Were you aware Obsidian entertainment was working on an Aliens themed role playing game for the console and PC? Well if you weren’t, bad news, it was cancelled. If you were, at least you can watch some
footage that was released over the weekend. (Which I guess seeing something cool that has been cancelled is also bad news)
Now the footages is from “an extremely early pre-production build” according to Matthew Rorie, PR/Marketing Producer at Obsidian Entertainment. First released on Kotaku, the video shows some game-play footage and allows us to experience the atmosphere of the game. After watching the video I must admit I share the same feeling the Kotaku guys had, it is quite dark. However, for an extremely early build the game dose look great.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately depending on your view, there is not much in the video that will tell you what the finished product would look like. You will see some environments, a little gunplay and some alien sound effects, but hey, it’s better than nothing.
Looks like Mass Effect in the Aliens universe.. Bad ass…
