This game follows the story of what happens after the John Carpenter 1982 movie adaptation of the John W. Campbell JR Novel "Who Goes There?". The original game borrows heavily on the story from the 2002 video game and the current sequel expands further on the plot after Captain Blake defeats the Thing entity. After the death of Whitley and the destruction of Gen Inc property; Captain J.F.Blake boards a rescue plane and leaves Antarctica. Complications arise and the aircraft malfunctions and crashes. With no report from Blake the Alaska base sends in a new rescue team of which you the player take control. Your task is to find Captain Blake and escort him back to Alaska. However the thing entity did not die with Whitley on that day...
Just an Example of some of the combat windows in the game. As it is getting close to release I feel like visually seeing some completed work will help spark a bit of interest. The Characters Used are Extra/Secret Characters from the games New Story Mode.
The designs for the enemies in this shot are the US Incendiary Troopers (Also known as Pyromarines or Pyrotechnics). They incorporate the design of a rubber flame retardant suit very well. Original concepts were based on the "Pyro" from the Team Fortress games but I feel like it has been adapted quite well, with the inclusion of the Rubber Helmet/Mask it helps promote a more fearsome enemy. You can visually see here that the human enemies are much better proportioned to the screen than before. The thing enemies, particularly the smaller ones have been adjusted in accordance to the human height(s). The Larger Things (and bosses) tend to be of a more fearsome height and/or width as explored in the films.
