BBC News has recently interviewed Sigourney Weaver about her involvement in Alien: Isolation. The Alien actress comments on why she decided to join the project as well as on where she thinks videogames might be headed. The interview also includes new footage from the game’s pre-order DLC, Last Survivor and Crew Expendable. Be sure to watch it below or at the source.
As for Brett being cocooned, one of the DLC levels has you playing as Ripley from when she arms the self-destruct to when she blows up the ship, I wouldn't be surprised if you come across Brett and Dallas.
I'd assumed Brett would be in there via a cutscene or flashback or something. Maybe an intro video set before he gets his face perforated.
That's what they said in the official press release. But then why bother creating a detailed game model of Brett as well as hiring the original actor just for a few lines in a audio log? Right?

Strange to have a voice actor for an already dead character unless flashbacks or personal logs are what they're going for. The latter, with the addition of liberal static, might help cover up the fact that Stanton's voice has seen much better days (Skerritt and Weaver sound like they haven't aged a day). Could be I'm underestimating CA's sound engineer though.
And as you (I think) said, SM, it's unfair to judge a work from a peek given when it is still in progress.
Not sure about the line from Brett. The DLC is supposed to start after he dies.
Interesting line from Harry Dean Stanton. It suggests Brett can end up as a survivor.
Who knows... if they'd had a big wench on the Nostromo, things might have been different.
I'd like to know if we get to explore as much of the Nostromo in the 2nd DLC as the 1st DLC and if we are able to go down to the undercarriage room and see Dallas & Brett strung up in the cocoons.
"I need some relief."
I wonder if this means we'll be able to climb that ladder outside the infirmary and find out where Ripley came from?
On top of that, they said that they are changing the layout of the Nostromo interior a bit to provide better gameplay. (More places to hide from the Alien, etc. etc.)
Not entirely accurate though - but I'm guessing they're operating under the proviso of 'If it wasn't on screen, we can get away with it.'
Also at 3:08 would those be pictures of the Nostromo crews loved ones and such?
