Gifs or pics?

Um, I don't mean to be a n00b, but does anyone have gifs of Viper V8R with the Alien Girl?

[Hyperguy]

Her?



I don't think there was an alien girl in Viper V8-R, though this alien girl appeared in Viper V6-R.  Her name's Silver.  I guess that explains why she's so pale.

Actually Silver and not Sylvia? I guess she is a different enough character from the original Alien War, but that sounds like it could just be a typo or a misreading.

[Zaguruzemu]

That's the one. Do you have any more pictures please?

[Zaguruzemu]

Sorry, did I offend anyone?

Hey Hiperguy please post more pics, I have not seen that picture.

Thanks. Umm, what was Alien War about anyway?

I don't know how similar the remake is, but in the original Alien War there's this war going on between Earth and Antora, and the game starts off with a human fighter pilot named Sylvia in the middle of a losing battle with two Antoran mechs. After picking one of the right options that doesn't result in a quick death and Game Over, Sylvia gets captured by the Antorans and taken to their General. Then the Antorans start raping her for some reason, but they've obviously never done it with an earth girl before because halfway through they get all scared and confused. Realizing this, Sylvia switches from "unwilling victim mode" to "inviting whore mode" and shows the aliens what human sexuality is all about. In the end the scene swicthes to a happy wedding between Sylvia and I think General Sinn (all the Antorans look alike to me though so I'm not sure. I guess it doesn't matter) and the two planets are at peace thanks to her whoring herself out like that.

Since I've seen some gifs of Silver both liking and disliking it, I'd guess V8R follows a somewhat similar plot. Either that or she just gets the Stockholm Syndrome towards the end.

Huh. Well that's bizzare

The remake is the same story (as all the -R versions were)

Her name is Sylvia, not Silver.  She's human.  And her three choices at the beginning, if I recall correctly, are Suicide Run, Self Destruct, and Surrender - only surrender continues the story.

The summary of her actions: "Oh, you're going to kill us all? Ok, but look what you're going to miss out on if you do."

She marries General Shin, the text gives us this as he talks during the post-wedding interview.  He's also the only red Antoran in V6R, so the -R artwork doubly confirms that's the one she married.

I'm pretty sure the text in the original Alien War didn't mention the husband's name. I was actually looking for it when I played through.

There's also four options at the beginning. The two that get her killed are indeed the "Self-Destruct" and "Retreat" options, but in addition to the option to Surrender, there's another one where the enemy mechs shoot at Sylvia for a bit before it cuts to the same surrendering scene. I tried translating the text for that option but couldn't make heads or tails of it so I dunno, maybe she decides to surrender but forgets to tell the guys shooting at her about it. Either way it's a little bit of extra animation for choosing "Surrender B" instead of "Surrender A".

I think if there's one interesting thing about Alien War overall, it's that they give you the one four-option choice right at the very beginning of the game, and then it's either instant Game Over or long, choiceless cinematic. Seems like a weird way to set up a game, even in the early Vs.
