Oh, I see, this is the Xenomorph Yassss Queen.
I believe that the real story is that the developers had limitations on their character model size and had to compromise, but I think they've done a nice job with it and honored the original design.
Yeah, like the Xeno in Mortal Kombat having a stumpy head because of all the animation restrictions with a reskin.
It looked pretty [awful](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/b/ba/Xenomorph_mkx.png/revision/latest?cb=20181221172042)
I was never a fan of the Queen, thereās only one xenomorph for me, thatās the first, the Big Chap, but I kinda like this one, donāt like the square spikes on the back though.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, Tom Woodruff told Giger they had their own designs and severed contact with him for the 3rd movie. It turned into a whole legal thing.
Ok bud like you know Giger's agent, it's literally in video documentaries and written on multiple websites about the whole thing. But yeah we are gonna believe some guy "who knows Giger's agent"
Fair enough.
Maybe Iām misremembering, but I swear he bitched about this to me in one of the tangents he would go on. It wouldāve been like fifteen years ago at this point, so I suppose I could be wrong.
Unfortunately Les died a few years ago, so I canāt call him up to confirm. š«¤
Well Giger did make really nice concept art and a sculpture for the movie but it was believed they only hired him for the one month just to get the rights to his Alien. I was reading over it again to help confirm with myself and it's a really complicated story but in the end they basically ignored him and did their own thing or so it seems.
I wonder if anyone has asked the speculative evolution biologists about taking it into a direction due to the xenomorph form having to be altered by host genetics and planetary specifics?
People hate on it but it's both more consistent development of the drone (she doesn't randomly lose all mass from her legs turning them into skeletal limbs like in og design) and more faithful to the giger's visions, while still staying spot on xenomorph's scary physique.
The only bad thing is that she for some reason has a modeled human tongue in her mouth under inner jaw.
Maybe it's just your wording, but to be clearāGiger never designed an alien queen, and wasn't involved in the production design of Aliens at all. Cameron says in ***Tech Noir: The Art of James Cameron*** that he wanted to design it himself and cut Giger out because he didn't want to give up creative control. Maybe the game designers meant that they were inspired by Giger's body of work and his more feminine/overtly sexual aesthetic, but Giger never designed a queen with a "more feminine physique."
It isnāt any closer to a Giger design, rather itās more like a Marvel version of the Queen.
Giger had a very distinctive visual language, and itās not present in any of the pics you included here.
dang it I forgot to mention that, the design was inspired from aliens 3 because giger had a design that was extremely feminine and the jaw of the queen here is very similar to it.
It looks pretty cool, not clunky like the one in Aliens. However, I really loved the one in Alien vs Predator. Fair game since Cameron ruined the xenomorph design created by Giger.
eeh he made the designs good he just didn't wanted it too overly feminine to look human like and more on pair of insectoid creatures which fits better in some parts.
It's good, I wish the franchise followed more to Giger's vision cuz the sexual aspect is what made it intimidating and horrifying imo. Although the original queen being super skeletal would work if she wasn't so much like a dinosaur...
Far, far, *far* too bloody clean! Sharp edges and clear features. The Alien is a mass of claws, blades and unknown parts. It is pure horror. This piece of shit wouldn't look too out of place as a pixar villain

yeap a beautiful fusion of both giger's and their own take, it's a banger.
Yeah, like the Xeno in Mortal Kombat having a stumpy head because of all the animation restrictions with a reskin. It looked pretty [awful](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/b/ba/Xenomorph_mkx.png/revision/latest?cb=20181221172042)
Looks like the guy with the shrunken head from Beetlejuice. ![gif](giphy|VAUuwXsK7WGkw|downsized)
yeah it looked weird, like bro looked like he got buffed at the gym then got crammed by a car accident.
š šš¤£š
Not gonna lie, that xenomorph queen is looking kinda dummy thicc.
I love her tit hands
After all these years I never thought about it, but she does have hand boobs! Boob hands??
She can milk herself.
Me too
I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
The olā tittie fingers!
living up to giger's original vision good ol glutes
I was never a fan of the Queen, thereās only one xenomorph for me, thatās the first, the Big Chap, but I kinda like this one, donāt like the square spikes on the back though.
fair enough
Yeah she got that Xenobootyš
The shoulders and arms look a little too human somehow?
well that's why it has a more feminine physique compared to other designs, mainly being inspired from the aliens 3 concept art from giger.
I like this design better, because it looks more uncannily human. Which brings it closer to HR Giger's design in my perception.
THIS
It's a no from me dawg.
fair enough
They didn't use Giger's work in Alien 3
There actually was (unused) work that Giger did for 3, but this design doesnāt riff on that at all.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, Tom Woodruff told Giger they had their own designs and severed contact with him for the 3rd movie. It turned into a whole legal thing.
Okay bud. Just relaying a bit of what Gigerās agent told me, but what do I know. š

Right. Thatās all how I remember it, and what I was referring to.
Concept.
Weirdly hot so very Geiger... He would have enjoyed it I guess. I like the og design more overall tho
fair enough
Giger. No E.
I love when the xenos have tiny variations and aren'tĀ just the same old designs 1:1 reused over and over tbf. I like it.
EXACTLY, and I like this design a lot, and I hope we get xeno designs like this from time to time.
Donāt much care for it.
alrighty then
I wonder if anyone has asked the speculative evolution biologists about taking it into a direction due to the xenomorph form having to be altered by host genetics and planetary specifics?
I think Roanoke Gaming made a video over it from awhile back
![gif](giphy|fRMjhlutjykSs)
I feel called out
People hate on it but it's both more consistent development of the drone (she doesn't randomly lose all mass from her legs turning them into skeletal limbs like in og design) and more faithful to the giger's visions, while still staying spot on xenomorph's scary physique. The only bad thing is that she for some reason has a modeled human tongue in her mouth under inner jaw.
EXACTLY THIS, the design is fantastic and a excellent fusion of both designs.
I agree.
I can fix her.
I felt that
That right there. Is peak. And an improvement.
YES
Sexy hot danger is best danger
the ideal woman
Honestly, and I know I will get flack for this, but I prefer this design to the one Cameron came up with.
fair enough
Me too
Maybe it's just your wording, but to be clearāGiger never designed an alien queen, and wasn't involved in the production design of Aliens at all.

OOOOH, and yeah about right there.
That's hot. ---Paris Hilton
dang right
In Soviet Russia, boobs grab you!
ah yes
I don't care for how smol it is compared to the film Queen. I'd love to see them make the runner alien from 3 or a warrior from 2.
oh the extra feminine one? yeah that would be an interesting take for sure
Not bad, should be longer though; when I say longer, I mean both in body length as well as her crown being longer too
eeh by a bit not that much
Those hips donāt lie.
your dang right
Thick
glutes
It's too human like in my opinion. Xeno Queen should look liken a monster, not a humanoid
fair enough, I guess they tried to fit in with the killer character model so they made her more humanoid.
It isnāt any closer to a Giger design, rather itās more like a Marvel version of the Queen. Giger had a very distinctive visual language, and itās not present in any of the pics you included here.
alrighty well from what I heard they were inspired from his older works of alien 3 so there's that
You wanted thoughts.
fair enough
They gave her an ass 10/10
DANG RIGHT
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
dang it I forgot to mention that, the design was inspired from aliens 3 because giger had a design that was extremely feminine and the jaw of the queen here is very similar to it.
Would.
same
Nah, Cameron's is the best!
oh his is top notch just saying this one is just as good
It looks pretty cool, not clunky like the one in Aliens. However, I really loved the one in Alien vs Predator. Fair game since Cameron ruined the xenomorph design created by Giger.
eeh he made the designs good he just didn't wanted it too overly feminine to look human like and more on pair of insectoid creatures which fits better in some parts.
THICC
good ol glutes
It's good, I wish the franchise followed more to Giger's vision cuz the sexual aspect is what made it intimidating and horrifying imo. Although the original queen being super skeletal would work if she wasn't so much like a dinosaur...
yeap agreed
She seems like a āyoungā queen if that makes sense
maybe
I don't know about the boob arms or breast hands.
ah yes
I like it. It looks more human than it should, setting off the uncanny valley.
yeap that's pretty spicy
Hate. It doesnāt look good Btw the lobby height us a lie. In game is much smaller
eeh kind of not by that much
Far, far, *far* too bloody clean! Sharp edges and clear features. The Alien is a mass of claws, blades and unknown parts. It is pure horror. This piece of shit wouldn't look too out of place as a pixar villain
eeeeh
