That video you see above is me, Dorrani, and Sherif playing through the opening level of Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the upcoming three-player co-op shooter with Left 4 Dead vibes. It’s from newcomers Cold Iron Studios, which might cause a stir of worry to rumble in your chest like a bad case of chestbursteritis, but our first impressions are pretty good overall. We had a great time blasting xenomorphs, which bodes well for the full game. It’s fair to say that we had reason to be somewhat apprehensive about Fireteam Elite, as the franchise hasn’t always been good to us.
The Definitive Ratings of all key Alien Games
Video games based on the Alien franchise have been a rollercoaster of emotions over the years.
Alien 3 on Mega Drive: good Alien 3 on SNES: average Alien 3 - The Gun (arcade): an arcade classic Alien Trilogy: good AVP on PC: superb Aliens vs. Predator (2010): decent, actually Aliens: Infestation: so good Aliens: Colonial Marines: abysmal Alien: Isolation: the GOAT
That’s a definitive rating of all the main Alien games. It can’t be argued with as it is in fact objectively and subjectively 100% accurate. End of. Aliens: Fireteam Elite is set to launch on August 24 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC (Steam), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
