Full Version: SLO: Alien Syndrome
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.

The title unfolds thousands of years into the future as humankind is regularly finding and terraforming distant planets so that they may become inhabitable. Somewhere out in the darkness, the Seti-Alpha 5 Terraforming Station has gone quiet. Despite repeated attempts to communicate with the facility, Earth Command receives no response. And that's where the seasoned Harding comes in. Only after the soldier arrives on site does she discover that the age-old Alien Syndrome is behind the mystery, and she takes it upon herself to rid the galaxy of the enemy once and for all. It's basic sci-fi exposition, to be sure, but there's history here and SEGA has stuck with it.

Mmm...Rocket Launcher...


The Wii version will feature control schemes specifically tailored to the unique controller of the platform that will show off the dual combat system of range and melee weapons of the game. A number of graphics enhancements and additional animations will also be made for the Wii version. It will also include additional gameplay content not available in the PSP version that will allow players to advance their character as well as to upgrade and craft new items.
The C-stick controls movement, and players will use an on-screen targeting reticule to aim and shoot at enemies. The A and B buttons attack with a selected weapon, and down on the D-pad switches between two weapons in Aileen's arsenal.

Nothin' says Lovin' like a Laser in the Face


Alien Syndrome offers up to four players the opportunity to tackle the full single-player game cooperatively. On the PSP, the game supports local Wi-Fi play, while on the Wii, it will support four players simultaneous on one console.


What would shooters be without weapons?



Players will also be able to assign Aileen to different character classes. As a Firebug, she'll be able to utilize both melee and flamethrower weapons. Sharpshooter class will put her on the fast track for firearms. Tank class will make her more rugged, but more encumbered. According to the developers, these are only the beginning of a rich variety of customizable choices players will be presented with. They'll also be able to upgrade storage capacity, weaponry, and special powers like environmental hazard immunities (for example, to radiation).

Nice SLO again Rooster. This is one Wii game that has my attention. I'm hoping it'll turn out great.
I've been watching this game too. Looks pretty cool to me!
Yep, looks like we might have a winner here!

Nice SLO Rooster!

But one thing i must say....

It looks kinda... Tacky when the site has to resize the photo. Its quite easy to go to PhotoBucket and resize it yourself there! But otherwise, great job dude!

Now i have to work even harder to make a better one.... Uhhhh
i wondered about that. didn't d4rk give you the image size limitations?
You know you can always resize the image here just put [img=100x100]url[/img]
I'm going to resize the images later. School's getting hectic and finals are coming up...
tried doing it your way W_R and it only comes out looking right some of the time, but then i refresh it and it's resized again. i dunno. guess i could always photoshop em to fit and host from photobucket
Looks interesting, although with RE4, Smash Bros, Galaxy, Metroid and Bwii coming out this year, who has time for this?

Not to get off topic, but didn't I read somewhere that Sadness was not happening?

Nevermind, I guess I did just get off topic. If I find something, I'll start a thread.

No as far as I know it is happening. They just changed developer or publisher. Its one or the other Toungue

And I think Alien Syndrome is looking sweet! 4 player co-op FTW!

In D4rk's example it was 50x50 if you want to try that. It may be too small though.
