Whatever it is, it looks like its trying to be more of a generic "alien mythos" inspired product than perhaps an actual thought-out addition to the lore, Like Isolation for example. However, I am cool with that if it is made with quality.
I am quite certain this will serve as the backdrop for ALien: blackout.

It has been a niche brand for quite some time.
The last successful movie in the cinema was decades ago. A lot of young people who are the target audience of the social media platforms have propably never seen one of the older movies or do not care much for it. They have their own brands and franchises that they grew up with or are growing up with.
I don't think it is much of an indicator of the health of the brand in general. More of a popularity indicator with the younger crowd.

If you're going to want to use the creatures as a weapon, you need to field test them. I think it's a lil' on the daft side having everything branded with W-Y since it makes potential leaks in secrey a bit risky, but I don't think it's out there in the slightest that they would test the Aliens on larger scales. We got that in the old EU too.

That makes it no less "mustache twirly." Perhaps if it's established that the colony is in open rebellion or something, but it's still a stretch that a "field test" of such a cruel weapon would be remotely justifiable.

Given the entire plot of Aliens, such a colony is obviously important enough to warrant military intervention if contact is lost (and that wasn't even close to 1000 people).

The number of colonists is never mentioned in these posts. Where are you getting 1000 colonists from?

Not sure what difference that makes.
Also, since when are we talking about galactic scale? The ECA rep indicated that something over "300 surveyed worlds" was all we had. That's a far cry from colonizing the whole galaxy.

All I'm asking for is a pretext, even if it's some kind of self-deceptive horseshit that's wholly fabricated by the amoral scumbags in charge to assuage the consciences of the non-mustache twirlers in the group.
Haha that's fair!Quote from: Still Collating... on Dec 22, 2018, 09:58:12 PM
At least the Betty crew didn't abduct a thousand colonists, if I'm not mistaken. Easier to cover up.
I just don't buy the scale of it. If it was some colony in the middle of nowhere, with no more than a hundred colonist max, severely underperforming and has no possible future profits, than I'd be okay with it. The one thousand colonists is what's too much for me. Though if it's a rebellion, or has any other well thought out explanation, I'm gonna be thrilled.
The number of colonists is never mentioned in these posts. Where are you getting 1000 colonists from?
Sorry, should've made myself clear.Spoiler
I was going off of the assumption if this turns out to be for the Resistance comic where it's mentioned in a synopsis that there'll be 1000 colonists in danger.[close]

Also, since when are we talking about galactic scale? The ECA rep indicated that something over "300 surveyed worlds" was all we had. That's a far cry from colonizing the whole galaxy.
This.
There has to be pretext somehow.
Otherwise the premise,
based upon what we know in Aliens (1986)
falls flat on it's face.

Looking at the history of our species over the last few thousand years, I don't understand how anyone could think its far fetched.
QuoteThe United States government has apologised for deliberately infecting hundreds of people in Guatemala with gonorrhoea and syphilis as part of medical tests more than 60 years ago.
Quote"It's uncommon to study non-human primates, I never conducted animal research" said Dr Carlsten. "I would speculate that human testing is more common simply because we learn more from the full human organism. That is what we are trying to protect."
QuoteIT is widely recognized that the experiments performed on prisoners in German concentration camps during the Second World War were in fact brutal crimes committed under the guise of medical research. There is controversy, however, about the use of the results obtained from those studies. Among the approximately 30 known projects, the controversy has focused most intensely on the experiments involving hypothermia in humans that were performed at the Dachau concentration camp.
QuoteIn Nazi Germany, disabilities weren't medical issues to be treated or solvedāthey were signs of racial inferiority. Hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities were imprisoned, experimented upon and murdered through a "euthanasia" program that preyed on the physically and mentally ill. The only traces of many victims were brain specimens that were collected for study after their death. And these specimens still exist today.
Quote from: Local Trouble on Sep 10, 2012, 11:11:26 PM
Bishop said the company knew everything that happened on the ship, right? So maybe they knew an alien egg was on board and diverted it to Fury 161, just like they diverted the Nostromo to LV-426.
After all, Fury 161 was a remote, company-owned backwater populated by the dregs of humanity. Maybe they intended to use the place as a laboratory and the prisoners as hosts.
That would explain how the company ship got there so fast: it was already en route when Andrews requested a rescue team.

Quote from: David's Creation on Dec 23, 2018, 05:08:41 AMI'm okay with the Company being cartoonishly evil, and I agree that the Nostromo was sent near LV-426 on purpose, but I was never a fan of the idea that Hadley's Hope was set up specifically for the purpose of Alien breeding. Like, it's one hell of a ridiculous coincidence/plot contrivance that WY would just so happen to put their cartoonishly evil breeding plan into motion right after Ellen Ripley shows up out of the blue, putting her in a position to go and f**k the whole thing up.
I don't have much problem with the company being cartoonishly evil enough to infect a colony on purpose. I'm pretty sure they sent the Nostromo near LV-426 and colonized it just to sacrifice employees for specimens anyway.

I'm pretty sure they sent the Nostromo near LV-426 and colonized it just to sacrifice employees for specimens anyway. I'm even more certain of this after the Advent short film. They knew David had created something terrible out there and they wanted it.
My problem is that Aliens: Resistance has to take place before Aliens. It would be fine if it took place after Aliens, but if Amanda Ripley is still alive, it must take place before.
So W-Y completely contained the aliens, bred them in captivity, and bombed a colony with them for research. This paints the company as being way more resourceful, capable, & knowledgeable than they appear to be thirty years later in Aliens. Doesn't make sense.

My point is the Company - or one uninformed person in the Company - was willing to send the colonists to see if there was something as dangerous described, risking the loss of a colony and then had the influence to go along on the follow-up mission. I don't think the loss of colonies is that big of an issue for them in the future.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 23, 2018, 10:16:51 AMI never said the whole galaxy but 300 worlds is still a lot compared to a single world. People/Governments/Militaries get away with plenty of wrongdoings and mass killing on the one world. I don't find it hard to conceive it's doable when you've got hundreds of worlds, many with a population equalling a small town. That's not many fish lost in a large ocean.
QuoteIt may not be a big issue for the company, but it probably is for the ECA. Otherwise, Ripley's threats about having Burke nailed to the wall wouldn't have carried much weight, would they?

I believe Alien Isolation's Novelisation is what I'm half right about,
the other half likely being the Defiance continuation- Resistance.

Right? Why get excited when there is new material being released featuring my favorite franchise? the franchise I enjoy so much i became a member of a fansite just to talk about it.
I know, such a strange reaction for a fan to have.

If Prometheus soured you, I don't blame you.
It was a MASSIVE missed opportunity.
Quote from: The Old One on Jan 06, 2019, 02:33:50 AM

To me it was about 45%, the visuals are gorgeous-
but there's very little substance.

Quote from: David's Creation on Jan 06, 2019, 03:27:46 AM
Just making sure everyone is aware... but early drafts of Prometheus had an explaination for certain characters being dumb.
Vickers intentionally hired morons in an attempt to sabotage her father's mission to live forever.

The old argument that horror genre characters
have to do stupid stuff for it to qualify as a horror film or work.

Quote from: Perfect-Organism on Jan 06, 2019, 02:52:20 AM
...
I think the issue you're having there is that you have elevated the film to intellectual levels while letting go of the fact that is is still fundamentally rooted in the horror-flick genre. Based on that, it adheres to certain genre tropes. It is the same old thing about a group of teenagers in the woods, and one or two decide to go off on their own.
...
Quote from: The Old One on Jan 06, 2019, 03:41:44 AM
It's not just the characters though- it's the entire plot;
Why would the Engineers leave directions (supposedly)
to a system that they used as a weapons testing facility?
The melodrama between Peter Weyland, and his awful monster mash face
and Meredith Vickers is horribly written.
The Pathogen's space magic goo that can do whatever the plot requires.
Most of the dialogue is also... bad.
Like, Star Wars prequels- "people don't talk like that" bad.
Brett let the cat go, and at that point they were chasing something smaller than a Cat-
they had no way of knowing it could've grown to such ridiculous,
taller than a man proportions- in that time.
Quote from: TC on Jan 06, 2019, 03:38:55 AM
I think Scott's most fundamental error was in not deciding on the kind of film he was making: Ontological study on the nature of creation (ala 2001); or horror thriller (like Alien).
Halfway in-between we got some once-over-lightly schoolboy philosophy, mixed with 80s-style horror-slasher tropes. Together, it has the faint whiff of pretentiousness. He should have committed one way or the other, either way would have worked.

I wouldn't mind seeing a professionally edited film cut of Isolation. Take the existing cinematics and string them together with some new ones, (or use gameplay with HUD removed), to make it a full-fledged animated feature.
It would be a nice inclusion to Alien movie marathons.
I know fan-made movie edits exist on YouTube, but the cinematics are connected with gameplay complete with annoying HUD and button prompts and they aren't usually done very well.

There was a valid reason to falisify Amanda's death. It would stand to reason that WY might want to keep Ripley's return a secret, so that they can keep her focused on debriefing them on the Alien. Also they may want to avoid Ripley going to the media and exposing what WY did. By keeping all hope and motivation to reach out to anyone including her daughter suppressed, WY can keep a lid on things.
Who knows what WY did to Amanda? Maybe she's frozen in a capsule herself?

Subtitles. ;D
I love you. *steals gif for future use*
;) ;D
You know The Old One is really like 6 years old right? It says so on her info page. ;D
lol goofy, this is not supposed to mean anything, other than everytime I see an "I love you" or "I know" in these threads, I post the corresponding Empire Strikes Back gif. Sailing Rabbit can attest to that.

If I were them, I'd put some time between the announcements just to let the outrage from the last one cool down a bit.

*when you know what's coming but can't say anything.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jan 28, 2019, 09:38:24 AMWell if you know what's coming, this joke is discouraging...
I'm wondering if they're just sat there going "what's even the point?"
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jan 28, 2019, 09:48:29 AM
I know vaguely what's coming but I don't know the full details. From what I do know I am looking forward to it. I just mean in terms of people's reactions to everything so far. I'd probably be sat there thinking the same thing. They genuinely believed in Blackout and we all saw that first reaction. I mean it's getting a good reception now but I'd probably be sat there not wanting to go through that shit again.

How do you pronounce it? Seriously.
Quote from: Frosty Venom on Feb 02, 2019, 06:46:17 PM
Surely "watch" at least gets an announcement soon. I guess soon means over a month? This rollout has been quite strange.

It's weird how there has been no mention of read.watch.play in awhile and they're just putting random stuff up on the instagram/twitter/facebook.

It was never going to come at Super Bowl, I'm afraid. As above, those things cost a bomb.

The Tongal rules stipulated they couldn't use pre-establishes characters.

Did I state otherwise? Expecting the Tongal films myself.

The longer people wait, the higher a tier they'll expect though.
Quote from: Local Trouble on Feb 04, 2019, 05:30:23 PM
If anything, I think our expectations are higher since the Disney buyout. We're all expecting an Alien renaissance on par with the MCU.

They probably need to wait until DH's licenses run out first. However long that may take.

Totally!
But I just checked Kezia Burrows IMDB page and she has completely different projects in the pipe.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Feb 05, 2019, 08:08:12 AMAgreed! Her voice definitely reflects some of Sigourney Weaver's qualities as well, very believable as her daughter. Great performance.
Personally, I think Deck is more important to the role than Burrows. Deck is the recognisable voice.
Quote from: Gutter In Outer Space on Feb 05, 2019, 05:48:56 PM
As for the idea of a live action Alien Isolation, I think it's totally unnecessary. Some things are meant to be experienced in their respective art forms due to their core structure relying on it's mechanics. Much of Alien Isolation is spent cautiously creeping around Sevastapol, which wouldn't translate well to film in any impactful way. Sure, they could rearrange the act structure and write in more build-up and downtime for cinematic reasons, but then they'd be skewing the point of adapting it at all, in my opinion.

So confirmed #watch is the 7 episodes of animated Alien Isolation-related series?
Quote from: SM on Feb 21, 2019, 05:15:27 AM
Is it?
Quote from: Voodoo Magic on Feb 20, 2019, 08:57:53 PM
So, true?
Sources tell us that an R-rated animated series based on the video game Alien: Isolation is being developed for a seven-episode run. The series apparently hails from Axis Animation, which also did the VFX work on the game, and could arrive as early as April. We're told the digital series may make its home on the Alien website, though that remains unknown at this time.

Who is that quote from? This is actually pretty much what I expected "Watch" to be so I'm hyped! I figured it had to be animated as it'd be harder to contain leaks if it were live action. And I also assumed it'd be a 7-10 episode streaming series.
