I don't see anything to indicate any of the original actors have done any voice-work. Signing a form to allow your likeness is just a signature and doesn't entail personal involvement. Any audio might be severely limited and be nothing more than using clips from the film.

Honestly, if they'd managed to get as lucrative a coup as that, I'd think they'd put it front and centre for the basic edition, personally.

Even so, I'm impressed with how well done those likenesses are, but wonder if they were purely for promotional art purposes or if we see any of them in the actual playing experience.

DLC will be available 8 days after the premiere of "Alien: Isolation".

In the article it says she recorded new dialogue. Also Weaver herself said it was strange reading her lines again 35 years later.

With the "Alien" cast returning, wondering if there will be audio diaries (collectables) from the cast that you fined that give you more insight about the crew, internal squabbles, foreshadowing events , Ellen talking about her daughter Amanda. (ex. Amanda founds one of the diaries , Ellen talking about a gift she would give to Amanda on her Birthday, the one Ellen missed.

When playing on the Nostromo will you use the original tracker or the new model ?

Will Jonsey make a appearance ?

Take 90 seconds to watch the trailer.

Shit, man, this sounds damned interesting. Hope it's released as separate DLC down the line, though; nothing pisses me off more than store-exclusive preorder bonuses.

I repeat that sentiment that I wish Hurt and Holm were involved, but alas, the Brits have been left out.

[Mr. Clemens]

Gamestop Canada makes no mention of the DLC on their preorder page. Is there a Canadian alternative, or must I order from the US?

[ikarop]

There's always a retailer in your country that offers/will offer the DLC. It varies from country to country so it may not be Gamestop if you're outside the US (even if Gamestop is in your country). Just need to wait a bit longer until the exclusives are sorted out.

Told ya Brett would be in the game.

In the article it says she recorded new dialogue. Also Weaver herself said it was strange reading her lines again 35 years later.

Didn't see that, yeah. No indications as to how extensive the recording sessions were, though. I'm doubting there was much to do, considering her mission starts with all the crew dead - nobody to speak to. The 'Expendable' content might possibly be different.

Take 90 seconds to watch the trailer.

I did.

[Hudson]

I did.

Ok. It just seemed like you were doubting new recorded dialogue even though you can hear Yaphet Kotto's voice speaking new recorded dialogue.

[OpenMaw]

Can you, though? It honestly doesn't sound anything like him.

[SpaceMarines]

Nah, that was definitely him. He's just old now.

Skerritt and Weaver sound almost identical still, though.
