Sometimes less is more. I like the trailer Steam chose for their page the best:
From what I've gathered in the vids, and some other stuff, you get to use a powerloader (most likely) and it seems at least for a short segment you have control of a dropship (there's a clip with an alien queen smashing into the canopy). It'd be nice to see if the APC gets used as well.
That didn't look good imo. Or sound.
That voice over...LOL.
It'll be corny for sure. Is based on something from the 80s after all
My only concern with it really is that the environments look really good, but some of the effects (blood, fire, etc) don't seem to match in terms of quality. Here's hoping it turns out good.

It can't be worse than AvP3. *knock on wood*

I'm not going to pre order this.
Will wait to see some gameplay vids first from actual users.

lol graphics
I have to say that with every new vid, the graphics seem to get worse.
the game looks like it was animated in 1987

That would actually be kind of cool, but I'm in it for shooting xenomorphs.
Are they using the original Quake engine or what?
Unreal Engine 3 actually. I've seen better uses of it, but I'm pinning some of my hopes on the L4D mode. If it's fun, I could care less if it looks like it came straight out of 2007.

That game looks sooooooo bad. Yeah, this fanboy is going to pass this game.

The graphics aren't that bad.
This. They aren't the best I've ever seen, but I've played a lot of awful games with awesome graphics. What's more important to me is the quality of audio, the animation and the gameplay. It looks five years dated, but I won't consider my purchase a waste if I have fun with it. If I were to have made any changes during the development phase, it would be to, I dunno, make it not look so old? The engine is capable of a lot if developers push it.Superior Mind wrote:

If I can look down and actually see my legs rather than being a hovering pair of arms with a gun, that'll be a notch in their favor.

Looks like PS3 graphics.
We weren't expecting a crysis, but when a game looks 5 years old before release, you have to assume that the codebase will be similarly flawed.
I don't have to assume that at all. The only way this game is going to kick dirt in my face is if the gameplay sucks or it turns out to be completely unstable. Yes, the graphics are lackluster for a 2013 release.
I'm pretty easy in acceptance of a game so I'll still play it. At the end of the day if I get to shoot some aliens with a pulse rifle and explore some familiar places, I'll be a happy chappy.

I really disliked that rhinoceros/triceratops alien crossbreed.
It's worse enough that the xenomorphs get new extra abilities (spitting, smoke screen), but this is over the top.
Kind of dilutes the whole basic principle of the fast, wallclimbing enemies that you barely get to see in dark space station corridors, if suddenly a half-ton behemoth comes storming at you in the open.

AvP2 was the best game in the franchise and had multiple xenomorph variants.
