Aliens vs. Pinball was announced as part of the Alien Day celebrations but aside from a small comment and picture that Zen Studios posted there’s been very few details said about the game. That has now changed. Zen Studios has released the trailer, several screenshots and some information regarding the game!

There's definitely some strategy involved but I'm certainly no pinball wizard either. I do TRY to aim my shots but whether if I make it or not is usually just luck haha I couldn't figure out how to do the Bypass stuff on the Aliens table when you shoot your ball but for the rest of it I seemed to be doing ok. I did the best on the AVP table so far. I somehow already got the trophy for that table & I've hit 42mill as my top score at the moment. I think I got maybe 20mill on Aliens & I'm doing really badly on Isolation. Maybe only 2mill on that one so far. They're oddly more addicting than all the previous Marvel & Star Wars tables. I especially liked in Aliens all the little Alien icons popping up & coming down towards the flippers. Also I don't know how to do it but I've made the AVP table go Infrared quite a few times which looks really cool, I just have no idea what I'm doing to initiate that to start haha Same with the few times I've got to start a little mini game on Aliens where you drive the APC & use the L1/R1 to steer it from left to right dodging debris. I've done it a few times now but I'm not sure exactly how I'm starting it.
Yep the video was posted above. It's not a great quality vid. I don't have a capture device for PS3 footage so all I could do was stick my camera in front of my tv for this one. It's like 3 posts up or something. Most definitely I'll throw a subscribe your way what's your channel link? I do most old school NES & SNES runs on my channel. (Nevermind, just saw your channel link in your sig, having a blonde moment day, she's been subbed!)
I got somewhat excited that I booted up Zen Pinball & there was an update for the game but alas, the Alien tables are still NOT showing up on PS3. 9am in my area. Not very punctual for getting the product out fast. I wanted to make a video impression on it today to post here but I don't see that happening now.
Finally go the tables & here's my first impressions video on them. This is for PS3..

Are these up yet?
Ok that's cool then. It wouldn't be the first time I got ripped off for not having the newest console. The latest Godzilla game. Only half of what's on the PS4 version is on the PS3 copy, certain monsters aren't there, the ability to play as other monsters & there's no physical copy, digital only. 60 bucks. Paid full price for what I found out later was only half a game. Wasn't pleased about that. & then seeing my brother got different tables for Pinball Arcade on PS4 than what I get on PS3 just had me slightly worry haha
"In Alien: Isolation pinball, players must help Amanda Ripley survive the dangerous corridors of Sevastopol Space Station while evading a merciless Xenomorph," Zen explained. "Additionally, you'll have to contend with 'Working Joe' androids and Station Security Guards, craft weaponry, and hack computers while you keep an eye out for the relentless Alien."
I'm going to have to get this, want it so badly, no real idea why, it just strikes a chord with me i guess.
I just noticed Stompy grabbing Amanda as she gets into that vent.
I can't say I was terribly fussed by this but this actually looks pretty cool.
