raziel1981 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thought that you guys might appreciate this one http://www.gollopgames.com/2013/04/original-x-com-concept-art.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 thanks Razziel. I saw that from his presentation and pinched it from a related article. Obviously, I was muttering "my preciousssss" as I totally neglected to share it oh, don't think I had the third page.....oooooohhhhh Just think of the way the game might have played with some different aliens. It would seem that the secotid storyline was pretty much in place, and the other aliens were fillers. Gollop said that the Chryssalid/ Zombie connection was due to them standing next to each other in the concept art. Cyborgs and alien face huggers and alien cheetah women!

a333 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 oh man, oh man, so much feelings.. Well, cutting off is the essential part of any project, so i don't think X-Com will be much better with all these...but...well.. dual wielding dr. Zoidberg is ok, i guess?

thothkins Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 not to mention the giant killer Rabbits Much like Xenonauts, a scout of the Killer Bunny invasion arrived some time before the main force arrived. Let's see how it got on... [video=youtube;XcxKIJTb3Hg] (no, it's not a cookery programme ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sathra Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Damn kids, eating my lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 is that kids as in goat kinds eating your lawn or have your local kids not quite gras(s)ped what grass is in a certain context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Both. They've marked grazing areas with their waste and are consuming my lawn to bare earth. I think I'll release tigers as the obvious solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashMan Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I see.... the Predator Robocop naked woman Umber Hulk Terminator Lobo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Was there a naked woman in the concept art or was just some stray browsing... oh that one. I thought it was more Thundercats than starkers. Maybe that's why thundercats was popular though... - Aliens - Alien Egg - Yep, I thought Lobo too - Golem - Mars Attack cards - Doctor Who five doctors thingy of Rasilon - Monty Python bunny - silicon rock thingy from star trek Edited May 6, 2013 by thothkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 And the rock thing made it into the final game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 big trek fans there's probably lost concept art with tribbles in it. Much more threatening than the Silacoid was. Although in, my mind a base attack with Silacoids would be able to start much the same way as the Xenonauts ones, do. In that they can come from anywhere. I always saw the silacoids as mining creatures for the aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
