Alien Swarm

[obsidian]

I gotta stop spending money on games that I only have 15 minutes to play before something else comes out.

The line must be drawn HERE! This far! NO FURTHER!

[feedback]

well it's free so why not

[obsidian]

Oh.

The original for UT2004 was very good. I caught this yesterday on RPS, looks good.

Might have a go and see if we can supplant BC2 with this as our new evening coop game...

[phantasmagoria]

this looks fucking awesome. fap fap fap

[brisk]

Looks great and for free, you simply cannot complain.

I shall be downloading on Monday.

[phantasmagoria]

in fact, this is nearly enough for me to forgive them for leaving l4d to fester and die without decent DLC.

[Deathshroud]

Best part is it ships with code and tools. Can't wait to see what kind of mods people build.

It's gonna be countless zombie mods and you know it!

well yuh!

[phantasmagoria]

t's fucking great

[losCHUNK]

this game is boss !, the fact that its free makes it fucking quality

someone was drinking scotch on the krack rocks when they thought of the price tag for this

[Don Carlos]

Just watched a trailer for it...how the fuck is it free??!

[Psyche911]

Because you can beat the whole game in about 20 minutes.

[fKd]

its fully got replay value, and in no time there will be campaigns etc the great thing about tools right off the bat. very big thumbs up to valve etc on this one

[Ryoki]

It's indeed a stunning little game, great gameplay, functional voicechat, lots of weapons, 4 player coop is absolutely the shit, etc etc. I give it two thumbs up (out of two):

The only thing that crossed my mind is poor Alien Breed devs They're going to have a hard time selling their game now probably... Maybe Valve should have bought both companies and force them to work together :P

[Mat Linnett]

It is indeed fab, and that was some top killage last night
It sounds ungrateful, but there's a couple of things that could do with fixing:

The reload bar should be more central to the screen. You have to look away from the action in order to get a "Fast Reload". That would probably change over time as you got used to the timing, but it's distracting at the moment.
Similarly, I can understand why they went for a Left 4 Dead style HUD, but having that information float around the characters would work better in this kind of game.

And picking things up reveals how dodgy the bounding boxes on interactive items are. They need to add a button to switch between items on the ground.

Still, absolutely lovely stuff overall, and I can't wait to see what the community produces.

not got Steam on my machine at the moment and the machine i'm using only has 8 gig free space and a terrible graphics card

[phantasmagoria]
