LV426 - On Lemmy no one can hear you scream

I'll preface this by saying that I have unfourtunately never really interacted with any media in the Alien franchise. Horror movies aren't really my thing.

But, recently, I have been playing RMC (Rouny's Marine Corps). It's a game that builds on the same engine as Space Station 14, and it's a remake of CM-SS13 (which builds on Space Station 13). RMC is a round based, multiplayer role playing game, where a group of marines fight a Xenonid infestation on a planet.

Afaik, it's more or less based on the Alien franchise, so I was wondering:

• How many of you know about this? It's a fairly niche, open-source game, but then again Lemmy/PieFed is also quite niche.
• What do you think about it?
• Can I convince some of you to join in the fun? It's unlike any other game I've seen (except Space Station 14), and it's not an easy game to first get into (if you are interested, I seriously recommend watching some tutorials and possibly playing some Space Station 14 first).

(No Spoilers Here)

I watched it last night and my goodness. I tend to go into those kinds of movies trying to not hold any expectations, as that will ruin a movie quicker than you can say, "There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die." But... because this was the second Predator movie from director Dan Trachtenberg, I was expecting it to be at least pretty good all around.

Thankfully for me, I very much enjoyed it. Perhaps more than I was expecting to.

((I'll add more of my take of the movie and such if others are interested in having that discussion.)

But what did you think of the movie overall?

Please use the Spoiler text feature if you do share any further details that might ruin the movie for someone else. Thank you.

In space, no one can hear you scream how good this cyberdeck is!

Sorry, I was half asleep on my phone, I must have accidentally deleted the link before posting. Here's the bulk of the information.

In the works since at least 2020, the title sees players trying to survive being aboard a decaying space station. They have to evade a mix of xenomorphs and spec ops units with gameplay involving combat, platforming, stealth, resource management, and puzzles.

Currently, the title is being described as “Shadow of Tomb Raider with xenomorphs” in its current form. The project stalled for a while as it switched developers, but is now reportedly at Eidos Montreal – the developers behind “Shadow of the Tomb Raider,” “Deus Ex: Human Revolution,” “Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Thief,” and the upcoming “Fable”.

The $75 million budgeted game also reportedly boasts an AI enemy system designed to adapt and react to whatever tactics you use.

The main character is an engineer named Aubrey who can use grappling hooks and magnetic boots. There’s the villain Ryuzo, who uses the space station as his fortress. Finally, there’s Ripley 8 – Sigourney Weaver’s character from “Alien: Resurrection”.

Sadly, for us, it's still in early development, aiming for a 2028 release.
