MemberOvomorphApr-01-2012 4:25 PMWe don't know the plot of the movie yet, but I would totally love to play some nice Prometheus related video game. Maybe we could play for Weyland corp and gather resources for space expeditions like Prometheus with the aim of finding life outside the Earth. What about about terraforming? Terraform planets, build colonies, find ancient extraterrestrial artifacts. All this could be spiced with some interesting references to the facts from the Alien universe.

Yes I've heard about game developers consulting with Ridley about Prometheus, but Colonial Marines is going to be another shoot em up game with hundreds of Aliens attacking you and being massacred as if they were random zombies. Not that I don't like this genre but it seems like we've already had too much of that in the previous Alien games. There have never been an Alien game with strategical elements in gameplay. But now when the Prometheus introduces some new global and epic ideas and focuses more on Weyland corp it's research in terraforming, space travel, biotech etc we could have a smarter and deeper game.

MemberOvomorphApr-02-2012 8:05 AMI've allways dreamed of a real sci-fi game. Mass Effect is good but it's just an rpg-shooter with a sci-fi theme. EVE does an excellent job but misses the experience of being a valuble part of a ships crew. No game has ever pulled off using cool sci-fi gadgets in a meaningful way either.

MemberOvomorphJun-01-2012 1:35 PMI Like The Idea But Why Not Make It To where there are two species you can play
Species 1: Humans (AKA The Crew Members On Prometheus)
Species 2: The New Xenomorph (Newer Alien where you go out and infect humans and then kill others and get to the earth to infect and destroy)
But Anyway It Is A Great Start on an awesome idea
I Can See It Right now.... A Trailer For The Video Game and the rating would probably say Rated M For Mature Because The Film Is Rated R So Yeah
