12/28/2023 0 Comments Dark descent game![]() I would rather get new things instead of just having what we've seen a lot of times before. ![]() ![]() In case those things are interesting enough they might show up in a movie sooner or later, who knows. What's good about games is that you can come up with new stories and therefore try new things, they don't need to be strictly tied to what came before. There could be ways to build them as characters, in ways that I might not be able to see.Ībout the Engineers, I would probably give the same answer to you as I did with the androids. Androids are synthetic, humans are organic, but I see what you mean. androids would be no different then the human players just with white blood.”Įh, no. Not that Xenos are bad, but because I'm more interested in new things. I would like to see new things and not just Xeno-isms that we've had since the late 1970's. Yeah I know, fair enough, but there could be other things than just Xeno-like creatures. they can have very diverse forms due to the xenomorph caste system/take on their hosts' traits…” I would like to see new things, not just things that get re-chewed so to speak. Don't limit the franchise to just Xeno-monsters (monsters with Xeno-traits), it gets repetitive. What you can do is also to heighten the importance of the Engineers in the game, kind of like how they tried to make the Engineers important in Prometheus. To just have Xenos when you can also include other things (like for example hammerpedes, what ever) would a missed opportunity and boring to me. ![]() I didn't say that you only got to have them as enemies, you can have Engineers and other things. “ALIEN games have always either been about gunning down xenomorphs or hiding from xenomorphs since the good old atari days.” “how are you going to make an ALIEN game built around the Engineers?” Thoughts_Dreams Neomorph Member 1688 XP Apr-10-2023 3:45 AM Especially if we give the Engineers any advanced weaponry. Engineers would be interesting as a boss-type enemy but at a gameplay point of view, the engineers would just be tankier version of the Predator/Yautja player/mobs. Androids are okay as enemies and while it would be cool to play as one, (we can in the Alien RPG), however gameplay wise, androids would be no different then the human players just with white blood. Also the ability to play as a Colonial Marine, Xenomorph, and Yautja will always be a popular. It works, because the xenomorph has alot to offer for a video game enemy, they can have very diverse forms due to the xenomorph caste system/take on their hosts' traits, whether you like that idea or not, (it's been part of ALIEN canon since the original, according to the creator commentary) This why Alien vs Predator games are very popular because when you throw in the Yautja, you get more enemies to fight and more gameplay options. Xenotaris Praetorian Member 4216 XP Apr-07-2023 3:29 PMĮxplain to me, Thoughts_Dreams, how are you going to make an ALIEN game built around the Engineers? Hmmm? ALIEN games have always either been about gunning down xenomorphs or hiding from xenomorphs since the good old atari days. When you throw in the Engineers you can also create new things from there, maybe new worlds. One thing to do this is to expand on the Engineers, games might be a way to do that. Hopefully the reign of the Alien-franchise can be expanded, so it can continue to live and not die by just being repetitive (for example by always have Xenos in it). “A king has his reign and then he dies” Im not a huge fan of Prometheus but that line is interesting. A franchise where you don't dare to have new things gets limited, stagnates, and eventually dies. Xenos are awesome, but there is a place for other things too. Maybe games is something where they can try to make new things in the franchise? Somewhere there got to be a place to introduce new things, so we don't get limited to Xeno-monsters (Xenomorphs, not Neomorphs and so on, but the original Xeno-monster). It's safe to travel a familiar road, but sooner or later it gets old, so I prefer if they make something new. Hopefully they make something new, going back to something that has been successful is to play safe, but it becomes too limiting. Thoughts_Dreams Neomorph Member 1688 XP Apr-06-2023 9:43 AM
