Obsidian to work on Alien RPG |
Ó
Chestbusters and more Giger monstrosities are soon going to be invading next-gen consoles and PCs, thanks to Sega and Obsidian Entertainment, with the former announcing today that the latter has been tapped to create a role-playing game based on the "Alien" film franchise.Since its 1979 debut, Alien and its three sequels have grossed more than US$ 557 million worldwide, garnering numerous awards, including two Academy Awards. Alien was even deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress in 2002 and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
"We are thrilled to be working with the great production and publishing teams at SEGA to deliver the ultimate in-depth Alien experience to gamers worldwide," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. "Building an epic RPG with a license as heralded as the Alien franchise is truly a great honor."
Obsidian will be drawing upon their wealth of experience creating successful games such as the best-selling Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: Sith Lords and the award-winning Neverwinter Nights 2 to bring the "Alien" franchise to RPG fans for the first time. Here's hoping that it lives up to the sense of claustrophobia and terror that drove the film franchise to worldwide success.

too bad it will be ruined by it being an RPG. it needs to be a FPS.
Why an RPG? Alien is (and has always been) action/FPS material. If they want to branch 'away' from the FPS genre, they should just go with a 3rd person shooter like RE4.
Sorry, but I don't see Ripley doing side-quests on a ship full of facehuggers...
a franchise with almost unlimited potential, why do they hate it so. anyone remember the wannabe alien vs predator rts?
why is it bad too be a rpg?
Think Phantasy Star...but with the Alien Theme...having missions to go to certain planets...
or it could be an ACTION RPG where you just fight(like you would in a 3rd person shooter) and level up and do missiosn that way.
