J.E. Sawyer Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 This is a game about destroying thousands upon thousands of aliens. http://www.sigma-team.net/alienshooter_2/index.htm Demo patch that removes time limit. http://files.filefront.com/as2demo%20eng%2...;/fileinfo.html Now on Steam http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?ar...&AppId=6290 twitter tyme
Surreptishus Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Ladies and gentlemen... the long anticipated Alien game.
J.E. Sawyer Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 Well, it's coming out in the U.S. on the 5th as Alien Shooter: Vengeance, so they beat us to market by about two years. twitter tyme
Diogo Ribeiro Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks, Josh Is the time trial removal legal? The screens reminded me of Alien Breed Tower Assault.
Sargallath Abraxium Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ...looks, uhhh, riveting...thinks I's'll pass, though... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
Tale Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Since their forum has a sticky on how to remove the time limit, I would guess... A) That it is legal. B) That it is not legal. C) Put it in. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Arkan Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Any videos? Depending on the pace and control of the game, it could be great. Screens look pretty cool, at least. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Tale Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 The last overhead shooter I played was Demolition Man (which also had side scrolling levels). It was awesome, but I don't know that I can stomach that gameplay anymore. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Gorgon Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 So thats pretty much what you are gonna make right, except prettier. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
alanschu Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Well, it's coming out in the U.S. on the 5th as Alien Shooter: Vengeance, so they beat us to market by about two years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, sometimes it's not who did it better, but rather who did it first. I strongly suggest dropping the Alien game, since it's like, doomed and all that now.
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks, Josh Is the time trial removal legal? The screens reminded me of Alien Breed Tower Assault. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Team 17 guys REALLY wanna make another Alien Breed game, infact they made one for the PS2, using the BG : DA engine I believe, yet publishers wouldn't touch it...

Hell Kitty Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 That was great. Reminds me of the game Shadowgrounds, only more satisfying.
Diamond Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Shadowgrounds was so atrocious that I deleted it after 8 minutes of playing the demo.
Hell Kitty Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I didn't mind the demo of Shadowgrounds, but felt it was more than enough. I finished the demo of AS2 when I was only getting started.
alanschu Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 That's pretty much exactly the same way I felt about Shadowgrounds. I really enjoyed the demo, and I considered buying it. Then I realized that I had enjoyed the demo for what it was, and didn't really feel a huge desire to play much further. I'll have to give this AS2 demo a whirl then.
LostStraw Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I didn't like the shadowgrounds demo at all ::bleh:: I had a good bit of fun playing through the demo of this game. However, I can see it getting boring if it's all mass slaughter aliens ++.

Noceur Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Hah, the Alien Shooter: Vengeance is wicked. Thanks for the tip, I was looking for something rather mindless like this. ps. Man, I don't visit for a month or so and the forum UI has totally metamorphed... I smell gnomes at work.
J.E. Sawyer Posted July 15, 2007 Author Posted July 15, 2007 I really wish I could pay to download the hardcore version. I don't want to hunt around stores to get a copy. Maybe I should just order one from Uncle Flim's Online Game Emporium. twitter tyme
Morgoth Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Oh boy that was some primitive stuff. It's like I'm playing a game from the early 90s again. But the splatter-effects were nicely done. I hope Obsidian's Alien will have some gruesome splatter-effects, too. Yes! Rain makes everything better.
Aram Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 I was getting really upset with the first level until I realized there was a car.
