IIapagokc has released a brand new gameplay trailer for a new fan Alien game, Alien: Hope for the Future. And, ironically, this unofficial fan Alien game feels way better and more faithful to the movies than the official games.
Alien: Hope for the future is an Immersive sim project with elements of survival-horror and tactics. This isn’t a commercial game, meaning that it will be distributed for free to everyone once it’s complete.
The story of the game takes place in “Hadly’s Hope” colony , before and during the xenomorph incident. Therefore, players will assume the role of one of the colonists. Players will have to survive by finding some supplies for them and other colonists. Players will also be able to avoid or fight xenomorphs.
What’s really interesting here is how faithful to the second Alien movie this game actually is. I mean, take a look at the trailer. While it’s not that polished – keep in mind that it is an indie game – it features most of the iconic scenes from Cameron’s movie. Hell, it even has the hologram “Earth/nature” room.
Not only that, but players will be able to seal doors like Vasquez did and control the Power Loader like Ripley did. The game will also feature the iconic Motion Tracker (you know, the one that the marines had in Aliens).
Seriously, for an indie attempt, this Alien game looks absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, Disney may shut down this project now that it got the media’s attention. On the other hand, there are rumours suggesting that Disney is about to sell FoxNext, so things may turn favourably for this indie studio.
But anyway, enjoy the following trailer and stay tuned for more!
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Not bad at all! Let’s hope it is not shut down!
I’m sure this article will absolutely and completely help in the effort to keep Disney/FoxNext lawyers from not shutting down the project.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
I’m a ful supporter of equal opportunity shootings, thank you very much. I shoot the messenger, the game developer, the commentators, and even myself just to make sure I’ve covered all the bases and angles.
Its probably gonna get shutdown.
They’re counting on it
most likely, you would have to have down syndrome to publicly announce a fan game that isn’t compete and available for download.
The trailer gave me Doom 3 vibes.
Why does it look like something that came out in 2009?
because they are not a large studio with millions of dollars baking them up. it’s pathetic to need to point that out.
And neither are the developers who make Project Borealis, or Black Mesa. Or any other indie developers in 2019. There are people who can do wonders in UE4.
Black Mesa is a commercial game, as for Project Borealis I don’t know who’s backing them up, but their team is pretty big, around 80 people.
Graphics do not a good game make. Stupid comments make idiots though.
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Gotta love the irony with your comment.
Do you ever ask the same question about 2d games with low res sprites? I would be all over a game with Metal Gear Solid 2 level of graphics, provided the quality was the same or better…
Nope. Mostly because i don’t play those kind of games.
Because creating art assets for a video game is difficult and laborious work. And, that includes optimizing those assets so the game doesn’t run like a slideshow on all but the most powerful and expensive hardware. In addition the people who have the most talent for that work usually do it for money.
I’m less concerned about some fan-made game, and far more concerned that Disney practically owns any property worth a piss anymore.
WTH is wrong with the US and it’s anti-trust system? Why not just let Disney merge with the Pentagon while you’re at it? Dumb f**ks.
“WTH is wrong with the US and it’s anti-trust system? Why not just let Disney merge with the Pentagon while you’re at it? Dumb f**ks.”
Spoiler: It already is.
spoiler: it’s not, but keep on with your dellusions.
Plausible deniability is a thing, and it is working in Disney and the Pentagon’s favor…
There’s NOTHING wrong or illegal about owning tons of IPs, that’s called capitalism, where anyone can make it big if they come up with a marketable idea. If you want all fake niceness, heavily government controlled businesses and to ruin human creativity (without over the top profit, they is little to no encouragement to take the financial risks involved in creating new/advanced products/services,) then you want socialism/communism where the pentagon and disney would be merged. So, before you call anyone else a dumb f**k, maybe you should stop being a dumb f**k first.
There’s nothing wrong with being a lobotomized re**rd on the internet such as yourself. Need i go on?
Imagine thinking that governments potentially busting up IP Monopoly’s is somehow related to communism/socialism(Going to guess he doesn’t understand IP Law at all) and having sensible IP Laws that don’t allow the transferring of countless IPs to a singular owner to the point of having a borderline monopoly on all modern IPs/culture.
What the hell is this person so obsessed with the Pentagon and Disney potentially merging, or already being merged? This is the strangest and most bizarre high function autism tier conspiracy theory I’ve ever read.
Somebody explain this to me, I’m not stupid enough to understand what is happening.
Hollywood as a weapon of cultural and political propaganda has been in Pentagon’s employ for over 70 years. If you fail to realize this then I have bad news for you regarding your last statement.
Disney is a corporation, Pentagon is overthrowing foreign governements left and right and Disney’s products play a huge role on the propaganda side of things.
Also here’s the definition of fascism (which is the next stage of capitalism) for you: “Fascism is an open terroristic dictatorship of the most reactionary, the most chauvinistic, imperialistic groups of financial capital. Fascism is the authority of that financial capital. Fascism in the foreign relations is chauvinism at its most egregious form cultivating animal hate to all other peoples”.
1) And now Hollywood is all about transparency and honesty, there are no government controlled businesses in the US and other capitalist countries. What rock are you living under?
2) So in your opinion the only worthy impetus for creating goods and services is financial gain? The betterment of mankind’s way of live is crap compared to profits, huh?
Capitalism is merely economic liberty. So, no fascism is not capitalism’s next step; it’s its antithesis.
Fascism is the next phase of capitalism. Notice how fascism and nazism only existed in capitalist states? This is not a coincidence. But you keep mindlessly bashing something you haven’t the slightest clue about.
The true antithesis of fascism is communism.
mindlessly bashing something you haven’t the slightest clue about
How irregular, John. (And ironic.) Are you really so historically and economically illiterate? Fascism, Nazism, and Communism are all close neighbors at the wrong end of the continuum from Liberty to tyranny.
Hitler slaughtered tens of millions in the last century. Do you know who butchered more? Stalin. Do you know who beat Stalin? Mao.
That’s right: Two Communists and a Socialist were the worst mass murderers of the last century — and probably all of human history, unless you include Muhammad and his proxies over the last one and one-half millennia.
Fascism, Socialism, Communism, and Marxism are all about government control of free people. Actual capitalism — not the deranged propaganda of the Left — is merely free people engaging with other free people.
Please, have some dignity.
You’re truly a lost cause and a byproduct of decades of propaganda spewing all the same sh*t you were months ago. Away with you, trollface.
spewing […] trollface
Eloquent and effective.
Coming from someone who thinks that Communism is a good thing — Genocide, it’s what’s for dinner! — that’s a compliment.
Thanks, Irregular!
Folks are under the impression that after you sell your studio you can never turn up another studio again.
If you want all fake niceness, heavily government controlled businesses
and to ruin human creativity (without over the top profit, they is little to no encouragement to take the financial risks involved in creating new/advanced products/services,) then you want socialism/communism
+1
Actually Disney was just approved to purchase the pentagon outright.
nah didnt like it.. :/
Looklike a game from 2007-2009 era..
yeah the game you made looks like a 2019 game, doesn’t it? oh wait, what’s that? you never made a game before? how odd, you would think someone who is that critical would have a better game to show us. Who would have guessed that you are just a bum who contributes nothing and complains about those that do. Big shocker over here, I’m at a loss for words, here I was expecting mr. perfect over here to have the perfect fan game made for us to play, but he ended up being a loudmouth that contributes nothing. My world is upside down from all that shock.
You already defend monopolies that will probably shut down this game, so maybe you should shut up as well.
So, if I never did an airplane I can’t criticize a shlt one? And even have to get inside one and fell for my death?
Your argument is not just wrong, it’s r3tarded!
This game is a huge pice of shlt!
So, i can’t talk sh*t about an ugly @ss game becase i never made one? Lol. Your logic is as r3tarded as your comments.
I usually criticize Valve for being lazy bastards, but in the case of fan games, they have the best method. They would be able to sell their fan game, and Valve could get a cut for basically doing nothing. Everyone gets happy.
omg why are people such morons. this screams C&D and they show it publicly??? they are either complete morons or they know they can’t finish the game for whatever reason and want a c&d so they don’t have to admit failure.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnd…. cease and desist
Yep should not have revealed it. Good idea while it lasted. Such a rookie mistake.
Pretty sure these guys have more to worry about than just a Cease And Desist. They have a Patreon page where they’re trying to gain donations from this project.
Haha they can’t even get the camera animation right. Even it was a retro throw back..
No Thank you.
never reveal fan projects before its finished and torrents up and running
we can say good bye to this
Nobody will ever learn this small fact, said it before on this site. Release the game in a country where they don’t have IP law and unleash it on the world. It will be downloaded, people will put it on torrents, etc.
Nothing can truly be done at that point, host servers in a country that doesn’t care either if the game is MP too.
Not to mention that every single website that writes articles bringing a telescope towards a project have directly destroyed many projects. Nobody in this cycle except the people who want to play these games seems to understand what the hell to do regarding this.
I imagine its due to one of two reasons why fans projects gets revealed earlier than it should; one is to get fame, the other is to get money. Some indie developers can be a bit conceited, and will release news when the project is in a state where it can garner praises the developer felt is due. Or the developer simply needs money to continue, but can’t ask for money without showing what it is used for (like a virtual kickstarter). A fan project might not be able to afford developing a whole game on the developer’s own finance, unlike what a game studio might be able to do (and even by that logic, studios still show what they are making at least to their publishers, when withholding from public). Its not out of the ordinary for indies, and even Mods to existing games, to start asking for money before a project’s completion. That’s just how games are likely going to be made in current times.
Fan projects rely on donations so they can keep running, that’s why it is so hard to keep it in the dark, unless it is an low effort 8bit-16bit game and even those attract trouble, like the Chrono Trigger unoficial sequel.
When it’s complete? I bet it’ll get a cease-and-desist very soon.
This looks genuinely interesting, and well made! Unfortunately, I see this getting the red flag from whoever owns the right to the Alien franchise!
License expired?
Wow. What ACM Should’ve been.
