It would make the encounters where it's just you and the Alien all the more terrifying.

This is a really sweet idea. We know it's gonna be about "the evil humans" eventually, so take a note from this man's book and make it great and not just cliché.

I couldn't think of anything other than that. I hope they make a version for the WiiU as well because it would be a perfect match, don't have a ps4 yet and it looks like that's going to stay like that for a while. Pretty damn costly.

This starting to sound better and better. I seriously doubt I will be able to cope with this.

Great article. The part with the synthetic sounds absolutely horrifying.

I had a mental image of it playing cards with the alien.
David:"When do you think she comes out of the closet?"
Alien: "Rawwhhrrr-hisssssss" *plays a full-house*
David: "Using your tail to swipe a card is unbecoming of your species."

Not quite the mental image I had - I got PSTD-flashbacks to System Shock 2's cyborgs mixed with the feeling I had for months after having watched Alien 1 for the first time. I was 7. It was quite traumatic.

I think that's why I have such a hard time taking Aliens seriously. The bloody critters are like Zerglings, lining up for the shredder in the dumbest 4 pool opener in history. There is much cognitive dissonance. This game promises to deliver much needed nostalgia :p

The only thing we have in common is the "hiding-in-the-closet"-bit, but the image of the Alien and the Synth just kinda bumping into eachother for how much they don't care about one another's presence is quite funny.

Aliens only looks bad because it formula has been copied so much, at the time it was totally original. It will never make you forget the first Alien-movie, but it was and is a terrific movie. The first half before the action starts is incrediblbly suspensefull, Alien and Aliens are both incredibly awesome, just different. Aliens is obviously the better choice for a game, that is why I am so intrigued by this game, it's sounds so terrifying.
