Will there be any information on the Space Jockeys in the game?

Yautja · December 16th, 2006, 05:23 PM

Will there be any point in the game were the player learns or uncovers information about the Space Jockeys. These are the most unkown creatures in the Aliens universe. There has been many theories about them and there link to the Aliens. The most common theory is that the Space Jockeys created the Aliens as weapons. This is why all the eggs were found in the Space Jockey ship in Alien.
It would be a nice idea to let the player uncover info about them, even if its only small amounts to let the player come up with there own theory on were they came from. Or create a theory of your own for the game.

I posted the same question on the Obsidian boards.

the fact that the word space jockey was not featured in any of the films means "no"

The space jockey is the creature in the derlict space craft in Alien. Its name is mentioned in the directors commetary. (At least I think so.)

I don’t think they should go there, it’s like messing with the meaning of “The Force” from Star Wars, people have their own ideas about the space jockey and why it had the eggs on board in the first place, they should leave it at that. A visit to any Alien homeworld would also be somewhat unnecessary; you’re going to nuke it from orbit? That doesn’t sound very exciting for an FPS.

I'd love to see some more stuff on the Jockeys. But even if it is a cool idea, it wont matter in the end because it wont be cannon.

It'd be a cool idea to find a space jockey, alive. Maybe as an enemy until realising a mutual foe in the xenomorph. I liked their involvement in the Dark Horse novel (just a touch of cool insight there).

Totally agree.

Questions like; "Who/what are the Space Jockeys?" and "Where do the Aliens really come from?" are best left unanswered to keep some mystery.
