That is the stupidest
You really gonna frickin lie to me?
Pale skin almost translucent. Sickly looking. Non-visible mouth. No mechanical looking parts so it becomes more body horror. It stands out better than all other designs.
Nah, it's literally just a ripoff of the pale man from Pan's Labyrinth with an elongated head. The original xeno is far superior and scarier in every way.
Original demo is cool as frick, but it’s not really scary anymore. The neomorph is hideous, perturbing, and you don’t even see it’s mouth until it wants you to. (Usual when it’s eating you) Neomorph fights are also more brutal. Using its tail to whip your jaw off. Beheading you by chewing through your neck. Covenant was dumb but the alien scenes were great.
>cgi monster moves like le spoopy Japanese ghost
Frick off.
>moves like le spoopy Japanese ghost
Ahh, so you’re moronic I see. This thing was on all fours whipping jaws off. It moves more like a monkey. The adult version walks on twos.
I’ll give you the CGI comment though. Practical neomorph would of been way cooler.
>adult neomorph gets shwacked by like five rounds
>baby somehow tanks shotgun shells and entire AR magazines
This is moronic
what demo?
You 100% sound like you're getting paid to say this shit. You Disney shills have ruined the internet entirely. Frick you all.
Resurrection's baby thing looked better
This is terrible. Like a beluga whale had a baby with a chinlet incel
>Pale skin almost translucent.
Makes it too easy to spot in the dark.
>Sickly looking.
Looks weak & feeble compared to the xenomorph's biomechanical traits.
>Non-visible mouth.
Looks stupid as hell.
>No mechanical looking parts so it becomes more body horror.
Goes against Giger's original treatment for how the monster should look.
>It stands out better than all other designs.
It's completely inferior compared to Giger's creature. Doesn't even have acid for blood. Pathetic. Ridley's a hack & it reeks of studio meddling.
The original big chap is and always will be the best, most distinctive creature design but if you really insist on going down a more generic horror movie monster path even the newborn in Resurrection was miles better than the Neomorph
I’m just gonna say it. Alien was never that good but this shit is a fricking embarrassment.
This version is cool as frick. Even the way it impregnated people is a unique take.
>impregnated people
What does it do? I stopped watching at the pile of dogshit known as Prometheus.
It nasal sprays you in the nose. The egg spray then penetrates skin.
>Once inside a host organism, the motes burrow into their body, extend an ovipositor, and inject Agent A0-3959X.91 – 15 into a hosts bloodstream.The pathogen re-writes the DNA of the host and instigates the growth of a small tumor within a vein or arterial wall, within which the larval 'Bloodburster' rapidly gestates in a matter of hours, before violently emerging and killing the host organism.
Sounds gay. They really should have stopped at Aliens and the comics etc can frick right back off to Gay Street, Gaytown USGay.
They just can't stand waiting for the whole life cycle to play out anymore. People need to be infected and burst open within minutes now. And yet facehuggers are supposed to be an evolution over these microbes where no one even knows they're in danger.
These aliens have a 24hr life span. Can’t establish a hive.
The eggs are really small and moving away from it relatively slowly, protects you. A mask would stop it. Regular facehuggers can break glass.
>take
have a nice day my guy
This design sucks balls and is an embarrassment
i'm so upset about your comment i'm going to give you a (You)
>Alien was never that good
This.
It was always just an overrated slasher flick in space. It got praised for "le sexual imagery + metaphors in le sci-fi horror movie" shit at the time, which scared boomers + Gen-Xers shitless. Younger filmgoers don't find that crap """scary""" because, quite frankly, it never was. People back then just had a weaker constitution compared to today's generation.
Dan O'Bannon's original concept was far better than what Ridley & Fox came up with.
Maybe because im not a gay or a feminist but i never really thought about le sexual imagery.
Its the cinematography and set design that makes it cool.
I argue you could edit out every bit of the movie where you see the Alien and it'd still be good.
>Dan O'Bannon's original concept was far better than what Ridley & Fox came up with.
This completely outs your opinion as being uninformed and dishonest because the final film was far closer to the original concept than the crap that Fox with ~~*Giler/Hill*~~ wanted to make, because filming took place in the UK far away from Hollywood's prying eyes with O'Bannon on set giving Ridley Scott directions and basically reclaiming the movie as his own along with Scott.
I'm sorry, but a story about a race of intelligent beings whose young start out as feral beasts without proper parentage & raised in a bio-organic pyramid is infinitely more interesting & original than "le penis-head monster stalks dumbass space truckers" tripe. Deal with it.
its still there in the movie, prometheus implies this too.
Giger strongly implied it in his art. But its the other way around.
Engineers are the peaceful smart stage of the xeno
This was as much Scott's idea as it was O'Bannon's
I've always said that I'm a fan of the movie and franchise but I went to a screening of the original fairly recently and I was bored out of my skull for about 60% of it. I still 'like' it, but yeah.
the queen
Which version?
either the one from Aliens or idk the predator one was cool in AVP2 I think
isnt that like a facehugger that kept growing?
looks too human
The human look makes it more distinct compared to the other variants.
Only postimg because blue
I've always been partial to the alien king from Alien Rogue. It's not that fancy looking but that works to make it more believable. So believable that I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen a live action version of it yet. Then again we haven't even seen praetariorans yet or any higher queens.
I'm glad. The idea there needs to be some actual 'royal hierarchy' with ever bigger monsters was stupid
If they make a movie they need to include this plot. The king would be a cool fight. But I miss the original tone. Isolation really shit on all Alien things after Aliens.
Man this thing is cool, but it definitely doesn’t look like xenon. It’s so far off from the baseline it ends up being a whole nother creature.
What the frick is this?
Which scene?
it's a big facehugger without bones
Oh yeah. But it comes from the Decon line. I just don’t like the Decon.
>What the frick is this?
It's the alien from the movie Altered. It's a low budget sci-fi horror movie about a group of friends who were abducted and experimented on by aliens years ago. So a couple of the group decided it would be a good idea to capture one of the aliens and get revenge. The main plot of the film is them in a house with the alien and shit ensues. It's actually really good, the alien suit work is really good, decent atmosphere, tension, horror, some action. The acting is pretty solid throughout and it has a fairly short runtime. I'd definitely recommend giving it a chance.
The books don’t give praetorians justice.
Is it holding a person?
What does an Alien King do? What's his tax policy?
Shaw's baby was the scariest thing in Prometheus.
It was definitely the highlight of that colossal disappointment.
After Prometheus was over all I wanted was more engineer vs big squid-vegana. Still a 8/10
It's nitpick, but it's really stupid how big it got without a food source
The only good scene in the whole movie involved it so its ok i guess
Unused
Xenomorph space jockey
Can’t find any more photos. But I like the vertical tubes.
Alien Queen design is so clean. The “crown” is more sexual allegory and completely fitting.
Somehow the eye really works here.
kek no they dont
Giger did a bunch of these eye designs and I think they look just fine. The eyelessness definitely works in its favor but they're not a terrible addition.
>they look just fine
It makes them look like they were little grey men and this doesn't work for a creature like the Xenomorph unless you want to do a parody.
Having no eyes adds a lot to their general strangeness because it makes you wonder how they're able to orient themselves in the world. With eyes they would be a little bit too human-like.
In the modern day that type of wonder is seen as a plot hole. To make the monster work for today's audience it has to have all of its abilities on full display and fully rationalized with pseudoscientific explanations or else it doesn't make sense and is moronic.
I think the eyes are also meant to make it resemble the classic Grey Alien from the front
Some of the concept art for the first movie had those kind of eyes
good thing they removed it because it looks goofy
also, eyes offer a window into the soul, and xenomorphs have no soul
That's why they're entirely black
Shit movie. But I like the predalien
Predator is a million times more interesting than the morphs. Honestly they should just try a film with no humans and a predator fighting for his fricking life against these bastards. It would be cool to see a story entitrly focused on a pred including what they do when they are backed into a corner. Basically we can see a predator be the prey this time, taking the humans role
Absolute fricking dogshit opinion, go make your own thread.
Who cares what a Black person thinks
Both are fine, imo. It's pointless to pit the best against each other when so many shit franchises already exist.
The proto
The bone look, made these things look like statues/mummies.
You’d have to eat humans.
The spikes aren’t on the final design.
Digitigrade legs are too much to me. Human legs fit better.
>You’d have to eat humans.
I'd eat her royal jelly
they said the human legs look moronic animated
This. It doesn't look scary running with human legs. They made the right choice
Isolation without digitigrade is just big chap.
Imagine
Considering xenomorph Queens are intelligent I reckon one could consent, although I'd prefer to initiate the relationship while it was still small and human sized. Imagine being curled up with one after you fricked the cloacae hole where it egg sack forms, then when she's good and ready for round two she uses her second mouth to suck your wiener. Then when she's a mighty queen you'd be the sole human allowed to enter, and you could spend all day in her chamber going round after round fricking her any way you wanted.
those spikes on its back would just get in the way as it turns its head
bad design
something like this would be better
i also gave it a thicker neck as a more plausible means to support its big ass head
Alien Isolation had the best design. Translucent skull like Big Chap, but digitigrade legs.
it's the original exactly but with the legs from 4
Yep, and that’s why it’s incredible. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Take design aspects people loved and mix em up as long as it looks good and makes some sense.
Such a memorable game. Hated it lol
You can check out the game Scorn, the designs in that are based mostly on Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński.
The skull inside the xeno head is really creepy. Reminds me of the bear in Annhilation
There is something horrific about crossing DNA and that a part of the host DNA lives on inside the monster
That bear scene is the only part of that film that is actually any good.
yeah this. people talk about annihilation as if it's any good but it's a slog.
This game was to me the best conveyor of the whole Alien experience/concept. That feeling of despair, relentless pursuit and the way it keeps you going on in spite of absolute hopelessness. A true masterpiece.
Shaw is the scariest alien
Not really the design but the concept is cool
This is just Lilith. If the xenos weren’t there, this wouldn’t even be Alien recognizable. jerk off before you post.
i said... the design isnt the important part its the concept.
Its an entity that appears in the dreams of people that get facehugged. Its possibly not even real but its the xenomorph god.
Think before you post.
Why the frick would xenomorphs of alll creatures have a God?
All creatures need a God. Even perfect beings like the xenomorphs
Who let Weyland post here?
Dumb idea, it would only make sense if it was the Queen, Empress, or Queen Mother. Aliens are primal.
it's a primal aspect of the xenomorphs in the form of a woman
It’s a shit design and shit concept.
you're shit
Pseudointellectual crap like this is why Predator was consistently more entertaining than Aliens
Nobody gives a shit about predator dude I'm sorry.
Only reason that Ninja Turtle looking motherfricker ever got a franchise is because the suits decided to hitch it to the Alien universe.
Ironic that Alien, a movie about parasites, is parasitized on by Predator cucks.
>immediate appeal to popularity
Yeah pseudointellectual is right, dayum
I win
key point is its not necessarily real its a physiological thing from the victim's psyche
The original Big Chap works as a single entity because of the translucid cranial dome and the fact that you can see the humanoid skull behind said dome.
But let's face it, the redesigned and reinvented xenomorphs from Aliens as well as their Queen was so good and iconic it spawned countless copies and rip-off.
So basically, a xenomorph version of Sil/Eve from the Species movies?
Reminds me of the various designs of the Kenner toys from the early 90's.
Looks like one of the dozen xeno knock off
giger did lots of female designs like that one
Because writers are hacks.
This is moronic.
God awful.
I remember seeing something in comics ads looking xenos but it came before the movies.
Anything by Giger
sexy biomech waifu alien when?

I love your comment so much I’m not going to give you a (You).
No one posted this yet. A fricking crime.
i dont like it
too heavy looking
It’s a Rex, do you expect it to be as light as a feather?
Looks like a gorilla homosexual.
>It’s a Rex, do you expect it to be as light as a feather?
nah, something like this would be better
You’re pulling my leg. It looks like a hadrosauridae. It would be impossible to stand up. Especially with a head that big.
dude, i would give the sketch to an artist and have that person work with a zoologist to figure it out
damn, im the director, not the concept artist
homie nobody boule make that shit idea work. The alien head is way too big to be on an anorexic body that size. It would topple over. You’re a shit director.
ALL the xenomorphs have big fricking heads, you dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got damn...
Xenos already push the idea, but they are plantigrade. And relatively balanced. A trex alien is far too front heavy and could not hold itself up. Do better.
how bout this
i gave the xenosaur exhaust pipes thats directly connected to its lungs
the exhaust pipes also acts as an intake, thus aiding the creature as it moves due to its extensive size - more oxygen feeding into its lungs, the better
also, dinosaurs have small brains, meaning the exterior may look big, but its not housing anything of significant size in there
i also gave the second mouth eyeballs for kicks
plus, we havent seen that before
This is also moronic.
im the director and i say i like it
and the way the dumb scientists kill the xenosaur is to poison the air
they find out the exhaust pipes work independently from the rest of the xenosaur's body - constantly drawing in oxygen in order to keep the creature alive
so, even though the xenosaur is smart enough to not breath in the poison air, its exhaust pipes arent, and feed the poison directly into the creature's body, eventually killing it
the scientists die as well because theyre stupid
Are you a toddler?
thats fine if you dont like it
critics often offer no ideas of their own mainly because they dont have any
Trex over the crocodile? homosexual.
Meh, dont find those creepy as a regular xeno.
Look more like something out of Starship Trooper or a Starcrsft unit, menacing in a war scenario type of way, but not really creepy
Forgot about ripoffs
Man what drugs was he on
I loved the alien toys as a kid in the early 90s
Opium, he offered some to Dan O'Bannon (one of the guys that wrote Alien) the first time they met. When O'Bannon asked him why he took opium, Giger replied "because I am scared of my visions" when O'Bannon replied "it's only your mind" Giger responded "That is what I am afraid of."
Giger didn't need drugs to paint the things he did, because he painted the things he saw in his nightmares. He took drugs to NOT see this stuff.
>BRO I CANT STOP SEEING veganaS AND PENISES AND DEAD BABIES AND STUFF
Uh... smoke a joint maybe and play some valheim?
The brood
God bless Frank Cho.
cute!!
sex
God imagine if this is what we got instead of that manly looking Sigourney Weaver
It would be tacky, not to mention less believable. Sigorney is better as an everywoman type character.
Or rather as a kind of lanky butch woman who can fulfill a heroic masculine role without being "manly"
For an everywoman, see Lambert
Because the 7 foot creature with acid blood and a small mouth inside the big mouth is believable
People were cool with Kristy Swanson as Buffy killing vampires
All jokes aside I'm aware that Sigourney was great in her role, I'm just joshin'.
I'm personally a big proponent of really sexy fit babes in scifi and fantasy.
I think with Alien because the film involves the entire crew dying but the heroine. People would just laugh and yell bullshit at the screen if the hot babe survived by luck.
in all seriousness if the heroine was a stereotypical babe, i think most people would have walked out of the cinema.
90% of the original movie's success was because of Sigourney Weaver.
Digitigrade unguligrade or plantigrade? Best leg type?
Digitigrade
Plantigrade. The alien needs to stand up right to get a good sense of it's size. It looks smaller when it's always leaning forward or on all fours.
Jerry is the coolest
Maybe not the best, but I remember this fricker really creeping me out as a kid, even more so than the regular xenos. Maybe because I was used to them by then, or maybe it's because it looked weirdly human. Or maybe its because of the way it died. But its the best part of the shittiest alien movie
my chest looks like that
Based transanon
He even had a neovegana!
obsessed
Shut the frick up, he's right.
It's actually designed to look like a wiener-c**t fricking itself.
Lol imagine getting offended for that. Are you genuinely a troon?
>Dimue
I know that german homosexual! He scammed me on the RPF forums years ago! His name is Dirk Muller.
Never catched until now that it’s skull was exposed and with the skin on the back it looks like foreskin on a dick, nice continuation of Giger’s weird sexual designs
Absolutely nobody liked this thing. The 4th movie sucked in so many ways, not least of all the fact that all the aliens in this movie look like sentient piles of slimy poop.
>The 4th movie sucked in so many ways
holy pleb taste
This shit looks like a ghoul. I wouldn’t think alien first seeing it. But the body horror is nice.
The OG.
This is 2nd place.
Frick off, Ridley.
Giger himself made the poop comment. And I can't be Giger because he's dead.
yeah its true Giger thought the xeno was supposed to be aesthetic not disgusting
the best part was kim flowers ass
>people don't even realise the xeno is supposed to be female
It's why they made Engineers big buff white dudes. Ying and yang
White men fricking black women
you know the urns with black goo are in the original Alien script
for me it's

>What is the best alien/xenomorph design?
The Tarkatan Xenomorph in Mortal Kombat. This is a REAL KILLER.
The Praetomorph from Covenant is the only good thing from that garbage movie.
This one is really good. It's different enough from the original Xenomorph to make it unique but still has the same menacing look. All the others look like monsters of the week in the style of
The fact that they replaced the perfectly good looking, fully practical suits with CGI fricking sucks. I get the CGI for the parts of the movie where it's running around on the ship or leaping, but standing or walking around?
I'm usually on the anti-cgi bandwagon but Alien would definitely benefit from a cgi monster, just to have it move in inhuman ways and not make it look like a guy in a suit.
No suits. Animatronics and CGI is the way to go.
They need to do both, its better when you actually have the costume and you touch it up with cgi
>Praetomorph
>ywn
feels bad man
I'M A SHARK! SUCK MY DIIIIIICK!
Of all the designs, I'd love this one to happen the most.
all these animal-xeno hybrids look like shit
heres a more refine process of my xenosaur
cumsaur
the xenosock of the brood
most aggressive xeno definitely
The original, but I have a soft spot for the runner in Alien3
All "versions" of the alien suck except the original because the very idea of having different aliens in every movie serves no purpose except to cause this stupid power creep where every threat has to be bigger than the last one. Also to sell more stupid toys.
I liked the idea of different variants based on what they hatched out of.
It makes sense for it to have a slightly different form based on the host
I personally think the only reason that the original Alien would look so extremely humanoid is because it came from a human. That makes sense. But then in subsequent designs they didn't stick to that enough. Like the dog/bull alien from 3 only walked on all fours but had the same humanoid arms/face/proportions as the first one. Also the queen throws a wrench into just about everything thats cool about the xenomorph biology and how it basically has no predetermined shape.
There's species of wasps that inject their larva into other creatures in a similar way, and they all come out the same. So the xenomorph is similar to that, but with some slight differences based on the host.
Those wasps don't have a queen either.
this. I also personally prefer the egg-morphing idea that was ditched, the queen fricks things up for me. I know they weren't creative enough after the first to think of it, but any different alien should have all human traits replaced with the traits of what its from. using the original xeno design as a strict base for everything afyee is moronic. let the fricking dog xeno have a dog skull in its head, less human adjacent features.
I can take or leave the egg-morphing. All it really needed to procreate was to somehow impregnate other humans itself, maybe even with multiple chest bursters. Basically like normal parasitism works, you don't need a queen or egg morphing getting in the way.
The actual sad thing is that the xenomorph isn't scary at all in covenant, unlike this thing.
>bull alien
>scorpion alien
>gorilla alien
could a gremlins 2 style alien film work? like they break into some kind of spaceship zoo?
genius idea
Panther alien was mas favourite as a kid. Bought the toy too. Not sure if it has been featured in any game or comic.
This is an off-shoot of the runner alien. But there's various types across the extended media, including a snake alien with small, centipede-like limbs.
I liked the unused engineer xeno design from the scrapped Prometheus script
the feet design is sick
they shouldn't have had any creatures in Prometheus.
The xeno connection should have been a mural of one
True but the original script was much better than whatever Ridley shat out anyway.
Prometheus is still decent as a horror movie if you ignore all the alien references.
the og script had "cute" baby alien mutants
very lizard like
Looks like a dragon foot. Frick off scalie.
thats just the regular design but big
xeno werewolf?
Tell me xenotists
How does a facehugger gets anything than a human or a small animal?
The shape is litterally designed for humanoids. You are showing fricking T REX xeno but how would that even work in the first place?
the face huggers come in different sizes
ie the squid monster in prometheus
there was also an unused proto-facehugger in Covenant that looked like a slater bug
Heres the proto facehugger in question.
Why boner
Because it looks like a sperm cell and you're gay.
Can you buy one of these anywhere? Asking for a friend haha
The design is impractical. Looks like a fricking isopod, which means it can't jump and latch on to its victim. No wonder it was rejected. Dumb idea.
That's literally just a pillbug jesus christ
squid monster / neomorph / Covenant "normal" looking alien are just prototypes
A few decades later for all we know there is only one Xenomorph species left, which is the one we see in the original movie and that's why Weyland is so interrested in it
i think the prequels imply that xenos related species just reproduce in an unpredictable way.
For examples spores leading to one just ripping itself out of your body.
Its just completely dangerous to life.
i think Prometheus suggested theres different types of facehugger species
ok so basically if you ignore all the movies but 1. Also ignore the deleted scenes.
You are left with the question how does it reproduce.
Well the answer is the egg is the initial stage and it creates a critter than puts a larvae in a host. Now the host acts as the carrier for the larvae.
So if you have just the xenos how does it keep reproducing? well it skips the egg and face hugger stage and just inserts a larvae directly into a body.
That would also imply that the spore infestation like in covenant making neomorph is actually the best thing designed. The process of making an egg then a facehugger and a chest buster, both very vulnerable are not the best thing in the evolution system.
Meanwhile a fricking spore out of nowhere you can't even see gets into your body and you are fricked, making directly a creature able to kill right after it's birth.
Whole thing made the xenomorph we see in the original movie not a perfect being like Ash described but rather imperfect compared to a neomorph
Short story : Ridley Scott is a senile old man
>Meanwhile a fricking spore out of nowhere you can't even see
What about the obvious mushroom you can see from 100 feet away and flamethrower safely?
those things are like the size of chicken eggs and they completly blend in with the nature around
Well its of my opinion that the xenomorph is ancient more ancient than the Engineers seen in Prometheus.
It is to Engineers what dinosaurs are to us.
Its possibly a 'natural' occurring alien organism they found. Rather than made, thought they may have also tinkered with it.
The spores are related to their goo technology they developed which is taking the concept of the xenos deadly lifecycle and making it many more times virulent, turning it into a weapon that makes non-plant life impossible. This us because the Engineers were life hating schizo gnostics.
How do the spores get through a space suit?
Or even a gas mask
On paper, the spore concept is far more convenient, but lore-wise, it completely trivializes the xenomorph life cycle & renders it as a waste of time and resources. It just boils down to bad writing.
the goo was a weapon, i think its strongly implied that david dropping the goo contaminated the entire world making it hostile to fauna.
At least it's not to the point of the landscape being made out of petrified goo-infected corpses
Thats the point of the goo it creates an "eden" with no meat, cause space gnostics are vegan schizos.
About the biggest animal that survives is bugs and they carry the pathogen (in the movie they literally have a skull on their body lol)
I pretty much agree with this. Xenomorphs, if they're supposed to be a weapon, should be mostly self-replicating and wouldn't need eggs, per se. The eggs would just be their method of "activation" after which they take care of themselves, possibly by infecting hosts with multiple chest bursters. Getting just 1 burster from every 1 host isn't exactly efficient.
i think the egg is also logically easy to explain.
When a xeno runs out of hosts it uses its remaining energy to create an egg. That will lay dormant for thousands of years until a new host arrives.
>possibly by infecting hosts with multiple chest bursters
That's basically the Predalien's method of reproduction in a nutshell (i.e. raping people in the mouth via forcing chestburster embryos down their throats), but no one liked AVP: Requiem.
this shit is fricking gay
i dont care about any of this shit,
that being said, i cant believe ive made it this far larping as a fan
fricking dorks...
Theres 1 (one) reason alien worked, and its gigers art.

Do you think Jones ever saw Ripley naked
>giger had a fit young attractive wife
>probably drove her to suicide with this pic
God damn it giger control your edgy tism you had it in the bag
>a picture drove a woman to kill herself
yeah nah she was probably mentally ill which is why she and his demented art and crypt keeper personality probably went well together
she might've killed herself because she got pregnant. she killed herself in front of his paintings, possibly in front of her portrait
?t=2004
>we could just continue putting out fun Aliens vs Marines movies/shows/games and basically print money forever
>nah, gay, let's put out slop everyone hates forever
I hate them. I do hate them.
Alien gays need to understand this:
A man in a slimy bone suit with a penis head was scary when noone had seen it before in the 1970s
It's not scary any more.
The 80s were forty years ago.
Move on.
The alien doesn't need to be scary, it needs to be threatening.
The Deacon. I like its name, I think its neat.
since this is related i found the most schizo Alien blog by some guy.
It's weird because it has posts that are very informative on Alien and lucid.
Then the blogger will make posts where they examine things like giger art in comparison to related images,
Then Alien stuff to completely unrelated images.
Then images that are both unrelated to alien at all.
Every detail in them he will analyze,
Also none of the posts are dated
alienexplorations? good blog but most of the comparisons are moronic, yeah
Sauce please
Gonna ramble. Engineers motivation is sex is bad cause they are gnostics, so they removed sex all together from their species.
They HATE sexually reproducing animals because fricking is gross obviously.
They then created goo to make it impossible for sexually reproducing organisms or animal life in general to exist. Because all life is impure and thats what it deserves.
The Xenomorph is their thinking is like the goo. If you can overcome their little WMD you can ascend to the spiritual plain. If you can't, you die because you suck and are gross.
David being an android had ascended to a point higher than even the engineers because hes totally immune. Which explains his total contempt for them.
>Which explains his total contempt for them.
Could it also be due to his more analytical mind interpreting the Engineers culture and goals as being a religious worship of Nihilism, and this contempt is partially stemmed from his resentment at their inability to understand meaning, much like he's also seen modern humanity do
>Engineers motivation is sex is bad cause they are gnostics, so they removed sex all together from their species.
>They HATE sexually reproducing animals because fricking is gross obviously.
So, they're basically space israelites?
no gnostics addicted to gnocchi
Sounds like a more fricked up version of Zardoz tbh.
Making it white is fricking stupid. He's supposed to blend with the shadows
Obviously the Deacon, you stupid ape!
I remember someone posted some alien pics here about alien pyramids. Looked neat.
The Egg Silo, a concept that was repurposed into the derelict for the final version.

I thought Scorn was a-okay. The gun combat felt pointless and the puzzles were fine. The giger art direction was spot on.
The art direction and sound design were its only saving graces. The overall gameplay was too boring otherwise & lacks the incentive of replayibility.
its like the only game that lets you immerse yourself in the world of Alien.
Until someone makes a rpg.
Scorn was too fleshy and not boney and metallic enough. Especially not ghostly enough.
Giger's art has that ghostly look to it or rather that stretched out coral+dirty calcified cavern look.
Giger's art is basically sci-fi Lich/Necromancer.
I loved it, really interesting lore and aesthetic. it's too short though, I wish it'd a dlc
I read somewhere that Alien: Isolation's sequel will be taking some ideas from Scorn, particularly in terms of art direction and overall vibe.
if that's true I'm gonna coom, that'd be the perfect game to me
Obviously to be taken with a grain of salt but I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out true
they should hire the guys behind scorn. they're working on something that's not scorn now, could be this
The team behind Alien Isolation seems a lot more competent than the guys behind Scorn.
Beautiful art, gorgeous graphics, terrible gameplay loop.
All games have a repeating loop unless it's multiplayer, which has a degree of unpredictability
>All games have a repeating loop
Yes, but Scorn isn't fun. It's boring.
I found it fun enough. It's more of a survival than an action shooter though. Often times, the best course of action is to move past the creatures instead of attacking them.

Only those who were adept at aping Giger.
They said there IS a queen on Sevastopol. Such a good idea not to show it or have a silly boss battle though
you can hear her in the hive area
That sounds fricking moronic.
in what way?

Eleleth explains that Sophia created a product like an aborted fetus that became an arrogant beast resembling a lion. The ruler created seven offspring and called himself god of the entirety. However, Zoe, the daughter of Sophia, cast the ruler, named Yaldabaoth, down into Tartaros. His offspring Sabaoth repented and was given charge of the seventh heaven.
Sabaoth creates a four-faced chariot of cherubim. Sophia places her daughter Zoe on his right and an angel of wrath on his left. The left side comes to represent unrighteousness while the right side represents life. Yaldabaoth becomes envious and produces an androgynous offspring, envy, that engenders death.
Tártaros)[1] is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans.
>nobody posted this beauty giger made for alien 3
i believe Giger wanted the original alien to be like this, like a woman. They even had a female model lined up to play it
That would've sucked though, much like his original chestburster idea.
The Alien being a ghoulish genetic copy of Kane works way better than it looking female for some reason.

Last time I played this was a decade ago but every now and then I get an urge to do it again so I might join.
They should've kept the semi translucent domepiece so you could see the human Skull underneath
In space no-one can hear you ooga booga
If anyone likes Alien Isolation, there's a digital series on the Alien Anthology youtube channel that turned it into a multi part movie. It has additional scenes of Amanda floating in space and she's narrating what happened as a log in case she dies. She also float by some debris and sees sleeping xenos clinging on who have gone into hibernation
For me it has to be Sarah Gadon.
