We reveal: Bloober Team, authors of Medium and Layers of Fear, have been working on a game from the Alien franchise set in the Middle Ages.
Most licensed games tend to be below average, but every now and then, developers produce a game based on an existing license that is actually good.
EA back in the early PS2/Xbox/GC-era actually put out some pretty good licensed games, notably 007 Nightfire , 007 Everything or Nothing and some of their Lord of The Rings games.
The world is not enough had a really good game made by eurocom on n64, it was overshadowed by goldeneye and perfect dark unfortunately, I think it has aged better in certain ways, and it had a better framerate. I miss the old days of solid bond games.
There were a bunch of fun Bond games, but Goldeneye and World's Not Enough (running on the ski lines in multiplayer was too much fun back in day)
Nightfire was also really great, as well.
I enjoyed "The Great Escape" game on the PS2. Also "The Thing" on PS2 wasnt to bad. Unfortunately it was to hard at the time when I was younger.
6th gen in general was a really good gen for licensed games, so many surprising gems from that time

X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And love it or hate it, Enter The Matrix really scratched the itch for Matrix games as well.

Still holding a healthy amount of skepticism towards this game, though what I read has sparked my interest. Sounds like it could be a unique horror experience.
I have no idea why these developers latched on to Alien to make this game. They could have made a perfectly good game without associating themselves with a game tag that has a history of being linked to terrible games.
