Ohhh you guys are in for a treat. Funny thing is, the two main forums I visit on the internet are avpgalaxy.net and twcenter.net. I AM A BIG TOTAL WAR FAN! They are amazing games, with many hundreds of amazing community mods. Expect this to be refreshing development if anything. I was just at twcenter before I came to check the AVP news actually. It's confusing when you start to see Creative Assembly on both websites...

Alien vs Human :D Sounds great just do it right! And if it a RTS the units, voices, story and AI need to be perfect then it will be a winner. :D and it better be for PC >:(

why is everyone assuming it will be total war based? it's much more likely it will be based on the Viking: Battle for Asgard game that they also made, which was published by Sega, and was also a R rated current gen console based game made by creative assembly, i'm pretty confident that it will use the same engine, and by the sounds of things said in articles (that it's peers will be Dead Space and RDR) it sounds liek it will be a TPS, Viking was a Thirsd Person hack'n'slash, adding shooting wouldn't be too difficult.

It won't be an rts, because wevall know they suck on consoles. Alien total war would be awesome.

Halo Wars would like a word with  you.

cant say I've played that one, my issues with them extend from control methods, last one i attempted to play way c&c generals on the N64, I'm also not a fan of fps on consoles for the same reason, PC is where they should live, or at least with a keyboard and mouse.

Could it be a title for the Wii 2? If motion controls are still in (which of course they are) then it could really be it.

The word "SEGA" makes me worry, but since it's based on the first film for a change, im all down for a horror 3rd person adventure game. Hope it turns out well.

I'm probably going to keep an eye to see where this will lead to.

Whoops, I didn't realize Creative Assembly made Total War, I thought this thread was about a totally different game in development.

An RTS based on the first Alien film?  It could be amazing.  I wonder if maybe this might be a heavily updated version of the strategy 1984 Alien game.  Regardless, I have high hope for this.
