|
 |
Found this when...well just browsing around 
"LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (December 13, 2006) - SEGA® of America Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced that Obsidian Entertainment will create a role-playing game based on the Alien film franchise with license from Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising. This title will be developed for the next-generation systems and the PC."

If this will be as good as KOTOR...we will have some cool gaming coming in the near future.
At NFOrce no one can hear you SCREAM!

An RPG? WHY? KotOR was great, but that's about the worst genre I can think of for an Alien(s) game. Obsidian isn't that great of a dev, anyway.

I have to agree with tzen. The Alien franchise is perfect for shooters and horror games, but rpg.. meh.

Why not, sounds pretty cool to me...at least its different. I am sure they will do a OK job with it...if it ever gets released that is. The shooter has been done so...I guess there is some more $ to be squeezed out here.

Well bioware is our last hope for kotor 3 and that would probably be after mass effect.

Well, fear not, as there is an Alien FPS running on UE3 in the works.

Well a RPG might be good personally I think its all about the tension, atosphere & fighting. If they can achieve all that in a potential alien RPG game then bring it on!

I thought KOTOR2 was great, maybe not as good as KOTOR, but still great. I never encountered any bugs in that game.
Sure, NWN2 was rushed, but they have patched up a lot of the bugs in the weeks after launch, and now it is very playable.
I don't like an Alien RPG because 1) screenshots look like shit 2) I don't think an RPG fits in the Alien universe

FRACK 2009...I wonder, will we be around then?. I bet we all will be abducted by soul hungry Alien Grays and Earth will have been taken over 2 times already....or was it 2012?

If it's action RPG, it might actually be pretty good.
Making it for next-gen consoles and PC makes it much less attractive though.

I just don't think Alien suits the stop-and-pause gameplay of so many RPGs. Maybe a hybrid FPS-RPG like Deus Ex could be cool, but just RPG? No way man.

Damn I was hoping to see a game with FPS with ALIENS and PREDATOR movies, but I guess I'll just wait, or wait for Crysis and then start modding

I sense that this game will become pure crap, the alien stories doesn't fit in the rpg feeling. Obsidian should make kotor 3 instead.

We don't see enough sci-fi themed RPGs so I say bring it on!
(My best guess for this game it will be something like System Shock 2)
btw SEGA should really change their logo already
