Aliens Slated for Next-Gen Game

Posted by Zonk on from the yay-facehuggers dept.

Gamespot reports that there's going to be an Aliens title for the new round of consoles. Sega has been tapped (again) to bring the Fox license to market, with an expectation that the game will be showing up in 2009. From the article: "This is not the first time either company has adapted the sci-fi series for gaming. In 1993, Sega released the arcade game Alien 3: The Gun, while the Fox Interactive brand scored a hit with the PC first-person shooting series Alien Versus Predator. Other publishers to tackle the franchise in interactive form include Electronic Arts (Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction for PlayStation 2), Konami (Aliens for the arcade), Capcom (Alien Vs. Predator for the arcade), and the former incarnation of Acclaim (Alien Trilogy and Alien 3 for multiple platforms)."

    I wonder if they're counting the Wii as one of the next-gen systems. It'd be pretty amusing to use a Wiimote to play as a facehugger, hunting down a human and having a little mini-game where you're wiggling around the Wiimote to try to lay eggs in their throat. After gestation, then there could be the chestburster mini-game, using the Wiimote to try to jab through somebody's ribcage. :)

    So basically, just a bug hunt?
