This needs a bump after all these years.
Video games are about art. There is nothing in my mind that is as valuable as the skill of artists. They are the ones who take us to other worlds, make us lost in fantasy. It is such a shame that brilliant artists like Craig Mullins, Lorin Wood, Syd Mead, Pablo Palomeque, Shawn Spetch and all the others who make these wonderful worlds are not the highest paid in the chain.
In addition when a game is released with bugs or with false pretenses, their wonderful -painstaking- work gets ignored or forgotten.
Just imagine an Aliens movie or game that takes place in the worlds created in the images above.
As opposed to Ridley's movies nowadays (here's yet another group of people getting eaten on a spaceship).
Imagine an Aliens 5 where the whole locations are as fleshed out as in these pictures. Taking us back to Aliens Book One and Book Two.
Neil Blomkamp, why didn't you manage.

Shout out to the artists!
