With the release of Aliens – Infestation looming at the end of the month (October for the US), slowly we’ve been having previews show up online but nothing really new until this:
“In the late ’80s, the famous sci-fi author William Gibson wrote a script for Alien 3 that never wound up getting filmed. You can find it […]and someone involved with development of Aliens: Infestation apparently did, because they used some of Gibson’s story ideas for the game. In other words, the development team is hardcore. “
This comes from an article in Nintendo Power. The article also talked about the Union of Progressive People, another element from Gibson’s script. It’s something I’m really curious & excited about. Thanks to Sexy Poot for the scans.
But I get the point of what you're saying. I think it makes more sense to buy this game if you already own a DS. Wayforward has already admitted can be completed in a day by experienced gamers...I don't think there is enough going on with Aliens Infestation that would warrant or justify an entire purchase of a new Nintendo DS (even though some people will do just that).
I would understand it more if this was 1994 and Aliens vs Predator had just come out for the Atari Jaguar. Until that point nobody had ever seen a proper Aliens-based fps. Haha...it probably would've been the only Jaguar game I would've owned too. But in 2011 there has been a stream of 2D/3D games based on Aliens that have hit the console market since the 1990s, making this one look more run-of-the-mill to the average gamer.
Thankfully, I bought my DS back in 2006. Infestation just gives me a reason to dust it off and play another cool game for the system.
I'm probably more interested in Gibson talking about this game in some interview rather than the game itself
