This is the kind of game I've been waiting for someone to make--a game that uses modern lighting engines and tactical ballistics to be *scary* without being a contrived horror game.
Ha ha. Yeah, well, you'll be very disappointed if you think this one not even functioning cutscene, with 2 store assets, no real animations, nothing, really, will be any good. Or even a game at all. It's just a guy making a map with a 3D engine that's too mainstream. Probably even less than the old maps I made of my own house and the like for fun when I was a kid using Half-life's set of tools of the SDK. or that one map I made with cryengine 2 like 15 years ago, just for me and the few people that also did the same type of thing on Crydev.
@jojolafrite90 right. This trailer shows us nothing. Like the slender man games. Awesome job with the atmosphere. I am hoping to see some compelling gameplay loop. So far it's just runing and hiding. So I guess if it were me making this I'd have to make that survival a complex system of food and health. Unless it's going for shorter rogue-like runs. As it stands you only have to survive until they die off so it seems short lived. Curious how that will not hinder from getting repetive. Look at Icarus, people hated having to start over from scratch each mission. I love the idea though. Can't wait to see where it goes.
@@Aatish2k8 the main enemy’s are cannibals, which are alive and haven’t been resurrected. at most, if googled, it says they might have been experimented on, but they aren’t and have never been dead
When I watched the film as a kid, I had a nightmare of it. And it was quite a real and detailed nightmare too. I remember "waking up" to strange echoy machinery outside my apartment, thinking there was late night construction going on. I walked out to my balcony and saw the most awesomly horrifying thing. We lived at the highest floor of the building, so I could see everything, the height almost rivaling the alien machines that I could see heading towards town. Again, it was night and there was heavy snow fall. The spotlights on the front of them illuminated the snow like how headlights on a car does, which wasn't a sight that was seen in the movie. So this detailed realistic moment was straight out of my head. The whole reason I'm bringing this up is because I almost forgot about that dream, but seeing this game brought my memory back. I would like to see different bioms in this game, like a snowy town section up in the mountains.
I'm 25 and I still have nightmares about this s***lightshow and then I heard it and it sounded like gunfire and lasers and s*** and then one of these tripods came down except it wasn't a tripod and had like five legs and it was massive it was such a cool f****** dream I wish something like that would happen
I saw the movie when I was 8 or 9 I think and had a very similar nightmare. To this day just the sound of those trumpet horns give me an uneasy feeling of dread. IDK how they managed it but they scared a generation of kids with this movie and I can't wait for the game!!!
when i watched this movie as a child, my parents probably thought I was young and wouldn't mind it, but the sound the machines made became a sound i'd hear a lot in nightmares. To this day it makes my heart race and my body tense, it's awesome
I don't get why people brags so much about graphics. A game to be a good game it doesn't need to be with the level of realistic graphics that looks like the game will come out of the screen computer or that you will get suck into the game. I like games with a more retro look, it feels cozy to me, but again, must be nostalgia talking, cuz i'm from the time when games weren't exactly 1080p to say the least. xD
This game is simply being the only one that I really wouldn't have the courage to play, it makes me afraid, terrified, it really moves with us, these sounds are incredible incredibly scary
Absolutely agree. War of the worlds was the only movie that actually ever really terrified me still to this day. I dunno what it is about that movie but 😱. I had nightmares for a while after watching the movie I would hiding in the basement like in the movie, I definitely don’t think I could play this game 😅
@@reallystraightguy2716 Some people are too afraid to play horror games my good man, I don't think we're doomed as a race just because a handful of people can't play scary games.
@Chrissy Lee same here! At least a few times a year i have this nightmare, they come down from the sky, around my house, and im trying to get away... the car? ... to much movement... run for the trees? I mean its on our front street, destroying the next door neighbors house... truly, Spielberg must have tapped into something deep, because its always the most terrifying dream, and i always remember it... must be what cats or mice think of us....
Indie developers are on fire right now. With what's been showcased so far in regards to this game, more funding and technical help, this could easily be a survival classic
this game actually terrifies me, it looks amazing! The size of those things are just incredible! I cant wait!.. You cant even run away from them because of how much more ground they can cover compared to you.. The best bet is to lay flat in a heavily bushy area or in a basement.
well for me running and hiding outside wouldn't terrify me in this game.... but when you mentioned the basement lol and the fact that the tripod probe can come in the house and search around, now that would terrify me if I was hiding in a basement in this game especially because basements are typically 1 way in and 1 way out. 😅😅😅 I can already feel the horror and suspense in that situation in this game.
Thus far, the games atmosphere is really chilling and certainly keeps your adrenaline pumping. The only criticism I will make is the humans could do with some work.
I feel like this game showcases how you *could* (not should) go running after the tripods like you're a storm chaser and its a tornado. Technically perfectly doable, but you also have to bet your life that you'll have time to find cover if it turns toward you.
I think a major feature of the game is... they WILL kill you. To make it work.... the problem with gamers is theres no stakes.... im thinking.... PAY... PER .... play, in VR as real as it could get, movie graphics, fortnight style, multi-player, ....and SURVIVE. Probably what every movie will be in time.
@zeph0shade my experience in most multi-player games is most players will ruin the 'reality' of most games, because they're no stakes involved... its like video poker where they bet all in and it ruins the dynamic of betting anything thats worth something..... like running toward the alien ship that is going to kill you... a multi-player game like this, ...i can only imagine swaths of people teabagging the leg of the alien ship
I think an overgrowth mechanic like in Project Zomboid when you can see the "alien blood vegetation" take over the streets and houses as days go by would be both really immersive and creepy.
This does look fun, will definitely have a try. It might be good to see a game or film remake one day that sticks faithfully to the original book. One of the things that makes it so compelling is the depiction of late 19th century humans fighting advanced martian war machines with what amounts to bayonets and horse-drawn artillery. Every representation of WotW I've ever seen has been set way after this or in modern times. I think it loses something special when they do that.
I am rooting for these guys. This looks very promising if done right. Imagine being the Alien in pod and hunting down everyone in server one by one while trying to avoid being taken down by other players. This can require some good teamwork and planning for humans to win.
That would be amazing!!!! ... at the speed AI is progressing, i think we will be staring in our own movies not very far in the future... or maybe..... We. Are. Already. There...
god damn it's so fuckin intimidating when the flood lights from the tripods scan over the area, and almost see you... i am SO looking forward to playing this, hoping for some co-op, because i know a few people that would love to join me on this experience
A few questions: How long is the invasion in the game? (15 days according to novel) Do the Tripods fall on their own or do the ships’ biological components get infected to and lose shielding (up to players to destroy tripods)? Are the shields canonically activated at the same time as weapons are when they first emerge? These are relevant to gameplay
Looks Amazing, looking forward for the next updates! A quick suggestion, based on this trailer's content: - In the first death, maybe because it's day, the death animation looks weird, maybe a strong motion blur when the player is falling and a fade to black right after touching the ground, would be a cool visual effect.
Nice update. I really hope there will be some kind of story elements that make you have some kind of progress / challenge, because i'm scared that the game just consists of you running around and surviving the tripods. Edit : And the sound spatialisation seems inverted, it's pretty obvious at 20:34, as we hear the radio comms from the right but the radio is to the left inside the garage. Could be misleading to the player
One of Spielberg's best films in the 2nd half of his career. It's underrated, IMO. Both a commentary on 9/11(and dealing with tragedy) and just a damn scary sci-fi flick. This looks cool.
One thing I and I'm sure others are waiting to see is the inclusion of weapons in this game that actually have the potential of destroying or at least damaging the tripods. Is that something which will eventually be included?
Very nice work, but I would really love to see the black smoke and terraforming from the book. This is very clearly based on the Tom Cruise movie which I really liked but makes for a far less complex story. It was never supposed to be just tripods running around zapping people. The whole point was not just that they wanted our planet, but they wanted our planet to be THEIR planet.
Umm, so do we ever get to actually fight these alien machines, or do we just stand back and watch them burn the world down? And will we ever find out what happened to Burger Knight? Stay tuned to find out... I guess. 😒
There's not really much you can so against them. In the book, and the film, they were killed off by disease. Their immune systems weren't equipped for earth's bacteria and viruses and so it killed them
Okay, as an avid fan of War of the world's, this is absolutely AMAZING. As I was watching the video(being as infatuated with the tripods as I am) was hoping that in the mentioned multiplayer that there was the possibility to control the tripods and use them to exterminate the human teams. I can't express just how exciting this is to see.
A "career" mode with a story to tell, cutscenes, scenes and scary moments would be so cool. The survival game itself will be boring I think, a well told and staged story would be so good 🤩
Honestly could be such an intense and terrifying experience, but I think it will just end up taking away from that initial feeling we all got as kids watching it.
i know little of this project but i feel a race against time element could be good for the over arching game. the longer the invasion goes on the less you have to work with, more is destroyed, fewer people, more pods activated, ratcheting tension as time progresses. just, throwing dumb ideas out there. this looks like it has fantastic potential, the atmosphere set up feels great.
Idea: top to bottom remake of the game to be set in great Britain in the 1890s. Survival horror emphasis, makes the player feel powerless and hopeless. Goal is to evade and survive invasion. Adheres to original novel closely. More machines like flying, the harvesting machine, etc.
This game is awesome. Imagine an open world game where you have to survive and tripods randomly just can spawn near you and u have to survive them as well.
Wow 5:44 There’s even the indication that more aliens are being transported underground into buried tripods, due to the lightening striking the same area repeatedly. Gives a dreadful feeling.
Awesome job with the atmosphere. I am hoping to see some compelling gameplay loop. So far it's just runing and hiding. So I guess if it were me making this I'd have to make that survival a complex system of food and health. Unless it's going for shorter rogue-like runs. As it stands you only have to survive until they die off so it seems short lived. Curious how that will not hinder from getting repetive. Look at Icarus, people hated having to start over from scratch each mission. I love the idea though. Can't wait to see where it goes.
I don't want 'my' speech determined by the game, that makes no sense to me and would break immersion. At worst, maybe multiple-choice, I suppose, but best of all would be my saying nothing, and no lame storyline either. Just get out there and survive.
You can tell this was made by one guy with no budget. I like the franchise and think it has potential to make a decent game but he's gonna need a lot more help and a lot more time if this is all he can manage on his own
amazing i can imagine hundreds of people running through the city screaming for their lives and the atmosphere will turn into a gloomy and destroyed city and the idea of this monster carrying you into cages like in the movie or their limb chasing you through the dungeons.... it gives me chills when I imagine that I would experience something like in a movie... the sound of these monsters is amazing, it scares me, but at the same time I would listen to it all the time... I hope that this game will go far and that it will fit into the situation and the street as much as possible they will really be full of people and a terrible atmosphere that will engulf us ...
I won't even talk about the humans and the dialogue scenes, but something that needs fixing is the overall smoke/dust/etc. The fires need to produce much thicker and more persistent smoke plumes and clouds, and a lot more dust needs to be kicked up in general from the tripods actions.
Tripod emerges from the ground ,scattering debris everywhere and deafens people with its foghorn. Random citizen looking at you instead: "Hello Neighbour"
can you add m16, that would make a bit of sense cause the us army doesn't use russian and french arsenal as far as i know. plus it's one of my most favorite weapons.
I am a fan of the book, That is now Public domain. This game is loosely based off that story, in the 2005 movie of the same name is (in myoppinion) not a true war of the worlds telling, that being said, i did like it, mainly for the tripods. Now, the tripods used in the movie are a PRIVATELY IP, so Raf does need permition to use the exact same thing, also, the sound effects used and the music are also private IP. Now Raf has said that he did approach Paramount but 'Heard nothing back'. I find that difficult to believe, I for one want this game to come to full release. The devs have changed the Tripod design and recreated the sound effect of the horns, HOWEVER, you must change a certain amount of said property to make it legally allowed to be used. Personally i don't think Raf has done this. The tripods still look too much like thee movie, but i am no legal expert, I believ he is treading on VERY thin ice with these designs, regardless of how awesome they are.
It would be cool see not only lasers, but explosive lasers! Really have so much things to put inside the game that would be awesome, nice project! I hope we all can play it some day.
My biggest criticism about this is using air raid sirens for a ground attack. Yeah, each storm siren has at least two modes. Tornado warning which is also the air raid warning. Then the flood warning which is also the ground attack warning.
I Really hope they make it multiplayer. Get a crew of friends and try to survive the alien apocolypse. I hope they make the tripods very sound sensitive like in the books, so you have to be quiet around them unless you want to be their vape smoke.
You see I don't get how they need birds to kill a tripod. 4 ways to kill a tripod. 1. AT Landmines. Their shields most likely don't protect the bottom of their feet. 2. Dig deep and big trenches and cover them. Lure them to the hole. When they fall the force of the fall will most likely cause them to die. 3. Destroy one tripod and take the weaponry and try to use it. 4. Poison gas. Their filters are to filter oxygen out of the air they breath. Most likely their filters won't filter any other gas. If there are more reply with them. If these are wrong reply and tell me why they would be.
I kinda want the sequel to be like HL2, where humanity was spared but put under the rule of Martians, but the soldiers are the Martian Forces, and the citadel is literally just a huge, massive, tall factory containing the man who negotiated with the Martians.
I concur. War of the Worlds set in UK 1938 would be a better game or more interesting movie than set in 21st century USA. Fight the tripods with Interwar weapons (Lee-Enfield rifles, Bren guns, 18 pounder artillery, Mills grenades, Vickers tank, biplane or MK 1 Spitfire fighter). No assault rifles, no anti-tank missiles, no jet fighters. Just ride on 1930s vehicles and aircraft (maybe add an "experimental" XF4U-1 Corsair).
look, i'm a horror fan, i appreciate its value, the sensations and physical/mental reactions it evokes as a form of entertainment, blablabla.. but.. with this demo i was sometimes left with tension, stomach in knots, etc. in other words, achieves what it sets out to do and for potentially more than a cult following from 2005 and prior.. and with this reaction, that does not happen to me when i am not playing a game, just watching gameplay. so where can i invest money in this project? because i think it is onto something. ps, is there gameplay where you get trapped in a cage like in the 05 film? or is that not known yet? i love how even in a setup right now where the alien animations are hyper-realistic but the environmental structures and human sprites are not, this still manages to be chilling and frightening.

sounds like generation zero to me
Yes and if especially if you can also play as harvesters hunting the players.
yes steam says its co-op :)
what if pvvp exists for survival
Hope there will be a co-op that would be insane
I hope it will be full multiplayer. We could gather an army.
I heard somewhere that there may be a pvp mode where a group of players try to survive against one player playing as a tripod.
Like DayZ style where enemy NPC's aren't the only threat, and you don't know who you can trust because they might want your loot.
It will have multiplayer
It will have 2 game modes. One where two teams play as humans and machines. The other is everyone trying to survive in the open world.
I'm really looking forward to this game. The feeling is really good.
Needs a lot of work...maybe some putrid-rich company will help the devs to remade it in UE5...then we'll shit our pants.

Okay, as an avid fan of War of the world's, this is absolutely AMAZING. As I was watching the video(being as infatuated with the tripods as I am) was hoping that in the mentioned multiplayer that there was the possibility to control the tripods and use them to exterminate the human teams. I can't express just how exciting this is to see.
I would have loved to see a modern version of the thunderchild.
A "career" mode with a story to tell, cutscenes, scenes and scary moments would be so cool. The survival game itself will be boring I think, a well told and staged story would be so good 🤩
This as a vr game would be top tier stuff
Honestly could be such an intense and terrifying experience, but I think it will just end up taking away from that initial feeling we all got as kids watching it.
Please don't make this game. The textures are absolutely atrocious already
@@Jideaohn No they're not, everything is done well, don't like it, don't play it.
@@Jideaohn bro did what do you mean I haven't seen good graphics except for cod this one is amazing! Also did you even watch the movie?
@@Jideaohn L
i know little of this project but i feel a race against time element could be good for the over arching game. the longer the invasion goes on the less you have to work with, more is destroyed, fewer people, more pods activated, ratcheting tension as time progresses. just, throwing dumb ideas out there.
this looks like it has fantastic potential, the atmosphere set up feels great.
The way you win this game is by coughing on the tripods.
Idea: top to bottom remake of the game to be set in great Britain in the 1890s. Survival horror emphasis, makes the player feel powerless and hopeless. Goal is to evade and survive invasion. Adheres to original novel closely. More machines like flying, the harvesting machine, etc.
こんな巨大な敵に兵士として立ち向かうゲームが好き。
This game is awesome. Imagine an open world game where you have to survive and tripods randomly just can spawn near you and u have to survive them as well.
This game looks awesome! I will imidiately buy it when it comes out as multiplayer/coop.
I cant be to emotionally invested in a character whos mouth doesn’t move when they talk
Wow 5:44 There’s even the indication that more aliens are being transported underground into buried tripods, due to the lightening striking the same area repeatedly. Gives a dreadful feeling.
Awesome job with the atmosphere. I am hoping to see some compelling gameplay loop. So far it's just runing and hiding. So I guess if it were me making this I'd have to make that survival a complex system of food and health. Unless it's going for shorter rogue-like runs. As it stands you only have to survive until they die off so it seems short lived. Curious how that will not hinder from getting repetive. Look at Icarus, people hated having to start over from scratch each mission. I love the idea though. Can't wait to see where it goes.
Having that tripod follow you at night is fucking terrifying lol
Once i have a nightmerish dream where i was running from one of those ... now i could make it happend again
At 21:45 I thought it was gonna kick into some sort of music video for a second, lol.
Band Name: _Wild G and the Tripods_
WTF ! This looks insanely good ! Well done
7:51-9:30 DUDE IT'S EXACTLY LIKE THE MOVIE!! THE CHURCH AND THE HORN, THE WIND UP, EVERYTHING!! I'M FREAKING OUT RN!
Question will this game come out on ps5 and other gaming consoles?
Just a PC game
@Nathan Jarrett so it will come on steam deck right 😊
@@playstationaccount4473 doubt it?
@fellthekiller gaming Its actually on steam as coming soon I have it on my wishlist so that does mean it will be on the steam platform.
Hope they add character expressions on their faces, would help the immersion. Game is coming around nicely, where can I download the demo?
If you give the main character voice lines i think it would be better. Would make the game seem more alive.
Hearing the equivalent of Ray's "SHIT!" would be a vast improvement for sure! ;)
I don't want 'my' speech determined by the game, that makes no sense to me and would break immersion. At worst, maybe multiple-choice, I suppose, but best of all would be my saying nothing, and no lame storyline either. Just get out there and survive.
@@alphatucana i only mean the lines you say to the AI. Nothing else.
@@bucketman7984 OK.
Imagine a gamemode where you are the *TRIPODS* . That would be sick
You can tell this was made by one guy with no budget. I like the franchise and think it has potential to make a decent game but he's gonna need a lot more help and a lot more time if this is all he can manage on his own
amazing i can imagine hundreds of people running through the city screaming for their lives and the atmosphere will turn into a gloomy and destroyed city and the idea of this monster carrying you into cages like in the movie or their limb chasing you through the dungeons.... it gives me chills when I imagine that I would experience something like in a movie... the sound of these monsters is amazing, it scares me, but at the same time I would listen to it all the time... I hope that this game will go far and that it will fit into the situation and the street as much as possible they will really be full of people and a terrible atmosphere that will engulf us ...
Too be true to the film it needs a non stop loop of that girl screaming.
I won't even talk about the humans and the dialogue scenes, but something that needs fixing is the overall smoke/dust/etc. The fires need to produce much thicker and more persistent smoke plumes and clouds, and a lot more dust needs to be kicked up in general from the tripods actions.
A parte de ser assustador, com certeza tá fazendo certo. Eu gostei pra caramba.
Cool and all, but where are the cavalry guns? I am pretty sure the first tripod kill was by mounted artillery.
Game looks pretty cool... I could only imagine what they could do with this game... I like it. 😸
Tripod emerges from the ground ,scattering debris everywhere and deafens people with its foghorn.
Random citizen looking at you instead: "Hello Neighbour"
can you add m16, that would make a bit of sense cause the us army doesn't use russian and french arsenal as far as i know. plus it's one of my most favorite weapons.
This isn't the owners channel, they do have a discord where you can suggest it.
He got the weapons from a civilian household. The fact that the US ARMY don't use them is irrelevant.
I am a fan of the book, That is now Public domain. This game is loosely based off that story, in the 2005 movie of the same name is (in myoppinion) not a true war of the worlds telling, that being said, i did like it, mainly for the tripods. Now, the tripods used in the movie are a PRIVATELY IP, so Raf does need permition to use the exact same thing, also, the sound effects used and the music are also private IP. Now Raf has said that he did approach Paramount but 'Heard nothing back'. I find that difficult to believe, I for one want this game to come to full release. The devs have changed the Tripod design and recreated the sound effect of the horns, HOWEVER, you must change a certain amount of said property to make it legally allowed to be used. Personally i don't think Raf has done this. The tripods still look too much like thee movie, but i am no legal expert, I believ he is treading on VERY thin ice with these designs, regardless of how awesome they are.
super excited for this ...
Hi
Whats the PC System Requirements to reach the Frame Rates which are shown in the top left?
If this was a real thing I’d honestly just just stick to the buildings considering how dumb they are to not think about humans hiding in them lol
did you not watch the movie the do search trough the buildings whit the machine and whitout
@@thogusdonatus4607 ohhh yeah I forgot about that part….
If I was the aliens I wouldn’t even waste time searching I’d just blast the thing wit the ray gun and be done with it. Think smarter lol.
will there be npc military engagements with the martian invaders?
Только количество триногов хотябы в 2 раза надо увеличить, а то нет таких бурашек когда гдето шарится в 5 километрах от тебя 1 триног
It would be cool see not only lasers, but explosive lasers! Really have so much things to put inside the game that would be awesome, nice project! I hope we all can play it some day.
Very atmospheric game
My biggest criticism about this is using air raid sirens for a ground attack. Yeah, each storm siren has at least two modes. Tornado warning which is also the air raid warning. Then the flood warning which is also the ground attack warning.
This game looks great
Hidden people gangsta until the alien crew actually comes out of their tripods.
I hope we see the military doing futile bombing runs!
In the early stages of development they showed military fighting the things, but I haven’t heard about it recently.

I Really hope they make it multiplayer. Get a crew of friends and try to survive the alien apocolypse. I hope they make the tripods very sound sensitive like in the books, so you have to be quiet around them unless you want to be their vape smoke.
Multiplayer will be added.
i can't see anything🧐
even just hearing the distant rumble and that iconic sound of the pods moving is unsettling looking Forword to this
looks wayy too early in development to be shown off right now
Lol you should go watch the first few videos on our channel. We’ve been showing the game since day 1
@@waroftheworldsgame9026 exited I am :)
I think it all looks pretty good for a demo except the buildings an lack of people.
The sounds are awesome... "..the fighting machine released a woosh of spray and roared like thunder..."
That is terrible voice acting.
It's a demo
You see I don't get how they need birds to kill a tripod. 4 ways to kill a tripod.
1. AT Landmines. Their shields most likely don't protect the bottom of their feet.
2. Dig deep and big trenches and cover them. Lure them to the hole. When they fall the force of the fall will most likely cause them to die.
3. Destroy one tripod and take the weaponry and try to use it.
4. Poison gas. Their filters are to filter oxygen out of the air they breath. Most likely their filters won't filter any other gas. If there are more reply with them. If these are wrong reply and tell me why they would be.
I’ve been waiting for a giant monster survival game for ages. Like one where you aren’t special. You are just “guy” and objective is “survive”
1:57 glad to see Lex Friedman survived.
the nightime Terraforming extermination scenes
are terrifying with the background sound FX.
Well done!
I kinda want the sequel to be like HL2, where humanity was spared but put under the rule of Martians, but the soldiers are the Martian Forces, and the citadel is literally just a huge, massive, tall factory containing the man who negotiated with the Martians.
This looks amazing. Will it only be on PC or are consoles able to play?🎉
It really annoys me no end, when films, and Games don't hold true to H.G. Wells description of the Martian Walkers, and how they used the Heat-rays.
I concur. War of the Worlds set in UK 1938 would be a better game or more interesting movie than set in 21st century USA. Fight the tripods with Interwar weapons (Lee-Enfield rifles, Bren guns, 18 pounder artillery, Mills grenades, Vickers tank, biplane or MK 1 Spitfire fighter). No assault rifles, no anti-tank missiles, no jet fighters. Just ride on 1930s vehicles and aircraft (maybe add an "experimental" XF4U-1 Corsair).
The night mode and fog mode gave me anxiety. And seeing that thing pointed in the direction of the player out in the open.. huge potential here.
look, i'm a horror fan, i appreciate its value, the sensations and physical/mental reactions it evokes as a form of entertainment, blablabla.. but.. with this demo i was sometimes left with tension, stomach in knots, etc. in other words, achieves what it sets out to do and for potentially more than a cult following from 2005 and prior.. and with this reaction, that does not happen to me when i am not playing a game, just watching gameplay. so where can i invest money in this project? because i think it is onto something. ps, is there gameplay where you get trapped in a cage like in the 05 film? or is that not known yet?
i love how even in a setup right now where the alien animations are hyper-realistic but the environmental structures and human sprites are not, this still manages to be chilling and frightening.
I remember this when I was really young. And I never knew what the name of the movie or game was until now. Those brings back memories. Thank you
