The success of Tomb Raider encouraged the developer of Alien Resurrection to scrap its original vis♔ion for the game.

Speaking to Retro Gamer magazine, producer Gary Shirwald spoke about how Alien Resurrection  survived three iterations before its launch in 2000: ,. "The game was initially developed as a top-down parallax scroller because the original movie idea was for t💯he main spacecraft to be like a tower block in space, on many levels." 

Shiꦑrwald goes on to explain, however, that "when Tomb Raider became a huge hit, the🦩 Alien Resurrection game was changed to a third-person action adventure. What they originally asked us to do, we did, and then we all decided to throw it away and start again from scratch. Originally it was a top-down Gauntlet meets Alien Breed game, but then we went for the third-person shooter."

As development progressed, however, certain first-person segments already existing in the game led to another change. Jez San, founder of developer Argonaut ﷽Games said that "the main decision to move [the entire game] to first-person was so you could have stuff jump out at you, which felt more, well, Alien-like."

That change had a significant effect on the game's release window. While movie tie-in games traditionally launch pretty close to their source material, the﷽ new direction saw Alien Resurrection arrive on PlayStation almost three years after the film's r🍌elease in November 1997. 

Despite it🧸s late release, Shirwald suggests Alien Resurrection, "paved the way" for future first-person games on PlayStation thanks to its dual-analog stick approach.. But this game could have been entirely different were it not for feisty Lara Croft and he🌱r success.
