Well we all know it’s been very quiet on the Colonial Marines front but don’t mind them. Looks like we’ve got another Alien based game on the way:
“Total War developer Creative Assembly is making a game based on the Alien franchise. At a press event at Creative Assembly’s Horsham, West Sussex base this morning the developer revealed it is hiring for the project, which it said was for a “console core game”.
I’m not overly familar with the Total War series but it looks to be an RTS series. Could we be seeing a more epic Aliens vs Marines RTS? Watch this space. You can see the entire announcement at EuroGamer. Just from Creative Assembly’s website, it looks like this will be done under Sega too. Thanks to the few emails and tweets on the news.
Halo Wars would like a word with you.
Are you super serial?
That said, these guys say Sega said it'll be coming to consoles. I'm waiting back on a response from Sega.
I hope we play as human i hate to take alien sides .. kinda like avp games... human is best for me.
I just hope its more horror than action... of course bring in the action, we cant have a alien game without some kind of action.. but i just hope its done right.
and huol up there its cool
Oh, whoops didn't see the edited post.
Odd news.
I wonder if we'll play as a human or an alien in this game. If we play as a human, it would be fun to have the same sort of scanario as in Alien, were you would be unarmed and try to survive against the Alien. could be pretty intense.
i could get a job on an aliens game!!
now if only i was a game developer, had any appropriate skills, and could drive.
if it is alien based, i'm thinking it will be mostly horror with little or no action at all, probably lots of puzzles, which would be interesting, since most survival horror games have gone the action route recently
Dead space isn't scary.
Lol. tbh i don't mind this. Even if it was a total war game.
But anyway. Awesome stuff. Hope it uses sounds from the movie.
resident evil operation raccoon city.
im not sure how well that will work in a alien game, hmm but lets wait an see for more information.
Or if they talk like uuum in scaryness... and the whole horror feeling to it then i cant see how it can fit with just alien...
Because dead space 2 is a pretty action packed game ..so it would make more sense to put it up with aliens
but oh well lets wait an see.
Interesting.
