It's 4Chan, it could be full of shit.

Then again, plenty of things have come out of it that are right. So it could be true.

That said, there could be an inking of truth in there. A friend of mine who was made redundant at Sony London (who often complained about how PC it was there and very 'woke') applied at CA and was told by a few friends in the industry that the studio had changed a lot and gave off very PC tones.

I'm going to reserve judgement until we see something from the game in the next 18 months. But looking at this quote, if this is true, I can just see a bunch of toxic politically correct yes men figuring out how they can add as much diversity as possible.

The latest information about Alien Isolation 2 comes from an insider on 4Chan. He states that around 10% of Creative Assembly’s developers who worked on the original survival horror title are still part of the team.

Among the major developers, the Lead AI Programmer who pioneered the iconic double AI system has departed, too. The leaker further elaborates that nearly everyone from the original programming team has left the studio.

So basically they kept one developer per race and gender? Diversity is key!

The console/hyena team was annihilated, so this was a given.

The equal opportunity Alien will happily kill a diverse cast.

That aside I'm not really inclined to believe random "leaks".

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Isn't Quinn involved in this? I believe it.

Most mismanaged franchises of all time?

What do you think are some of the most poorly managed franchises of all time? Can be recent or not. Examples would be Socom, Banjo Kazooie, Halo as of late…etc.

If diversity is applied to aliens I'm in. Different aliens with different haunting ability that chase you around the spaceship.

 

[winjer]

So the humans used the wrong pronouns for the alien, and now the alien wants to cancel the humans.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

It's sad how hungry people are for shit that fits their narrative.

But also can be real. Based on Sonic Generation, from same publisher SEGA

Diversity is key theme in sequel.

I expect it to get the GAF nomination for best horror game. Sounds utterly terrifying. Even scarier than the original, which many thought wasn't possible.

 

[TastyPastry]

was hoping this was about gameplay diversity, i like the first game but i don't need to be stalked by one xeno for 15 hours again

No, she's involved as a lead writer for Alien Rogue Incursion, the vr title.

I'm just afraid I'll get targeted by the xeno because his other target pointed at me and said, "Don't be racist, kill him first!"

 

[Holammer]

Actually I'm so onboard with the idea, make the protagonist a man.
Having a female Ripley substitute in everything is getting old. When you have a male protagonist, you can use some of themes Giger wanted in Aliens 3 before they kicked him off the project (if you know, you know).

The original Alien introduced one the most iconic female characters in cinema. A character that was stronger, smarter, and more resourceful than all of her male counterparts. And Aliens revealed one of the major characters to be canonically trans.


If those movies came out today ya'll would be bitching about them being "woke", too.

None of that was forced or a box ticking excersize because someone in an office somewhere mandated it. I have 0 issues with either of these facts.

You wont be able to call it an alien I suspect.

Motion tracker has been improved to detect good credit ratings and white privilege. (Sarcasm of course.)

There is a huge difference between a woke character and Ripley.
Ripley is not the strongest, nor the best warrior. But she is the intelligent, smart and wise. She can kick ass, but she also has a strong maternal instinct.
The other characters, regardless of being male or female, are, for the most part, brave and competent.

If Aliens were made today, Ripley would be the strongest and would not learn or hear from anyone.
She would know better than anyone, and have the emotional depth of a puddle.
The only intelligent and brave characters would be LGBTQ+.
All male, white, straight characters would be portrayed as morons.

Do we prioritize the different Xenomorphs based on their host species?

Should be easy to debunk, who was the head of AI, we can check his LinkedIn and see if he still works there easy..

 

[RCX]

It wont be out for ages.

It'll take them a long while to figure out how to canonically race-swap Amanda Ripley.

Absolutely, some people would be screaming "woke" if those films were released nowadays.
The Alien franchise has always had a diverse cast. Female lead, whites, asians, blacks, latinos, straight, gays. So if this leak is accurate it might just be blown out of proportions.

Sometimes it's hard not to get the feeling that today Pvt Vasquez would get shit on as being a DEI girlboss hire.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Sometimes it's hard not to get the feeling that today Pvt Vasquez would get shit on as being a DEI girlboss hire.

I haven't heard anyone calling her that. She's a charismatic and heroic character, unlike the obnoxious DEI girlbosses of nowadays. The same applies to Ripley herself.

Bullshit. The difference between these characters and woke characters is their writing.

Ripley, like Sarah Connor, are strongly motivated by their mother instincts. You can't get any more anti-woke than that.

And not so long ago we have KILL BILL, with a full cast of diverse female badasses. Nobody would call that woke.

 

[Garibaldi]

So you're saying we could have a melancholic romantic drama about a gender neutral xenomorph and they/them's struggle to right the previous generations of xeno-genocide that occurred to their ancestors?

Sign me the fuck up!

That's the whole point of now she would be thought of that as opposed to just existing as a strong character.
