Voyager, you said “The best ones are those that don’t make any attempts at following a movie and instead become (or try to) it’s own entity within a big franchise (see starwars games, lotr games … and those are not that good after all).”

“and those are not that good after all?????”

lol

Whatever, Sega is no longer the company it once ways. Have you seen the latest releases in games they have put out? The latest version of Sonic is poor and looks like no one cared to put it through quality control whatsoever. Sega is no longer the company it once was, the games they put out are very substandard, the graphics are all very poor and the gameplay which is most important lacks in any substantial effort. Sega is pretty much dead weight, they need to go back to original ip’s and to the innovative and fun games, although I don’t think parent company Sammy will allow that.

Personally, I think some the Lord of the Rings games have been fantastic. Well, I only played one (The Two Towers, I think), but I loved it.

Please show me where I said Star Wars games are crap. I’m not going to quote myself since you can make another attempt at reading and understanding just a few posts above this one. KOTOR is exactly the kind of exception I made, not based on a movie but instead it’s own entity within the franchise.

And as I said, it’s not that good but for fanboys that doesn’t matter, right ? You want to be right, you don’t hear (read) anything else other than your own praises of what you want things to be like.

But go ahead, praise a game that hasn’t even made it yet to the design tables Hell, no deals have been finalized yet …. but sure, it will rule ^^

My mate mentioned “imagine if an Aliens game had been made by the GoW fellas” this got me thinking, they could really do a great game for the 360 based in the Alien universe (minus Predators)The game should be a survival horror, were you go a simple non military type (ALIEN)…Imagine how creepy that would be.
Then later Marines turn up and you can go one.

And to the person who said Star Wars games are crap, what about KOTOR?

Imagine a game based on the “Aliens” film with a similar gameplay mechanic to Rainbow Six Vegas, with motion trackers, welders and Pulse Rifle etc.

That would be sweet.

When was a game based on a movie *EVER* anymore than mediocre at best ? Most of the time games based on movies are ultralame rushjobs, planned by financial analysts who somehow came up with some numbers that convinced a newbie venture capitalist to fund yet another disaster.

Doesn’t really matter what label you slap on a moviegame … they all tried it, they all failed miserably.

The best ones are those that don’t make any attempts at following a movie and instead become (or try to) it’s own entity within a big franchise (see starwars games, lotr games … and those are not that good after all).

The best thing about such games is …. it’s jobs for ppl who need to work, paid in full by venture capitalists who even make money from losing it in the first place, thanks to wonderful things like absurd tax laws

Maybe the graphics will be pretty ^^

Man, I would *love* to see something in the “Alien” universe appear on the 360. Maybe something with Colonial Marines vs. Aliens? Or something that more fully fleshes out the universe of “Alien”? I just hope whatever it is sticks with the gritty realism of the original movies and doesn’t cheese it up.
