Sevastopol hive:queen or egg morphing

I think it was egg morphing looking where some of the eggs were placed. In an interview with Creative Assembly, I think the lead guy alluded to the egg morphing when he was talking about how true to the movie he wanted to be.

That's what I've thought too.It didn't occur to me until the second time i played it.

One thing I considered during this part of the game was that with all the xenos we see come crawling out of the hive (and considering quite a few probably didn't make it out) it seems like quite a lot of egg morphs to not get one that yields a queen.

This leads me to believe that either there was a queen that you simply didn't encounter and she died during the destruction, OR the odds of getting a queen facehugger are actually very slim in general. Maybe it's even possible that queen facehuggers aren't made unless it's in a stable environment such as a planet (vs a ship in space).

I would have liked to have a queen.Maybe it would have been predictable,but it would of been great to run and hide from a queen.

I might still go with egg morphing though.

The backstory was there was a Queen on board.  They didn't want to reveal it because it would create an expectation that you'd have to fight it, which they didn't want.

I remember in a lot of fear i was exploring the hive and seek easter eggs...and hopefully find a queen..but nope...however i thought...hmm they gonna make a dlc of the queen...so i waited and nothing.

I really dont know but at this point in time fellas...queen is a reality to eggs.

Unless ridley changes that reality in ac with shaw. I dont see eggmorphing being a good idea for expanding xeno community.

I would see eggmorphing a good idea for the only possibility of breeding a queen..bigger egg...blabla u get the point.

I dont see a good idea for a normal queen egg being morphed randomly.

Instead..one time event eggmorphing for the queen to be born. And she pops eggs to multiply the hive population.

S.M. thanks.It makes sense

I wasn't aware of the hidden queen angle. I think I read on a thread somewhere on a different site that a queen could be heard. I played with good headphones and never heard anything like that.

I didn't know that either.Couldn't imagine where it could be heard.

I think i still like the egg morphing idea.Why not we never saw a queen.

I found a video on YT. I heard the scream but it sounded the same as the xeno.

Where was the scream?

The screams are at :08 and 1:57. Then he lures a xeno out at the end and hear it scream. Sounds pretty much the same to me. I always figured the xeno was finding other people to kill off screen.

Just watched it.I agree thats not a queen.I know those locations and i certainly don't think you'd hear a queen there.

I've heard it kill plenty off screen and they always scream like that.

The queen scream has less voice and more "air or breath" sound to it imo.

I agree very heavy breathing 

I did not know they originally planned to have a Queen on-board. Glad they left it out tbh, I prefer the egg morphing concept better. Shame it wasn't explored fully in the game.

Chris,

I saw some interviews with Creative assembly and they liked the egg morph idea but left it out since some gamers may not know about the DC and may not have understood if memory serves- was about five years ago.
