So i bought the quadrilogy of Alien not long ago, watched the first yesterday and Aliens tonight and I couldnt help stop thinking how awesome RE4's engine would be for an Alien game.

LV-426 is Mostly dark, in constant storms of rain/snow, very foggy.
In door scenes, lots of strobe flashing, lighting flashes, smoke, fire, fog, color lights (i think RE4 is one of the best when it comes to that imo, its very cinematic the way it lights up the scene and the characters), either very cold (metal structure) or organic, which are both done so amazingly in RE4. Also RE4 kinda already has a model they could modify for the alien

And heck, the gameplay mechanics would be perfect for it, quick time events, camera view for a claustrophobic feel, good aiming system and in a way, its a thing i noticed in aliens is that they rarely move while shooting.

Sheesh, never gonna happen but i would kill for such a game, capcom doesnt have the alien vs predator franchise anymore far as i know but if one dev could handle the atmosphere of an alien movie, its Mikami's team.

And yes, capcom made the best alien game to day, alien vs predator on arcade, while Rebellion and Monolith did pretty good jobs with AvP 1 & 2 on PC, its not what it could be when in the right hands and with the right graphic engine, i think capcom is the ideal developer for this franchise.

You haven't fought Saddler's Right Hand have you...

no, Konami should get the Alien licence and make a game out of it with the MGS3 engine or save it for the future MGS4 / MG Next engine.

Konami made the best Aliens game ever in 1990 coin-op

Uhm, were you talking to me? I said "Also RE4 kinda already has a model they could modify for the alien " Thats a big enough of a hint without spoiling anything

I've finished the game twice now.

Funny, and what would the MGS3 engine bring to the table? I think you're confusing Alien with the Predator.

I think a (good) Alien game should be horror/adventure, with more focus on horror than action. It should be about what you can't see rather than what you actually see. Walking around with a flashlight, seeing something run past you in an almost dark room, hearing strange noises through a door. I would love an Alien game like that...

And I never played AvsP 1 and 2 (for PC)...maybe they're similar to what I just described?

Yes the orginal Capcom AVP was very good, but i will be happy with a new alien/alien vs predator game.......there are many good movie licenses that could turn in good games. The alien games from the past have been pretty good, didnt play the Konami one.......gotta check.....which arcade system did it run on?
