Hey /v/ how would you make an ALIEN/S video game? it can be Aliens Vs Predator too. It can be just Giger-inspired without the modern xenomorph.

Who can forget this gem? He's right you know. A game about Weyland Yutani is basically a game about Aliens.

I'd rip out its renderer and assets and make a proper game editor for it. Extremely well optimized and good looking for its time, looked like a 2020 game while running on no more than GTX 660 and a E6600.

The game itself is still the most boring hide & seek & go tag I've ever played with those abysmal Crysis-like controls but without the quickness and maneuvrability of Crysis.
The game is more enjoyable as simply as a walking simulator where you just enjoy the nice recreation of Nostromo's assets. Game is scarier when there's no Alien cockblocking you.
One of the loudest stealth games I've ever played.

amazing quality and movie, it's mindblowing how the first movie is so well made that if i never saw it you could bullshit me it was made in late 2010 and i'd be inclined to believe you. the self destruct sequence is the absolute kinoest scene in horror genre

a game where you play as Newt and you train facehuggers to impregnate your pussy/uterus instead of your throat, and then when they are born they imprint on you as colony members instead of food

your job as newt is to trick other human survivors into becoming seedbeds for the alien colony, including males, who accept anal pregnancy from facehuggers, though its a bit more risky if they get in too deep due to shape of intestine

boss encounters will be when newt gets her uterus filled by 'queen' facehuggers or unusual archetypes of aliens, causing the player to have to perform complex quicktime challenges or face a game over as the alien rips its way out of her stomach instead

It was dated even by those standards and it wouldn't even pass as a 90's film.
It's the way the cameras make everyone look and how sterile the ship looked, it was straight out of the 80's with all the designs and you'd think 'If this is modern then they've captured that old look perfectly.'

Skyscraper escape game.

You start at the bottom of a WY skyscraper after an Xenomorph hive has gone from cold to hot. The city is in chaos and you have a variable amount of time to get to the top and get extracted or maybe catch an orbital lift before a Neutron bomb goes off.

Viewpoint is third person and the gameplay will line up somewhere between Helldivers and Deadspace. Puzzles for dumbasses and heaps of fighting.

You will be able to carry a primary, side and heavy weapon and two gadgets. Ammo will be plentiful but the places where you get ammo will be restricted so you'll have to manage your ammo via planning your route.

Different starting characters will have different starting loadouts. You will be able to meet the other characters at times (that's how they unlock) and try and get them to the end.

Primary enemy will be regular black Xenos however there will be turbo engineered Xenos like in Romulus which will fight the black Xenos and also be able to implant and hatch at turbo speeds. There will also be Red Xenos which are similarly hostile too, like in the novels. Xenos won't be limited to the human types either, expect to see shit from the toyline or equivalent.

Colonial Marines will be around to help you or hinder you depending on whatever the game feels like doing. There will also be androids (hackable, charmable) and Wey-Yu kill teams on site.

The skyscraper will be fucking huge like Akira so there will be room for plenty of larger spaces, vehicles, and mechs. Yes of course the auto loader will be about.

Floors will also be randomized too so no game will play exactly the same but you will be able to learn how to deal with certain situations or attempt to solve them from different angles. Environmental destruction will be a factor. All the floors will plug together doorways and vents so the Xeno will always have routes to you, and likely more ways than the player to get around.

Aliens will also nest too. Yes there will be a queen.

Shut up gen-Zombie. Look at the gen-Z pretending he's from the 80s, roflmao.

The whole thing about Alien is that everyone was expecting a very crappy Friday the 13th kinda horror slasher and instead they got something actually sci-fi with a Hollywood-tier production and some decent beats, writing, effects that you wouldn't expect out of a horror movie. The alien prop itself look realistic as hell compared to all the other men in suits, that's because the inner jaw and the skeleton ribcage gives it a very unironic 3D depthful aesthetic, it doesn't look flat like a skin texture like what everyone was used to back then. The skeleton design and ironically metal/plastic inner jaw gives it that form of realism despite there being much more impressive biology animatronics back then, simply because people know what's attempting to mimic biology and what's attempting to mimic metal. Plastic is much easier to mimic bone structure and caverns than flesh. Flesh is very hard to mimic correctly and that's where the Alien's design shines through since it's an alien made of silicon in-canon and it's a prop suit made of silicon basically.
The fact the camera also carefully focuses on what it should such as the head, ribcage, inner jaw, etc. is what makes it not look goofy whenever the actor did the crabwalk or got pulled by cables.

To this day the Alien looks insanely realistic because the design literally say; biomecha MECHA. What do you animatronics are made of? That's why the Alien is a true and tested design. A robot prop is much more realistic than a fleshy biological cat prop.

Acid will be big thing. But there will be areas that acid can't affect. People fighting aliens on other floors could create holes which you can traverse. But maybe those holes will create a shortcut to YOU.

>Wey-Yu building acid proof areas in their skyscrapers? Why would they do that? Why? I wonder!

Fires, smoke, electricity, and ice will all be environmental considerations too.

You will be able to traverse the outside of the building. If you have explosives you could theoretically use a Wey-Yu kill teams jet back to go and destroy a window and skip a few floors. Skipping a floor(s) doesn't mean there won't be ramifications or things still happening there.

No it won't be coop. High fidelity experience for SP fun not held back by having to back forth what's happening to everyone.

Predator can be a DLC. 1&2 style for shits and giggles where they come to enjoy the shit show and do some hunting amongst the chaos. However if you win in a Predator game... you unlock them as a new game mode. You turn up and hunt for X amount of time and extract before the Neutron bomb goes off.

Spoiler: The neutron bomb doesn't kill the Xenos. Just the people who would snitch when they find out what good ol' Weyland Yutani is up to! Building better worlds!

First Person Shooter/Slasher DOTA such as Natural Selection where you get 2 commanders that play like a RTS game and the other players fight out on a few maps just like LoL/DOTA with 1 general building bases and placing turrets.

Strategy-FPS like the Strike Force missions from Black Ops 2 where it works as an RTS but you can control individual units should you please. Play as aliens escaping from a Wey-Yu facility with a limited number of units that you can increase by freeing others from containment. You could also introduce eggs and facehuggers but that might take away from the action too much.

The ultimate objective is to take dominance of the facility to such an extent that your aliens can out, with a focus on territorial control. Multiple paths out of the facility can be opened or blocked, and missions require attacking and defending your captured territory. You lose all your aliens, itโ€™s game over.

Have a fun little achievement for keeping the alien you started with alive to the end.

I ain't from the 80's, numbskull, I was born in 93'.
Doesn't change that Alien is a pure 80's flick. Any major film pre-88' or around that time used a different camera system to the ones used after where it made everyone look like they'd been airbrushed and then covered in a light spray of water droplets. It shows the most in spaghetti westerns.
The alien was a great prop but that ain't what I was on about.

Just stop crouching and using hiding spots and suddenly it's 3x times faster. :))
Matt Filer is reverse engineering tools for it to properly mod the game such as disabling the Alien's vision and letting it detect only sound.
They really should slow down the alien and give Amanda the Alien's speed instead to feel like Quake and suddenly the game will be only 4 hours long.

An Alien game exploring the structural perfection, the world where the Alien comes from. The Alien does not come from some shitty Tyranid Zerg gooey planet. The Alien comes from a MC Escher world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m9NnaSiJtE
https://youtu.be/-FoaZMKsTeo?t=148 Manifold Garden, Fragments of Euclid, etc.

And video game/gameplay wise to pair up those amazing visuals with ... would be Colobot. (So we don't end up like Scorn and Dark Seed that has boring-ass gameplay) Colobot started off as a C/Java learning game before somehow evolving into an astronaut TPS+FPS RTT+RTS survival adventure exploration game.

Disney is starting to make a bunch of clones and loosely inspired games yet it doesn't seem to gather traction.
Aliens Fireteam """Elite"""" by the losers at Irongate copied ZombieZ and everyone complained it wasn't good enough.
The new Alien VR game everyone complained it wasn't good enough.
The RTT Alien Dark Descent everyone said it was good but with a few flaws, but nobody played it or did much with it.
Then there's the tabletop RPG that's getting a massive expansion I can't remember how much $$$ it gathered on Kickstarter.
The AVP series which everyone commends for its fun multiplayer with 3 distinct species, but everybody stopped playing a long time ago.
Bad marketing/bad appeal to true video game players and each game not being a proper 1:1 clone and neither being unique and fun enough on its own to warrant an insanely big gaming fanbase since Alien started a movie, not as a gaming franchise.
Not sure where Predator Hunting Grounds is sitting at right now.

A lot of good game genres spawned from game editors, too bad modern gaming industry is too fucking retarded to take a hint and copy some good shit. The Cat & Mouse games from Starcraft 1 could go very well for a zombie or alien themed game.

Cololnial Marines but not dogshit like how it was first shown to be.
>Not just having to deal with Xenos all the time that shit would get old. Occasionally run regular USCM missions like quelling guerillas or suppressing rogue colonists
>Actual squad roles. Smartgunner, Medic, Scout (Runs the Motion Detector), Infantry, Pilot/Dropship Crew, APC driver/crew, CO/NCO
>Get the ayylmao call from Weyland Execs
>Plays like a mix of SWAT and ARMA with a little briefing, mission prep, then execution.
>Missions can range from a quick skirmish to multi hour long battles
>Missions where you need to Hive wipe and eventually kill or capture a Queen
>Missions to take out bugboy hideouts where you need to kill/arrest suspects and eliminate eggs/hosts
>Missions where labs are fucked and you'll need to save data/scientists and survive
>Missions where transports carrying Eggs or hosts has gone side ways and you are a small team tasked with getting ship Black box but are being stalked by a big chap (can't use normal weapons due to hull decompression)
>Weapons from the technical manual and a few from the AVP games are in
>Maybe a DLC where you have to fight a Predator like that GR: Wildlands event

Collectaton exploration with elements of RTS' gathering & building, crafting, research. Then it turns into a resource-management game and taking care of your food and planning escapes with your fellow scientists as you're forced to use them as decoys, scouts and eat them for survival.

The sequel has a more Marine take on it where you use androids, guards, etc. to invade hives. A lot of planning, a lot of tests, a lot of real surprises when rely on dormant hives, distractions, aliens backing off, reports telling you you're dealing with normal aliens and instead elite aliens come which specialize in killing your elite grunts. It becomes a game of rock paper scissors with an atmosphere of calm before the storm making you believe you're safe as nothing ever happens until it happens and you're stuck, you can't reset just like in Rimworld. If you wake up with an alien nest in your base then resetting means you have to do 10 hours of preparation again. "Luckily" the save sends you to the moment the alien nest awoke and you try every possible combination till you finally reach a bittersweet ending where you don't die, but you didn't survive in one piece either.

I personally would prefer a Pokemon game where you play as the man himself collecting Ayylums and making them fight wildlife, other aliens, humans and predators.
Can make a cute little secret base, participate in beauty contests, go to the safari for exotic aliens and of course have an intricate breeding system. Hehe.
