This is a link post Interesting interview here if you are of the interested in interviews persuasion
Ian Svenonious (Nation of Ulysses, Weird War) interrogates Buzz Osbourne (Melvins, weird hair). That Buzz, he's a character, with some interesting opinions..

This is a normal post No
From your description I expected it to be an interesting interview, and having watched half of it I didn't think it was, or contained anything of interest. There's a wannabe Brian Ferry with a wayward quiff trying to appear knowledgable and witty, and the foil to his razor-sharp repartee is an Eddy Large lookalike, his only feature of interest being the monstrous shock of an elderly woman's pubic hair on his head. The latter has a half-hearted stab at school boy humour, with a hint of shock, but I thought it all fell very flat. In the end the most interesting thing was two larger-than-life hair styles. Overall I felt the word vapid summed it up pretty well, but if you enjoyed it then good for you.

In Alien you have a bunch of space truckers who are taken by surprise and get minced. Fine.

In Aliens you have a bunch of marines who are trained and equipped to go up against humans. They get taken by surprise and mostly get minced. Also fine.

At this point the folks back home more or less know what they are up against, yet they still send people in with armour made of tissue paper, no acid protection and pea shooters with insufficient ammo.

It's almost as silly as Starship Troopers.

I like the top comment on that though:
"Ripley, Hicks, and Newt did make it back to Earth. Alien 3 was a bad dream Ripley was having in the Sulaco. Alien Resurrection was a bad dream the audience was having in the theater."

I read about some of the theological themes he put in, on the Wikipedia page. I like finding out the hidden meanings in films. I've never seen it mentioned anywhere, but there is definitely a Chi-Rho on one of the doors in the complex.

This is a normal post I know they feel obliged to make an action game
but even Aliens' (which this game is seemingly roughly based on) main strength was not running around blasting anything that moved charging about in the open.

It was about the element of surprise and chaos. Team dropping like flies, Aliens coming out the walls, all the shit going down.

Other memorable set-piece equivalents could've easily been when hunkered down looking at the blue-prints with motion sensors etc.

Of course an action game could probably never capture the suspense and madness of Aliens, but this whole running around gunning Aliens down wily nily doesn't sit right with me. In about 45 clips in the trailer the player should've been gunged in acid and killed.

The only thing that'll save the game is if it's a *good* action game with precise, fair controls. Given previous efforts I'd be surprised if that's the case.

P.s. I thought the Alien Vs Predator game from the late 90's got the balance about spot-on in terms of human flimsiness.
