Damn I was hoping to play this later this year. Guess I’ll have to wait even more. Looking good though.

been waiting for this to come out for 4 years, i got a feeling that all this delaying isnt going to pay off, dead island was the same, i was so ready for that game then lost interest when it didnt save properly

That scanner noise and the noise of the Marines rifles is just about my favourite noises ever !! Anyone remember the amazing Megadrive 2d blaster from about 20 years ago ?

Seeing I had this game pre-ordered for about 3 years now, I am glad we now have a date for this game. Trailer looks amazing, hope they can keep the online alive, not that it ends up like AvP did
