Aliens RPG Gameplay Footage

[funcroc]

A post by Josh Verrall, former Obsidian programmer

 

"Hmm, I don't think that's the most current footage from the time of cancellation, the HUD doesn't look right, and the game certainly was dark, but not black screen dark. But that can depend on how it was recorded.

 

It was definitely more action oriented, akin to Mass Effect."

For those that missed it, this thread on the Codex has some good info on Aliens RPG. Anthony Davis chimes in on page two. Unfrotunately, Roshambo hijacks the discussion later on.

 

Oh, but be careful - the link is very much not safe for work, including a picture of, uh, masturbating xenomorph. Tread lightly.

And I though I could be a hater at times.

[Starwars]

That thread should be burned in the fires of hell. Just when I thought I had forgotten about it.

[Volourn]

Coulda should woulda. Game may have had potential but it got canceled for good reason. Let the deadm lie dead. AP is where it is at.

BTW, could someone elaborate on what you would've based stealth? These are sweat smelling, integrated night vision wielding aliens after all.

 

Keep reading

 

In a nutshell, at some point in the thread, Davis replaces the term "stealth" with "recon", which makes a bit more sense.

 

Besides, I believe Aliens weren't the only kind of enemy.

That rpgcodex thread and most people who wrote in it should be shot into sun.

 

Hard to say anything about the game based on just one alpha build video. Lighting seemed fine, but other than that can't really say anything.

Sure, you can. Oh, you eamn, you can only praise it not diss it based on video right?

 

Anyways, thje video is alright. Nothing special.

I don't visit the Codex often but... Dear God, so much hate in that thread. What is that place? Do they like anything?

I think they still live in like 1998. Anything made after that makes them cry.

[Matthew Rorie]

Just to be clear, this is from an extremely early pre-production build.

"I don't visit the Codex often but... Dear God, so much hate in that thread. What is that place? Do they like anything?"

 

It's the Codex. They hate everything pretty much. Even the games that are well liked there are hated on.

 

Codex has a saying:"If you like a game, it very likely sucks." (not exact quote)

[Sannom]

Aren't you there too Volourn? On-site Bioware fanboy and anti-Bioware hater or something

 

Alas when it comes to Obsidian there are two absolute haters on that board. One of them even has his sig to say it!

[deleteduser]

There's hating a game, and then there's hating a preproduction build. And then there's hating something to be in the "cool" minority of internet rebels and toughguys.

 

Anyway, that video sure does bring back memories!

</3 Sega

[vault_overseer]

I don't like codex crowd either, but cross-site bashing is not cool.

 

I prefer to leave places like that alone.

[Volourn]

"Aren't you there too Volourn? On-site Bioware fanboy and anti-Bioware hater or something "

 

My opinions don't change depending on the board I'm on. My posting style does. If people think I can be a jerk here, they shouldn't read my posts on the Codex.

 

The Aliens game footage itself is fine for what it is. Definitely notm worth so much hate. I do laugh at the PC running back and simply watching their ally being attacked and presumably slaughtered. L0L

Time to leak a more recent one then.

[Tigranes]

Actually, I like the Codex Volo better. It's more chaotic.

 

I'm sure theres a more recent thing that may be leaked later on..

Like the beer I drank earlier.

Still reading that retard thread. Guys, I have an idea. If you do release the design docs, first take a red pen and write with big words all over the stealth section:

HAHAHA IT'S STILL CALLED STEALTH AND WILL BE FOREVER CRYYYY ROSH CRYYYYYYYYY QQ FOREVER MWAHAHAHA AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT EXCEPT CUT YOUR WRIST AND POST CRYING YOUTUBE VIDS B****

 

 

or something. ^^

Srsly, crying and b****ing this much over a design doc title. -.-

Srsly, crying and b****ing this much over something that looked like crying and b****ing this much over a design doc title.

It's good to know the aspies have fans now too.

[Hassat Hunter]

Even if the movie was pretty bad (probably related to it's very early pre-production state), it's a true shame the game got canned. It had promise...
