Alien: The Game - Creative Assembly

[Warbie]

Shameless plug for my brother's new game - he's lead character artist:

It's looking like a console only release and there should be more to come soon.

 

[Stormy]

I'm about to apply for a job there.

So is most of Black Rock

 

[Warbie]

:/ gl with that m8. They've been taking on a bunch of people from different companies recently.

 

[Gargantou]

What's Black Rock? Never heard of it.

Also, god-damnit Sega, I want Aliens: Colonial Marines and I want it now!

Still, I'll be happy to play any Alien(s) game if it is good, best of luck to the team I guess.

Let's hope it doesn't end up like Aliens RPG and cancelled some way into development.

Edit: Black Rock is the guys who made Pure!? Best of luck to those guys indeed, Pure is one of my fav racers of all time, so much fun!

 

[Stormy]

Pure and S/S and then disney binned us all last week! Sucks

Its a small world. I know a few folk from CA, really nice bunch of guys. Did your bro do characters on total war too?

 

[Barnz]

stupid sega is stupid, where is my colonial marines

 

[Warbie]

Did your bro do characters on total war too?

Yeah, he did the troops and animals in Rome.

Idk you worked at black rock stormy. I'm so sorry

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Damn Stormy. Was looking forward to S/S2. Hate to see you got laid off. Good luck man.













also eeeee Alien yes please

 

[MJ12]

If they could make an Alien game Penumbra/ Amnesia style that would be scary as what.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Yeah, he did the troops and animals in Rome.

Ohh, that's cool..

though since this isn't Colonial Marines or a Total War game, I'll wait for screens and whatnot.

you should ask him what TW game they're working on next

So much this. I can imagine having to run away from an alien in a similar fashion to running away from the water monster in Amnesia.

This.... sounds promising. Some sort of open world where you have to avoid the creature and maintain barricades/quarantine and gather supplies.
Then you lure it into the airlock and kill it, but killing it the standard way destroys the ship. This might be really good

Stop getting my hopes up

I want a f***ng adventure game. Alien is about story, mystery and exploration. That's what adventure games are for. It cannot be an action game, because when you face the alien, you simply die.

 

[Barnz]

**** your adventure shit, I want my action game. if you really want something like alien, go play system shock. that's the closest thing you can get.

 

[Krynn72]

What has creative assembly done besides the total war games?

 

[Warbie]

Spartan: Total Warrior and Viking: Battle for Asgard. The console team has been slowly growing over the years and is now a decent size - they have their own floor rather than being hidden away

I really enjoyed Viking btw - it would have been even better if not hurried out the door.

 

[Paulaner]

**** your adventure shit, I want my action game.

You youngsters...

You do realize Colonial Marines is still being worked on, right?

 

[Barnz]

I already know that, but we still don't have the game. It's been five years. Sega is just wasting their money and time on shitty products.

You youngsters...

Who you calling youngster, kiddo? I've been playing adventure game since the early 90s. We don't need a shitty Alien adventure game. We need a good Aliens action game, done right.

 

[Paulaner]

Go play some early Infocom game from the 80s and you can call yourself a real adventurer. Just joking man

And, yes, we need an Alien game that it's not the same old Dead Space shooter.

Also: please, don't bring back that lame Alien/Predator concept. Alien is Alien. Predator is Predator. Two different franchises. The second one, easily forgettable.

I thought I heard somewhere that it'd been scrapped...if not this is good news!
