Quick Look: Aliens: Colonial Marines

Wow, excited to watch this but, not working?

i want this game to be good, i realy do. But from what I've heard it's not good at all. Shame. Will have a look and see what all the talk is about.

Video isnt working....

:(

Some videos just aren't working for me. Nothing happens when I try to play them.

Did they even do the live quick look? At the top of the page it said "Live show is live!" but I couldn't click on it or nuthin'.

Why was Jeff part of this QL ? Seemed like it was just a case of "this is getting terrible reception, I need to see this", but he was just such a debbie downer.

Not defending the game or anything, but it just got annoying to listen to his nitpicking (especially with him constantly asking "is this in the movie?")

I have tried to watch this video multiple times but can't, I am using google chrome, maybe it is browser related... (too lazy to log on in safari)

It almost looks like it's not uploaded yet. The timebar(?) will show up once it's fine. I had the same problem with the latest ILM when the site went live.

Am I the only one who thought the 2010 AvP was awesome and enjoyed every minute of it?

cancelled my pre order from gamestop yesterday my cousin got it early from amazon on friday played it and it was almost broken even with the patch fuck this game

Going to enjoy watching this especially after reading Kotuku's review. Also, first video on the new site! Love the redesign.

I was told this game was terrible. I have commented to relay that information. And with that I depart.

Every minute of it? No, but it was better than the rep it got. My biggest complaint was they only made about six maps and reused them over and over. And the melee system in multiplayer was a bit daft (along with the conga line executions). Other than that, groovy.

I was about to ask the same question.

Too bad for all these long adds, and the poor video quality.

Video works for me.

I played 40 minutes of this game on PC tonight with Xbox gamepad. Honestly, it makes Deadspace 3 look like a candidate for GOTY. Beyond the score and sound effects, it felt (and looked) like Doom 3 all over again. The voice acting is atrocious. There is no suspense. Firing off rounds isn't awful (again think Doom 3), but the AI is pitifully stupid so it negates the fun. Strange quirks like if you fire off one round but approach a medipack, it forces you to reload in order to pick-up the object. Quite annoying.

Does the audio sound more clear to you guys? Does for me...specifically Ryan's voice.

"Are they all Paul Reiser?"

Thank you, Drew

First quicklook on the new site. But it's this game. Oi.

That section on the Sulaco DRAGGED! It seemed to go on forever, which makes it being such a short game even crazier.

What the hell is up with the red-dot sight? It's really weirding me out...

blah if i knew how to insert a gif properly i would

Can't play the video...

Also, the site looks nice :)

Edit: Never mind, it works now.

@jareda: I KNOW! its a pulse rifle take that thing off sir!

lovin' the new player.

Since when the fuck do Colonial Marines hug each other? Did they even watch the Aliens movie before making the game?

This game is shameful. The fact that the pre-release demos dont represent the final product. The fact that they had a review embargo so that know one knew ahead of time that this game was actually awful. The fact that the game was outsourced and compiled together by different studios. This stuff is just not acceptable for a supposed AAA game. I know I shouldn't take this stuff so serious but this game was billed as a canonical sequel to one of the most important films and it is just an utter disappointment. I'm going to go find a corner to hide in and cry to myself that the best aliens game was made by monolith and came out a long time ago and I should just forget this game exists and move on with my life.

Hey Jeff, I ain't never seen no Aliens either

That's the funniest shit I've since this year.

I'm really starting to question Gearbox, and if they can actually make good games. (Outside of Borderlands - which even then, is wearing thin.)

Video is working for me (Firefox here).

Also, I'm pretty glad I didn't buy this game.

I'm 20 minutes into the quick look.. and feeling very disappointed in the game play. Hopefully the multiplayer will bring me back around.

EDIT: Nope... this game has been relegated to steam sale only status. Such a shame.

I was almost very angry for a second, until I found the Embiggen Andre in the little settings menu. Now all is right with the world. :)

You could just feel Drew's disappointment with this game. Feel it in the very depths of your soul.

Love that Drew is getting more time in front of the camera now.

Embiggen'd and pinned only gives me the slightest sliver of and area, below the player, within which I can read and respond to comments.

Funny how Jeff was talking about how there's a stealth level in the game and suspects that's the part that people seem to hate but it's been hailed as one of the positive things in the game.

Gosh, I feel like Matt Rorie walking in, saying "workmanlike," and then leaving would be the best thing.

Not sure why everyone is calling this shit. Just looks about the same as every other FPS out there, not great but not terrible.

Alien > Aliens for me. But, Dead Space < Dead Space 2. I am full of diametrically opposed opinions!

Someone needs to make a gif of the weird corpse hip thing that was going on

WOOT! Site looks great!

Yeah I wish you could resize it or something

Aww, is Youtube really gonna be members only from now on?

Player is slow as fuck for me at the moment. Might just be my connection though.
