    Indeed!!
    And tbh, THAT would be an awesome "Backround" as World to play in, IF well crafted.
    Wow, have to keep an Eye on that one for sure, even considering that my Hand-Eye Coordination isn't the best anymore in that Age. :D

    shows us what's wrong with the gameing industry nowadays, if the "mobile" announcement was the big news, and this one a minor side note :)

    i am curious, will it feature both sides playable? and will it be pvp, or more a pve game?

    hope it will be pvp. hunting as alien always was most fun in those games, if they have enough rights and skill.... they should actually make it with 3 factions, and we all know they should :>

    The nature of the MMO genre doesn't seem well-suited to horror, but I'd be delighted to be surprised.

    I heard there was a new Aliens game in the offing, but it was on mobile $4.99 with microtransactions, so a bit of a joke. :/
  • mcrippinsmcrippins Member RarePosts: 1,642
    Oh hell yes! Please let this be a good game.

    Guess they were listening to the audience at Blizzcon after the guy on stage asked if people didn't have phones.  :p

    I think that's exactly what happened :D Apparently when they announced Blackout as a mobile game, the community came unglued. Maybe by the time the announcement was sent out in PR form, they added the last bit to soothe the savage beasts. :D

    When I see FoxNext the first thing that comes to mind is p2w cause of MSF. Don't really care if it's p2w as long as it's fun but just wondering if it will be.

    I don't think i can imagine a more terrifying IP for VR.

    Could be PvE initially.

    The obvious PvP off-shoot would be Aliens vs. Predators. Which with humans could become 3-way.

    It's probably more Aliens and less of the first Alien but I agree.

     They should not waste there time .. Fortnite will kill it inside 3 months ...
  • ScotScot Member LegendaryPosts: 24,427
    Well it has a massive IP going for it, but will need to get the shooter right before it worries about the MMO elements. We won't get a faction game like PS as the setting does not support that unless they do Corp V Corp. As long as we don't get another Anthem style game they have a lot of room to manoeuvre the gameplay in.

    There's tons of creatures if you've read any of the books or played the AvP games. Blood-pigs.. Fire-walkers.. clones.. Kriltics.. Louse.. Zandoids

    Cold Iron Studios is a subdivision of FoxNet games (twentieth century fox film and fox networks group)

    FoxNet already has Alien:Isolation - which is another Alien franchise game - so this would be another one to add.

    Cold Iron studios is about 30 devs - they are hiring right now - have 7 positions open including world builders, gun artist, surface artist, audio designer as well as back-end devops and infrastructure engineer spots.

    Should be plenty of devs out there to choose from (granted not all of them would ever want to work for another game company again)


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Isolation

    I failed to find the information you gaive.



    Cold Iron Studios home page http://coldironstudios.com/ states that "COLD IRON™ and COLDIRON™ are trademarks of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. © 2018 FoxNext Acquisition Holdings, LLC"

    It has the job listing as well.

    Also FoxNext Games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FoxNext which lists Cold Iron Games as a division.

    And since Disney have bought 20th Century Fox I assume that this will come with the purchase hence .....
