Alien Game in Development at Cold Iron Studios
| Quote: | FoxNext Games has acquired Cold Iron Studios, and the studio is gearing up for development on a new title set in the Alien cinematic universe.
According to FoxNext's announcement, the game will be a shooter for PC and unspecified consoles.
Cold Iron Studios is led by CEO Craig Zinkievich, CTO Shannon Posniewski, and creative director Matt Highison. The development team includes industry veterans who've worked on various high-profile titles, including BioShock Infinite, Metroid Prime 3, Neverwinter, and City of Heroes.
"We are thrilled about the opportunity to explore an amazing and rich universe," Zinkievich said. "Our background in building online worlds and taking established franchises to the next level in interactive entertainment is a precise fit with our product roadmap ahead; we can’t wait to share more information soon." |

Though come to think of it while FOX owns the Alien franchise SEGA would be the ones owning the Alien: Isolation game series...
(Well game since only one was ever made but fans have been asking for a sequel for a while.)
So that leaves I guess an original entry then?
No idea who owns Aliens Vs. Predator either after the last two entries but it's probably not going to be that.
They do have two MMO games in that lineup of developers and where they are from too so it could be something with online play though I doubt it'll be a MMO as such.

I really want this to turn into something great, but my M314 is going insane with the loud beeping. Let's hope it's just a cat and not the menacing threat that the last paragraph is suggesting

They could make a marines vs aliens team-based online shooter with lootcrates and microtransactions. Or a Destiny clone maybe.

please.. please dont let this be an isolation sequel.
i KNOW that creative assembly and sega wont be making a sequel, but at least let me hold on to that impossible hope. i DONT want an alien isolation 2 if its just going to be a shooter (as is what these guys are making)
basically they fucked it. they rescued alien from absolute failure, and now theyre diving right back in by going back down the same old tired shooter route.

Dude, they hinted at something online, how can it be Isolation 2?
A good idea would be to follow the Killing Floor 2 formula, a team of marines of different classes, they defend against a wave while a door opens or a vessel arrives or something ... then they restock and upgrade their shit, choose perks, set up turrets, enable synthetics, hack consoles to close hatches or unlock weapon cabinets etc, then they have to survive another wave and so on ... until a boss battle.

because the first thing out of JBeckman's metaphorical mouth was "isolation 2?" so he seems to feel based on the information available, its a possibility.
i dont think it is, but if others are suggesting it, then im definitely going to express my hope that it isnt.
that said.. imagine an isolation type online multiplayer experience, where you have a massive space station, and the other people on the station are other players...they might try to kill you for your supplies, work with you, or avoid you, all while trying to avoid aliens and synthetics. certainly some scope for something fascinating there... like day z if set on a space station and with aliens, but with a developer wasnt trash.

So I'm guessing NOT a sequel to Isolation.

Yes we all read shooter, but you'd be foolish to believe publishers and developers aren't experts in this industry at taking something great and fucking misunderstanding and ruining it by making it more action orientated...
That said... Again.. I don't think it's anything isolation related. sega and fox have expressed nothing but confusion, disdain and disinterest in the franchise sadly. They'd sooner make a colonial marines sequel than ever touch isolation again  |

Hope its nothimg like power generator switching for 20 hours.... That fuckig game is most overrated piece of trash Ive played. When You are not playing the same minigame for millionth time to restore power to yet another door, You just hide under the table for minuuuutes.

Is 2018 the year we cross over into the reality where Ixi's jpgs are no longer parody, just factual depictions of actual marketing material?
