That first picture is pretty bad IMO.  I find in amusing that Warhammer 40K borrowed heavily from the franchise in creating the Tyranids to now have the franchise borrow from the Tyranids (look up the Carnifex).

Can't say i agree with the author in that i'm glad its canceled even with the sketchy concepts but it makes me think a bit.

Those are not new at all and they are not bad imo. I think It expands the Aliens universe in a great way that other projects couldn't

Yeah, not new. Ikarop posted them at the end of May but nobody outside of Obsidian Forums noticed them.

As much as I love the EU - I do. I'm big for expanding and novels and etc - but that first pic is horrible. I was always skeptical about the project. It'll be nice for Sega to put their money to a genre that seems more suiting to the franchise.

Its a direct and blatant rip from 40k.  It also means that Aliens are going the way of GoW and WoW were we need big muscled ogre aliens.

I just find it very uninspired.

Edit: I apologize for the mislabel as new, i must have missed them.

I can't really say I like the designs, but I still wish this game wasn't cancelled.

The tank Alien definitely needed tweaking, but I think it was a cool concept

It just wasn't made before and There's nothing write against that possibility.

Imo this game was for open minded stans not fanatics.

The first Alien that was shown looks awful and I hope we will never see something like that in the movies.

That Alien in the first pic reminds of the "Rouge", from the graphic novel. It's not to bad, but I think they can a hell of a lot better.

That giant alien, tank thng actually looks awesome, love the design of that thing, but as part of the ALIEN universe and the creature itself? Not so much.

Maybe as a genetic mutant created by the company.

The only time we have seen DNA mixed with an Alien was in Ressurection.
Title: Re: New Pictures
Post by: predatorfandrc90 on Jul 03, 2009, 11:17:22 PM
The chest burster take's dna in small amounts.That's how the predalien became the predalien.Same with runner's.
Title: Re: New Pictures
Post by: Private Hudson on Jul 03, 2009, 11:18:39 PM
What I meant was the only time DNA was truly mixed with Alien DNA was in Resurrection.
Title: Re: New Pictures
Post by: predatorfandrc90 on Jul 03, 2009, 11:19:42 PM
Understood.But the creature could be somthing like the alien's in ressurection.

Possibly, that's if Weyland Yutani could ever stay alive long enough to get a live specimen that is lol.

except the first time anyone was successful with it was in Alien:Resurrection. So unless it takes place after that... no.

Post by: predatorfandrc90 on Jul 05, 2009, 07:34:11 PM
This is the company they could have been succesful and then some horrible alien outbreak they all die the lab blow's up and then a huge coverup.Anythings possible.

The "Rhino Alien" looks so awful. If they were going to have a Rhino Alien make it look like the kenner toy version with a longer tail. Now that would be badass!
Title: Re: New Pictures

They actually do remind me somewhat of the old Kenner toys.

But the RPG format with Aliens... I can only see it working Fallout 3 style, with the RPG elements being a support for the FPS ones.

It was a Mass effect style game, almost the same.

Post by: Spaghetti on Dec 02, 2009, 03:20:20 AM
I was pretty much open to an RPG format, I was kinda getting tired of FPS's. From a RPG standpoint and what I've seen and from the concepts, I just felt whatever we would have gotten could have opened up allot of new lore, more from the perspective of the colonization of planets, WY and the colonial marines.

Something I've always wanted was a novel or comic, or whatever that was solely about the USCM. And what they do besides getting killed by Xenos. Just to expand the universe a bit.

The only RPG I've played are the KOTOR games, and while I hated the combat style, I agree with you that this could have been an awesome new thing in this franchise. Just to see its reach out and try something new. Not too sure about the Alien designs though.

Other than the Rhino alien, which made sense after viewing the concept art gallery, as I'm fairly sure this is it's host:

More concept art here: http://cldesignstudio.blogspot.com/2011/05/citadel.html (http://cldesignstudio.blogspot.com/2011/05/citadel.html)

It's been there for a long while. In fact some of the pieces have been removed since then (including a piece of a new Derelict Ship which was key in the plot of the game).

I have an article for the game coming up. I wrote it years ago and it includes all that artwork and more from other portfolios as well as new screenshots, renders and gameplay & story details but I haven't got the green light to post it yet. Kotaku noticed Lee's art today so I guess it's fine to share those now. I was personally asked not to back then.
