    Looks like a great co-op shooter with some interesting dynamics!

    Looks cool, but too twitchy for my taste

    Interesting video, will need to see the other monsters and maps- 6 other game modes so prehaps a good amount of play time.

    I was just thinking it wasn't twitchy enough. :lol:

    Combat looks a little too "run around and shoot/hit the things", particularly for the hunters. The jet packs look fun, but mobility still seems pretty limited. Back-pedal and hold down the trigger and hope you kill it in time.

    To be fair, I wasn't a fan of Left 4 Dead either.

    I had a go at this during the Gadget Show Live (They had a booth, so been there got the t-shirt etc :hehe: ) and I thought it was a great game! The only thing that's slightly worrying for me about it would be the limited scope of where it could go..? Still, if COD is still running strong and Titanfall got bought in droves.. If they open the game up for mods etc then I can see it living on a lot longer, else it would have a shortish playability for me without getting repetitive after a month or two of playing it.

    It's not just one stage one monster though! Remember reading that there's variety on both sides, so the final game features different x4 players and also monsters other than the Goliath. Should mix things up enough to hold my attention for a few months! :D

    Yeah, true! :D And if there's modding support.. I can see a lot of scope for it to be a community favourite! Hunting down grumpy cat with four doges? That'd set the internet on fire! :hehe:

    Looks too repetitive to me. Hard to say without playing it for myself. I used to play Team Fortress a lot which was repetitive too, but it had enough to keep me interested for a long time.

    Cheers for the link Hamfunk + Rep. Let's see if it works :)

    I'm cautiously optimistic about this after the success of the Left 4 Dead games.

    Word on the street is you are guaranteed alpha access if you sign up for curse voice, once you install the client it gives another referral code for the alpha but also emails saying you are guaranteed access.

    Currently waiting.

    Good luck!
