    So the budget could be less than 35M but also less than 75M… right

    Yeah math isn’t mathing here, or you know, the message of the post could be that there is no Alien game in the making.

    No the math is mathing, something below 30 is also below 70 🤣

    The source of this twitter user is questionable, especially at this stage with the features, but it does seem to be in development.

    at this stage

    the game being in development for 5 years and won't come out for 3 more, how is that any "stage" to consider its status and features?

    The checkmarks next to the listed features implies they're confirmed, which isn't the case. Always try to track down original sources!

    But it has a checkmark next to it. That means it’s confirmed.

    I mean they just announced that they're making an Isolation sequel and a lot of the features sound like it, especially AI adapting to the player. Could literally just be that and not a huge surprise.

    AVPGalaxy has a nice write-up on what's going on for anybody who wants to know. The Ripley-8 part of the rumor threw me, but I'm delighted by it.

    We already have Alien: Isolation sequel confirmed, if this is really a different game it looks like it's copying a LOT of Isolation's homework...

    While Ripley 8 works okay within Resurrection, having a superhero part-alien version of Ripley running around doesn't feel like Alien anymore.

    Now Ripley 8 in an Alien v Predator movie/game etc. I could wrap my head around more since those movies and as a expanded franchise has a different vibe from Alien.

    That being said, a quality game is a quality game, so we'll see.

    Nah, Creative Assembly who made the first one is doing the sequel. So Eidos Montreal doesn’t check out. I’ll take a second AAA Alien game in development.

    Great to be getting a new Alien, Aliens or AVP game and will probably get it but unless it has the same game engine and mechanics as AVP2 on the PC I don’t know how its replay ability will be. There’s a community that still play AVP2 online after Sierra closed the servers and there’s a good reason why we keep coming back to AVP2 even with all these modern games.

    That guy is an engagement farmer. However, some sequel to alien isolation is probably in the works. There has been a couple games I know of since and I feel they know isolation was a fan favourite. Isolation did fall below segas expectations. But it was critically successful and they know it’s a safe bet. Maybe I’m just hoping too much. Isolation was my favourite game of that generation.

    More info

    "Documents also show at least three characters in the game. The main character Aubrey is an engineer who has the ability to use items like grappling hooks and magnetic boots, among others. Another new character is Ryuzo who uses the space station as his fortress and is likely an antagonist of some sort. *Finally, there’s Ripley 8.** In the movies, she was famously played by Sigourney Weaver and there’s an internal hope that she could reprise her role for the game. That said, only a first approach has been made as of now with nothing set in stone."*

    Yah that's so cool! Honestly one of my favorite characters and it's weird to me how many people conflate her with Ripley. Literally completely totally one hundred percent a new character. And that's what Weaver likes about her.
