Why can't any alien FPSs have aliens that aren't spitting images of humans? Seriously, gears of war, halo, resistance, and now this all have "aliens" with 2 legs, 2 arms and a head who wield "guns". It'd be nice for the aliens to be a completely different side with no guns and with abilities and characteristics that make them unique.

 

cos most people like to get involved in gun fights with people that shoot back, you need arms for that. It's hardly a deal breaker is it?

 

It just seems like the same shit time and time again. I wish someone would break the mould.

If you've looked over any of the released pictures, you'd see quite a few non-humanoid aliens in The Conduit. The trailer showed several small "hidden" creatures, some flying insectoid creature, and at the end, a very large alien beastie crawling through a hole in a building. On top of which, I highly doubt they'd just so easily release images of the truly large and nasty creatures they may have in store for us, or any of the bosses. The entire Metroid Prime series features a vast wealth of non-humanoid aliens and creatures like Flaaghra, Thardus, Metroid Prime, the Ing, and several other beasties. The mold was broken, but not enough people bought into it. I would also like to see more use of non-humanoid aliens and creatures in these games as well, so I'm glad The Conduit is showing some of this stuff early on. Even if some of their aliens do look a little too much like some Space Pirates...
