Title: New Alien Breed game (Wot? No Brimble?)
Post by: buzz on October 15, 2008, 02:50:09 AM: Team17 has confirmed that an Alien Breed remake will release next year. We have heard rumours that Team17 may not be using Allister Brimble for the audio.

It would be crime not to have Allister Brimble as the musician, who as the composer of the original Alien Breed game, is responsible the incredible atmosphere of the earlier title which led to much of its appeal. If you think this is wrong, please email Team17 and help their new title get the quality it deserves. http://www.team17.com/contact.html

Post by: weirdami on October 15, 2008, 03:54:55 AM: Is this really a crisis?

Post by: Vairn on October 15, 2008, 04:03:32 AM: I agree, the game wont be anything like alien breed anyway, it will just be another lame fps... :roll:

So even in the extreemely small case of Alister doing the music it wont make a difference...

Post by: buzz on October 15, 2008, 10:41:00 AM: Perhaps someone wanted to see if making "crisis" could change anything (there might be more to this story perhaps. i wonder ;-) )

No doubt the new game will suck yes, but since they are using the original name (to market it), they should definitely think about using some of the original guys perhaps.

At least it isn't another version of worms .. please no more worms.

IIRC it is NOT going to be an FPS.

PC already has an Alien Breed Remake : Alien Breed Obliteration, full level editor included !

jesterpunk, the programmer once stated that he will release the code, but he has not been online for a while. If anyone can track him down, we could have our own ALIEN Breed :)

Which makes sense, considering it was Bjørn Lynne who wrote the music for Alien Breed 3D, not Allister Brimble...

THis would be a massive project, as it uses direct x, unless someone has ported direct x to the amiga and not told anyone :-)

Post by: alexh on October 19, 2008, 11:13:24 PM: I sent them a positive mail requesting brimble-sonix so lets see if it makes any difference.

I also asked for Rico Holmes gfx and Tobias Richter renders too

(No I didn't :-))

Post by: VEGNAcore on October 24, 2008, 01:44:57 PM: Slap it on disk, get a cool box for it, call it alien breed 3, and sell it in HMV for the A500. :lol:
