Let's Talk About: Alien Swarm

New Valve game coming out next week. (21/7/2010 for all you people living on the other side of the world, 20/7 otherwise) Well, it's not really a game. It's like, 20 guys off the Valve team that are in charge of the mods for the Source engine.

It looks pretty good, and it's stepping away from the main idea of Valve games. The game is kind of like an overhead-third-person shooter, the idea is kind of like L4D, where it's 4 guys versus a larger swarm. There are objectives and stuff, and the game itself is Valve quality.

So, is anyone getting it? It's pretty much free. If so, are we PGAS/PGBC2/PGTF2?

I'm down for it.

I was referring to Mudkip! As he was the outer-quote.

I will love you forever if you gift it to me kigo

Gift a free game. Free love.

What a deal.

i think its not free, since you need to pre-purchase it

Pre-purchase? Explain? :>

opps, my mistake. its FOC woohoo. Thanks Valve! btw check out my post how to get free HL2DM

We should speculate on one of the achievements.

It's called Hat-Trick and the picture is of one of those little headcrab things on the TF2 Heavy's head.

Could there be a cross-over? :O

TF2 characters in a totally unrelated game. Sounds like fan service!

Perfect is a cake. Sounds like Valve really thinks this game can work. If the server system works the same way L4D2 does (local/best available dedicated/official dedicated), we can have good times all around. I'm going to stay up to preload it, 2.5gb is way big for Malaysian download standards.

Hey hey non onono nono

I'm still gonna gift it to you MC. So that you will love me forever.

lets play nao

We get a TF2 hat if we play 2 Co-op missions or something.

yeah, im still at 68% @_@ @ 78kbps

now @ 94%

GUYS IF WE PLAY COOP 2 TIME OR SOMTIN WE GOT FREE TF2 HATS

You don't get the hats immediately though, so you'll have to play a bit before getting your just rewards.

Also, my first impressions on the game:

It's pretty reminiscent of those old arcade Flash shooters on those game sites, but with a whole lot of graphics upgrades. They may either be using a new Source engine, or the L4D2 engine. The top-down needs getting used to, but it's a comfortable experience for running-and-gunning. I actually got confused with the loadouts in the game, because there are a ton of slots and customizations to play around with, and the game doesn't feel imbalanced or anything. It also has the L4D2 lobby system, which makes making a game 10 times easier than having to forward your ports and configure your router and whatnot. I give it a 15 million/10 for it being the best lil' indie standalone game that Valve has made for free.
