SEGA To Create New Alien Games
by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 11, 2006 5:34am PSTAccording to this story by the Hollywood Reporter, Sega has signed a deal with 20th Century Fox that allows the company to create new console and PC games set in the Alien universe. Projects include a first person shooter and a role playing game, and the first game is set to ship some time in 2008. Sega is in talks with actors like Sigourney Weaver and Lance Henriksen to reprise their roles for the games.
Mike Gallo, senior producer of the "Alien" games at Sega, said the new games will not follow the strict story lines of any of the four films in the series but instead will provide a new experience by drawing from the history and lore that is the foundation of the films. "We'll go out of our way to tie the games into the films in unique ways," he said. "We're also looking at all 'Alien' source material for inspiration, in addition to the films. We may incorporate some characters that fans know and love, and we may let gamers find answers to questions that were left unanswered in the movies."

marines:
-totally customizable weapons : smart guns, deployable sentry guns, laser trip mines, smart grenades from monolith's avp2 game, flame throwers
-customaizable equipment - using blow torches to seal off areas to contain alien swarms (see the alien swarm mod and Natural selection mod for examples of this), motion tracking (cant be an alien game without it), flares, flashlights, etc
aliens:
-the ability to drag players in vents with ragdoll effects.. dragging bodies around would be useful for aliens to eat + regenerate health
-The player should be able to drag marines from underneath loose floor panels or ceiling panels.. should be able to choose from inner jaw attacks to using its claws to grasp
-a "hive mind".. see the natural selection mod for half-life.. if one of your alien comrades are attacked, you are immediately notified via on screen visuals.
multiplayer modes:
-they MUST include coop.. a human player controlled marine campaign fighting aliens would totally own.. the converse would work well to
-Defend the hive.. marines must attack some hive colony.. alien players must defend.. hive mind would work wonders here
-the converse of the above gameplay mode: marines have to defend an outpost for x amount of time.. should be given the ability to seal off doors and deploy sentry guns
-extraction point gameplay mode:small group of marines must escape to a certain area.
