The Raven looks very over the top... but the creepy skull face really makes the design work. I can dig it. :P

I find some of the Alien designs pretty odd, I think it might just be the concept artist they got. The character, ship, weapon design is pretty damn good looking. I think the Xeno with the facehuggers on him is an interesting concept but pretty glad it didn't make it into the game.

There must be some way that SEGA can take all this concept art and actually have a capable developer make a good game out of this.

The Xeno concept designer doesn't have a style I think fits the Xenos. They seem pretty bulky and squatty and I'm starting to wonder if it was his designs that inspired the elongated back tubes as well as the simplified feet and 3-fingers.

When people where hyped up for the game's release i was kinda hoping it would be a success so that NECA would pick up the license and do toys of the better alien designs... wich are exactly 2. Lurker and Raven.
But now nobody will want to buy anything remotely connected to this game. ever.
fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.... :laugh:

Quote from: Byohzrd on Feb 14, 2013, 04:54:28 AMI essentially meant that you can still see where the fingers merge in the original design. I'm aware that they technically only have 3 fingers. CM Xenos l have 3 long skinny fingers with no sort of merging at all.Quote from: saintbenzie on Feb 14, 2013, 04:45:12 AM

I like the Raven design. I think the skullface design does the trick. Not a fan of all those spikes but overall I dig that design

I like the serpentine one (guessing it's at a half-way stage between chestburster and adult), but the 'trunk' looks a bit too thick. Nice aesthetic, though.
The one which looks like it's in the midst of a multiple facehugger orgy is... Um... 'Interesting'...

The Aliens in CM actually have 4 fingers, so it's f**ked up regardless. The fused fingers were just so human hands could fit in the gloves in the original. It's meant to have 6 fingers in the original and stan winston elongated them and made them the fused 3 finger design. Regardless the CM xenos are messed up.

Quote from: OpenMaw on Feb 26, 2013, 09:47:12 PMi thought the same thing, but it tends to happen a lot. If you look closely at the picture with the queen behind the glass, im pretty sure that its a promo pic of a sideshow bust that they used. These are just mockups, it happens across the board in games.Quote from: ikarop on Feb 14, 2013, 08:50:41 PM

Some of those alien designs would have worked in the game better though. There are some that have just subtle difference from the original alien design that would have been more then enough to provide veriety in enemy classes.

I don't think variety is needed in an aliens game as long as you portray them as no developer has still done, I mean, as they actually size, and behave like. Three aliens, one of each completely different to the other, plus the always pussy facehugger, the f**king chestbuster, and well..., Cameron's queen "sigh"
Not to mention that the stupid variety seen in those two pics clearly proves these new generation aliens are oriented to the Casual Cancer and children alike.
We've got one big problem since the days of A:R, and that is Fox

As clearly demonstrated by the above image of the creature confronting Lambert, the original design is the most singularly disturbing and uncompromising thing that ever stalked human beings. All the other Alien designs - especially rubbishy Kenner toy range and game concepts are just poor imitations and parodies at best. They're all just a bad joke.
The technology is at hand. It's about time we saw a truly remarkable ALIEN themed game - with creatures at least as faithful to the original inspiration. A walking biomechanical nightmare that actively stalks its frightened, and largely defenseless prey.
I guess what's really needed is uncommonly perceptive individuals in the right hierarchical corporate position who can assemble the necessary talent to bring such a thing to production. Ya... that is beginning to sound like a tall order after the dreadful GBX debacle that is ALIENS: Colonial Marines.
The original design does everything it should as intended, why does everyone in the position of making any form of sequel or media based on the ALIEN licence even want to change or interfere with it?
Does the phrase, 'If it aint broke, don't fix it!' mean nothing to these fools?
-Windebieste.

I agree 100% but in shooters like colonial marines, veriety has to be there to keep things interesting. However, I fine line has to be drawn in the aliens universe that has to keep things canon and not border on ridiculous.

The problem with the 'veriety' in A:CM is that it should have provided better story and characters and not solely depend on duck shooting gallery gameplay and a high reliance on resurrecting a dead character. The game is crap; but not just because the aliens are poor cousins to the original design - it's crap on multiple levels.
It is possible to have the same character design dominate the game when the character itself is a key component of the game play. It happens in story driven titles all the time. The variety comes from situational content and narrative driven focus. Not just, 'if it moves shoot it until something different comes along'. Of course that becomes dull.

IMO the only decent xeno i have seen in the concept are was the one that had facehuggers wrapped around its head and its arm,pretty much a smaller version of the carrier from Extinction.Overall all the concept art still looks great.

The technology is at hand. It's about time we saw a truly remarkable ALIEN themed game - with creatures at least as faithful to the original inspiration. A walking biomechanical nightmare that actively stalks its frightened, and largely defenseless prey.
I fully agree. But that would be a full-fledged horror game and I guess (literally) that the market for those is much, much smaller than FPS'. I'd buy though.

I would be very happy to play an Alien fps game close to Stalker. Less in numbers doesn't mean less scary game.

Quote from: Space Voyager on Aug 22, 2013, 08:17:38 AMI'd buy it too. That's the problem... we've got too many companies trying to set their standards to Activision/Call of Duty in hopes of high sales, but I feel that a lot of games that come out are largely uninspired and you come away from it with no real experience. That is, it didn't strike you as anything special or unique. We need an Alien game that doesn't try to be Call of Duty. Personally, I would prefer something akin to Dead Space. I really enjoyed it and I believe the Alien franchise could use a scary-space-horror-survivor-3rd person game to pay tribute to its roots. Not only that, but I feel that 1st person games often ruin the scale of the creatures/people around them where as 3rd person does it justice, IMHO.Quote from: windebieste on Aug 20, 2013, 11:56:03 PM

Some of the concept art looked really intriguing, such as the depiction of cities (possibly on Earth):

It looks like they had a bigger scope for this game planned but they never got around to it for some reason, possibly time/money.

Does the phrase, 'If it aint broke, don't fix it!' mean nothing to these fools?
-Windebieste.
It really annoys me when they go overboard with the designs. It's true that Alien 3 did establish that an alien does inherit traits from it's host but have a look how it's presented: it's all very subtle. To those that are fans of the movies, there are obvious differences but to the more casual viewer, the alien looks the same as any other alien- hell, they'd probably be able to tell the difference between Giger's classic design and Winston's revised version quicker than trying to discern between the original and the dog/ox alien.
QuoteLess in numbers doesn't mean less scary game.
Very true. I think the reason that aliens aren't scary in games anymore isn't because we know them too well; it's because we've made them too easy to deal with. In recent games, you can do things like rifle butt them in the face, kick them off your body and catch facehuggers in mid air. They aren't frightening because they aren't threatening to the player.

Except the prey - ie. you, the player - isn't especially frightened and can just shoot the nightmare in the face.
QuoteThe original design does everything it should as intended, why does everyone in the position of making any form of sequel or media based on the ALIEN licence even want to change or interfere with it?
A desire not to completely copy or repeat something that's already been done before. This shouldn't however apply to computer games when they can easily fulfill both functions by having an Alien like the original (and they often do) and then have other Aliens that they can muck around with the design on.
But then they sadly come up with Boilers and Spitters...

Boilers, I felt were just awful. If an Alien dies, there will be acid blood spilled, why does there need to be a "L4D Boomer" type? The Alien does not have eyes, so calling it blind to begin with is redundant. So they only hunt by sound? Did the nasty crap that mutated them or got baked on ruin their other senses? Unfortunately, besides the chase scenes with the Raven, this was the only other nerve-wrecking part of the game that gave me the chills I wanted uniformly throughout the game. And after the first time, it wasn't scary anymore.
Spitters, I can live with. The design could have been a bit better, but I liked the idea that they were unique like certain kinds of snakes that spit venom. Better than the ones from AvP 2010 that were just dull grey in color.

I love Borderlands though. But I look at games individually. I think that's fair. For instance, I liked Prototype but never cared for Call of Duty. Same publisher: Activision.

Meh, never really cared for Borderlands. Just isn't my cup of tea. What makes me despise it and Gearbox now, though, is that (if the rumors are true, and I believe them) Gearbox spent money and time meant for Colonial Marines and put it towards Borderlands 2. Let alone the fact that they lied to everyone about what was going on with the game the whole time.

If we ever get another Aliens game those WY mercs in the concept need to make an appearance, they look badass. And at one point O'neal had a dog and didn't look like a Sons of Anarchy reject. Seriously, f**k Gearbox and everything they stand for...

Eh.
While the concept art looks good, I'm a bit tired of gaming companies like Gearbox playing with the Aliens formula that was already so well established in the films. The WY mercs from Alien3 are fine just as they are and I don't think anything ever needed to be changed about them.
Also, I don't think we need new xenomorph to make any new Aliens game more interesting/challenging. The xenos established in the films are good enough as they are. If a developer want to add more challenge, then they just need to raise the population of the hordes coming at you. That's it.

I admit that in the film they looked good, but imagine wearing that gear in combat. The way the mercs look here is more practical. As for the xenomorphs I completely agree, the spitter was pointless and looked horrible, they should have just used the runner.

And rhino alien is just as bad IMO. Completely unnecessary.

Do you think the big hole in the hull of the Sulaco is from back when Aliens: Infestation and A:CM shared a plot/ran parallel? ;D

But you and your frieds can use the sick one to reenact the triceratops scene from Jurassic park. He even paws the ground in the same adorable manner. :P

It looks like the idea phase was much more advanced than what we were given. Must've been before Gearbox packed it in for Borderlands 2.
