From the AMA thread, a verified QA tester for Aliens CM posted about the next game:

http://i1.minus.com/iTeTRho14DHI6.png

we are making the new alien game with creative asembly who make total war. That game looks amazing. Very dark, very slow paced (in a good way). The textures and lighting look really really good. I've seen it running on a PC. The PS4 devkit looks like a computer. It looks as good rif not better running as any super high end pc. We did not have those controllers, but they look like what was promised.

Assuming it's more about being on your own and surivving and not a high-level strategy game, CA is a bit of an odd choice.

Good luck.

Nirolak · Feb 16, 2013

Well, it's factual that they're making an Alien game and Sega noted that it may be for current and/or next-gen.

Sega also compared it to Dead Space 2.

TaroYamada · Feb 16, 2013

This has been known for a rather long time.

my bad.

fvng · Feb 16, 2013

First I would like an 8gb patch that changes colonial marines to the game they promised it would be.

No more Alien games for me

i-Lo · Feb 16, 2013

So Dead Space meets Demon's Souls meets Clive Barker's: Undying?

Glass Rebel · Feb 16, 2013

Their site has the Alien logo for one of their projects.

I updated the title a bit so it reflects what's new, since there is a bit new here.

They've been recruiting for a 'console team' for some years now.

XCOM style Aliens game with Real Time Tactics combat. Do it CA. I beg of you.

V_Ben · Feb 16, 2013

So, we might get a good Alien game from The Creative Assembly? Dead Space 2 with Aliens sounds like what i'd want.

It's a third person survival horror game.

I...Will take that

I didn't see your comment that folk compared it to DS2. Pardon.

Yeah, I thought "huh, is this going to be their Xcom or similar?", then saw the Dead Space 2 comparison. Well, Relic made Space Marine I guess, so it's just branching out some.

Why were his posts deleted? Confirmed fake?

A moderator posted that they verified it. I'm guessing they got an e-mail from a Sega lawyer.

Forsaken82 · Feb 16, 2013

I hope this guy enjoyed working for (im assuming?) Sega QA because by the end of the month he will likely be unemployed. It is usually pretty easy to trace stuff like this.

Unless reddit gives Sega that info, I don't think it's easy.

HanShotFirst · Feb 16, 2013

The fact that it isn't an rts style game worries me a bit but I didn't think that Creative Assembly's non rts games like Spartan and Viking were that bad. They were decent action games.

Haunted · Feb 16, 2013

That'll be a new one for Creative Assembly.

Viking and Spartan are third person action games, but with a much different focus than an Alien game would demand.

ironcreed · Feb 16, 2013

Interested for sure. Will just have to wait and see.

On the plus side, their game is bound to look better by comparison.

They'd probably be smart to release a demo though and show off a lot of the game because people might be a bit nervous about the franchise now.

RoboPlato · Feb 16, 2013

A Dead Space style Aliens game for next gen? Sign me the fuck up.

this is wat I expected from an Alien game.

doctorcdcs · Feb 16, 2013

As much as I like CA and the Total War franchise, I just hope this doesn't turn out like Stormrise. Yeah, I know different developer within CA, but still..

Corto · Feb 16, 2013

This. This I like. I remember reading something about a TPS from CA a while back. So this is it? Cool. Sega learned the hard way that when we want something good we have to make it ourselves.
