I grew up on the Aliens dark horse comics, Predator and AVP too. Thats why i liked Prey so much, it just had that dark horse comic feel. Nothing overt, expansive, just short and sweet.
Agreed. I hope they keep that tone going forward and I hope we can get a better AVP film
Dark Descent is good. Everyone, please buy it. It encourages future Alien games.
I was just going to ask that. Definitely going to make that purchase now.
Giger did various pieces of the Jockey with legs, dead in the rock formations. The hieroglyphics of the life cycle also seem to depict them as more mobile and not attached to anything.
I need to find them.
It looks like with the latest movie/show, Prometheus and Covenant may be retconned. Which means good riddance to the Engineer concept.
@@chriswhite3692 I don't mind the Engineers. They also go back to Giger's lifecycle heiroglyphs and concepts. They fit the world for me.
That’s not jockey. Giger never stated anything like that don’t talk from your ass.
@@chriswhite3692 Search up Alien: Unlocking the design of the Space Jockey and Alien : Space Jockeys with Sommelier Knife bodies ?
“It doesn’t have to conflict with the prequels”
Please do! PLEASE!
Dark Descent is a realy good game. Nails the Aliens vibe, tech and worldbuilding perfectly!!!
Personal opinion is that the space jockey is the "David" of the Engineers.
That is to say the Engineers did some engineering and created their own artificial intelligence robots
You mistake the master for the slave. Other way around.
@@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462 you mistake a circle for a chain
It's possible that the Space Jockeys weren't a singular species but a collection of species under one banner, and over the course of thousands of years kept modifying themselves -- sort of like how the Combine in Half Life reengineered themselves and other species (like the Synths, humans becoming Overwatch, et cetera).
The Engineers, the Mala'kak, the Planet 5 inhabitants, the Space Jockeys seen on the Derelict and City here...
It's also possible that it's a cycle; one species follows in the footsteps of another, going down the same route by reverse engineering the technology.
The Engineers? They followed the Space Jockeys, who themselves probably followed the Xeno City Inhabitants.
The Planet 5 Inhabitants were likely following the Engineers' footsteps, and we were a failed predecessor to them (which is why the Engineers wanted to destroy us after we proved a failure).
I like the idea of other species in the Alien universe
Nice to see you back. Especially with a new Alien vid!
The top down/3rd person view along with the turn-based RPG element seems to do more justice to the cannon lore/source material than say, a FPS or something akin to later fallout installments (which gives the option of either if I remember?) but the success/positive feedback from players and fans alike is the biggest triumph in my opinion due to seeing a lot of companies *cough-disney-cough* trying to push an agenda instead of just adding to the franchise while staying true to fans.
Flame thrower, sentry guns, and a funnel fire suppression and hold movement. Melts everything in the game.
That's awesome I felt like the game looked like a dark horse comic!
If those space-jockey-beings could move from their fused-positions, they would probably use an exo-body like Independence-Day-Aliens; a limber stout shiny wet Bio-Suit.
I'm not sure I agree with your statement that the beings under Oldavi were the game's "interpretation" of the space jockey from Alien. One, they're much much larger two, the head bears little resemblance and three, the giant "titan" xeno born from one has a massive slug like tail. It's only my opinion but the jockey didn't seem to have any kind of tail or be anywhere near the "citizens" massive size. The ancient citizens were more probably a different race of XTs, whose civilization ran concurrent to, or perhaps predates the Engineers.
I had always had the theory that the Space Jockey we see in the chair was an altered form. Genetically manipulated to fulfill a function, and thus not a full, or perfect representation of the Space Jockey species. Maybe every being in that society is altered to fulfill a function, so what would an unaltered one look like?
Just a scifi theory.
It might be that the Jockeys followed these aliens or vice versa, and the Engineers followed them, with the Planet 5 Inhabitants being the next in the cycle (and humans being a failed attempt before 5, so that's why we were slated for destruction).
Whether it's by being shepherded by a preceding species or they're just reverse engineering and following in footsteps is the question.
Bro, have you not done any videos on Scorn yet? Seems odd considering it's one of the most high quality and Giger inspired explorations of a biomechanical ecosystem
This is the movie I want to see.
I do believe that the egg silos were actually for an early version of Dune.
From what i understand, they were unused concepts for both films, but it appears that they got further in their design for alien.
Love this game so much
I still to this day have no idea how aliens can be cannon in the predator universe but predators aren’t cannon in the alien universe or why they are even separated like that in the first place. Like who decides this?
Because you also have the AVP games which are CLEARLY set in the alien universe.
Then apparently the rookie from AVP is in alien fire team elite so does that mean that is also not cannon to the alien universe?
I'm just fascinated to know what Giger's original inspiration for his biomechanical concept was. It seems deeply linked to sexuality and especially to horror elements of sexuality but true biological sex is obviously completely absent in his alien civilizations. I think it begs the question of whether or not the abandonment of nature for greater technological progress, power and knowledge is worth it in the long term .. and this question is also reflected by bio synthetic theories around the existence of 'the greys'. Giger's work has stood the test of time because of its mystery, philosophical depth and relevance to our own real lives.
Drugs and a threesome with trans girls, iirc.
I've always liked the idea that the xenomorphs were an unintended result of the genetic engineering of the space jocky race. Kind of like a great filter for advanced civilizations that reach the ability to control their genetics in the way the jockeys did.
'aliens' aren't real. demons however..
Transexual intercourse. It was literally inspired by being railed in the behind by a transexual
This is good. I like their depiction.
I'd like to belive the predators are still Canon and that the aliens were just a species not a bioweapon
Happy 4'24
The real space jokeys, the real engineers
The real proactive descent started with bio fluid Frink Zaza 34 .now that was a hum dinger of a ping bot but with a cream left toe knuckle strut in zeno fud splat I think
I love this way better than the engineers
What dou you mean by the city being able
to grow its own inhabitans? Is the city alive as well?
I think so, i some way, like a biomechanical plant.
They kind of look like elephants
They do. And should. In a creepy way.
Wait… Tantalus wasn’t above the xenocity. Only Olduvai was tied to the city.
It’s all connect to me until it’s not. And nothing they have made has made any movie completely Eliminated in my book, but that’s just me.
its origin is unimportant, what they were trying to achieve was they were trying to be immortal they were still cursed with death like we were. they did not have to move but used a drone like being to do so with the mind.
The prequels made the Alien story too complicated and contrived.
I hope Kathleen Kennedy gets to work her fan fic into this universe as well. Really adds a nice touch.
Update: I have reconsidered and think JJ himself should do it. He is so good with follow through and storytelling.
I wouldn't trust either one of those Muppets boiling water much less touching another IP. Kathleen is madness virulent Madness and everything she touches dies with her
Keep.
That.
FILTH.
From.
Touching.
ALIEN.
PERIOD
You're joking, right?
@vee-bee-a I hope so... Scott is already enough for this poor franchise.
@@alessandrobaggi6129 This franchise is in a coma, and if no one steps up to set it right, it will die. Alien: Isolation is proof, too bad there's no sequel.
One factor about all the Alien universe stuff is that Humans don't ever go "Let's use remote Drones to check this out."
"It's a Xenomorph attack, the Robot Armoured Tactical Systems will mow them down." - AI controlled mini tanks (nicknamed RATS) shoot all the Xenos with precision heavy fire.
Its TanTalus!!! Not Tanalus!!!!
i know, was just reading it too fast..
Soooky stuff..remember 90% biomech life forms are eternally attached to a structure walls.
I completely agree that the implied connection was very much to the Engineers, not the Predators, but you gotta knock it off with this "cannon" thing. For one, this is a sci-fi monster fiction franchise, not a religion, there is no "correct" interpretation, all of it is equally false. We do not live in the 23rd century, xenomorphs are not real, it's fiction, it's all made up. But more importantly there's absolutely nothing to suggest that Predators simply don't exist in really any of the Alien timelines and all the evidence in the world to suggest that they do. The films have never broken continuity, all 8 of them fit into the same timeline, there's no contradictions between any of them that say otherwise, and claim that they don't is simply your *personal* interpretation. You're allowed to view the media in any way you like as the audience, but you do not get to dictate the "correct" interpretation to others when it explicitly contradicts the primary media that the whole rest of the franchise is based on - the films. You're basically trying to tell me that the Joker doesn't exist in your Batman religion because you said so. Doesn't work that way, man.
I think that idea of the city itself creating xenomorphs is pretty compelling. At this point it's pretty much a done deal that the xenos are a product of the Jockeys/Engineers, and the only real question left is if the black goo or the xenos came first. As for these guys, it's pretty clear that the Jockeys/Engineers are were a vast space faring race and had many cities on many different star systems. We've seen living ones in only 2 movies yet we've seen 3 wildly different cultures. The sacrificial Engineers don't have ships that look anything like the false-biomechanoids of LV-223, and the ones on Planet 4 are barely even recognizable as related. But the base on LV-223 does make it clear the derelict is part of that same larger civilization, but it's truly biomechanical, the Engineers from LV-223 had purely mechanical ships, only their weapons where biological. It stands to reason then that the Xeno City, the derelict, the LV-223 base, the sacrificial Engineers, and the ones on Planet 4 are all descendants of the same original Jockey race. Some of them went full Giger, some of them went the complete opposite, and some are in between. The alien that came out of the original Space Jockey would look nothing like an alien coming out of an Engineer and of course both would be different from the titan alien, but they are still essentially the same species, after a fashion.
When you take into account the full weight of the fact that some groups of Engineers had such a mastery over biotech they could grow giant living things as part of their infrastructure, automating production of a weapon we already know they're responsible for making sounds trivially easy. The only link that isn't fully explicit is the one between the Xeno City and the Engineers of Prometheus and Covenant, but if you take what the first movie says about the original Pilot at face value, and accept some of the authorial intent, that gap closes pretty quickly. So, it's less of a fan theory, more of a pretty reasonable assumption.
...wait, they turned infectoids into Stroggs in this game? That's sick!
Or... Hear me out...
The Space Jockeys are the Annunaki,
and the Engineers are the Iggigi from Mesopotamian myth cycles. Look at the Mural in Prometheus. I've always seen its interpretation as the Engineers condemning and shunning something.
"WE DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE; *WE* ARE THE GODS NOW.)
The Iggigi revolted against the Annunaki.
I think out of all the fan interpretations, Project: ACHERON made the best interpretation with some lovecraftian-esque horror thrown in.
Go look up Alien: Awakening Animated.
All 6 parts provide a solid fan theory that solidly ties all of Covenant, Prometheus and the original lore of Alien together. if I was a billionaire, I'd give Project: ACHERON money and have him correct Scott's BS.
Who hurt you?
@@marble_orchard_spectre4363 What, me?
Thank god next coming Aliens movies are going to de-canon Prometheus and Covenant. Like scraping idea of a silly albino engineers... and going back to "cosmic horrors". Fingers crossing
The deadliest xeno is by far Ridley himself, thanks Ridley for the 2 garbage movies Prometheus and covenant
What is Madonna and Kathleen Kennedy doing in this game😂😂😂
dark descent is so bad. but you make the lore look good. well done
It's just some bullshit made up for a game.
Tell us the TRUTHHHHH!!!!
