CA's Alien Design: Yay or Nay?

[Mr. Clemens]

I would vote 'I like it', but not 'til we get an official answer as to why the legs were changed.

The closest we've got so far is "it was clear that the man-in-a-suit look wasn't going to work for us". Well, that doesn't work for me - this isn't a film where everything's begin done in-camera, it's a computer game where there are any number of animation tricks they could utilize to make the Alien look less man-in-a-suit.

I don't hate the new design - it's still far and away the best-looking Alien I've seen in a game. But until we get a specific, official answer regarding the changes, I can't make myself take a side.

If they can get the original legs to look and animate well great. If not it's not that big of deal to me, though it would be nice if they could get more humanoid looking feet on the try-jointed legs.

I'm actually slightly more annoyed by some other features being off such as the dorsal tubes being too far apart on the back (the top ones are at the right height), the tongue being much too small, and there being no closed lips. There are some smaller issues, such as the weird tube that connects the sternum and the neck with seem kind of needless changes to me, but none of these issues are going to be too off-putting.

They should hire locusta as some kind of consultant.  Apparently, he designed an accurate 3D model of Giger's alien once.

[MrSpaceJockey]

Hey, I'm legitimately impressed.

[gabgrave]

I like the looks of that model... except that I don't really feel much fear towards it? Kinda reminds me of Species as well, with those delicious hips and slim calves... Would tap that ass-

...Did I suddenly feel horny from an Alien design? Time for a SAN check...

[LastSurvivor92]

Perfectorganism, I think that design is perfect! Its beautiful yet terrifying. I love it.

NAY NAY NAY!!!!!!

They claim they are making the alien more dangerous in this game than in ACM.   UTTER BS!!!

I would like to see them explain how ONE ALIEN WILL FAIL TO KILL ONE NEARLLY UNARMED HUMAN FOR 8-12 HOURS!!!!

[The1PerfectOrganism]

Wow that's narrow minded.

[Le Celticant]

That's basically the story of every alien movie...

[The1PerfectOrganism]

Yup, exactly why you're supposed to fear them.

What about a completely unarmed little girl surviving for several weeks?

Except the alien is constantly killing other characters.  In the case of this game from the sceneros shown its just you.  And you easily hid from it behind a table or locker.  The aliens have senory organs that would have detected her except Kanes son apparently.  Lets be real the alien is probably Kanes Son...

Ummmm.. no that's really stupid & the Space station is full of people as well as you having brought your own crew.
