The idea of running around the familiar environments, in a pure bred based-on-the-movie-universe aliens game (without the AvP dilution of including predators or playing as aliens), in 4 player co-op, excites me a bit.
Allthough I'm reserved, in theory it sounds like the Aliens game I've wanted for the last 15+ years, but there are so many ways to screw it up and the game-screw-up-statistics of the last years are working against it.

Goddamnit - blatantly from a movie as those shots were, I'm getting excited now. This game had better be awesome.

I thought this game was wicked. very atmospheric and not heavily combat oriented.
I didn't know that Fox sued the company that developed it though... doesn't make much sense.

Yes, I vaguely remember it from old reviews... Cryo was a great studio a nd the game had quite advanced graphics for it§s time. Wish I could find it as abandonware somewhere at least, it must be a hard-to get rarity. :erg:

there actually was a survival horror-ish/adventure game loosely based on aliens for the sega saturn called enemy 0 (zero). it was teh shitz0r (on ones pants).
puzzle elements good and combat wasnt rambo like.
seeing as saturn emulators dont suck dick anymore i'd advise you to check it out if you can find it (and then bypass your twisted sense of morality).
i'd backup 100% any alien survival horror game though i do believe it would be rather dull or rather short.
i'll get back with some ideas on gameplay after i get back from work.
/me is interested.

Typical Fox. Give them the permission, then turn around and sue them.

Jesus, have you all forgotten that xenomorphs were the
original generic sci-fi bugs?
Aliens also introduced the first drop-ship which has been imitated to all hell since!

I'm pretty sure it's only the first one on film. They appeared in fiction and Battletech first.
