Alien: Earth | Official Teaser

Ho no, Alien can't get a break. Another turd incoming, run as fast as you can.
The other day I was watching the last alien movie and I couldn't last 30 mins. What a piece of crap.
After that I watched the first 15 minutes of the first Alien movie and...what a difference. And don't know what it is that makes this movie so good. Is it the light? The cast? The sets? I don't know, but it is just believable and realistic.
 
Im convinced some of you are just programmed to hate anything new.

The Show Runner on this, knows his shit. Do your damn research before you blindly hate.

This will be good - book it.

Also worth pointing out that the writer and director of this is the guy who did Fargo. There does tend to be a bit of a cycle with Alien where people will convince themselves that the next thing will be good and then it's not. So maybe I'm setting myself up for that. But as I said above, Noah Hawley being involved has me interested.

That's not the Alien cycle that's the Sonic Cycle™ being appropriated by... I don't even know what to call these tards that gaslight themselves into believing anything past 3 was good

True, I've heard good things about him.

The problem is the teasers suck and do nothing to pull in general audiences or really excite me as an Alien fan.

The first teaser is just "Hey, something Alien is coming". Ok.

Second teaser is loud nonsense and screaming which is the opposite of what gets me excited for the things from the Alien franchise that have actually been good.
 
Alien, Terminator, and Predator are all in a 3-way race of which 80's sci-fi movies can we somehow keep making more content for that nobody really watches or likes. Just let these franchise die.

Nobody watches? Alien Romulus made 350 million on an 80 million budget.

Hell, it's 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and even on a less reliable site like IMDb, it's at 7.1.
 
These teasers are god awful. Makes me not even want to give it a chance for them to allow this crap to be shown to the public. Looks like some CGI shit from the late 90s.

Hey, touchfuzzy already set up the goal of "do people generally watch and like any of these new entries?" and I already proved, yes, generally Alien Romulus was well liked and definitely made bank. That's the goal I was given and I scored.

But your opinion has been noted.

Romulus made 350 mill worldwide. Thats actually pretty mid these days buuuuuut it was budgeted appropriately so its ROI was quite good.

Aliens, Predator, and Terminator are mid level IPs. They all struggle when handed a 150+ mill budget. You can see that these films USED to be super cheap, they got on through charismatic stars, a strong premise, GREAT directors, and solid filmmaking. But as budgets bloated and director quality dropped, the ROI just tanked.

These films MUST be kept on a tight budget and then they can consistently deliver. Why producers try to launch these IPs to the larger audience like capeshit films is beyond me (going after that crazy T2 high, I guess). I think you could serve up hard R flicks from these IPs every 5 years and make a nice bit of change each time if you stay on target with the audience.

Funny enough, even with that large budget for Terminator 3, they were still going to have to cut out part of a planned chase sequence and not shoot it as they were going over budget, but Arnold stepped in and funded that part himself because he liked the sound of the scene and didn't want it to be absent from the film.

Pretty awesome he's pay for that purely because he liked the part of the scene and wanted the movie to be as good as it could be in his eyes.

I liked a lot of T3 and that chase was awesome (in a year of awesome car chase sequences) but the overall tone and direction of the film was lacking. Mostow just wasn't the right director (I liked U-571 a lot but he wasn't going for that tense style in T3) and Nic Stahl was DEFINITELY not the right YA John Conner IMHO. I think they tried too hard to "age up" Edward Furlong rather than "deage" that hard bitten mofo we see in the future shots.

Is it set in modern day? Kinda hard to tell. I hope not.

Enough with these silly teasers, just release a proper trailer already.

- Set 2 years before the first 'ALIEN' film

So this is basically explaining how WY knew about the Aliens and why they diverted the Nostromo to the moon, to recover more specimens....
 
I recently watched 1-4 back to back, honestly Alien was the OG just because of that it's the original, I actually enjoyed 2 more on this rewatch it's been about a decade and some soldiers finally laying waste to them when properly prepared etc is a good humanity feeling.

3, My main issue was not continuing the story of 2. But I see what they where going for, a return to form of the first etc.

4, I get the hate but for the time period and after it maybe watching the third a few hours prior it wasn't as bad as I remember, the humanoid/alien at the end bit but yeah. A movie of the times.

Romulus, great back to form. However if I'm being honest I really want to see this series jump forward, no more jumping backwards or inbetween the previous movies. Set pieces and tech are more futuristic now so I want to see the series do a decent jump in time, spend more time on a planet, on a space station, do some more vast exploration on humanities quest.

Prometheus & Covenant I haven't got back to yet, decided to redo Riddick after a bit of burn out. That said I'll give this a chance.

It is. And Alien Rogue Incursion is great too if you have VR.

It's great if you like being sold half a game...

For those that don't know, the game was advertised as a full fledged story before launch, but the moment the game came out, they suddenly updated the logo and Store descriptions to say "Part I", and it ends on a cliffhanger.

Don't support shitty business practices, people.

Edit: To be clear, I don't think it's a bad game - the signature "Alien moments" are neat in VR, and it's got some good ideas... but given the Part I nonsense, I don't think it's worth the asking price.
Either wait for a sale and/or cheaper bundle when Part 2 comes out.

It's price was $40 at launch. So, I think that's more than fair. I had a blast and would have paid $60 though considering the experience and authenticity to the franchise. Not to mention they're active with patches.

In reality, they should have had the balls to end it on a cliffhanger without the part 1 shit. It was 9 hours long and a good campaign. Probably one of the best aliens campaigns since isolation.

$40 for half a game? What a bargain! /s

Isolation is like 20 hours and was $60 at launch.

Anyway, I'm not here to argue. I just wanted to give people the heads up.

So a full game is $60
Half a game would be, $30?

This game is $40. Scamming people for $10!

But seriously, I think its more than worth that price with this style of game.

Isolation comparison is irrelevant in terms of length. Completely different style of game. I can go play some 2d game that's 40 hours long and doesn't mean its better or holds more value for this reason.

There is a pretty distinct Predator sound effect at 1:04. Likely just a coincidence but would make for a fun cameo.
 
Last good Alien installment was isolation.

Romulus was memberberry bullshit with utterly retarded characters.

But I'll give Noah Hawley the benefit of the doubt here. He's got a solid record and seems to give a shit about the series. Just needs to focus on writing interesting, believable characters (the actual secret sauce of Alien and Aliens)

Oh its a "series"....fuck that Im out.

Streaming shows usualy mean horribly drawn out pacing which for Horror of all genre needs to remain intact. "Gotta create a suitable amount of content for our subscribers"....ugggghh.
