Don't forget there's a new Aliens FPS in the works that nobody knows anything about and will probably suck because it's Aliens https://www.pcgamer.com/theres-a-new-alien-game-in-the-works/

Tried running this on my gtx680 and the FPS seems to stutter alot even on low. My card is barely above the minimum requirements so I wasn't expecting much. Is there a particular setting that hogs resources?

It might work better for a space marines squad Aliens type of action romp? maybe it's a Left 4 Dead in space, which doesn't sound like the worst thing. but yeah Isolation has been the only game to ever focus on what made Alien (the movie) good, and i fear it might've been the kind of happy accident that's hard to pull off again or expand upon. Especially with depressing things like quote:Whatever the case, now that the Murdoch-owned FoxNext has Alien in its licensing camp, it's pretty unlikely that we'll ever see Creative Assembly deliver an Isolation sequel.  Though i would've said the same thing about a new DOOM so i'm always happy to be proven wrong. RoadCrewWorker fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Mar 27, 2018 |

I am a fan of both the "The alien is an unstoppable killing machine so don't even try to fight it" and the "Aliens are fodder for your magnetic railgun machine gun but they will still kill you ez if they get close" camps so personally I'll be satisfied either way.

That's one of the reasons why some people prefer the original Alien movie or Aliens. I myself prefer Aliens because while they kill shitloads of aliens, is always by sheer firepower and by keeping them at range, if they get close they're hosed. I reinstalled recently AvP 2010 and is still a decent game maybe no AvP2 good but still nice.

Alien and Aliens are both excellent entries in their respective genres. The doom series itself is a pretty good example of sub-genre variation within a franchise, going from early 90mph run and gun entries to "Hey Half life and HL2 were pretty neat" Doom 3 attempts and back. Of course, some of those attempts were less successful than others.

One of the things I like most about Alien (the movie) retroactively because of Aliens (also the movie) is that the Xenomorph is not indestructible. You can totally kill a Xenomorph and without all that much difficulty if you have the means and aren't an idiot and/or redshirt. But if you don't have the means, you end up with the first movie. What makes the Xenomorph so scary is that normal people, even in the superfuture, don't have a way of dealing with it.

Why make an aliens l4d game when space hulk exists? Hopefully the enhanced edition fixes the engine issues.

On the topic of Aliens game chat, just a reminder that we could have gotten a Mass Effect style Aliens RPG by Obsidian, but Sega canceled it in favor of Colonial fuckin’ Marines. https://youtu.be/2KmwNIdkeZc

There’s an old ‘Aliens’ pencil-and-paper RPG by Leading Edge, it’s notable because the main focus of it is doing stuff OTHER than dealing with Aliens. The core rules are focused around rank-and-file Colonial Marines, but it has some secondary rules for if you wanted to play a private military contractor, corporate employee (and not necessarily a WY employee), etc. Apparently the nuts and bolts gameplay mechanics were clunky and convoluted and not fun to play, but hey it’s a thing that exists. v  v

Probably the earliest Doom/Doom 2 mod that's still worth playing is the Aliens Total Conversion.

I know I'll probably be considered scrub-tier for this but I've been playing on Switch and holy poo poo now I understand the frenzy of this thread. It's the spirit of the original Doom with the right amount of modern flourishes layered in to make it captivating for the era. I'm at the Kadangir Sanctum and just saw my 1st Baron. I remember a long time ago reading some magazine or official Doom documentation that read like "Big as a Dump Truck and hits just as hard!" Now those drat things finally live up to that and it's terrifying seeing 2 of those fuckers going full sprint at me.

4K patch for Xbox One X and PS4 Pro coming tomorrow: https://twitter.com/DOOM/status/978993945568071680 Don't know if it's full native 4K or dynamic resolution that tries to hit 4K (or how well the frame rate holds up, currently it's pretty much a perfect 60 fps at 1080p on Xbone X), but still pretty cool and certainly much better than anything my ancient PC is capable of. edit: also there's no shame in playing Doom on the Switch, that port may have some downgrades but it's still really goddamn impressive

If you haven't seen Mick Gordon's GDC talk about DOOMs music then I highly recommend that you do. I don't know poo poo about music myself but the dude is very entertaining and it was very interesting to hear about his thought process when it came to coming up with DOOMs music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4FNBMZsqrY

ProjektorBoy posted:As perfect for Doom as NIN's riffs were for Quake! A lot of familiar with a touch of the surreal. The music cues in Doom have all been incredibly well placed and enhance the atmosphere. Doom 64's music was fairly creative too, one of the later levels music was done entirely by recording a bee in a soda can and then altering the pitch and frequency of the sound. Poor bee though

Exo-skeleton would probably collapse due to the square cube law, and even if it didn't, I could get a new spleen from someone who liked to ride motorcycles. One Doomguy, even the size of a bee, would be much less safe. A swarm of them would be ridiculous.
