    Sega announces Aliens RPG

    http://www.sega.com/corporate/corpor...m=pr_20061213a

    Doesn't seem like very good RPG fodder to me, personally, at least not a traditional turn based one. A first person RPG might work pretty well, but I'll have to wait for some more details before I get TOO excited.

    Will be looking forward to this one. The last couple of movies sucked but an RPG has promise.

    I'll be burning them with you, because I am a huge fan. I would beg my mother to rent me the Aliens VHS at least once a month when I was like 9, she caved a few times, I love the movie!

    Yeah they better do a good job with this game. I don't remember playing any decent Alien games, like never. AvP was a total disaster, both the game and the movie. The 1st 3 Alien movies, now why can't they just make a similar game based on that. Is there an Alien game at all? I mean just Alien, without preditors and wan*ers running around?

    so do you play as human, aliens, or predators?


    That would be sweet if they had all 3.

    I think I remember an Aliens game for the Saturn that wasn't too great (was an fps). As far as the AvP games go, though, I can't remember ever playing one that wasn't good, from the two FPS games to the arcade beat-em-up (which is probably my favorite game in that genre of all time). Which game are you talking about being a disaster? Did they have a tie-in game with the movie or something that I've never heard of, because I've only ever heard good things about AvP games.

    Agreed. I'm confident that the look and feel will be right on, but i'm skeptical that fighting will work well in an rpg.

    I love the Alien, and Predator franchises.

    Aliens may be my favorite movie of all time.

    I thought that the first two "Aliens" were brilliant, but they all sucked after that.

    I went and saw AvP with ZERO expectations... and was actually pleasently surprised!

    So much so that I bought the DVD.

    The fight scene between the Alien and Predator was wicked.

    And not a whole lot of cheeseball lines in the movie.

    As for the PC games... I loved them!

    I still play AvP2 from time to time.

    They need a sequel...

    Alien is right up there with Star Wars as the number one movie of all time for me.

    You beat me to it. I bought the DVD also, for the same reasons. Far, far from a disaster. An R rating and it would have been better then Alien 3 and 4. Battlefield Earth and The Relic. Now there are two disasters for you.
