Alien: Isolation is an upcoming first-person survival horror stealth game developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega, part of the Alien franchise.

The game is set in 2137, 15 years after the events of Alien. The game follows Amanda, who is investigating the disappearance of her mother Ellen Ripley. Amanda was transferred to the space station Sevastopol to find the flight recorder of Nostromo. However, an Alien has already infested the station.
































Also, very interesting...the Alien runs off a real "AI", it learns what you do to avoid it and counters how you play, nothing is scripted which should add a huge twist and new experience each time you play.

As an awesome bonus...the first DLC (that comes with pre-orders) will have you returning to the Nostromo with the original cast members from the movie.

I'm looking forward to this game big time, it looks amazing.

 

 

I've been keeping an eye on this game...hopefully it is good.

To this date, I'd say one of the FREAKIEST games I've played was the AvP on PC from 1999. Playing that game on the Marine campaign was piss-your-pants esp. in the dark and with headphones turned on full.

 

They've introduced Survivor Mode...


And a bunch of new short trailers of basically now to NOT play lol

 

 

OXM rated it 9/10

Initial reviews are pretty good. Reading some of them, looks like you'll be pissing your pants playing this in the dark...

I'm tempted to pick it up later.

 

Pre-ordered mine from GameStop on Tuesday for the 2 extra DLC's. I'm super excited for this.

Btw, this is an excellent review.

?Alien: Isolation: The Kotaku Review

 

^ Nice, WD. Post your impressions when you get it!


I'm going to wait a bit. I'm also very intrigued with "The Evil Within" and will wait for the reviews to come in for that and then pick one of the two.

 

Will do!! My poor girlfriend agreed to play this by my side...I don't think she knows what she got herself into.

 

It's out today!!!

I'm picking it up on my lunch break so I can go straight home after work

 

Let us know if you piss your pants!

 

I think I'll be okay...my gf on the other hand...

 

O RLY...?


FWIW, I think I almost myself playing the 1999 PC FPS game. Actually, I recall the game came with a free voucher to get yourself a new pair of underpants.


The Marine campaign had me on the edge for sure.

 

Haha, man, those were the times...I wish I could erase the "not scared" portion of me. I want the game to be as scary as it was for the folks in the theater in 79'.

 

You should play "Outlast"...

 

Eh...

Alien does look scary...I just watched a video on the Survival Mode...

 

The fact is what you can't see that scares the bejeezus outta you...they used the same formula in the 1999 game for the Marine campaign. And do you have the same motion detector that Hudson had in the movie? I had that in the PC game and man, it often drove me batsh*t crazy when it started to beep when it picked up something.

 

I don't know if it's the same one but it looks like this...

 

That's the one! Enjoy that thing...it's both a curse and life-saver in many ways. But, as it starts beeping faster and faster, you're thinking "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...I want my Mommy!"...

 

I dunno if facehuggers are in this game...but, if yes...

 

Oh I'm sure haha, it starts beeping and panic immediately sets in...oh shit, oh shit oh shit, WHERE DO I HIDE?!


There hasn't been any mention of them...only the Alien, humans, and Working Joes, the androids.

 

More often than not, it's a false alarm. Like a fan will trigger it.

So, yeah...then you get mad and try to shoot the damn fan for freaking you out.

 

Really?!

 

Well, reporting back, alive...

Alive in game too, I didn't make it far enough to die

All I'll say is this is a grownup's game...it's tense, unforgiving and very stressful.

I played for an hour and a half last night and only saw Mr. Alien 3 times, none of which he had the option of killing me because of cutscenes, but I was still in constant fear because I didn't know when they would release him to come after me.

During my play through I was also stuck in areas for 10+ minutes. Objectives are short and direct and offer little to no hints of where to go or what to do. That also gets nerve wracking because in the future, I'm sure it will be the same way and the Alien will have free reign.

So...am I afraid of the Alien in the movie? No. Why? Because he's on rails and I know it's coming.

Am I afraid of the Alien in this game? Yes. Why? Because I am in control, I don't know what's going to happen and he is smarter than me. So really...I am not in control.

 

You your pants yet, WD?

Great initial review.

 

Another few days and I'll pick between The Evil Within and this game. Coin flip right now.

 

If you're a fan of the original Alien movie, I say this. No coin flip needed.

And thanks, Yum.

I haven't yet but there were a few jump scares that got me last night...the ship rattles and lights go out, a TV blew out right above my head, scared me and my gf haha.

 

Thanks for the recommendation!

Seeing the trailers and videos already, it does bring back memories of the 1999 PC game I had played many times through. So, this is why I'm not in a rush to get it. As well, FP games on consoles generally make me dizzy and sick...which is why I'm also holding off on getting it for the moment.

 

Really? Why is that?

 

Just do. Not sure why...this is why I never played any of the CoD games on the PS3.

Actually, all my games on the PS3 and PS2 are non-FPS-type games. I did have the launch-title, "Resistance" on the PS3 but traded it in after I got too dizzy playing it.

 

That's very odd...

And this is only with first person games on consoles?

 

Well, I guess it gave me a headache on PC as well. But, I was addicted and compelled to maintain my abilities for games like Quake and Unreal Tournament.

I played so much FPS on the PCs that I think I got so set on the keyboard-mouse layout/setup for movement, shooting, and jumping that I just never got used to it on consoles.

 

Okay well...this game is scary as shit, man.

They finally dropped the Alien in my playing area and he's insane.

To start off, they drop him right in front of you, very slowly, so you have a few seconds to hide, and then he starts his search for you.

All I can say is he moves quickly, and he's persistent. I stayed under a bed for a while until I knew he took off in the vents. Then as soon as I moved, HE CAME BACK and I went into panic mode for a hiding spot.

I was killed twice last night, both times, he pulled me from my hiding spot...little did I know that if you're too scared to move, he will eventually look in the hiding spots and your only chance of avoiding him grabbing you is pulling back and holding your breath, but that's not guaranteed.

Your best chance is to keep moving and hiding when he's around. Absolutely no sprinting and try not to knock things over, he'll come to investigate.

I was on edge the entire time I was playing last night, even had to pause it a few times.

 

Wow...sounds like fantastic AI for the creature. I take it that Ms. Ripley can't kill the thing?

 

Not at all.

 

So...this happened to me last night...



If I had my Kinect on it was something along the lines of, "Oh holy fuck".

I have no idea why it's not embedding. Stupid AZine.

 

Yeah, sometimes if the URL is not correct, the vid does not embed...I have that issue all the time in Automotive News and etc.


So, you've had a few "MOMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" run flailing your arms in the arm moments, huh?

 

Just a few.

Shortly after that scene, I went down the hallway to have a gas line blow up in my face and the Alien come running through the vents to investigate.

 

Nice...how far are you into the game?
