Introducing Xenomorphs into the mix

#61

No.
This is a Predator game.
If you want AvP, get a PS3 and play it there.
This game, the narrative set by the prequel novel and all the tapes, is centred around the 87 movie and is carrying on the stories from Predator 2 and (Lord help us) The Predator movies (credit to Illfonic however for only minimal recognition and influence in the 2018 shitshow).

Xenomorphs will only come into this game as a Hail Mary, when all their other avenues have been exhausted, the playerbase is virtually non existence after a period of freefall, and they’re desperate to get anyone and everyone back.

Not happening.
Not this year.
Not next.

Your posts are wasted time.
Your hopes are futile.
Yautja is the way.

Get over it already.

That’s what I mean. I still want pred/Xenomorph to be the top of the food chain and adding more classes would dilute that. Perhaps that’s what I’m doing by having pred share his spotlight with the Xenomorph, but what I really want is variety in AI. Just a new type to threat for pred and FT, with a little variety in game mechanics. Xenomorph does not have to be a primary character, at least not initially. Though maybe that’s not fair to religate it to a side role

I mean, why not. It’s not like other developers are fighting over this. Might as well go all the way

That’s fine. I’m not going to press. It’s up to illfonic and I’m just diverting resources from the JH threads.

Since we’re talking about jungle hunter, how about a re release?

Total fair in a Predator game for Xeno’s to be nothing but disposable fodder. No insult to them, they’re the Sci fiction equivalent to ninjas. One Xeno as the star, scary as fuck. A bunch of Xeno’s as mobile targets that hurt you if they bleed on you, perfect video game enemy. Besides, Aliens is the movie that made them fodder and it a classic.

They open the option to other alien things that could be hunted without the same production time, they’re pre-created with a full and understandable rule set.
I really want to fight a mutant T-Rex, but likely need Xeno’s first to make that a possibility.

Edit - appreciate the diversion but in all seriousness I feel they are inevitable. I’ll leave it to you to decide if I’m talking about JH threads or Xeno’s. 🤣

Yeah like that but about 1/3 the size, the one I’m talking about’s skull is in the display case at the end of part 2, opposite the Xenomorph skull.

i dont think this franchise is super popular
its why games that incorporate females characters win these games.

Warzone has female chars and so does fortnite and women like sparkles… and the gunz sparkle too

Daz dope but the cloak would be useless around a xenomorph anyways since they don’t have eyes to rely on, so rather than pred being a target uncloaked I think it would be best that he was a main focus within a certain range

This game is about staying out of sight. The only thing that resembles sparking is ‘those eyes. They disappeared’.

This game is gory. Red blood, green blood, executions, bodies flying, pred pumped with lead, skulls, spines, massacres. You know that pred is near, but not exactly where, still gets ft afraid and blood pumping. And to think that it could have been much better

#72

You’re right. I forgot about that. Well, a good uses of sound decoys, just like Alien Isolation. Though xenomorph can’t be that strong.

Having been playing AvP 2010 again lately, I’d really love Aliens.

But I also understand it’s likely not in the scope for this game.

#74

Contrarily, I think they are perfect for the game.

Its too pjorhfikt. Illfonic, u got wat u wanted. Give zose people zienomorfs

#76

Any time I see people wanting xenomorphs into the game I keep thinking “lol, they actually think Ilfonic can code in the AI for them? They’re worse then colonial marines at it”.

#77

Youre saying they can’t do Xenomorphs like in AVP 2? It wouldn’t be flashy, but I think the general consensus would be ‘illfonic, you did gud’

#78

If they are NPCs… Considering how the human ones act… Nop… If they need to do it for humans… Get ready for no content for at least 3 months. They need to code in wall climbing, vision modes, different type of melee system.

#79

Just wall climb, general three hit combo attack and attaching FT commando to the wall. They’ll be done in no time and still have a few days to take a vacation. Illfonic, you can do it

Dude, only creating the rig and animations for a xenomorph is going to take a lot of time and money.
