Someone should take the 'Sonic Cycle' image and replace Sonic with Alien.

Please, let the brand die already, dont make any new stuff.
Everytime in the last 15 years whn something with a Xenomorph in it came to cinema or the the gamestations, it sucked incredible. I love the franchise, Aliens is one of my favourite movies of all time, but the last time was disastrous.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Well, how do you get from that one alien at the end of Prometheus to the egg pods at the beginning of the first movie?

They probably aren't connected, they kept telling everyone it wasn't a prequel, although the script might have started off that way.

Hopefully they'll get Gearbox to do it so they can start work on Borderlands 3!

I heard that the Xenos are the natural form, the original animal, like they would run on their homeplanet. At one point, they were are harvested and after bio-engeneering and genetical modifications, they have a alternated lifecycle and be like the the Deacon from Prometheus. Its like they said in the movie, its a bio-weapon. And its new lifecycle is more effecienter like one of an ordinary Xenomorph.

I dont have the source to this anymore, but I am pretty sure, that this is not just a fan theory or something like this.

Kotaku has an article up with more, rumored, details.

http://kotaku.com/source-the-next-aliens-game-stars-ellen-ripleys-daugh-1449318113

According to our source, the protagonist of Alien: Isolation is Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, the character that made Sigourney Weaver famous and kicked off the ubiquitous sci-fi franchise over 30 years ago. Amanda, who is mentioned in the special edition of Aliens as having died while Ellen was frozen in space, has not yet been the focus of any books, movies, or games in the Alien extended universe.

You, as Amanda, spend most if not all of the game on a single space station, according to our source. There's only one alien for "most" of the game, our source said; you'll mostly be shooting through "clones and soldiers." Vents, lockers, and melee weapons are a big part of Isolation, our source said, and the game is heavily inspired by the first Alien movie.P

They had me up until the bit about "clones and soldiers". Though just having that one Alien stalking about as a third party could make those encounters more interesting...

Bahahahahaha.

Priceless.

It's likely the Creative Assembly game.

Skylanders: Aliens Vs. Colonial Marines.

I use the Sonic Cycle all the time on another message board but damn you're right, the Alien one would fit. I'll see if I can whip one up when I get home if I am not beaten to it.

[RoboPlato]

Alien instead of Aliens in the title is very intriguing.

 

[Lakitu]

I hope they scrapped the clonesband soldiers part.

Distancing themselves as far as possible from the last Aliens game

I've got some good vibes with this. Looks great!

Here is the other artwork going around.

 

[dmr87]

Hype is rising, but I need to remain calm after the disaster that was Colonial Marines.

Well, this is being made a really good developer. So the quality should be there.

Dat filter... mmm. Gotta check myself!

 

[sacrificengineer]

Very interesting.

 

[Timu]

There's only one Alien for most of the game? That's a different change of pace.

 

[MickeyPhree]

I don't want to get hyped but I'm starting too already.

 

[NeoGash]

Hopefully they'll get Gearbox to do it so they can start work on Borderlands 3!

I feel like I am not worthy to quote this post, or even read it.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Honestly, I really want them to get an Alien game right. One day.

 

[twinturbo2]

Have they announced it yet?

Someone needs to photoshop Gearbox into the reflection.

Well, the story looks good.

Fuck canon, right?

Still, I'll give it a shot if it gets the vibe right.

Holding on the bare shred of hope that this game could turn out okay. The synopsis sounds promising.
