Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

I saw Alien the first weekend it was released in theaters. Even after all these years I've never forgotten the first time I saw the Nostromo landing on LV-426.

That movie has not aged one bit and is still as terrifying.

#2368 posted by Spiney on 2014/06/28 21:36:44

One of the few scifi flicks that have aged really well.
The sequels suck tho.

Aliens Rules

And Aliens 3 is great. The sequels suck? Yikes.

#2371 posted by skacky on 2014/06/28 23:28:49

Gotta disagree with that though, Alien 3 is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It does have killer visuals though.

One Of The Worst...

#2372 posted by killpixel on 2014/06/29 01:53:13

the worst being Prometheus...

*shudders*

There Were Aspects Of Prometheus That Were Great.

#2373 posted by Drew on 2014/06/29 02:20:25

Aesthetically, it was pretty amazing.

The Director's Cut Of Alien 3

#2374 posted by nitin on 2014/06/29 04:43:31

is actually pretty decent IMHO.

And I liked Prometheus :)

Game Over.

Alien: A great horror film and a great scifi film. Along with Aliens, Star Wars, 2001: ASO, Blade Runner & Star Trek, Alien is a corner stone of scifi art. 90% of scifi design is derivative of the films I just mentioned.

Aliens: Another truly great scifi film and one of my favorites of James Cameron. While not as refined and cohesive as Terminator 2 (IMO, James' most matured and polished work, but not my favorite) it boasts great story, pacing and set pieces and shows us Cameron's great eye for composition and practical effects.

Alien 3: I wouldn't say it's "terrible", but it's not exactly good either. It's flaws are more subtle than, say, Alien Resurrection. The film had a difficult production, things happen. The idea of Aliens coming from non-human hosts was neat. However, going back to the single alien, mysterious horror route is a hard road after the hardcore alien porn that is Aliens.

Alien Resurrection: Terrible. Some neat ideas, but very poorly executed. This is the first time the alien franchise had a "movie", the previous installments are "films".

AVP: Fuck you. Get out of my house.

Oh Yeah. Prometheus.

Prometheus was another film that's allegorical of modern society: insipid and pretty.
