- Jun 09, 2015, 10:30:34 AMOk so since chatting about it I decided to try crew expendable, this is the first time I have played since A few weeks after the game came out I think. It's at niggt, lights off, surround sound headphones, hard mode... I just paused it right now waiting for my heart rate to come down. All I did was throw a flare to get aroud the alien lol..

But I still haven't even touched Crew expendable because that vent section just seems way too much to be honest. Call me a sissy if you want but having that thing stalk you in the vents is a terrifying prospect, especially with lamberts useless "Youre gonna have to be careful" (duh) comment, laughed my ass off when I heard that line watching it on youtube.
I've tried half a dozen times but I can't even get past the first appearance of the alien on the crew expendable dlc because I know it leads to a sequence in the vents. It's like I know the experience is going to be too terrifying for me regardless if i complete it or not, making it not worth doing.

lol what a crapload of bullshit. They could have just said "Hey, we are forced to use lame adi material, so even a human born alien will feature the always awful ditigrade legs and their crap alien resurrection/avp sounds. We're sorry folks. It's just those dumbf**ks at Fox all over again. We really wanted to portray the alien as It was in the first film, but they didn't allow us"
I think you really don't understand how anatomy works in relation to being in intimate constant interaction with it, over the potential span of hours.
You can't achieve this
with this
Because the human leg can only provide you as far as it was evolved to provide, and that's not be an active sufficient hunter, or just because it "looks neat", to have a human being in a costume running around with a phallic head. It doesn't work, it's been proven it doesn't work, and Alien Isolation further proved it couldn't work, for their game. They had to make up for it in Alien with heavy lighting and cutting down the scenes with the Alien. In Aliens, they sped up and reversed film, and cut it in quick shots, not to give the illusion of, what? what? A man in a suit. They could have done it, I actually agree with you, but the end result would have looked exactly like behind the scenes footage, and what Ridley Scott and James Cameron wanted to avoid to begin with.

- Mar 16, 2015, 03:29:02 PMf**k off, Fox hardly forced them to use the ADI legs. Fox doesn't give a toss about that kinda stuff.
And the Digitgrade legs on the AI Alien are perfect and extremely Gigeresque, in fact I used to hate them too due to A:R but I like them so much I hope they just Retcon all Aliens with human feet in the first two films (Since we rarely, if ever see their feet.) to have the AI feet.
Fox cares about the Alien's design, haha, next you'll be telling me jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

It is not a Resurrection/AVP Alien in any sense. The legs were done because of animation issues but other than that,

QuoteWe were also shown the level of detail that has gone into the animation and the fluidity that model is capable of with the animation. During this demonstration we also discussed the changes to the Alien's legs – this was primarily to reduce the feeling of "man-in-a-suit" and with some of the animations I was being shown and the speed in which they were taking the Alien to, I can completely understand.
The animation of the turns and movement changes the Alien was doing at such great speeds looked fantastic with the digigrade legs. All of the animations looked completely fluid and worked so well.

QuoteCorporal Hicks: Now for the question. I'm sure you were expecting it. The legs... because everybody wanted it asked. With places like us, as fans, we are going to nit-pick and so far the only thing that seems to have really made people ask "why" is the legs?
Al Hope: So this is really interesting because we had that conversation over many months as we actually prototyped almost every type of leg imaginable. We initially did go "right, okay, we're making a game based on Alien so it's going to be the original alien and we're going to recreate that". What we found out very early on was that it looked like what it is which is a man in a rubber suit.
It was so beautifully shot and absolutely immaculately edited in that first film. You don't actually see very much and what you perceive is really really powerful but when you look at the first alien, full-length, it is a guy in a suit because it was a guy in a suit and so our first alien was that and it was fine but it just did look like a man. It looked humanoid to the point that if he was running at you, it would look like a guy running.
We needed the creature to be very fluid in its movement, very capable in its movement and able to manoeuvre over objects and the world very rapidly and very seamlessly. When we tried with the humanoid legs, it looked like a guy doing parkour. It was a guy crawling over a space whereas the power of the alien is this otherness, this mystery. It's quite an unpleasant quality to it that we weren't getting with the straight reproduction of that first alien.
