Aliens: Dark Descent / Re: Sequel Fodder

Last post by Acid Splash - Today at 12:22:31 PM

I think the commandos probably work better as a DLC type of story over having main character energy.


Their goals are kind of limiting.  Unless the stories writing is just downright brutal from your character's perspective.

You are probably trying to contain and hide infestation.

Which is what every WY unit does in the history of WY games and stories, and half that mission set is exactly what the Marines would be doing.  So you won't interact with any civilians, because you are dicks which limits your interactions even more, and if you make them suddenly find consciences halfway through the story.......been done a million times as well. 

The only way I think it could be interesting is if you are actually fostering an infestation on a world, but I don't know how well being a mass genocidist people would really dig. 

I really disagree with you on that Stern and Hayes are two examples in the story itself that directly show that just because you work for the company doesn't mean you're a heartless monster. In the story itself Harper starts accusing Stern of that kind of stuff and he reveals his entire team were killed trying to rescue people which led to him being captured and put in with the egg. There's also a lot of background story you can find that reveals there were mercs who sided with the cult even. So I don't think there's any need to have the characters be outright dicks or genocidal pricks.

... but it's a trophy hunter. Seeing them take trophies is kind of the point?

I agree with you.

I feel too often people confuse the idea that filmmakers following and utilizing the key established integral points from the original films in new content are somehow copying and therefore unoriginal ideas.

That is a null point and entirely untrue. A film maker can use those established points from the original films, that nature and system which is Predator for a new original idea whether that be a new story or new Predator. The two ideas don't need to be exclusive. Doing so would make the new Predator feel true and authentic and can be done in an original way all while vindicating fans.

Everyone who follows me on these forums knows that my biggest beef is Ferals abysmal face design. The extreme and drastic change from the original Winston design implies reboot. People may disagree with me here but i see it very clearly as the ridiculous change is blatant.
- bring back Winston's established and iconic design.

Alien Films / Re: The Official SKULL or NO S...

Last post by Acid Splash - Today at 12:15:51 PM

I prefer no skull appearance wise, it makes it seem more intimidating. The skull to me gives it too much of an identifiable personality that takes away from the Lovecraftian nature of the beast.

Even if the skull is barely visible beneath the dome?

I don't mind it being barely visible like how it's done in the movies, I'm just not a big fan of how it looks in merchandise or fully lit where it's really obvious and just prefer no visible human skull.

@Neila wow that must of been awesome to see. Something of that size on a wall. Very cool.

Yes, it was not only impressive because of the figure itself, but also because of the way it was draped there.
They were pretty thin wires, almost like kite string.

Yeah that sounds awesome, would love to have seen that.

The Deacon is along the same lines as the Neomorph – it's another Alien-esque form created through very specific circumstances and combinations of the Pathogen with other biological lifeforms, but not yet refined into the very specific form that is the Alien.

Hard to really know what it'll be judged on now that it's made the cut. Apparently it's 'excellence'. But Barbie got it over better-rated movies last time. The most acclaimed movie from the shortlist seems to be the Wild Robot. But who knows.

Prey gave us a trophy scene, though. Just not a human trophy.
