In one of the previews it mentions that tailing the Alien was the best way to elude it. So maybe the tail is that long for gameplay reasons. To hide an AI that never checks behind itself.  ::)

I think I may have mentioned it before but it bothers me that the tail is so overly long. You can't even see the end of it in this pic:



Agreed, that tail looks ridiculous. Are there any other screenshots that corroborates this? Maybe this was an early WIP?

Must have replied to one of those growth emails.  :P

Then his head would have been bigger.  :laugh:

I really like the actress they motion capped for Amanda Ripley. She reminds me of a Ripley offspring.

Hip's too broad, butt's too big. (unless she inherited those from her father)
This is what Ripley offspring looks like:

Not literally just like Ripley, but I feel like I can see some Ripley in her.

"Like the movie does, it has a very fever dream or nightmare style atmosphere to it, and what it feels like to leave the game for a day and then come back to finish it, or play it again, it immediately felt like I was back into a recurring nightmare."

And just like that, I was completely sold.

Well at the least the Sevastopol will have different "themed" sections of the station - the crew quarters will look different than the more lab/med bay rooms and so on.  It would be great if they took this further and we got some green houses or something.

with that part of the video I like the commentary about needing to break the monotony of playing for hours in one locale and entering something different. (ie, Nostromo to planet side to derrelict corridors to derrelicts egg chamber)
I wouldn't be entirely bummed if they negated this effect in return for a cohesive ship side story but I would actually love to see their take on the derrelict ship if they ever get to the point of going on Lv426 knowing that Ripley had stopped there.

You can see the tail in action there. It's so long the motion is fully tentacle-like. Doesn't look as bulky as in the pic tho. The way it's set up it probably stretches depending on the motion so it'll look a little different in every other image.

They've already got Amanda Ripley in there which is not exactly a small reference.

It is a small reference.  She's a character who has only been glimpsed at for a few seconds in a photograph in the special edition version of the film, and is pretty unknown to the "general consumer."  Not to mention Aliens influence is further negated in that the devs said what we saw in the special edition version of Aliens may not necessarily be the character's same fate (that we the players, shouldn't be so sure that Amanda survives this game because the photo we see in Aliens could be a corporate coverup etc, etc).  Not so much Aliens influence as all small reference to a name we've heard before.

Not enough data to confirm if tail-stabbing or not I'm afraid.

The Alien is different in every film it appears in, why not this one? It's a ten foot one with animal legs and a super long tail. Why not? As long as it works in motion in game, and doesn't keep getting it caught in doors or anything, I'll not lose any sleep over it.
