Alien Isolation will be available to play at the San Diego Comic Convention Centre starting tomorrow as well as at NerdHQ inside Petco Park nearby. There’ll be 14 pods available at NerdHQ with the option of playing on a PS4 or an X-Box One. For a little bit of added fun, there’ll also be a free Alien Isolation Motion Tracker app for IOS and Android devices that let you find the booth in NerdHQ. Inside of Comic-Con, you’ll find the team at Future US booth #241 where you’ll be able to try out the new time-based mode in a 10 ft. Alien Egg replica with a high-tech gaming chair, LED monitor and immersive sound.
They’ve also got special hours dedicated to those of you coming in Alien and Alien Isolation cosplay. Special prizes and bonuses will be given to you and the chance to talk to creative lead Al Hope about the game. Keep checking this thread on the forum for updates and pictures from the event.

A new video interview with Alien Isolation creative lead Al Hope at SDCC 2014:
Marketing that works is not lame.....i would be shaking in my boots but it would be out of this world to play in that.
When the AVP movie was announced to be released in 2004 i made a couple of closed Foam core, Latex shell Alien eggs for the foyer of the cinema were i work with a sign reading "Opening soon!!!".
They were a hit with the crowds.
Don't knock fun marketing because you don't like it.

Because it needs to sell.
Why does a game need to be front and center?...
Heh... I'm right there with ya Dachande. You couldn't pay me enough to get inside that thing and play the game. But... a part of me (the masochistic part) thinks it's a pretty badass idea.
To the people saying it's just a marketing ploy... duh of course it is. Doesn't mean it's not a badass idea. If anything, I think something like this is exactly what the game needs to keep it front and center in the media.
Marketing>Alien: Isolation
so you'r mr againsteverythingonthewebcommunity guy.got it
It's not evil unless it kills you if you die in the game...
I just happen to believe it is silly and lame to invest money in this thematic alien egg as a marketing ploy...
Jezus.
That's a terrible reason. It has absolutely no bearing on anything other than attracting people to come and experience the game for themselves in a cool and thematic place.
