Aliens
The release of Aliens: Fireteam Elite is here and we can dive further into the horrors of the Alien IP to take on the swarms
Time is a weird thing, as we seem to be upon the release for Aliens: Fireteam Elite on the various platforms out there. It feels like only a few months ago that Cold Iron Studios announced the game was coming and now we are here at the launch and ready to dive into the mix of it all. If you are able to get a team up and ready to give the new Aliens title a go. The co-op versions of the IP do not have the best track record when it comes to it all, sadly. Maybe this one will be the one that breaks the curse and gives us a solid experience to enjoy. You can download it now to see for yourself or give it one more chance with the latest trailer that is out there.
The following trailer we have does try to make Aliens: Fireteam Elite look like the next major thing, but it feels like a title from the previous generation of systems out there. That is at least in the looks of it all. That is not a horrible thing as long as the gameplay holds up extremely well. It is a little hard to tell from all of this here with how fast things are clipped together. It could be a fun co-op thing out there, but I have a feeling it will be up to the team you are able to form. I am hoping that the aliens in the mix will have an amazing AI as we saw in Isolation and not just stick to the swarm aspect we see. That is what makes the Xenomorphs truly horrifying on top of it all.

Are you heading out there to take down the Aliens again or will this be a title you will be holding off on for a bit? Do you think it looks like a last-gen game with the visuals and will that sway you away from giving it a try?
