Title: Alien Breed looks excellent
Post by: MAKAVELIUK on January 13, 2003, 10:10:27 PM

Awesome Alien Breed ****ing rocked on the Amiga lets hope they can transfer the magic to the PS2.

15:48 Honour! From deep within the frigid depths of West Yorkshire come the shimmering might of the first ever shots of Alien Breed 2k4 on PS2. First appearing on Amiga in 1991 during the glory years of 16-bit gaming, top-down, arcade-action Alien Breed was an instant smash hit, amassing a zealous fan base and spawning several sequels.

But after Alien Breed 3D 2, in 1996, all went suspiciously quiet while Team 17 infested the world with Worms. But having Worms for eight years solid is enough to make anyone feel slightly uncomfortable, so Team 17 has chosen to broaden its horizons with a brand new Alien Breed title for PS2.

Currently carrying the working title of Alien Breed 2k4, guess when it\'s coming out! Go on! the title is already looking sumptuous, with excellent detail and lighting effects present in the first shots.

Team 17\'s Martyn Brown tells us: "The game itself is still pretty much in pre-production as we\'re still dealing with prospective publishers, but the game is a console action game with a light RPG/Stealth element, but certainly carries the feel, tension and atmosphere of our much revered original game which was released ten years back on the Amiga."

Awesome. And fans of the original will be thrilled to learn some of that team has stuck around to bring you 2k4. With the original designer and lead artist driving the
visuals, it\'s staying very true to the whole Alien Breed universe," says Brown. "We\'ve got some terrific technology lined up and simultaneous multiplayer, just like the original." Full power!

It\'s clear this is a project Team 17 has been itching to do for a number of years and is one we\'ll be keeping a very close eye on over the coming weeks and months. Feast your teary eyes on the first ever screens in the meantime.

Will it still have the Auto Destruct and Fire Doors tht made the Amiga game Fun and a Panic to play.

Eps when the person your playing with Shoots the Controls to a Fire door with you still on the wrong side.

That kind of Stunt used to start fights between me and my Brother. ;)

This sounds like a game I could really get into if it\'s done well. Let\'s hope.

The Amiga game was wicked. Dunno how this one will turn out but it definitely looks like the original, only 3D that is.

Yeah...
This is good news. originals was one of the best co-op shooters on amiga and ab3D was exelent doom clone.

Hopefully they won\'t make it too easy or reduce the amount of gore in living quarters...
