Actually, Alien 3 was the catalyst in my mind that propelled the series downward to Whedons' shit level, which he took full advantage of I'd say. But ya, I agree...sadly the shitting continued with Foxs' brainwave AvP series. Since then the "big chap" has never recovered.
The only two that matter worth a damn are Alien and Aliens to me.Jimmyfenix

Aliens Labyrinth had a really chilling look into a person as they're captured in the hive. Been stuck in my head for years.

I actually thought the first one was ok, even though a lot of people hated it. Second one was an embarrassing joke tho

I just wanna say, for the record... Greenmangaming's search function is fucking broken. Search for "alien" and the first result that shows up is "Sanctum." The second result is "Duke Nukem Forever."

We'll see about widespread reviews, but at least IGN, apparently.

When saying AvP isn't that bad, keep in mind FOX passed over a Cameron/Scott partnership proposed Alien 5 and chose to go ahead with AvP instead.

More than likely everyone, its been a longggg time since I've seen an outlet exclusive review.

Well, either she makes it through this game or there's some kind of godforsaken retcon on the level of what Colonial Marines did(I'm still awed at how dumb that was). Although I guess that scene was in the DC, have never seen the theatrical version of Aliens
And Alien Resurrection is hilarious in a good way, plus the mutated version of the Alien in the movie is really neat.
Yes, but for all we know that could have been a cover-up by Wey-Yu which opens up some great possibilities for this series.

Those of you talking about the Alien 3 director's cut...Are you referring to the "Assembly Cut" that came out later? To my knowledge there is no director's cut.
Getting my hands on a copy tomorrow and I still can't manage to wait through the night. About to start a movie marathon right now. I can't imagine having to have to wait the whole weekend haha.
For anybody that is interested, I should be streaming the Xbox One version at around 12PM EST. However, I may totally switch to the PS4 version last minute haha

Will the Steam version support the Oculus Rift? God I hope so after hearing all of those E3 comments about that demo.

Watching now. I'm getting strong Outlast vibes.
Officially? No, not anytime soon. The E3 demo was an internal prototype version of the game. It's basically something they experimented with. Even now, Creative Assembly are still playing around with it, figuring out the best way to use VR. When or if they publicly release a patch/separate VR edition in the future is uncertain.
Unofficially, you can always use an injection driver like vorpX. Don't know how well that will work though. Either way, it's not ideal compared to native support.

They are not that awful. A bit long but you can go for some time without ever having one.

I agree I have tried some games with vorpX and its just not the same. What a bummer, I didn't know about the demo being a prototype. Man I hope they release native support.

Not sure if you're only talking about Alien 3?
If so yeah Alien 3 and 4 had a ton of CGI, both are pretty awful.

Yep, I was the same. Heart was pounding just watching it. I imagine the game is at its best when you are being really slow and deliberate.
I cannot wait to play it, but also oh god I don't want to play it.

Wait till you hear that crinkle of metal so you decide to hide in a locker and when you do you notice the sound stopped. Oh so that means its gone right?!?
Right?

I would say watching the stream of the whole game kind of ruins the experience of a linear horror game but maybe the unscripted AI doesn't spoil the surprises. That dude who did impressions of the game from vids on previous page though
Despite them aging poorly, the SFX in Alien 3 were actually nominated for an Oscar. The whole process with the puppet and editing it in was pretty impressive at the time (technologically speaking).
Yeah, I'm surprised they don't have it as an option at all. It could be that they want to fix some issues and get the VR experience polished before release. Or maybe they want to release a special VR edition (GOTY style) as an Oculus Rift CV launch title. Hell, maybe the game in VR is just too scary and they don't want to be liable for the psychological distress and heart attacks it could cause. Who knows.

Only in the directors cut of aliens is Amanda brought up, and I think someone at CA said that they are ignoring all other alien movies that aren't alien so its still likely that amanda dies in this game.
Watching some parts of the stream, and I know it was talked about before, but her arm and wrist look weird when climbing ladders, interacting with objects. Looks super thin and strange. Might be a FOV thing.
Heh. I gave Alien 3 multiple tries including the Assembly Cut and I still found it hard to get through. It's a decent post-apoco sci fi b-movie at best, but a very bad Alien film when comparing it to the first two. Didn't bother watching Alien Resurrection aside from a few scenes I gleaned from televised broadcasts.
