When I spoke to the guy at their booth @ Comicon he said that O3 was publishing it and that it should be done within a few months.

 

[Mashing]

I like the art direction in this game

Is it getting a simultaneous launch on the PS2 and GC?

 

[MrAngryFace]

[Archaix]

WHAT?!? How did I not hear about this?!! I absolutely love the flash game.

 

[op_ivy]

[Wario64]

[Sergenth]

This is what happens when Flash games evolve into greatness!

Play the original Flash version by synj --

Alien Hominid Flash game

 

[DSN2K]

incredible cool.

 

[pcostabel]

I think I'm in love...

 

[raYne]

Whoa... where did this come from?

Earthworm Jim + Metal Slug = fun!

 

[Archaix]

Seriously, this game just leapfrogged every game not named Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne on my anticipation list.

Was this just announced or have I had my head up my ass about this game?

The flash version has been around for a long time. It was originally announced for the consoles something like 8 months ago, iirc but now it's finally being shown. I've been frothing for this one ever since it was announced because I loved the flash game so much.

 

[Mejilan]

The flash game was a lot of fun. This could be fantastic, and visually, I am QUITE pleased.

 

[AeroGod]

Lol. I remember the flash game. This is cool

I knew about the flash game, but as far as I was aware, that's all it ever was. The flash version is one of my favorite flash games. I had no idea this was announced. Bad me! Bad! Go sit in a corner!

Dan Paladin is the creator of this. He runs a site called synj.net which had some great xmas cards a while back.

He also worked on Whacked! as the character artists and concepts. He has some of the strangest ideas. Quality stuff.

HAHA. This is from their FAQ.

Q: Are you guys hiring?

Not at the moment! We need to sell a few copies of Alien Hominid before we can consider expanding. Please don't send us your resume unless you worked on Gunstar Heroes.

 

[jett]

Heh! Looks pretty damn cool, I love the rough look of the sprites. The only thing that needs work are the far-off backgrounds, like those mountains in the "snow" levels.

[MrPing1000]

cool, im in one of the screenshots.

Sue the bastards

 

[Senretsu]

Steakery Cakery! lol!

This is the first I've heard of this game, looks awesome!

edit: just watched that video, good stuff

 

[Mr_Furious]

Is it getting a simultaneous launch on the PS2 and GC?

Didn't ask but both games were equally playable on both of those platforms at Comicon so I'd assume yes. Have no idea about Xbox though.

 

[Kiriku]

The flash game was kinda fun, as far as flash games go. A bit standard though, from what I can recall. Will be nice to see how much better it will look with a proper release though.

EDIT: Just read up on the game, seems like it will be very different and improved compared to the flash game.

 

[Andy787]

cool, im in one of the screenshots.

Haha.

This looks awesome, it'll definitely make a nice addition to my Cube's growing collection of weird insanity.

 

[Culex]

Holy Shit, this is fucking amazing!

 

[Matlock]

I wonder if the public will buy into a cutesy old-school shooter with M-rating-amounts-of-violence?

Maybe, maybe not.

But...I shall have it.

 

[DDayton]

I've been waiting for this game for the past 8 months.

 

[NotMSRP]

Thanks for bringing this great game to my attention. Long live 2d run n' gun!

 

[kaching]

man, the flash game is hard on the hand. Can't wait to play it with a gamepad.

If the price is right

 

[radios shipping overview]

This is a definite buy. The Flash game is a great Metal Slug clone, and the full game looks like it adds a ton.

 

[FoneBone]

and the preview sounds great http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/alienhominid/preview_6103739.html

Damn, this sounds awesome -- sounds like the final product will be really polished. I doubt it'll sell, but that it's even getting published is great.

 

[kaching]

SCEA will never let this through.

 

[drohne]

that looks amazing. metal slug meets earthworm jim, almost. with the best explosions i've ever seen. if it animates half as well as its drawn, i think my wee fanboy heart shall burst. and if it plays well...

 

[nitewulf]

DAAAAAAAMN, this game kicks ass....i never played it before!!!!
NICE!!!!! its totally gunstar heroes, with earthworm jim graphics/animation.
pretty hard though...

 

[jett]

SCEA will never let this through.

They fuckin' better.

 

[jarrod]

I doubt SCEA will have a problem with it actually. They're pretty hit or miss, but I've got a good feeling about Alien Hominid...

 

[NotMSRP]

It has to be priced at $14.99 to get pass the retards at SCEA.

 

[SolidSnakex]

SCEA will never let this through.

Unless the game is really bad, there's no reason Sony would shoot it down.

 

[jarrod]

Not to imply SCEA only shoots down bad software, right?

Really SCEA Product Approval is mystery, fluctuating standards and little direction. And everyone seems to be afraid of it. :/

 

[StrikerObi]

I hope it controls better than the flash version. I have a hell of a time with the flash one. If this controls exactly like Metal Slug then it'll be golden.

 

[kaching]

No. This is SCEA. They're Ogres.

 

[AlphaSnake]

cool, im in one of the screenshots.

Hahaha, that's awesome.

 

[ThirstyFly]

I haven't even heard of this, but now I bleed for it!

Their website says they're aiming for a Thanksgiving release... like there wasn't enough games I had to buy in November... Gotta get this though. Yup.

 

[DemonCleaner]

amazing art style
