I usually play online on PS with two other friends so this is actually optimal for me

I just don't understand why 3 players, literally every co-op shooter I can think of is 4P.

Gears 5 is 3-player in the campaign for some bizarre reason, too. And the third player has to play as the little flying robot assistant :slol:

Maybe it’s a system demand thing? To keep the actual game running ok still.

That's gone from a day 1 to a maybe when it's cheap. Not sure why it looks so boring and generic. It looks pretty and I like the different alien types but like the recent predators game it needs a proper single player.

It looks ok if pretty generic.

However in general it does seem specifically aimed at me. Aliens franchise, third person and 3 player online is all what I want :lol:

It looks like it's got some 3rd person cover based elements which are a nightmare to pull off with a 1st person camera, especially with multiple players.

New details https://www.gamepur.com/news/aliens-fireteam-reveals-new-gameplay-details-including-customization-classes-enemy-types-difficulty

game’s five playable classes — Recon, Doc, Gunner, Technician, and Demolisher — each fulfill a different role, and can be further customized to make their abilities, items, and weapons more specialized. Aliens Fireteam also has a ping system, which is a standard feature in shooter games at this point, since players need to communicate but voice chat isn’t always the best way to do it.


To better tailor the gameplay experience for all types of players, Aliens Fireteam also features a layered difficulty system. Aside from ratcheting up the strength of enemies, at higher difficulties the game becomes more challenging in other ways, including removing enemy outlines from the UI, and enabling friendly fire.

Why is the Aliens videogame bloodline so cursed*. How hard can it be to just make a good Marine corp game?!

*Isolation and AVP aside :wub:

I have to admit, the PS4 boxart having a "free PS5 upgrade" badge is an effective way of making me want the PS5 version

It's cool boxart

Isn't $40 really cheap for a PS5 game?

Cross-gen releases get price matched to PS4 because of the free upgrade

£35 on PlayStation 5 digital store.... Or £60 with season pass and pre order nonsense.

I'll get the digital standard edition for PS5 and then if it's amazing I'll get the season pass.
