To that end, the producers wisely assigned screenwriting and directing duties to Paul W.S. Let that soak in, and keep in mind that the best-case scenario for this project was that it be spectacularly stupid in a vigorously colorful way. Still, it took 15 years from that first comic book for 20th Century Fox to finally release the movie version Alien vs. The one thing conspicuously missing was a feature film based on the concept, not for want of trying. This triggered a goofy little cross-media franchise, with novels, video games, comic books, and a production design in-joke in the 1990 film Predator 2 all keeping the flame lit. Not the first time we've rewound the clock in this franchise, not even the first time Scott was responsible but I had something in mind a bit crasser than Prometheus.įor what reason, really, would it make sense that the aliens from Aliens and the predators from Predator would inhabit the same universe? For no reason at all, and yet that would hardly be enough to discourage goofball fans, which is why 1989 saw the release of Aliens versus Predator, a comic book published by Dark Horse Comics, in which aliens fight predators, on an alien planet. This week: Ridley Scott takes us to the prehistory of his 1979 masterpiece Alien with a certain Alien: Covenant. Every week this summer, we'll be taking an historical tour of the Hollywood blockbuster by examining an older film that is in some way a spiritual precursor to one of the weekend's wide releases. ![]()

The sequel adds new main, sub and special weapons, including dual-wield pistols called Dualies that allow the player to perform dodge rolls, shotgun-like weapons called Brellas that enable defensive maneuvers with folding shields, and jetpacks known as Inkjets. Inklings and Octolings can morph between humanoid, or kid form, where they switch from walking and shooting, into squid form where they can quickly swim through ink of their own color, and replenish their ink supply, as well as return to full health.

Players like me, who would drop anything to immerse themselves in any Souls-like, let alone one as haunting and beautiful as Ashen, were bound to rush to their computers and queue up a download through the Epic Games Store no matter what else was going on in the gaming world.īut what about the rest of the gaming world?

And if you don't use something to lock the fps, like rivatuner or your gpu settings,at 30/60, the game will freeze because it will try to create as many frames as possible, so be aware. To optmize the framerate, search on google for the framerate patch, before this patch i was getting most of the time 20 fps, after I am able to get above 30 fps, but i lock at 30 with rivatuner (because the radeon setting not working, idk why), so i can get a more stable experience.
