Aliens in Video Games
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
The first one I wanted to talk about are the katamari aliens. They are chaotic neutral. The larva are usually running about in planet Earth fooling about. The bigger ones like the King are more dangerous.
They may act benign at times, but then he orders the prince to block a meteor with all the countries of the world. The earth is saved but all the humans die or something. In the Alien games, the Xenomorph is mostly programmed to multiply itself.
It weirdly reacts to what it perceives as a treat or potential food. In Stranded Alien Dawn, the humans are the aliens. They bring guns and they pillage the wildlife. This is more true in the mission were you have to flip the planet for a profit.
In Star Ocean Till the end of time, the aliens are the 4D beings. Their MMO RPG game became self-aware. It created magic to go into the real world and they started murdering the player base. Or maybe the aliens are the gaming characters come to life.
Either way it is a problematic situation for all involved. In Infinity Nikki, Nikki is the alien who doesn’t belong to the world of Miraland. She is kinda good most of the time. Her only character flaw is her greed and love of dresses.
Momo’s flaw is his gluttony. They had more nuances in Shining Nikki, but they got softened for the PS release. In Metroid, Samus fought the aliens, then she became the Metroids, and then the X.
She usually blows up whatever planet she lands. Do not invite her to planet earth. In Prey, the Typhons might be higher evolved humans. They combine well with the humans.
I mean, you can’t add a dog to a human, or vise versa. So the prey Aliens might be humans. Anyhow, there is a video blog of this topic in my Artsy Sister Youtube channel. Do not forget to give a like and subscribe.
