AVP Day 4: You Are The Demons
Well, I started the Alien campaign today. It's pretty fun, running around at super speed and tearing dudes faces off. Still a bit limited but way more interesting than the marine stuff. One of the things you do is "harvest" civilians, which consists of grabbing them and sticking a facehugger that just happened to be in the neighborhood on their fat stupid faces. This is excellent. One of the dudes blew himself up to keep from being alienized (alienated) and killed me, which was not excellent. Overall if the Predator campaign is also this fun it may have saved me from completely writing this game off. More tomorrow, maybe!

I think the problem is going to be that the marine part of these games will always seem like every other horror/alien/military shooter, but one that at most a third of the time was spent on as other games. It probably won't break any new ground and the play will be designed around balance in multiplayer, so ingenuity could be game-breaking.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, there aren't really any first person games like the Alien part of things. It's new and interesting and more people should do stuff like it.
