AtticGamer Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) After the cancelling of one of the PS2's most promising FPSs, a new different game with the same title is being developed by Gearbox Software for PS3 and Xbox 360. This one of the Alien games Sega announced for 2009 (but is coming late 2008) but thank God they're only publishing it, I hope. Maybe I'll buy a PS3 afterall =).

BassGuitari Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 As a huge fan of the Alien Trilogy, this is exciting. Any idea what type of game it's going to be? A FPS along the lines of AvP would be cool (if derivative), or a kind of remake of the old Alien Trilogy game. Maybe something in the vein of Battlefield: 1942, set in the Aliens universe? As long as I'd get to explore places like the Nostromo, the Derelict/LV-426, and Fiorina 161 in depth, I'll be happy. AT and AvP were both really good about that. I might finally have a reason to buy an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomorpher Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I heard it will have 4 player co-op!!!! If they come through with this then I will be happy as hell. I was pissed off when it got canceled but glad they did and decided to work on it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pissed off when it got canceled but glad they did and decided to work on it more. There was an article in one of the games mags but I haven't read it yet. 4 player co-op would be awesome!

AtticGamer Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 It takes place after Alien 3 I think (or during Alien 3), as you get to explore the missing spaceship Sulaco and of course find hordes of aliens there. Details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avid Fan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 But I still wonder what the PS2 version would have been like, as these are 2 different games, with the same title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It takes place after Alien 3 I think (or during Alien 3), as you get to explore the missing spaceship Sulaco and of course find hordes of aliens there. Details. Excellent. There should be absolutely no references to Alien Resurrection then? Fine with me. I read a bit -I forget where- about part of the game taking place at Hadley's Hope and the Derelict. I think that's great, but if the game takes place at least during Alien 3...neither of those locations should exist anymore, since the place went up in a 40 megaton blast "the size of Nebraska," according to Bishop in Aliens. I'll look the other way on continuity goofs, though, as long as the settings are true to the movies. The gameplay's gotta be good too, of course. I keep reading about Sega announcing Aliens "games," the plural being key. We already know about Colonial Marines. Any inklings about what the deal is with the other game(s)?

AtticGamer Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 The Derelict may or may not have been destroyed by the explosion since we don't know its distance to the colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm sure the Derelict was fairly close since that land rover with Newt and crew didn't go TOO far to run into it. I'm pretty sure it was destroyed by the explosion of the facility. That explosion was like hundreds of nukes going off. Enough to rattle the dropship when it was already IN SPACE! I loved the AvP series on the PC. If this is anything like it, it will be WONDERFUL. I remember staying up late many nights playing multiplayer on AvP........those were some awesome games we had.

xenomorpher Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Multiplayer on AVP for PC was incredible. I really wish they made a console port or make an "updated" version someday with great online capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticGamer Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Looks great and very faithful to the movie(s), pity the facehugger only has 6 legs instead of 8. This better not get canceled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This better not get canceled! I think they still have eight legs, it's just a weird angle. That'd be an incredibly dumb thing to skimp on; everyone would notice immediately, and everyone would riot about it (myself included). If you look closely at some of the facehuggers in the background, it looks like they have eight legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Giving facehuggers six legs?! Thats like wolverine having 2 claws per hand! It'll be noticeable to us AvP geeks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 That one particular image...number 2.....with the motion tracker was FUCKING AWESOME!!! Like perfect translation from the movie. I always liked that motion tracker and wanted one. Since we're on the subject of the Colonial Marines, who's everyone's favorite from the movie? Mine was everyone's favorite badass, Drake!!! I got pissed when he got burned to death. " Let's ROCK!!!!" " YEA!!!!!" " Who's firing?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got pissed when he got burned to death. Wierzbowski. Drake was badass, as was Vasquez of course. I think that's prerequisite to being a smartgunner. You've gotta be badass. Apone was pretty hardcore too. I dunno, man. I think Ripley's actually my favorite. Loading up with about a hundred pounds of weaponry duct-taped together to go back into the alien hive inside a fusion reactor on the verge of exploding, just to try to find someone who in all likelihood isn't even alive...I don't think even Drake would do that.

AtticGamer Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sorry my bad, they have 8 legs, the last image just has the facehugger kinda of hiding the bottom leg behind another. Favorite marine? Vasquez of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ripley wasn't a marine. Just another deep space pilot for Weyland-Yutani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osbo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Apone and Vazquez all the way! Apone was a real sergeant in the us military btw I'd love to see this made, I'm a big fan of the first two Alien movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I like the first two movies also. But unlike many others, I'm also a fan of the third movie. I liked it ALOT!!!! Maybe if they didn't butcher the original version to death, other people would have liked it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbo Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Alien, I like the Directors Cut edition, Aliens just plain rocks, the third one was kinda weird IMO, and Alien resurrection was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hope this isn't too off-topic, but anyone have an opinion on "Alien vs Predator: Requiem" for the PSP? Saw this game on sale for $19.99 yesterday at a Flea Market booth and was interested in it but have heard absolutely nothing about the game, gameplay, etc. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think its the worst or one of the worst AVP games ever made. The controls are pretty bad especially when you keep trying to control the camera while you move. I paid full price for it and still regret I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I was one of the only people who liked the AvP pseudo-RTS game on the PS2. I also loved Concrete Jungle. If I ever find either of those for cheap, I'll probably get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
