We’ve known for a while that Creative Assembly have been engaged on a new-new “tactical” FPS, nearly actually not a sequel to Alien: Isolation, however they’re solely now beginning to brazenly discuss it – and present it, to a fortunate few. Neill Blomkamp, the director of movies together with Chappie (pictured above) and District 9, peeked not too long ago and dug it, saying the game has an “amazing core concept.” But it’s nonetheless an enormous thriller to the remainder of us. Creative Assembly’s first foray into first-person taking pictures was astonishing for a studio which has largely centered on strategic third-person clicking with Total War for nearly 20 years, so certain, I’ll wait.
“The FPS they are building is extremely cool,” Blomkamp tweeted yesterday, following a go to to Creative Assembly headquarters. “Amazing core concept. Had an awesome time.”
Don’t learn this example as Blomkamp being concerned with making the game. One perk of being a high-flying skilled is attending to barge into some other trade and demand folks present you their secrets and techniques. You wouldn’t imagine the recent scoops I’ve picked up on the Greggs R&D labs.
Given what we all know of Blomkamp’s pursuits from his movies and the way a lot he apparently loved seeing this game, we are able to moderately assume that what Creative Assembly name their “brand-new FPS [intellectual property]” is a couple of man who dies from an alien radiation illness then is resurrected as a robotic that’s half-criminal, half-cop. Sounds like Creative Assembly are spinning a whole lot of plates with all these concepts, however I’m cautiously optimistic.
Neill Blomkamp is an enormous fan of Alien himself, having tinkered with pitching a new Alien a couple of years again. But, once more, to be clear: all the things we’ve heard of Creative Assembly’s mysterious FPS says it isn’t set in some other fictional world.
The director has additionally beforehand mused about wanting to make a mech game, which might nonetheless totally jive with my prediction about Creative Assembly’s game. His firm, Oats Studios, sell short films on Steam too.
In quick, MYSTERIES. But rising marginally much less mysterious. And in all probability a couple of half-criminal, half-cop mech.
