According to reports, game reviewers have got their hands on Alien Isolation last week but we don’t know when the review embargo will be lifted. Today, the first 20 minutes of Alien Isolation have now been posted by Youtube user PewDiePie, with the approval of Sega. It starts with Sigourney Weaver’s “signing off” speech from the end of Ridley Scott’s Alien and we’re introduced to Amanda Ripley. She learns that the Nostromo Flight Recorder is on Sevestapol Space Station and goes on a mission to retrieve it. The team reaches the Station and three of them go into space to reach it. The video ends with an explosion causing them to be separated and Amanda manages to climb her way into the Station.
I would avoid watching it if I were you and the guy who does the commentary is extremely annoying and clearly doesn’t know much about the Alien franchise. He does, however, promise that more parts will be posted soon so stay tuned. If you can get past him, the footage is pretty good and sets up the game well.
I've finally figured out how to record from my PS4 so I'm livestreaming / uploading to youtube my entire second playthrough (in hard mode again) you can check out the first parts here and I'll be updating as I go along :-) Just too bad I didn't know this for the first, I still crap myself plenty of times though.

Somebody knows where I can find the walkthrough in texts?
Nope. No suit. It was one of the missions after mission 9 when they were running mad all over the place.
I bolt gunned all them like "GRATATA"

That look a few attempts to work out for me. I was like "argh! Stop coming at me!".
Was it wearing the rubber suit? Those androids are impervious to most attacks besides the shotgun and boltgun.
Nope. It's just easy to tell that the Xeno isn't going to show up in certain areas, and I don't know if it reacts to things like pipe bombs. I kind of just risked it and hoped it would never be loud enough to show up.
I tried a pipe bomb once on an android. I hit it dead square in the torso and it kept coming at me.
I had to resort to a walkthru 3 times for stuff that wasn't even really hard, just confusing locations on maps and what not.
Still crying?
I relied on it. I used them sparingly on the alien, so he never caught on. I used a couple noisemakers in the later part of the game and without them, I would have gotten killed. Used a few pipe bombs on the droids when I had multiple ones chasing me. Huge save. I killed 4 with one if I recall. Without the pipe bomb, I do not move on.
I felt the EMP devices were worthless. I used a malatov once to scare an alien from stalking me in an air vent. Smoke bomb once to cover my escape from some humans.
I felt the crafting system saved my life.
Same here. I think during most of the android heavy bits the Alien isn't around to attack you so I beat the shit out of the androids when possible.
You're most likely not going to get an answer ever. It's been purposely kept vague for people to speculate.

I would say my only minor gripe was the lack of story. For a game that some will want to treat as canonical wirh superb production values and even original cast recordings, I honestly don't understand why more effort isn't put into the overall narrative. I know it's a game about Isolation but I'd happily slice 5 hours off the campaign in exchange for a meatier story. It starts off promisingly with the tour of the Torrens crew, and the run around with Axel, then nothing really happens from then on in terms of characterisation.
Anyway, the safest thing to do with terminals is to quickly browse through everything and then retreat to a closet and then pull out a map screen from which you can access all the logs and read them without exposing yourself to Alien.
Seriously? I crafted the hell out of everything. Pipe bomb + androids = kablowie
It seems he can do whatever he want in the game lol
Looking other people playthroughs...they are so different from mine O_O
Its really hard to know the amount of scripted events in this game related to the alien, and that is a good point
There was also one in a shelf in a locked room in the Systech tower.
