[Spaz_McNasty]

Is there anyone doing a mod based on Giger's Alien?
If not there should be...
i would love to see a mp game mode where a few Marines have to kill all the aliens or the aliens have to protect there caccooned peoples or something

if theres a mod like this i would love to know about it.
Big fan of HR Giger :thumbs:

OHNOES! IP Violation detected!

Sad to say, but one wouldn't get made. It's violating intellectual property laws, and would get shut down pretty sharpish.

There's an example of what happened to another Alien-based mod. IP laws aren't something to be trifled with.

oh there has to be a way around this

 

[Angry Lawyer]

The only way around it is to get permission, and Fox aren't willing. Alternatively, invest in Aliens versus Predator.

play hidden source for a similar gaming experience - its excellent
or buy avp

If only you'd continued with that role-play, AL and Pi, I probably would have half laughed myself to death.

A Mod based on the film Alien (the original concept was a script entitled Star Beast, the artwork for the eighth passenger was HR Giger's, and the director who put it all together was Ridley Scott) would not make a good game. Alien is a thriller/horror film. Jim Cameron's Aliens is an action film. The style of Aliens has been reproduced in Alien Swarm for Unreal and Natural Selection for Half-Life (which took its cue from Spawn for Quake II). There's also another 'Aliens vs. Marines' RTS/FPS Mod on the Quake III Engine but its name escapes me. *rrrip-off* *cough*

I heard they're making a 3rd one

xenos is heavily influenced by giger's alien designs, but obviously not an Alien game.

[Ennui]

edit: voila. tease.

Looks like Godzilla.

 

[Ennui]

We're really just a godzilla mod. the name is intended to fool you.

 

[SimonomiS]

Looks like Godzilla.

He has a point.

 

[63]

Its all good... at least Ennui is trying to cover up the fact that his mod is a blatant Godzilla rip

It's Mechagodzilla, actually. Self-portrait.

Our gameplay revolves around aliens.

RAR, I AM A MONSTA.

It is true that I drew that though. Is a mystery alien monster!
It's not purely an Alien influence there though. He's inspired by various sketches by fellow Xenos concept guy Otabagel, the xenomorphs from the Alien movies, the Starcraft zerg, standard 'grey' aliens and almost 30% dinosaurs.
