What are your expectations for the game?
I expect it to be as bad as Colonial Marines (I just finished playing the game and I now see why it got so much hate). It's being done by Creative Assembly whose last game was Total War; Rome 2, which is reputed to share many issues with Colonial Marines such as persistent bugs and being dull. From the perspective of the last few big-budget Aliens games, all of which were done under Sega, the question is no longer "is there any reason to suspect this game will be sub-par." Rather, the question is " Is there any reason to suspect this game will break the pattern?"
