Yesterday’s announcement revealed that the recently trademarked Alien: Blackout was for a new iOS and Android game due out at the end of January. It also had some confirmation of a long suspected aspect of the still shrouded in mystery game that Cold Iron Studios is still working on: That it’s an MMO-shooter.
Tucked in at the end of the press release announcing Alien: Blackout, is the single sentence confirming the expectations:
FoxNext Games’ studio, Cold Iron Studios, is also currently at work on a massively multiplayer online shooter set in the Alien cinematic universe for consoles and PC.
Cold Iron Studios’ Alien game has previously been described as an “action-packed persistent world,” and now we have actual confirmation of an MMO format for the upcoming release. While only speculation on my part, I think this makes it seem likely that the upcoming game will follow a Destiny-style format.

He's not on our team for this MMO, though.
Yup! Nothin' but love for my homeboy.

Don't be sorry. Me and Voodoo are buddies.

Skin = character model you use in a game.
Sorry, Huggs.
Would this skin pack answer the question of what happens if a vampire bites a Predator?

"Did we just become best friends?!"
Now this is a skin pack I would pay for!
Pretty sure marines will have tons of customisation, but i dont think xenos will be a playable faction.
If this is gonna be like destiny, we will have humans vs xenos (IA), with tons of missions. But add black goo + enginners to the xeno faction, so enemy types will be endless
For Aliens being a playable game, it will require some kind of node/map control...like planetside, or wwii online campaing kind of games...i dont they will choose that kind of gameplay
Sold. I want to see servers full of them.

I like the way you think.
What about his character in Near Dark? Could vampires be immune to facehuggers?
Neither! We send in Chet!

Would we get a Lambert model? Or do we just give Hudson a hat and revolver?

See? I have good ideas.
Or, we can recreate the Predator 2 experience by kicking ass on a subway and chasing people in buildings.
Just a suggestion.
That's what I'm figuring. 12 Months down the road Predators, maybe their homeworld, maybe their hunting reserve planet, will all be part of a paid expansion.
Speaking of which, if this MMO actually takes off I wonder how long before the fans clamoring for some AvP action in it will get their wish.
& Rogue One's alright.
I know it is brother.
I figured that's what you meant.
I meant to say OT and prequel trilogy.
Granted, but it's time well-spent. Ask anyone.
Dead Space requires a much bigger commitment than a 1h 48m movie though.
But there are 10 Star Wars movies, soooo.
But your backlog paralysis may prevent you from ever seeing them. You have my sympathies.
"What are you backlogged on today?"
"I haven't seen Terminator One or Two, I still haven't gotten any action figures, I haven't seen Twister, and I haven't played AvP 2010."
Welcome to Backloggers Anonymous.
Dropping some truth here.
For me or Hicks.
Make the time man! Make the time!
That damn backlog!
No, I haven't.
I'm still green to this.
It's totally natural. Most call it the "Cameron Effect". Have you not heard of his behavior onset?
This I already knew about.
There's gotta be stories about what they did to his hair. That's freakin' golden.
And I will continue to do so until you do!!
And if Hicks starring role can't get you to watch The TERMINATOR, then maybe Hudson's small part can!

Dead space was one of the first games I played of the 360/ps3 generation, the first time playing it is one of my favorite gaming memories. I enjoyed 2 and 3, but the first had that alien vibe to it, the spaceship atmosphere on it was unique. Considering that not even its sequels were able to replicate that... the chances of a new alien game doing it are low.
No snippets of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
I have no memory of my life before knowing The Terminator or Aliens lol.
