sorophx Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 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 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe. Expand
Wrath of Dagon Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 No, that's Colonial Marines. There used to be an Aliens forum over here you know, so it's not exactly "nothing". "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan

Kaftan Barlast Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 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.

Morgoth Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Honestly the Aliens (Cameron) setting is wearing out a bit. I'm looking forward when the first games appear using the new Alien prequel settings from Ridley Scott. I heard he wants to re-design the Alien. Rain makes everything better.
Tale Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 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. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Jaesun Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Could we not have a thread about this game. All it does is make me cry and cry and cry and be very very mad at SEGA for canceling it. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
Kaftan Barlast Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 OR... it was worse than Alpha Protocol and was thus canceled for good reason. And Josh is a dirty rotten liar?

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.
Wrath of Dagon Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 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!

funcroc Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) - Obsidian CEO almost talks about canceled Aliens RPG (Sep 17th 2009) by Kevin Kelly, who is currently working for G4 though. Quote 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? - J.E.

sorophx Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 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 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

With worse shooting
Flouride Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Purkake said: With worse shooting 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.
Purkake Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 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.
