Very Nice....
i like the effort put into it, i think the whole Neomorph idea could have been done better, and these Fungi that are then housing like Nano Tadpole like Bubble/Cells with tiny Worms inside (instead of Tadpoles) would have been interesting.
Thanks for the Share...
The Juggernaught interior looks more like the Derelict in parts...
Also seems to show what could be Eggs growing too... Maybe the Eggs are like Cabbages after all ;) Actually my Cabbage Patch post from a while back could be the way to explore the Xenomorph.
RS did say the Killed Xenomorph would have Regenerated.. which is a bit pants... but having a Dead Xenomorphs Body dissolve into a pile or Matter which then New Eggs Grow from is a Route i would have taken if i was on board the TEAM working with RS.
If i was brought on board during the writing of AC, i would have explored ONE Neomorph but i would have suggested either the Spores... or even introduce a Black Goo infection, upon a Pregnant Female Colonist..
Where we then see the Spore/Black Goo infects the Females Unborn Fetus, and then have it become a hybrid and rabidly grow and give us the Expanded Pregnant Belly Burster that leads to the Baby Head design.
I feel this would make more sense than Spore infection in AC and the whole concept of a Colony Mission of Couples who end up on this World, thinking they have found a better place then their Original Destination but then get infected would have been much more Gruesome.
The notion that a Couple expected to awake at Origae-6 set up a Colony and their Child to be the First Born on this NEW Home..
Instead they end up on Paradise, infected and the Horror when the Pregnancy all of a sudden seems to have gone from 3 Months to 9 Months within hours, and then a Baby Head Burst out of the Belly.
This would have been EPIC...
Even more so if it was a Shower Scene too ;)
I appears this person did design the Neomorph, or at least had been given some ideas and reference point by RS etc and then was asked to come up with something and this is what Stephane came up with
The First design is kind of very much like the Deacon, which we can logically see as the Black Goo is related to Deacon DNA.
As far as the other designs a lot of it is based off unused Prometheus concepts, such as the Baby Head Fifield, and the Mouth Burster is similar to the kind of thing that was Bursting out of Holloway in the Concepts for Alien Engineers.
As for the Back Burster... yet coming out of the Back makes less Sense, but we need to REMEMBER that RS wanted to do something different and offer something different yet more disturbing to a Chest Buster which we have all seen before.
The whole IDEA behind the Neomorphs was Flawed, unless they have some kind of method to explain why only ONE is Grown.. now with Sperm... once a Egg Cell is Fertilized the outside of the Cell Changes and it can not be fertilized by more Sperm Cells.
Sperm needs a Egg... but in the case of the Spores, they never looked at what does this need, it just appears to be that it just needs to attach inside the Host and it will grow.
So the only logical explanation is the Spore Motes will form together in a certain random place, and then then attach to each other and grow, taking elements from the Hosts DNA/Body in order to do this.
So that what we have is Spore Infections where if say 10 people was infected, then not all of them would have Back Bursters, we could have Front Ribcage Bursters, Ass Bursters lol... i guess its what route the Spores take inside the Body...
Maybe Time plays a Roll, in that after the Spores are released there is a period where they then start to grow and so depending where it enters the Body, will effect where it grows...
It would be like say if you Entered a Maze and after 5 Minutes where ever you are is where you set up Camp.... and so if the Maze has 4 Entrances then it depends which entrance as to how far you get inside the Maze before this 5 Minutes.
"Their waiting for Mother"
People took this as being Ambiguous, could it mean MUTHUR as in David and W-Y are in cahoots or at least David and AI behind the Machines are, and have set all this up so that MUTHUR can bring Hosts to where David is...
I cant see it being anything to do with Dr Shaw...
The way i see it is Davids comments are merely regarding a HOST... a Human Embryo is what Evolves from a Fertilized Egg Cell, it evolves into a Embryo that REQUIRES a Mothers Womb to allow it to grow and then for the MOTHER to give Birth.
It appears those Eggs are the most advanced form of Davids Projects however, he simply has No HOSTS left to test it on.... so those Eggs are awaiting in that Catacomb for a Host, which is why David transmitted the Dr Shaw feed to TRAP Eventually a Human Ship to come and explore the Signal.
So these Eggs, which have Face Huggers require a Mother to incubate its Embryo and thus i feel the Waiting for Mother is just that the Face Hugger Xeno Embryos require a Host to Gestate and grow and then give Birth to the Xenomorph.
"I've reached 80 and I'm asking the bigger questions all humanity does at this/some stage in our journey through life, the 'What comes next?!' questions.". Which now has been placed into the universe of Alien, awkwardly and inappropriately insofar as the cannon of this series."
I do think this is something that put some off, and the Philosophy etc is something that interested others, its a BOLD Plot to incorporate the Space Jockey Race with Gods and Creation.
But i dont think the plans was to be going too Biblical Literal here... the Bible/Quran and Torah are not the only Religion or Mythos based on GOD and Gods.... there are many. and as far as Literal LIFE and GOD we have in General these TWO Answers.
1) There is a GOD, or a Place where our Souls go to when we die, and GOD in this sense is a Divine and Powerful somewhat Magical Entity.
2) Life just Evolved from a Event from the Ancient Past, the Big Bang and we have no SOUL we are a part of Evolution, we are Born and we Die and that is it.
So here you kind of have the Dr Shaw/Dr Holloway Flip-side.
What these Dr's both agree on and what their findings are showing is a 3RD Outcome.
3) That we are Created as is most life by a Ancient Alien Race, that have interacted with us and who we persevered as GODs and where all our GOD Mythos came from... This backs up Holloways Ideas, but for Dr Shaw she ponders if these beings who are who we interpreted as GOD's are actually in some way more closer to GOD, or are they just a Ancient Advanced Species... in which Case Dr Shaw is still asking.. who CREATED Them.
I think its this 3rd Theme that is the basis of Prometheus and while it throws some Biblical themes around, i dont think the idea would have been to show us some GOD who is like God of the Bible... not at all.
I think its a case of the Question is there a GOD, or no GOD or are we a process of Evolution....
The Answer to this is YES on Both Accounts.. BUT the actual truth about the Very Top of the Hiearchy Chain of Original Creation (so expending beyond the Engineers) is totally nothing like what the Biblical GOD is, and i think would not be a GOD as in the Literal Magical Sense.. but something VERY SINISTER
Where the Creation of Mankind and the Seeds/Roots to where we came from are FAR from some Magical GOD Creating First Man/Woman to Look after and Protect and Grant Eternal Life...
The TRUTH could have been something very Bold and Twisted and Sinister and i for one was looking forwards to finding this out.
I have to say Covenant on the basis that i watched it more than any other film this year and still enjoy it for what it is (i pretend its a standalone action movie)
Rogue One , Kong i enjoyed for what they were too.
Not seen "It" but "Dunkirk" was nice ! EDIT: Loved Arrival
Is it Darth Sidious? Now Alien ties to Star Wars!!! ;-)
Seriously though, when did this scene take place?
Interesting Concepts.... the last one from 2015 does kind of look a little like how one of the so called Prometheus Pandemonium 2014 creatures was going to be as far as how it was explained to me and what i described to Chris back Early 2015 ;)
As for the TV Series, i think it would be interesting as there is quite a lot that could be explored in the Expanded Universe.
*Weyland and Yutani Companies (what Technologies and Rivalries they had and i think the Prequel Novel will touch upon some of this).
*You have the Androids and could cover instances where previous or future models have flaws and rebellious tendencies, we see this with David but also it happened with the Autons (Call AR)
*We could explore the Marines a bit...
But i think doing a TV series about the Engineers may not work, unless it covers some kind of Future Interaction or Distant want, with Flash Backs showing Engineers interacting with Mankind in the past.. or even other Humanoids in other parts of the Galaxy.
But again i am not sure FOX would risk this.... the other ideas as far as a TV series that covers a W-Y kind of Story that has nothing to do with the Engineers or Xenomorphs could be explored i guess... it would not need massive Budgets and i guess the POTENTIAL for a TV Series like this or even just expanded Novels will depend on how Fans take to the Covenant Prequel book by ADF that covers the W-Y Company and the Events prior to the Covenant ship leaving Earth.
HOWEVER... I think FOX may still be reluctant because they may think the Franchise has to be about the Xenomorphs which we have seen done over and over... and i think a TV Series about Marines and Xeno's will just completely COOK the BEAST
I concur Ati and dk. I will walk backward slowly to the pre-anus period for the neomorph mouth concept.
looks like a sperm cell tbh, good to see aliens sexual themes were still planed for
I'm done with it and I agree to SenseOfDoubt. Except for I didn't find it boring.
Why was this called Alien again? This thing is more of a corporate thriller a la Tom Clancy.
I like however the way Hideo Yutani is portrayed. A totally different brand of CEO than megalomaniac Peter Weyland.
Someone wondered how Yutani took over Weyland Industries. I'd wager with the disappearance of Sir Peter, Weyland Industries lost its genius and driving force wich led to a considerable loss of value wich in turn may have led to an investor exodus. At that point W-I was ripe for a hostile takeover. No conspiracy needed. ;)
It's Shaw!
Alien vs predator requiem.
Who cares if it's David or Walter as long as it is Michael Fassbender :D
It's David pretending to be Walter. He's even seen later, patching up the wounds on his face that Walter gave him when he hit him with the rock. Ridley Scott also confirms it's David, in this podcast: Alien: Covenant Spoiler Special With Sir Ridley Scott
It looks fantastic, I don't want to get too hyped over it just in case but it def looks like it has potential.
Was going to buy it but the reviews are not good. Just as a I imagined.
David just had a frog in his throat when he was lying on the floor. Or was it a couple of encased embryos? Either way, all he had to do was clear his throat.
I can't see David repeating his mistakes. It would probably only take a moment or two to prise out the CPU from an incapacitated Walter to put him well out of action. Maybe if someone re-visited the citadel and plugged his chip back in, we could see Walter again, but a tad unlikely I would suggest.
Manos- The Hands of Fate? Have not seen or even heard of it. A quick google search showed much much hate lol....something about a polygamous satanic cult?? o_0
Did you ever see the film adaptation of Alone in the dark?! Holy Hell! that was the only film I have ever rated a 1.
I think they spent all their budget on the awesome metal soundtrack
IRaptus We understand getting caught up in the 3d hype.
The penance is tuning into MST3K and watching perhaps the worst movie ever made: Manos- The Hands of Fate. The crew's heckling helps the bitter pill go down ;)
I will sadly admit to seeing Avatar 4 times at the cinema in 3D, the visuals sucked me in.
I humbly apologise, I have seen the errors of my way XD
Sadly, I neither hear nor see any evidence of Walter appearing again at this point. I really hope to be wrong.
Hi dk :)
Hahahah, please don't waste your precious time on it!
I loved Walter.
Walter gets repaired by a group of returning Engineers, and teams up with them to stop David!
Cue epic space battle, 25ft Space Jockeys, Engy weaponry, multiple faction ship designs, all set in a Gigerverse. Oh I hope, hope, hope!
ps ....and some flute fingering....;)
Lone Long time- no see!.Thanks for the WARNO. I still have not seen Crapatar and have no intention in wasting time doing so.
AVATAR
What an incredible waste of time, money and resources. A massive ego trip, which would have been better served as a CGI cartoon series!
@dk Thank you very much.
If issues with copyright to be resolved and there will be though some financing, at least donations, a game will be on consoles.
IIapagokc I would be willing to take a graphical hit if it could be on PS 3. The game looks amazing.
@dk Just scrins of Unity. Work in progress.
At the expense of consoles, has not yet been decided, but it is possible.
Game play footage?
Is it compatible with PS3?
We have already $73.26.

Thanks for interest and help to the project.
Is Levallois the one who designed the Neomorph?
Few months before the concept posted here he made another one but for another creature, the "near morse".
I'm now over half way through - I get the sense it's more connected to Blade Runner than Alien!
I hate to say this, but I'm getting a bit bored with the story line now. I just hope the second half is better :(
I choose to believe that Walter's story will continue in Awakenings - I don't think we've seen the last of him.
No. David pretended to be Walter- just watch the ending. Nothing to debate really.
I do feel sad that we don't really know what happened to Walter and probably never will. Walter was good people.
joylitt Nice. Annihilation looks pretty good. The trailer seems interesting without giving too much away. Bring it on!
dk He adapted the original novel by Jeff Vandermeer. The author said the movie is great and that it reminded him of "2001: A Space Odyssey". The teaser is trending #1 on youtube, so the interest for this type of sci-fi is still there.
No. Just watched AC again. I don't think Upworth and Ricks were on David's mind at all. At that point in the movie, he was focused on the Morph and trying to pass himself off as Walter.
