Quote from: aliens13 on Yesterday at 09:54:40 PMIt would be best if David knocked out Oram and then get him to the egg chamber to get face hugged, but well it is what it is

This. Oram should have gotten the treatment that Shaw did in the earlier Prometheus drafts where David literally held a facehugger over her.

Quote from: Bobblen on Today at 09:11:48 AMOne thing I'm particularly pleased with about the presentation is that the 3d mesh, models and textures are literally pulled from DOS Alien Trilogy. The reason the level looks so close to the original is that it really is the same polys and textures (with a small bit of artistic license, one or two textures looked so rough at higher res that I had to change them).

That converted across very well! I was really impressed with that look when I loaded it up.

QuoteI'm tempted now to do an 'ultra accuracy' version with matching scaling and identical enemy placement. This would be strange in avp because the level would be stuffed with 1 hit kill facehuggers and only about 3 or 4 normal aliens but it would be funny to see.

I'd definitely love to see that!

Fan Fiction / Re: There were gianst on Earth...
Last post by Neila - Today at 08:13:42 AM
very, very interesting way.
i think its a bit to big for a single film cause of its tons of backround informations but it could be a large-scale novel series that ultimately leads to Alien 1, just as Ridley once imagined.
For most people this would probably be too far-fetched and confusing, but I find these ideas quite exciting.
a kind of mix between Dune, Lord of the Rings and of course Alien.
As a film, however, it would have to be much smaller. What you're thinking up here would be the Silmarillion for Alien, so to speak. :)

Quote from: Acid_Reign161 on Today at 04:39:52 AMIn all seriousness, it wouldn't even have to be an *actual* "Alien" story as opposed to character stories.

In my head I simply picture a 3-issue comic book run inspired by the line in Alien 3; "I had a horrible dream in Hypersleep, and I had to be sure how she died"

Issue 1; Starts with a recap of end-fight in Aliens as the backdrop to some comic book monologue about survival, only addition being just prior to that we see something drop from the shadows of the dropship landing gear; a small palm-sized black sticky cluster that hits the floor and burns in (just prior to Bishop noticing the burning by his foot and being impaled).. monologue ends as Queen is blasted out of airlock, and Ripley closes Newts cryotube. Focus on Newts face in hyper sleep revealing she's isn't dreaming, but is reliving a nightmare. *title page* Then rest of issue follows Newt's nightmare (mix of actual and dreamt events, on LV426). Issue ends with a quick shot of the cluster hanging beneath the flooring, bigger than when we saw it at the start, with black resin creeping outwards.

Issue 2; Starts days later from where issue 1 ended, with weeping acid from the growing cluster burning through a cable beneath the floor. CRT monitor in cryo chamber reports malfunction, and all 4 tubes open. As the crew awaken, Newt asking if they are home yet, Hicks delivers the news that there has been a problem, and they are going to have to use the civilian freezers on the lower deck. We get some technobabble about why you can't go back into cryo for at least 48 hours after hyper sleep (health reasons/strain on the body, etc), and we are treated with a montage of Newt, Ripley and Hicks enjoying some family time on the Sulaco, eating together in the mess hall, playing etc. Switch to a shot of Hicks sleeping in bed next to Ripley, Newt on a bunk opposite. Hicks is sweating, and clearly showing signs of distress in his sleep. *title page* then we follow Hick's nightmare (again, real events (ie; Mission on Arcturia with his squad, drinks with the locals/ Vasquez and Drake smirking amongst themselves as Frost leaves with a beautiful Asian girl hanging on his arm etc etc.. that slowly changes into a horrifying nightmare of fictional events with the squad all fighting a xeno infestation) issue ends with Ripley waking Hicks, they all move to the civilian cryotubes to resume their journey home. Cluster in the dark has grown substantially and two of the shapes are now visibly large ovomorphs, with smaller undeveloped ones clustered around them.

Issue 3; same format as above, starts with monologue, one ovomorph opens and two legs can be seen emerging. Cut to Ripley's cryotube; *title page* Then we get Ripley's nightmare; a mismatch of events from 'Alien', but on board Gateway Station, with frequent blurred lines between a young Amanda and Newt..nightmare ends with a facehugger on Newt's face. Final shot is Ripley's cracked cryotube with the silhouette of a facehugger over as she lays breathing heavy but sleeping as the "Emergency escape vehicle launching" sirens ring out.

Origin of the eggs, multiple huggers OR one (depending how you choose to interpret it) Ripley's nightmare fuelled by being half awake and semi-aware of what is going on (reference made to it in Alien 3 whilst taking with Clemens), and cryotube differences explained..without the need for yet another Alien encounter between. Bonus family time for Ripley, Newt and Hicks for the Alien 3 haters.

I'd be happy with that. 😂

impressive.
That would make a good novel or a cool comic, maybe even an animated series.
I like Alien 3 as it is and I'm glad that this film exists, but I always find alternative stories interesting.
and your idea is definitely interesting.

Quote from: Local Trouble on Sep 10, 2012, 11:11:26 PMBishop 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.

that fits like a glove.
