it would be an action game from Obsidian (!) based on Aliens (!!) where you play as a space marine (!!!) - can't lose with that setup.

 

I loved The Thing (the 2000's video game), it had good story, good missions, good interface, good combat. I expected more of the same from this Aliens RPG

No, that's Colonial Marines. There used to be an Aliens forum over here you know, so it's not exactly "nothing".

Compared to Alien Versus Predator 3, the graphics look like they're missing a lot of detail. I see flat, non-reflective surfaces where there should be loads of greebling and shiny metal. Though its hard to tell from still frames.

Why are you guys all so enthusiastic?

Because it was a marriage of my two greatest passions.

 

Okay, maybe not two greatest. That would be some sort of Xenogears movie directed by Ridley Scott. But it's definitely up there!

Or because some people don't approach games with a carefully cultivated aura of ennui and superiority? ;)

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Alien is my preferred Alien. Though I also like how Cameron presents (at least Ripley's interpretation of) their threat. "if one of those things gets down here..."

 

The constant barrage of marines mowing down hives kind of downplays that.

OR... it was worse than Alpha Protocol and was thus canceled for good reason. And Josh is a dirty rotten liar? :lol:

Exactly!

 

But being a little more serious, I understand why for Tale is a loss, being an Alien fan, and I can understand that the concept has a lot of potential but... but.... there's nothing in those screenshots that tells us anything aside from the perspective and the fact that the Onyx engine looks nicer now.

It's clear it was going to be a serious Sci-Fi RPG (of which there are none), also it looks nothing like Mass Effect, which is always a huge plus!

- Obsidian CEO almost talks about canceled Aliens RPG (Sep 17th 2009) by Kevin Kelly, who is currently working for G4 though.

Feargus Urquhart: It's a tough thing for us, because it means we're all still under a non-disclosure agreement, at least for awhile. We have our ideas, but they're purely opinions and they could be absolutely wrong. The NDA was two years past termination, so talk to us in February 2011.

The NDA will be terminated next week?

they should make a survival/horror game in space in an original setting that copies Aliens as much as possible without putting the company under the threat of multiple lawsuits, ASAP. like, drop everything they're doing and work on that

I would die to play Obsidian's RPG in original horror Sci-Fi setting

Then they'd just be accused of ripping off Dead Space!

With worse shooting :grin:

I don't think it's possible to make a worse shooter than Dead Space was on PC. Controlling that game with kb + mouse was such a drag I quit after 30 minutes.

Hate the living, love the dead.

There was a pretty quick fix for that.

 

Imagine that shooting with a skill-based dynamic crosshair and you have recipe for lowest review scores yet.
