I'm playing AvP and I'm looking forward this game. It is a good one to be played at night, you know, that atmosphere...
I wouldn't hold your breathe.. the PC isn't getting the collector's edition it seems. WiiU version seems highly unlikely. They're so heavily reliant on downloadable content these days, which the WiiU doesn't appear to support yet.Need to preorder the Wii U version.
Like NOW!
Hopefully I can get the Collector's Edition for it as well.
Randy said it's the best console version. Would he care enough to lie? Real concern is if anyone plays it multiplayer after CoD's numbers.

On the main page of the eShop there is an option to redeem codes.
No developer has ever lied about which console version of their game is supposed to be the best for marketing purposes!
You really can't devise such facts from PR statements.
That doesn't mean the console does support DLC content.
There was a Nintendo press release shortly after the Wii U's release that stated that DLC wasn't supported by the system at that point, and they promised a system update to be coming in December that was to add in the missing functionality. As that hasn't happened, the reasonable assumption is that Nintendo is running late and therefore publishers can't rely on being able to implement the functionality for their game.
Ninja gaiden has been getting dlc left and right

Product Description
This is a pre-order - the item will be despatched to you on or before the release date of 12/02/2013 - subject to change by the publisher.
Please note WiiU titles are not compatible with the standard Nintendo Wii
LIMITED EDITION BONUS CONTENT CONTAINS:
Four movie characters
Ripley's Flamethrower
Additional marine customization
I guess that all depends on your definition of dlc. I you mean pre order/Limited Edition codes then I can't see why not if it's just a code. If however you're talking about add on content at a later date like map packs etc then we'll just have to see.
For the record the WiiU version of Aliens:CM ships with the added content (movie characters, Ripleys flamethrower etc).

That said, even if there are minor performance differences using the Gamepad as a motion tracker should make the Wii U version the definitive console version!
No Ripley no buy.
Seeing the motion tracker on the TV screen seems much more convenient and sensible from a gameplay perspective.

Well she was kinda busy after Aliens... You know the whole being sleeping for a "couples" of years? This game is the direct canon sequel of Aliens and is before Alien 3.
Yeah but by that theory if Ripley was "busy sleeping" then three of those were busy being dead, while Hicks was sleeping too.
They seriously didn't think about Ripley? Are they waiting for her as DLC? I'm sure Weaver would love to come and do some voice work for her MP counterpart. Even if it means recycling some of her (awesome) lines.

She could be in the multiplayer though.
It appears that the achievement list is out. It doesn't look too bad, but that depends on how difficult the highest difficulty is and how grind-focused some of them are. Hopefully not like AvP.
Looks like the game only has 5 chapters. Won't be surprised if the campaign is barely 4 hours.

Even EBgames have '12 February' for all versions except the Wii U, which is 'TBC'.
What a joke. I'll pick up the PS3 one instead, if the impressions are good.
You know what? I just decided I'm not getting this game. At all.
The CE is $99 and in terms of digital goods, it includes Hicks, Hudson, Apone and Drake. It includes the pulse rifle, Ripley's flame thrower, "sonic electronic ball breakers,"
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these core fucking features that should be included in every version of a game about Aliens?

And dying, don't forget about that. :/Well she was kinda busy after Aliens... You know the whole being sleeping in Hypersleep and crashing into a planet? This game is the direct canon sequel of Aliens and is before Alien 3.
