AJones

That's a game i want but can't find any friends wanting to get....does it have drop in MP/Coop?.....and we're on board for the new Back -4-Blood coming June.....

lopper

It has online co-op. I’ve played dozens of hours of WWZ, all with randoms, and it’s still great.

OldBoy

I don’t get it. What is or is possibly coming out?

milo bloom

A new Alien game, more shooter based I think.

OldBoy

Is this going to be co-op only or will have a decent SP or do we not know shit yet?

OldBoy

Eh, wish it was FPS. Looks ok, but not really for me.

K&AJones

More of a in-depth look at two classes...Gunner and Technician....not bad....as someone posted its like..."Left-4-Aliens"....

Toddarino

This comes out Tuesday. Anyone picking it up?
Might be looking for some ps5/ps4 people.

Why So Blu?

The price is right for the PS5. I'm cautious, though. I'll wait for some reviews. This looks like a 180 on what Isolation was.

Decker

Yeah, definitely wait for reviews and impressions. A mediocre single-player game can still be enjoyable if you're in the right mindset. A mediocre multiplayer-only game immediately becomes a coaster like Brink or Evolve and isn't worth picking up for free as it's a wasteland with nobody online.

OldBoy

So this has no single player campaign at all right?

Toddarino

I got burned hard by the Predator game, but I’m taking a chance on this. My friends and I are sick of playing fall guys.

OldBoy

Wow, even the assault rifle sounds like in Aliens. This looks awesome. I think I read does have single player, but like very short. One article said 4 hours. Yikes. If co-op can you play with randos and quit when want and same level and stats when don and boot back up another time?

Decker

That is a weird binary game selection.

Toddarino

It’s hard to get a group to decide on one game. We played Red Dead all through the early pandemic. After that we splintered off. I’m not a sports guy so some of us played Friday the 13th and Predator. Everyone came back together on Fall Guys. It’s fun especially when you’re hammered, which we usually are.
In reality we are just waiting for winter and maybe another lockdown to go back to Red Dead.

OldBoy

Not looking too good. This is PC. PS fares little better, but not much…

OldBoy

I really want it for nostalgia sake. It at least looks and sounds so authentic. Anyone actually preorder? What, this is out tomorrow? Wonder if any will play…

OldBoy

how much on PS5? Is this an optimized game? One thing review said was no saves in mission. You die, you go to beginning of mission and some are long. Don’t like that…

K&AJones

i've seen only a couple of Reviews...a 7/10 and a 8/10. I did see a PC gaming Site listed 5-6 Reviews from PC Sites and they were 6 to 8 range. The general Pros was...Fun, entertaining action gameplay with all various types, upgrading character and just blowing hordes of Aliens to bits while challenging, visual and audio impressive...Cons was...can feel and get repetitive, solo is almost impossible at higher levels

OldBoy

If people play this, let us know how plays, looks, etc…

Why So Blu?

This and Return To Salem’s Lot are currently getting soaked on my front porch. If the wind doesn’t take them away, I’ll be installing and updating tonight.
