Creative Assembly's Aliens Game Not Cancelled

Dealspwn writes: In 2011, Sega and Creative Assembly announced they were working on an Aliens title and bar one blurry monitor screenshot from a team photo at the CA studio, we've seen nothing of it since.

However, in an MCV [print edition] interview, Sega's European boss Jurgen Post said, "Aliens is still one of our pillars. In May 2011 we announced that Creative Assembly is doing something with that brand - we've said nothing else so you have to read between the lines there."

Well I hope Creative Assembly paid attention to what happen to Gearbox and A:CM.

The Alien franchise has been utterly butchered. After the horrific mess that was Prometheus and the abomination that was Aliens: Colonial Marines, I've since given up on anything good coming from it ever again.

If you want to play a good 'Aliens' game, go play the original Dead Space. Just make sure you don't touch any of the sequels.

SpideySpeakz3910d ago

Prometheus was utter garbage. I don't consider it apart of the Alien universe since the movie wasn't about the Xenomorphs at all. Ridley Scott wanted to make a Space Jesus movie, and he used the Alien franchise as a hype booster.
AvP was even worst. Now we have Aliens: Colonial Marines, another failure in the franchise.

Aliens just needs to die already. It needs to rest.

N2NOther3910d ago

Aliens doesn't need to die. It needs to be handled by someone who actually cares about it and wants to make something quality.

SnotyTheRocket3910d ago

Don't know what movie you watched, but Prometheus was awesome. Don't whine because it's not the same as Alien or Aliens.

ifritAlkhemyst3910d ago

You have no idea just how much Dead Space owes to the Alien franchise unless you read all the Dark Horse comics and even dabbled in the novels.

Unitology is lifted almost straight from those. There exists a cult-like church that worships the xenomorph and who believe that implantation by a facehugger = ascension.

The main character even has a psychic connection with an Alien queen, which acts much the same way a typical Marker does in the DS games.

Prometheus was a great movie with top notch acting and a good sense of mystery, you are an elitist

The potential for a decent Alien's game is there, Creative Assembly just needs pay respect to the source material.

Colonial Marines: A Realm Reborn

poppatron3910d ago

This will be more of a strategy game, its the creative assembly, look at their portfolio of games. why any one ever thought this was cancelled confuses me. they're still taking on QA testers for it as we speak.

mydyingparadiselost3910d ago

PLEASE be good, I fail to understand how no one can make a decent Aliens ANYTHING anymore, this game will be the last chance I give Aliens for another decade or so.
Kinda off topic but how about a Predator game that doesn't increase the national suicide rate as well, I may be asking for too much but just one great game is all I'm looking for. At least throw one in a Batman game or something...

ifritAlkhemyst3910d ago

Nobody makes a decent Aliens game because nobody seems to want to explore it outside of the Colonial Marines.

BABY-JEDI3910d ago

Alien colonial marines should have been a brilliant game. With the original/proposed character classes & required skill bases for survival. Sadly to say Gearbox did not do their job & they took on a strategy of clearly lying to the consumer base. End result. Big pile of pants!

Alien Isolation ... plz, SEGA

Marcello147d ago

Yeah Please SEGA or at least native VR support for Alien Isolation.

MIDGETonSTILTS17147d ago

Alien VR… you’re sitting on a safe investment opportunity. VR owners are always hungry for new games.

Heck, explore RTS feasibility in VR, too. One hand washes the other…

Don’t chase fortnite.

Alien Isolation II...I beg of you

Continue her story.

Snookies12147d ago

Alien Isolation 2... That's all we need. That's all we've ever needed... The first game was a horror masterpiece!

The development of Creative Assembly's new FPS is having to overcome several obstacles

From GameWatcher: "News of Creative Assembly’s next game has been pretty thin on the ground so far despite a release supposedly happening in the current fiscal year, so naturally the question of ‘what’s happening there?’ came up during SEGA’s recent management meeting.

The answer from the company’s president was quick to point out stumbling blocks in development, but kept it pretty vague after that."

Hope this can overcome. Loved Alien: Isolation.

AuraAbjure839d ago

I hope it turns out great! Alien Isolation has sold at least five million copies across all platforms to date I reckon.
