Moosh nailed it. I do hold onto hope that they will offer "classic" skins, AKA the F^%$#@# only correct USCM equipment.
I feel strongly that if this forum made a list of bullet points for them to take note of, the game would sell better even if the gameplay is repetitive or basic. Id play it every single day if I could say " dude they even got the radio pouch under the lobster plate" We have never been able to play a game where we feel like the same colonial marines from the movie. Aside from maybe "Alien Trilogy". Is there any conceivable way for this forum to reach out to developers in any useful way, so that someday we will get a cool videogame that has all of our stamp of approval? Just imagine if every bit of information on this forum was used in a game. everyone who likes ALIENS would be curious about it.They didnt even show off a real M41A. You'd think someone like Bapty or Matsuo would have had a phone call. If they had dropped by here and said hello, we'd be looking at different game footage and cheering.Remember the Ghostbusters videogame with the original cast those guys put the effort in.
Meanwhile I've literally been planning this exact level of detail and attention for the last 8 years since I beat A:CM and was mostly disappointed in the final product. All my research has mainly stemmed from this dream vision lol. Unfortunately I'm not a game developer, I'm a gamer. While I have solid mechanics and gameplay ideas nailed down, I have no development experience and "ideas are like assholes, everyone has them" falls into play here. If only I could show a dedicated team what I have for research I've collated...
Funny story, 2 years ago, Cold Iron was looking for help for developing this game. I wrote them and told them I literally have everything they needed to make a great Aliens game. They left me on <read> lol!
Last year 3D Realms and Cliff Blezinski both talked about Aliens games they were working on but got lost in the Disney merge/cancelled. I reached out to them to compare notes but no response from either as well...
It's super frustrating lol
As for movie skins, Jenette Goldstein was recording voice lines in her bedroom a few months back for "something", so I'd assume we will be having movie characters make an appearance
