I seem to remember that Team17 tried doing an Alien Breed for the PS2 a few years ago, but couldn't get a publisher to back it through development. (Alien? Breed? No, no, make more dire worms sequels)
I have a hazy memory of a screenshot that showed a kind of isometric perspective, with a dark, gritty ship/space-station and a massive alien blocking a doorway while the player was blasting it. It looked like it would play like the original rather than being YAFPS.
Here's hoping that the new one is based on this version.
