To get this forum started, I thought I'd point out some pictures that Obsidian's J.E. Sawyer
posted on the OE forums. They're from a tour through ADI, a visual effects studio involved with a few of the Alien movies.
Checking out these pictures makes me wonder if it even matters that they're basing the game on the Alien franchise. If they can pull of a solid sci-fi RPG with excellent production values, does it really matter if the game has a movie tie-in?
