Well Ill start of by saying even this RPG does seem realistic, as long as it does not turn out to be Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction knockoff. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This has already been ruled out by the lead designer, as Obidian don't have the rights to the Predator IP.

we're not making an AvP game, so the Yautja aren't part of "our" universe for practical purposes.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I agree with some people in a sense that the mantra of the original Alien design, to Giger

I can't wait for an Alien RPG where I can finally roleplay an alien with great dialogue trees.

 

[Intimidate] Hiss! Fschzz!
[Bribe] Hiss! Fschzz!
[Persuade] Hiss! Fschzz!
[Insight] Hiss! Fschzz!

 

After two rushed products, fortunately this time Obsidian has lots of time to finish the game.

 

Well, at least we'll know that Aliens won't be the only bugs we'll find.

Yes hopefully they will have a decent amount of time to finish the game at a good pace and not rushed.

Wow...I'm glad for pt. 2, I couldn't be bothered to read the 52 other pages and the information at the top of the thread is pretty interesting...

Is this RPG going to use aspects of the NWN2 engine?

 

In addition to forcing 30fps during all builds, I also hope someone forces the dev team to ensure ceilings don't obscure views when walking into rooms and buildings. Some (not all) of the comments made by Jeff Green in his review were bang-on for NWN2.

 

And if the dev team is going to offer a driving cam mode, I hope at least one dev plays the entire game through at least once in that camera mode using WASD keys + mouse.

 

Otherwise, congrats to Obsidian for obtaining this project, and chances are I will be buying the game; it's going to be hard for me to pass up an Alien RPG for which Chris Avellone will be doing a lot of the writing. Actually, this, in of itself, is making me look forward to the game.

 

Later,

P.S. I agree with the person who stated what made the first film so horrific was the sense of isolation and atmosphere that was built up at the beginning of the film. The second film felt far more akin to an action flick to me than a horror movie.

 

P.P.S. I hope nothing Obsidian develops ever comes close to being as terrible as Oblivion (sincerely); I don't mind open-ended games, but I hate crappy dialogue and crappy writing (and I type this knowing that taste in art, including writing, is relatively subjective).

Don't think so...

Far as I am aware Josh didn't say that 30fps was going to be in all builds, what he actually said was if the FPS drops below 20fps during development they would crash the program.

 

The target FPS should be more akin to 60fps on a good top end system.

If I remember right the Alien RPG will be using the new Unreal 3 engine.

It isn't using the NwN2 Electron-Aurora engine, it is Something Else.

Do you have any idea when you'll be revealing more details? Things are a little quiet in the AvP community and we've got 4 odd companies working on new products! You'd have thought that one of them would be active on the news front

It is Unreal Engine 3.

It should use Source. <_<

We'll most likely get news once Obsidian gets it's next project out. I guess next year earliest, since there was alrady rumours about a presentation of an unknown game by Obsidian during the next E3. If you ask me, it's going to be Project New Jersey, since it has been in production the longest and it's high time there's some real info.

Moderator spam.

Yeah, we really don't care here. :D Most of the mod are from the member fold.

 

It could be K3.

Kotor 3?

 

I'm probably in the minority for hoping not! Nothing against Star Wars, but so many little things about KOTOR that irk me (Kolto, people throwing around the label Sith like it's going out of style, the way Mandalorians look), I'd rather see a new Star Wars RPG series started. And I did like KOTOR.

I think the reasons you listed are meaningless, but I still wouldn't like another KotOR. Simply because I'd wish to see a new IP, instead of an existing one.

I am all for a new IP. Something cyberpunkish. :D

Kotor 3.

I would love to play a real Shadowrun rpg or Arcanum2 stylish game.

But Alien rpg hmm, sounds intriguing.

I just hope Obsidian finally gets enough time to finish and fine tune their latest title. *sniff*

How do they see without eyes? Some sort of alternate enhanced sense, I suppose.

 

Didn't they have eyes in the films?

No eyes.

I watched a nature show on Hammerhead sharks tonight. (They have eyes.) Sharks have a nifty sixth sense whereby they can pick up variations in electric current (nanovolt fluctuations), to help guide them to living things (food) and for navigation (basaltic lava forming large polarized lines of alternating magnetic stripes as the Earth's magnetic pole flips every few tens of thousands of years).
