Wow. I had to re-read that quote 5 times to understand it! LOL!

Smart xenomorphs? Building spaceships? Sounds like a predator ( Yautja )

Yeah, no.

I kinda love the second picture

Happy Alien day!

Was hoping for more news/leaks on the day.

I guess this will do....Nice they aren't CG. 

Looks okay...But not very inspiring. A lot of CGI green screen. I don't see them building these as sets...I just didn't care enough about Shaw or David to watch them wander around an alien planet.

Character development is so important.

They look nice. These are from around 2015 when the story was shifted toward the Xenomorphs. The concept pieces created by Khang Le were from 2014, so I wonder if we will ever see an early draft from 2014 before the story changes.

Curious to see what they made when the film finally comes out.

It's a bummer that Carlos Huante didn't work on Romulus. 

Love this topic, great stuff! Love how they incorporated Engineer environments into the game. We need to dive deeper into this side of the lore one day! So much untapped potential.

Great spot Nebula! Indeed we've got some clues in the background...

Oh yes.

Hmmmm...

Super excited for this. I can't wait to scream in VR. 

I am expecting a full trailer today. 

I've totally missed those commercials! Who wouldn't like another lighthearted Alien ad before we're scared shitless during the Romulus screening? Make it happen <3 in a double sense.

(I bet Japan would do a kickass job with a totally bonkers clip, complete with a rocket-equipped mecha, a dude dressed up as a giant Tofu stick chased by the hungry alien, and a narrator screaming his lungs out. I'd buy that for a dollar!)

Close-up shots of either animatronics or a man in a suit and some complicated shots will be computer-generated, much like in Alien Resurrection or AVP. So no need to worry.

Since they made actual Xenomorph suits, I'd sell my soul for ads like these

"They used a robot for that"

Interesting, so animatronics then perhaps? And coupled with the suit I get the impression they aren't leaning too heavily on a CGI xeno.

Interview with Isabela Merced, her comments on the Romulus Xenomorphs

"The team at Legacy really helped us out with it. I was surrounded by pros. The interesting thing is that it was set up for streaming until the middle of filming. Because Fede Alvarez is the nerdy fan that he is of Alien , he really was vouching for this movie. He actually cut the teaser trailer himself, which is very rare. Usually, studios handle that. So, I think it was an absolute honor. I learned so much. Shout out to the crew in Budapest. They were amazing. They were top tier, for sure."

"Definitely seeing the Xeno for the first time. They used a robot for that. And also, they used a human being, like a really tall person, in the costume and special effects. We had two Xenos on set, at all times, and they were just terrifying."

"The detail is incredible. I like the Xeno nails. That’s my favorite part, the chrome nails. I’m gonna get chrome nails for the premiere. You’ll see me with them all around. They were incredible."

this game is one of the best Aliens game ever. The environment is amazing. 

Seems promising. Also really cool if we could hear from them here in the forum! 

Another one, this one by Ricardo Ferllen:

the stuff is starting now

wow based on the description it looks like the Alien bursts out while the small ship is leaving/escaping.

I am guessing that moment possibly causes this disaster

Indeed it sounds horrifying and I can not wait! Can't help but feel the water scene is a homage to Alien: Resurrection's water chade scene. With every update I see for this film I only get more and more excited!

From the looks of it, it's definitely a man in a suit.

If the Xenomorph has digitigrade legs, but it's still a man in a practical suit, this is possible

Apparently it's a practical suit (well I guess in some instances/to some extent maybe) and judging by a few reactions, the overall vibe of the scenes were old-school Alien, so based on those factors I think it'll be plantigrade legs. 

I would personally prefer digitigrade legs though as it adds a certain aesthetic of "animalistic aggressiveness" for the lack of better words.

Nice find Nebula! Front paging the Xeno banner!

Damn that's intense!! And the absolute horror of being chased by a large amount of unseen facehuggers in water at knee-level to slow you down...It doesn't get more nightmarish than that!! 

Certainly! While I'm generally not a fan of directors taking influence from video games (despite the fact that I love games), Alien Isolation is a big exception because it's so close to the source 1979 material while delivering phenomenal POV scare tactics, coupled with the masterful, thick and razor sharp sound design. Additionally I think the characters are interesting and well-grounded without being exaggerated like in many other games. Amanda Ripley- albeit more or less a mirror of her 79' mother in action, isn't an invulnerable super soldier, but a terrified, vulnerable but also capable survivor. Hopefully the characters in Romulus are similar imo. 

Thanks for the links Neomorph. It's so great hearing the positive feedback from the sneak peek review. 

Knowing it has similarities to Alien Isolation gets me more exciting. It's pretty guarantee the visual is going to be great. Now I am hoping a good story, good acting and good music. 

A few parts I picked up from a post- reaction video:

[Mild spoilers, and Alien Romulus part starts at 03:51]

• The Alien appearance is closer to the older films, less fluid movements. 
• The film has similarities to Alien Isolation.
• Look and feel of the original films.

Hype!! Here's a link with additional info from the comments section in the video link provided by Jonesy

I love the "Dark Design" one, the facehugger looks beautiful 

Scrolling through X, everyone who got to see it at Cinema Con is very much pleased. My excitement just went through the roof.

Also, a better look at the Xenomorph from the IMDb ads.
