Press Release:
Spoiler
SEGA® of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products today announced Alien: Isolation™, a thrilling first-person survival horror experience that will focus on capturing the horror and tension evoked by Ridley Scott's 1979 classic film. Developed by Creative Assembly, Alien: Isolation is due for release in late 2014 on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.
On a decommissioned trading station in the fringes of space, fear and panic have gripped the inhabitants. Players find themselves in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger as an unpredictable, ruthless Xenomorph is stalking and killing deep in the shadows. Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.
"In Alien: Isolation, we have taken the series back to the roots of Ridley Scott's 1979 movie, the original survival horror," said Alistair Hope, Creative Lead at Creative Assembly. "Our Alien is a truly terrifying creature, as intelligent as he is hostile, relentless, brutal and unstoppable. This is the Alien game fans of the series have always wanted."
"Creative Assembly has created a truly incredible gaming experience, capturing perfectly the very core of what has made the Alien franchise remain relevant after 35 years," said Jeffrey Godsick, president of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. "This partnership has led to the creation of a game that is simply outstanding and sets the tone for what is to come this year for the 35th anniversary of Alien."
Alien: Isolation will be available in late 2014 for PlayStation®4 system, Xbox One, PlayStation®3 system, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Throughout 2014, Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products will be honoring the milestone 35th anniversary with a yearlong celebration marking the beginnings of the Alien legacy by releasing commemorative and fan-favorite products.

QuoteI played Alien: Isolation for forty-five minutes, and in that time it did more to rehabilitate the alien in the part of my brain reserved for things that scare the shit out of me than any game since the original Aliens versus Predator.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.pcgamer.com%2Ffiles%2F2014%2F01%2FAlien-reveal-610x343.jpg&hash=e56c8046154197942440593f30d470343fcd25a1)
QuoteI gained control back as the Alien moved to leave the room. It's enormous - around eight foot tall - and much more upright than its counterpart in Aliens. It doesn't move particularly quickly unless it has seen you. This is a lone hunter, not a pack animal, and you pose no threat to it - it doesn't need to dash about looking for you. It takes its time.(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.pcgamer.com%2Ffiles%2F2014%2F01%2FAlien-stalking-610x343.jpg&hash=c49d31b824becf6dbb86dcc03feaea5238eb9baa)

Shit game. Basically a reskin of Amnesia. Very crappy mechanics. The xeno was LITERALLY behind her and 1 sec later she saw it and ran away just like that. Lol no. If there's a xeno behind you, if you see it after it was already there - that would be because the xeno allowed you to live enough to do it; if you try to out run a xeno in a room or corridor you will fail; The scary thing about the "original" xeno was that it was better in every aspect than the average human. In the video, in the moment I realized that I can out run a xeno I was no longer afraid of it. And this is where the game ends for me. The whole idea of playing hide and seek with a xeno is laughable. You can't hide, its not about if you can hide from it but when the xeno will attack. Those moments when the player hid behind some machine and the xeno just stand on the other side instead of crawl above and kill the player were "ROFL" moments :laugh:

The Alien in ALIEN didn't really seem all that interested in chasing after Ripley.
The end of ALIEN must have been a laugh out loud riot.

The Alien killed her as she ran away. It's in another preview vid, i'll try and find it. The point is, you can't just run away.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lkh0-jPfxs#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lkh0-jPfxs#ws) About a minute in. As soon as she started running, the Alien caught up and killed her.

QuotePart of the tension of this hide-and-seek comes from all the subtle gamey things that CA have intelligently included. You can lean around corners and over the top of boxes and consoles – but I am told if you do decide to have a quick peep, the Alien can spot you if he is looking your way. None of the baffling disconnect from Dishonoured's idiot guardsmen here Just the fearful dilemma: look or hide. It's simple and it's smart.

QuoteAfter details about Alien: Isolation were leaked by Kotaku late last year, a number of fans took to forums to complain about the choice to focus on Amanda. Very little about Amanda is discussed in the films, although her fate is mentioned in a deleted scene in Aliens. In that scene, company man Carter Burke (played by Paul Reiser) shows Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) a picture of an old woman and tells her that it's Amanda; he also tells her that Amanda has died.Well at least this is a bit more believable than Hadleys Hope surviving a nuke.
It's a thin bit of lore, but that description seems to preclude Amanda from a certain amount of danger in a parallel story such as Alien: Isolation's. Since Amanda lived to old age, she couldn't have been killed by an alien — right?
Under Creative Assembly's interpretation of the Aliens story, that's not necessarily true.
"As a big fan of the series, one of the thoughts that always occurs to me, is that Burke, as we know in the second film, he's not the most trustworthy guy in the world," Lindop said. "He lies through his teeth. And he needs, desperately needs, Ellen Ripley to go with the marines to see what's happened to the colony (in Aliens). And so he shows her a picture of an old woman and says, 'This is your daughter, she's dead, okay let's go.' And you think, well, he's not the most trustworthy guy — is that the whole story? What may have happened there? So Amanda's an incredibly interesting character. If she's anything like her mother, which I suspect she might well be, if anybody's going to go looking, it would have been her, right?"

This looks very promising! I really don't want to get too excited after the mess that was Colonial Marines however I can't help it! The Xeno AI, environments and sound design all seem very good. An IGN employee tells his experience of the game here http://uk.ign.com/videos/2014/01/07/alien-isolation-gameplay-discussion (http://uk.ign.com/videos/2014/01/07/alien-isolation-gameplay-discussion).There is a decent amount of gameplay and it all sounds good/looks great. One thing I will note, in this discussion the guy says that the developers made sure that the Xeno's design was true to the original Giger Xeno, however the legs are like the legs of the Xenos in Resurrection. This may be because it's a different alien because as the guy discusses in the video the developers have said that the alien in this game is bigger that the one in the original. I'm just nitpicking here because everything else looks very good.

Don't know if I agree about people saying the campaign should be about 4 hours long instead of 12. Will be very hard to maintain that level of fear for that long. Interactions with other human crew members is going to be critical. Also heard that the space station is similar to The Sprawl from Dead Space 2?

Faultless.
I'm so happy I feel like crywanking. Creative Assembly could rejuvenate the whole franchise here. Alien is still a big license and I'm thrilled it's getting a broad multi-gen release.

Apparently quite a few people. Maybe not 4 hours exactly, but they said they want a shorter more suspenseful game rather than dragging it out. CA allready said that they won't be doing that though. They also said there won't be any "lock and load" moments ala Colonial Marines or even the flamethrowers they had on the Nostromo. You do have a wrench however. Although apparently it's pitiful. Pretty sure it's only meant to be used to break things open.

Yeah, I know I agree with you.
Using the wrench on other crew members does sound pretty good actually. Seeing as the game is all about remaining quiet and staying hidden, maybe theres one crew member who won't shut the f**k up, then WHAM, you brain the bastard.

Yeah more than likely this will happen. The devs mentioned in one of the articles posted in this thread that you will interact with other crewmembers from the ship the game is set on. At one point one of the journalists saw Amanda carrying a hammer, which we all know is going to do jack shit to the Alien. Opening stuff, probably, they are having crafting be a mechanic in the game, but I'm sure there's gonna be some wacky crew members that you're gonna have to kill. The devs didn't mention something about not being able to trust other survivors for no reason.
EDIT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXFBsvg61f0#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXFBsvg61f0#ws)
7:45 - apparently the game is gonna end up being 8 to 10 hours long.

I have kinda mixed feelings. I thought it might have been a third person game similar to Dead Space.
The attention to detail looks good but that was true for ACM as well at the beginning. Just don't see how you can do a game like this without having a gun or something to kill. Hopefully, it will have a decent story to keep you interested.

I'm pretty excited to see a different kinda alien game. It seems kinda weird that most everything alien related is based off the one movie ALIENS. Your typical action adventure shooty shooty game... but what about Alien? Alien3? They are not like that. I really hope they make Isolation more atmospheric and scary (not jump-scares). It's a lot scarier to feel alone with limited weaponry while being pursued by an evil entity. Think Pyramid Head in Silent Hill 2 or the Brute from Amnesia: The Dark Decent.

The black box was on the Narcissus. Draw any conclusions from that you wish. Parting shot of the game is probably a pan shot of the Narcissus leaving your field of view as you die of asphyxiation and your suit scrubbers failing.
There are weapons. Who you decide to use them on will likely determine how long you live, you can probably guess which one they aren't particularly effective on. When ammo is gone, it's also permanently gone.
All hype and marketing aside, this is the first game in twenty years to use color correction properly, you won't be able to say CA didn't try to at least get the little things right.
This game wouldn't exist otherwise, obviously.
That SEGA would allow such a niche genre to frame their last entry tells you two things: how little they cared who wrapped up the contract versus net gain against the license, and how much logistical throughput they were willing to spend, which is why it may actually succeed. Shame they had to abuse the franchise twice for that lesson to finally sink in.
You get what you pay for, both creatively and economically.

According to their Facebook page there is no co op."In the meantime, we'd like to confirm that Alien: Isolation doesn't feature co-op play. It's a first-person viewpoint, single-player, survival-horror game, returning to the roots of the original Alien movie. " from the fb page.

All I can say, not fond on Amnesia like games but with what I saw from gameplay videos and what is really in-game footage and atmosphere (yes I am looking at you Gearbox) than this (even if short SP game) has the potential of being not a triple AAA blockbuster for all casual players but for those who seek the Alien true sense, hardcore fans which might be satisfied with what the series is truly about.
8 passanger of Nostromo is what it's going to be, I don't have to remind any of you what the film was about but it looks like the first game developer has truly captured what most Alien hardcore fans and horror hardcore fans prayed for, an actual enemy you can't fight, you don't see much...I guess which mostly is horrifying and what games that are supposed to scare you should be about.
If the game won't be much expensive I can guarantee that it will deliver.
I cross my fingers for this
Next thing we need is a game that would be like the "Aliens" movie.

Wonder how much they will charge for it: the usual $59.99/$49.99? I think it would be too expensive if the game isn't longer than 10 hours. And again... Colonial Marines. No trust, man. I can't. Not after that.

Because even though Gearbox should take the blame, SEGA was still the head of the project. They lied to as, as well as Gearbox on the state of Colonial Marines. They released it knowing how shitty it was. That's why SEGA doesn't deserve much trust, either. SEGA's leadership of the franchise has been borderline incompetent (in the case of A:CM, completely incompetent). Doesn't mean that the game won't be good, but after A:CM, I'm not gonna just throw money at the screen because of a few videos.
Still not a fan of it being "Ripley's daughter", but we'll see how they handle that.

Alright.
At first I was bitter as hell about this game because of Aliens: Colonial Marines, but from seeing the trailer and some the gameplay I have a little bit of hope for this. I'm still not quite convinced with Amanda Ripley amongst other things, but I'm sold for the game in general and right now the Alien itself looks and feels pretty damn good. I'm willing to give this game a chance.
The absence of a Gearbox logo helps.

The way the titles are done in the trailer is really good.
The screenshots look good but the gameplay graphics I didn't like as much, baring in mind that it is of course still in development.
Also considering it's only just been officially announced, I hope it wont be a rush to get it in by late 2014, as I doubt they'll want to push the release back considering the whole Aliens: Colonial Marines thing.
I also don't know if it'll be a great success if there is only going to be 1 alien. Yes, it's a horror, and is (in theory) going to be like the original, and all that, but realistically I don't presume I'm going to be that scared playing, when it's obvious I'll survive until the end, the alien will probably seem dead the re-appear, all other crew will die (possibly one survives). That is going mostly off film logic, as I don't have much horror game experience.
Just a pet peeve of mine too, why do so many action (in this case more horror) hero's have to have children which grow up to manage get into the exact same situations, if not exceeding (usually in films).

Well as I mentioned earlier in this thread, you're gonna encounter other characters, some that won't be as trusting as others, and in one of the articles it made mention of Amanda holding a hammer, obviously that won't do shit to the Xeno, but to a person's head it can.
Also:
The first report we got was that we were gonna get Soldiers and Synthetics. So maybe that will play later on in the game. Also, in one of the articles that ikarop posted, it made mention of a corporate presence working in the shadows. Some company called Seegson that is trying to be as successful as Weyland Yutani. I'm thinking that both of these things will be connected and as Cal mention on skype to me - you'll probably have to avoid their private army and synthetics as well.

The first thing I noticed about the alien was the sheer size of it, and it will run you down and f**k you up if you attempt to run through the entire game. In this game it seems like it would take 10 minutes to get through one single section, where as if you tried to do the same thing in Colonial Marines, it would only take a matter of seconds.
The only thing that worries me is plot loopholes, other character designs and fighting synthetics. Seeing as this game hasn't been deemed canon (not yet at least) I guess they are f**king around with certain elements of the story? for example.
Yet they only found the Narcissus 57 years later. This is set 15 years after Alien. I call bullshit if they somehow manage to find it just floating around the vacuum of space.

I can already tell you that fighting synthetics are going to be different. The Seegson company is the shadow corporation working behind the scenes. One of the journalists mentioned that their synths look more like mannequins. Basically they are a wannabe Weyland Yutani without the same level of quality.

I like the idea. A blugening object is great for other enemies in the game or maybe smashing open locked doors? Or maybe smashing a facehugger? It wont do much against the Alien(s) thats why you freaking save your firearm... just in case. It's more strategic that way.

The main point is the recovery of the flight recorder, which could easily happen in the novel, and thus tie in to the voice over that says they've found Ripley (paraphrasing here).
I think the novel trilogy is very loose. Stuff in the first book may set up stuff later, and the later books may reference the earlier books, but I don't think it's one story told in 3 parts.

The previews suggest that they went and found the Nostromos wreckage then presumably took a black box from that, or maybe there is no black box and it's all a ruse.
What I wonder is where the alien came from, they hardly found Kane's son so it's got to be from LV-426; but then you have to wonder how the company wouldn't know about the derelict if everyone can just stumble across it.

QuoteSo, Out of Darkness doesn't tie in with 'Aliens' then I take it?
The blurb would seem to indicate that certain events will lead into Aliens - but we don't know how or to what extent as yet.

It would be nice to see an Alien game exist in it's own universe and ignore Aliens but if they were doing that they wouldn't of tied Ripley's daughter from the sequel. It would be cool to have egg morphing and no queens though.

well ummm Last Of Us was a hell of a repetative game tho one of the bests if not the best game of the last generation
honestly i wouldnt mind to walk around trying to survive on a collapsing station with an Alien on my tail for the whole gametime, it only needs a pretty nice slow intro like the movie Alien had to get in touch with the characters with the world, how fascinating is to be in space etc. before you get the whole opposite feeling for the rest of the game, and oh as for the characters, i dont want too many as only 1 monster is in there but 2-3 well built up character(team mates, rescuing someone, any evil human character or a few who always try to screw you) is a must for a decent game

I don't know how they're going to do it to be honest. If you look at the film, Ripley spends nearly all the film not meeting the Alien. And those who do, die in short order. Be tricky to have a game where everything happens to other people rather than the player.

Same could be said for Colonial Marines and Aliens. In Aliens theres nothing for about 40 minutes, then it's 10 minutes of the marines getting their asses kicked then the rest is about them desperately trying to survive and escape.
Colonial Marines dumps you straight into the action, not capturing any of the tension or atmosphere. Although A:CM was made by a bunch of f**king chimpanzee's so, you know.

well thats why i dont like Dead Space....- a few minutes cgi intro- hey im on abandoned ship with a weapon with monsters -....ok but why, where is the tension, cgi intros are worthles nowdays, no depth to them...there shouldnt be cutscenes, no relief at least no cutscene related reliefs...
as for the weapons: a smaller flamethrower would be a good one tho...just having a few shots in it and it couldnt kill the Alien just make him back up for a sec. even in the end of the game you could have weapon and more Aliens for a last escape run or like in a scene entering in the nest like in Aliens, it still could be horror then too
and exactly because what you guys mentioned earlier about how they created the horror tension in Aliens even if there were guns and flamethrowers

This looks so good. One xenomorph hunting you! No more cannon fodder aliens, this is the real deal. This looks like it may be survival horror at its best, kind of like the first Amnesia.
Of course we have been burned before, but as of right now I am really excited.

If they were to put guns in at the end of the game, it would just defeat the purpose of what they are trying to create. The only 'weapon' I could ever see in this aside from melee weapons, is like a blow-torch that you can craft, or even just a f**king stick with a flame on the end of it.
Do we have the capacity to make fire? Most humans have enjoyed that privilege since the Stone Age.

did you feel the tension dissapeared when Dallas entered in the vents with a flamethrower? or when Ripley entered the hive with that multi weapon?
i believe if the tension is created well enough doesnt matter if you have a gun or not, you can laugh at me guys but i felt that playing AVP2 as an 18yrs old. and that was action-horror game :D
and im not praying for action, for guns but its like CA feels if they put a gun in the game it will all go into ACM and that scares me....

Yeah but with Aliens (where in the SE the action bits don't really start until the 70 minute mark) the main/ supporting characters are involved in a way that Ripley wasn't in the first film - she's not there when Brett, Dallas, Parker and Lambert are attacked. And that first 6 minute hive ambush scene almost sustains the next 20 odd minutes.
However, when the rest of it starts around the 104 minute mark - it barely stops for the next 40 minutes.
QuoteThey can actually do the tension build up in this game though due to it actually being a horror game.
The build up is a fine line. It needs to be just enough without getting to the point where you're saying 'Get on with it. When is something really going to happen?' Build up in a game shouldn't be anything like 70 minutes. Or even the 60 minutes of the original cut of Aliens.
Quotedid you feel the tension dissapeared when Dallas entered in the vents with a flamethrower?
Even the unitiated know Dallas ain't coming out of that vent.
Quoteor when Ripley entered the hive with that multi weapon?
We expecting a lot more than one Alien in that scene.

there should be more than an extra hard hide and seek boss battle in the end against the Alien or it will does feel like a repetative game and not an interactive movie like story what they want it to be

The "company" in this doesn't appear to be WY. There's potential for it all to fit together. Maybe not much potential.
And if it doesn't - well maybe we'll still get a fun game out of it anyway.

As usual the story is what interests me.
And forgive me if Im not expecting long diatribes over how the continuity ALREADY doesn't work.
But FOX is marketing an awful lot of OFFICIAL CONTINUITY merchandise for the ALIEN SERIES right now. We have the already released A:CM, and PROMETHEUS, and the expected PROMETHEUS graphic novels/comic series. Now this is an OFFICIAL CANON - entry as a game. Hopefully better than A:CM. But we also have this trilogy of Novels that also follow RIPLEY's bloodline somehow...
I am wondering if any effort whatsoever is being made to make this stuff at least make sense, assuming every fan isn't foolishly trying to take things apart under a microscope.

One of the devs gave his explanation of it saying that maybe Burke could have possibly lied to Ripley just to get her to actually go to the colony. Burke is a rat f**k, so I buy it. Also, this isn't that much proof that this is even gonna be mentioned as to actually have happened. I think this is just a response to justify why Amanda is in the game at all. He did mention that other people would be asking "but didn't she just lead an uneventful life and then die?" and this is the response.

Yeah he did. Hope that not all escape sequences are like that, in terms of finally getting through to the escape door. Most tension would be when the player is still in control, had to look for the keypad and wait on the door shutting where the Alien could still get them. Instead of, oh it's scripted now, i've survived. I'm not complaining, but a mix and match would be nice.

No, I was saying that they were incompetent for not noticing/keeping a strict eye on their investment. SIX YEARS... how did they not notice anything that was going on? They were way too lenient with Gearbox.

It would be so nice to get this upcoming book trilogy and it actually be good. It would even be better if they have gone to the effort of tying this game into the books. But I feel I'm asking for to much.
I'm not holding my breath.
I just don't know why these things can't ever seem to form a cohesive story, isn't there anyone at fox who oversees this stuff. Kind of like how the Star Wars EU has a bad tendency of contradicting itself.

One thing I find very cool and convincing of a brand new type of game is that
Krupa was told that "there's only one alien in the game, and it can't be killed.
Damn awesome. You either survive or die. maybe the company had been lying about ripley's daughter all along. She could be dead by the end of the game, but had been exposed to all sorts of alien stuff. But looks very well worth the time and money to make this game.
There's not much story so far, but here's betting that any story content inside the game will make it engrossing never the less.

Are we finally beginning to see some light here?
The premise is great in my opinion, and think this is a sensible route for "rebooting" (shudders at the word) the series, if indeed Fox are thinking about it.
Even as a way "shutting the book" - imagine Ripley and daughter fighting off the Alien in some grande finale. The series deserves an epic conclusion.

This game look like it could be good. I'm not holding my breath on it yet since Sega can easily f**k things up.
I don't think Sega was to blame for A:CM, the blame falls entirely onto GBX and that f**ktard Pitchford.
Sega are the publishers, they are the ones paying them to make the game. Sega can easily step in and f**k things up. They f**k up games before like Sonic 06 for example.

Added a few more links and the press release:

Press Release
SEGA® of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products today announced Alien: Isolation™, a thrilling first-person survival horror experience that will focus on capturing the horror and tension evoked by Ridley Scott's 1979 classic film. Developed by Creative Assembly, Alien: Isolation is due for release in late 2014 on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.
On a decommissioned trading station in the fringes of space, fear and panic have gripped the inhabitants. Players find themselves in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger as an unpredictable, ruthless Xenomorph is stalking and killing deep in the shadows. Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.
"In Alien: Isolation, we have taken the series back to the roots of Ridley Scott's 1979 movie, the original survival horror," said Alistair Hope, Creative Lead at Creative Assembly. "Our Alien is a truly terrifying creature, as intelligent as he is hostile, relentless, brutal and unstoppable. This is the Alien game fans of the series have always wanted."
"Creative Assembly has created a truly incredible gaming experience, capturing perfectly the very core of what has made the Alien franchise remain relevant after 35 years," said Jeffrey Godsick, president of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. "This partnership has led to the creation of a game that is simply outstanding and sets the tone for what is to come this year for the 35th anniversary of Alien."
Alien: Isolation will be available in late 2014 for PlayStation®4 system, Xbox One, PlayStation®3 system, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Throughout 2014, Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products will be honoring the milestone 35th anniversary with a yearlong celebration marking the beginnings of the Alien legacy by releasing commemorative and fan-favorite products.

Quote"We've got a crafting system where you can create things that help you evade the Alien or defend against it or cause distractions," Napper told us. "At the same time you will find the odd small firearm around the place. It's a large, city-sized space station so there's going to be that sort of thing around.
"At no point are we giving you these huge plasma rifles and M56 smart guns. It's all about that survival horror scrounging, and one of our taglines, like a core pillar of the game has always been 'improvise to survive,' so the stuff you find in the environment is the stuff you want. I think despite there being other threats on the station, you're always worried about what the Alien is doing and where the Alien is. So, a lot of the collecting and everything you do, you're just like, "I'm gonna save this for the Alien!"

Okay why are some of you questioning the whole "they found the black box from the nostromo" thing, this is Weyland Yutani, you can´t trust them.......They lie....... ::)
Also why all the hate on the fact that we get to play as a caracter we´ve only had mentioned in passing in the directors cut of Aliens. It makes sence to me that she (Amanda) would have questions and curiosity about what has happen to her mother and where she could be....... ;)
Im cautiously obtimistic but who of us isn´t worried about this game because of the whole "colonial Marines thing".. :-\

I wouldn't worry about the gameplay that much, remember some people have already tried the 45minutes playable section and they all are praising the game. Colonial Marines gave nothing this substancial for the previews, it was all talk and lies, even the screenshots were fake.
In my eyes Sega will redeem itselt if Alien: Isolation delivers.

The contrast between Gearbox and CA is huge in the way they are talking about the game.
Instead of some giant geek dropping as many quotes as he can and "playing" the game, we get a whole bunch of game critics invited to play a demo, free to give their own opinion. And when the Devs talked they talked about what they wanted to achieve and how in theory were going to do it, without things like "Badass" flashing up.
You can bet that CA will be taking on board the feedback they received as well since they still have most of the year to polish the game up (and I guess port the WIP into the next gen consoles).

My only problem with it is that they are expecting us to swallow the idea that her daughter has an encounter with the same type of creature that her mother did. It's a hell of a coincidence and a bit over the top for me. I'll be fair and say that in the hands of a writer who has actual talent, it could be made to work out, but I'm not going to hold my breath on this one.

You could ask the same about the first film. Simple answer, no-one left to tell anyone... until Ripley woke up.
So here is a dead simple answer: Everyone dies, Amanda decides not to tell anyone / no-one believes her.

Yeah, if she does survive the events of the game, my guess is that she'll keep her mouth shut as not to draw attention, even then I doubt that the company would let her live. They'll keep hunting her down to keep their secret safe, unless they think she is already dead. Chances are she'll be put into some sort of cryo sleep by the end of the game like at the end of Alien, to set up for either DLC or a sequel.

Visually, it's very impressive and, most of all, fluid. Really love both the construction and green monochrome screen of the primitive motion tracker and the fact that you can snap your focus between it and the surroundings.
Gameplay-wise, I still say this will be a bit of a mixed bag... Might as well just look at You Tube videos if it's essentially just a stealthy labyrinth game with a 'boss' you have to avoid. Good luck to them if they get it polished right, but I can't say that's something I want to trudge through.
Story-wise? This is raising more questions than answers.
The chronology's completely wrong here. So far as Burke's concerned, the colony's totally fine at that stage. In fact, it's not even certain he sent them to investigate the derelict co-ordinates by then.
It also screws around with his motivation: He sends them there because he doesn't know if Ripley's story is legitimate. If he's aware Amanda went on this great adventure and that the Aliens are real... I'm not sure we can reconcile that with the film.
I like the stuff about how Ripley's disappearance and the resulting investigation might have emotionally affected her, but the rest doesn't stand up to scrutiny very well.
The black box retrieval is also very strange.
Plus, one would think Amanda's version of events would have been taken into account at Ripley's hearing, no? Instead, there are a lot of non-WY representatives casually saying how "nothing like" the organism she encountered has ever been reported and so on. If Ripley's daughter went on an official trip to find out about what happened to her mother and encountered the same creature, it seems odd that nobody raised this.
And a little odd that Ripley never found anything out about it, too. She must have been gripped by curiosity to learn of what she could about her daughter's eventual life.

Quote"As a big fan of the series, one of the thoughts that always occurs to me, is that Burke, as we know in the second film, he's not the most trustworthy guy in the world," Lindop said. "He lies through his teeth. And he needs, desperately needs, Ellen Ripley to go with the marines to see what's happened to the colony (in Aliens). And so he shows her a picture of an old woman and says, 'This is your daughter, she's dead, okay let's go.' And you think, well, he's not the most trustworthy guy — is that the whole story? What may have happened there? So Amanda's an incredibly interesting character. If she's anything like her mother, which I suspect she might well be, if anybody's going to go looking, it would have been her, right?"

What about Hadley's Hope then? You have an entire colony of people who find this horrible parasitic creature and they never bothered to report it to anyone in the outside world. Either they didn't bother or communications were cut by the Xenos or the company covered their communications somehow.
You have to consider space is a very big place.

This game was accidentally announced while A:CM was still in development. The developers have said they've been working on it for 3 years so far, which seems about right. 3 years isn't exactly a rapid development cycle. They also have maybe another 7 or 8 months of development left if they're going to release in late 2014.

Either they didn't bother or communications were cut by the Xenos or the company covered their communications somehow.The company clearly doesn't know anything about the Alien even after Hadley's Hope has been overrun, because if they did, they'd certainly do something a little more pro-active than just sending Burke along solo to wing it and hopefully engineer a way to recover some samples under the noses of the Colonial Marines. Given what we see in Alien 3, they'd send a whole team of scientists.
So clearly the colony never got word out. I agree that seems a little unlikely, but perhaps by the time they realised what they were dealing with it was already too late. Or maybe the communications equipment got trashed straight away. Who knows. That was probably part of the reason it was never really covered in the film.
Something else I've noticed (apologies if this has already been pointed out) - the outfits worn by the characters in the promo images all feature the original winged sun emblem for Weyland-Yutani, not the more recognizable interlocked W/Y logo.

No just no....thats a plot hole in Aliens....someone sent Ash there for christ sake and risked a whole crew even if it was only 1-2 curious money loving guy why didnt they care in the next 50yrs about the Derelict?...Alien: Isolation could fill that plot hole (even with a single sentence here, 2 curious lame worker guy at the company who got a signal from outter space and told it to no one, made the old scientist quit the mission and payed an other guy to reprogram Ash to bring back whatever he finds,and when de informed about the accident, the explosion of the Nostromo they stayed low because they are just curious nobodies, and Aliens is just a totally differents story where the whole company is intrested)
Im only worried that there is no action in it only this hide and seek game and set up a trap and about how this will work out...take a scene where u have to escape and u get killed 10 times by the Alien before you make it....will it still be scary after those many deads or just annoying simply? and how many of these die or escape encounters do we have? really important altough there must be more times when your life is in danger when its not because if you play it again and you know you cant die in the first half of the game, the replay will be a joke, will be really hard to find the balance im sure of it
well but at least its not a shoot em up, but imo they should have keept the survivor horror in oldschool Resident Evil style with low ammo and scary atmosphere, or they should gave you a flamethrower wich u could use to make the beast only to back off

They clearly didn't know much about the Alien before the first film, because if they had, Ash would've known what the creature was from the start. In the film he obviously doesn't. So the company only translated enough of the message from the moon to know there was something there they wanted, they didn't know specifically what it was. When the Nostromo subsequently disappeared without a trace, the people responsible obviously decided it'd look a bit suspicious if they immediately went sniffing around where the ship vanished (especially as the ship wasn't meant to be there anyway), and so they buried it to cover their own asses and the idea just got forgotten.

Even in the film it seems pretty obvious. He's just as shocked as everyone else when the Alien pops out of Kane's chest. And it's clear when he's studying the Facehugger he doesn't really have a clue what it is.

A greedy company ... and everyone here knows their motives in Aliens... really guys really?
C'mon its common sense that they would cover it up and after the first Alien movie they would cover up that they did in fact know about it. why did someone send Newt's family to the derelict anyway? Because of some hunch all the sudden? No, if you ask me.
I think that they knew about the Xenomorph for some time even before the original movie, Ripley's ship landed on that planet on company's orders plus Ash's knowledge.

Probably the same thing happened in Alien with an other greedy person, the whole company involved in the 3rd movie only when the marines die BUT again whats up with this space station again here and the dozens of dead people? How will this story tie in the franchise? These are the questions.

Nah I take that back... It doesn't look good.
I have an idea for their next Alien game.
You are Ripley's overweight sister nicknamed "Shipley" and the game is really scary because there is like no f'n way you could outrun the alien. Your energy gets low really fast so you are constantly looking for snacks but the alien patrols all the cafeterias on the ship.

Fifty-seven years hence (Eighty-something, counting Prometheus), rumors of an alien life form would be regarded by the Company as we regard Bigfoot rumors today. I follow this with no small amount of ass-talking. Because the Prometheus was bound toward an undisclosed location, the Weyland board would have no way of determining the resting place of their eccentric, ill-fated CEO. One would guess that a search effort would be futile given the number of possible destinations. As for Alien, Special Order 937 could have been programmed into all W-Y synthetics in the event of an extraterrestrial encounter. Thus, no prior knowledge would be required.
With that in mind, you may be right that the Company had no concrete evidence of Engineers and their double-jawed progeny, but they would certainly be willing to treat their human and material collateral as expendable to secure an ET specimen or technology as a matter of profit and principle.

Quote from: Birth_Machine on Jan 08, 2014, 06:06:42 PMThat's something that was really expanded on by later movies and the EU: in Alien the events that unfold are largely the result of unchecked bureaucracy. Well at least according to Scott. The Company is not responsible for the events but they create the conditions that make it possible. That's how he explained it. It's a far rounder depiction than what we later got, which was the 'evil company' trope. It became quite comic in the EU. Aliens also depicted the events that occurred as the results of Burke's machinations, not the Company at large. Alien 3 brought out the evil company thing, or expanded on it. I think it's the first time in the movies that the Company knew about what the Alien, and thus they pursued it.
With that in mind, you may be right that the Company ... would certainly be willing to treat their human and material collateral as expendable to secure an ET specimen or technology as a matter of profit and principle.
Quotes on the matter from an 1984 Scott interview:
Quote"I think any corporation that sends probes into unknown territory is going to think of the possibility of finding something new. I'm sure that the crew members on all its ships would have been briefed to bring back anything of interest. It would be part of one's job to bring it back. An alien, of course, would be of top priority. This particular corporation didn't have a preconceived notion that an alien would be found on this mission, much less the particular alien that is brought onto the ship. The idea of bringing it back alive would not have been on the minds of the corporate executives when they first received the alien transmission. They just had high expectations when they ordered the Nostromo to investigate – it was purely out of curiosity."
Quote"The industrial-government complex is responsible for the attitude that allows such an alien to be brought aboard the Nostromo."(emphasis mine)

What about Hadley's Hope then? You have an entire colony of people who find this horrible parasitic creature and they never bothered to report it to anyone in the outside world. Either they didn't bother or communications were cut by the Xenos or the company covered their communications somehow.
Rewatch the film. The reasons the Marines (and not the company) are sent out there is because communications suddenly halted. Because of the absence of company involvement in the investigation - and sending a bottom-feeder, like Burke, instead of someone with expertise - it's safe to say the issue with communications happened before they could log a report about hulking biomechanical killers on the loose.
Imagine if Brett had been nabbed and Ripley/Parker hadn't seen the creature. The Nostromo crew wouldn't have had reason to suspect that snake-like thing had grown to such life-threatening proportions. Just that someone's gone missing for a few hours in the pursuit of a cat. How many more would it have abducted/killed before they became aware? That's the situation which was going on in Hadley's Hope. By the time they realised what was going on, they were already in dire straits and a full-scale infestation had taken hold in the colony.
Quote from: szkoki on Jan 08, 2014, 02:25:16 PM
No just no....thats a plot hole in Aliens....someone sent Ash there for christ sake and risked a whole crew even if it was only 1-2 curious money loving guy why didnt they care in the next 50yrs about the Derelict?
And nervously swept it under the rug, because they had no idea what took place and realised any evidence linking back to them would have them liable for severe criminal negligence. Much better to just claim on the insurance money and move on.
It's useful to know that Cameron intended to imply that the beacon was no longer active, either because Dallas switched it off or later seismic activity and lava damage. That's why the derelict's hull is torn open in the way it had been. But logic dictates as much, regardless, because the colonists would have otherwise investigated before.

Better idea:
Ripley's half sister from L.A. nicknamed "Cripley" and Vasquez's grandma find out about a company plot to use gang members as hosts for aliens. Although they are from rival gangs, they temporarily squash the beef and team up to defeat the alien hoard. Cripley's power move is to Crip walk in front of the alien

He's brilliant. The upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie Marvel's making is based specifically on his version of the team, and he invented most of the concepts about the greater Warhammer 40K universe that most people take for granted these days. There's a reason most Warhammer readers refer to him as "St. Dan".

When asked directly, CA have said that "no, this Alien is bigger than the original". And, you can see in the preview footage, the thing is a good eight feet tall. Presumably, they'll have a reason for the mass increase.

I have kinda mixed feelings. I thought it might have been a third person game similar to Dead Space.
The attention to detail looks good but that was true for ACM as well at the beginning. Just don't see how you can do a game like this without having a gun or something to kill. Hopefully, it will have a decent story to keep you interested.
They said you can use the environment to help , so maybe in the final version they will introduce pipes or something you can use to hit/kill the Xeno.

In fact they said if the thing even sees you, you're basically dead meat.

Still a early version they played though things can change , but damn if thats true then this is going to be a rock solid game lol, i guess the air locks are interactive and you can try lure the Xeno into one and blast it into space but that could be at the end of the game ? who knows.

So a lot of people mentioning how did they get the Nostromo black box... but here is another one... where did they get an Alien??!
Maybe it's the same Alien from the first film. Perhaps it floated around in space for a while before getting discovered.
Funny thing is this is the most plausible explanation out of any others.

Although this does seem like one possible avenue of how the Xeno is in the game. I hope they do better than that though.

hard stuff to re-establish the spirit of the original movie and the scariness of the creature, not to feel like a bug or a giant animal who wants just to stab you with his tail or eat your brain out...the Alien has to be...completly alien to us AGAIN. just remember how strange it was, it made you terrifiyed but curious, fascinated aswell in the same time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyqn0H-sgSE# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyqn0H-sgSE#)
remember ? look how its acting how it crouches, how it holds it's hands when approaches her etc. also u never knew it just simply killed Lambert or raped her in someways
if they can get this strange unique fascinating and horrifying aspect of the Alien, its an instant win for SEGA and for the Alien brand and for Us

Maybe it's the same Alien from the first film. Perhaps it floated around in space for a while before getting discovered.
When asked directly, CA have said that "no, this Alien is bigger than the original". And, you can see in the preview footage, the thing is a good eight feet tall. Presumably, they'll have a reason for the mass increase.
It seems kind of odd that they'd make the Xenomorph so tall if they're going for complete authenticity.

Did they ever say they were going for authenticity? I've only read about the sets and atmosphere stuff. Honestly I don't mind the design change. The Runner legs do sort of add something to it. I replayed a part in the gameplay video before the player goes for the airlock door, the way the alien picks up that leg, turns, it just seemed to fit. A while back a friend who studied art said the only good thing about Resurrection was the emphasis on the legs of the alien, something about lines (adverse? some A word he used) that fit in with the rest of the alien horizontal lines (the head, the struts on the back, ect).
If they had kept the original legs, I could imagine alot of people being disillusioned, like a man in the costume feeling sort of thing. In the original movie, we almost never saw the legs in action, and little attention was ever drawn to them, I always thought that was because it would really look too costume like.
The only thing really missing from the alien design in this game: The Saliva.
That's driving me crazy.

As Xhan's pointed out, they're having it roar and growl, like in 2010's offering. Don't look for a totally super-authentic feel.
I do like the visual style, as a whole, but that's the one part of the videos which have bugged me. These things aren't dinosaurs. Glad to see they aren't having it go on all fours for most of the time, however.

I'm actually interested enough in this game now that I'm not going to watch any more footage. I'm still going to wait for some post-release reviews before I consider buying it, but if I do get this I want the contents to be a surprise.

this Alien was born out of an Engineer. :P hence the design differences...
that's probably what they are gonna use to justify it.
I'd imagine we are also gonna see it run on all fours like the dog alien... but rarely... rest of the game he'll stalk you patiently as a biped.

I would have preferred the Alien to make this pervert noise and look when it catches you instead of growling.
I don't remember it was quite in a hurry in ALIEN to kill but instead it took his time (and I think it's good it doesn't kill you at the moment it sees you) but dat growl thing looked stupid ::)
They could have made his lips open very slowly as a "sexual" manner before biting you instead.
Or even have cinematic where Amanda tries to fight while the Alien enjoys it in a "rape" way.

I think my biggest nitpick so far is that death or capture animation. It's a little too AVP2010 in that it seems they've got a bit too caught up in how great the animations look.
I'd almost say fade out to black and use audio instead of scripted death animations.

I agree with you, or show a very slow death (that ain't that brutal ala AVP2010) which could give (randomly rather than QTE and very very rare) a possibility to escapes.
That way you would have a so huge amount of adrenaline knowing you must run as fast as possible since the thing is one inch behind you and looking back at it would sign your death.
But fade to black with sound or just with images popping up while you ear things would be much better than a stupid growling animation.

Shit, man, my heart was racin' just watching that.
Love the art direction I've seen so far. Everything looks very Ron Cobb and Alien, but with a few bits of Aliens thrown in. Particularly like that the motion tracker looks like an intermediary between what was in the first film and in the second.

This looks promising so far. I just hope isn't quite as unforgiving as it looks. A lot of old horror games fell into the trap of confusing frustration with fear. That sort of thing really bugs me (ba-dum, tish). Otherwise, I love the atmosphere and design work, and the concept is killer. It boggles the mind that this wasn't thought of sooner.
Yeah, I honestly didn't even notice the growling. The atmosphere is that good.

I just read in an article that the alien will have different "growls" depending on whether or not it's detecting you, lost your scent, etc...and that the player will learn to recognize these by the end and use it to their advantage.
Hopefully it will not be too obvious, and it could still be creepy if they use noises like that weird jittering (?) noise that plays every time the alien showed up in the original film (and it wasn't used in any of the sequels).

I personally don't think there's any problem with using growls from other sources, just using Alien wouldn't give much variety. I'm fairly certain I heard the screech from when Dallas sees the alien in the vents too, that'll be terrifying in-game.

We're still a ways from release. Things will be changed. Maybe the growling was just placeholder.
If not, it's a small thing overall.
No, no it isn't.
When the the star of the show has literal place holder stings from avp2010 and the incorrect pairing of two of the original sounds mixed incorrectly and atonally, it is annoying.
When the developer in question has literal access to RAW analogs of the six signature sounds in 8 channel stereo, and does not use them, it is annoying.
When the cartoonish sound cues become shorthand for "do rote actions and win", it is not enabling telegraphy, it is assuming the player is an idiot, especially the light of games like Dark Souls and Revengeance that clearly show that visual body language cues are more than enough for players to learn, and additionally cause furtherance of gameplay immersion and play-space deepening by forcing the player to risk visual contact with the Alien in order to get a bearing on counter-stalking instead simply cheating by listening for the ruh-roh raggy space dog barks.
Someday, some day far in the future SEGA and its compatriots will learn not to treat its customers like they are slack jawed idiots. Some day SEGA will understand replay value for licensed products is gleaned from immersion and verisimilitude and indelibly burned sense-memory.
"Do we have the Giger modeling?"
"Yup, even made the dome double sided unculled polies with extra refractive materials with its own shader that uses 55% of the gpu's bandwidth so you can see the skull 24/7 even if you turn your brightness all the way down, even though it's only seen in the movie for three frames."
"Got the Cobb ships?"
"yup, went out and spent all of SEGA's milestone on aircraft parts and surplus hospital generators so we can put a bunch of stuff by each of the level designers desks."
"Got the Foss shuttles?"
"Yup, spent the monthly bonus getting Foss to Foss up all the shuttles and motion tracker himself."
"Got Alien sounds?"
"Well we had the analog masters, but I had a flash of genius and got my dog to bark at a picture of a cat for two hours, I just dropped it two octaves and added some flange and threw in the AvP2010 space doberman noises on the rear channel stream, it'll be fine."
"Brilliant, send it to cert."

That was stated anywhere when?
It's a symptom. Like the dome, a very glaring one, especially with deliberate marketing callbacks to earlier SEGA products.
The Alien should sound Alien, not like a slobbery dog. If it sounds like an animal, it's diminished in threat, the last two games have pretty much shown that definitively.

We know who the writer is.Quote from: pcgamer.com previewCreative Assembly have tapped veteran comic book writer Dan Abnett for the story, who you may know from the Warhammer 40,000 novels or his work for Marvel.
Dan Abnett.

Abnett's done more to flesh out the 40k universe than anything since Rogue Trader. Action's his forte obviously, but there's an incredible wealth of imagination there, with good grasp of characters and strong senses of pacing and suspense. It's in good hands.

I remember being told that the the early script took you from a futuristic San Francisco, to Phobos and to various planets where WY was salvaging Derelict ships and tech. Also that Gibson's script was utilized at some point in the beginning, you fought both WY and UPP. You can see some traces of this in the Alien: Infestation game.
Every time they updated the story it was a major change. IIRC the Sephora with the new batch of Marines finding the Sulaco adrift in space was the only consistent element.

Amazing we are getting this game after A:CM, was afraid there won't be any Alien related games released for years after last years failure.
But im also annoyed by the unfitting growls, hopefully developers will remove these. Hated the alien sounds in AVP2010.
They should implement those creepy alien breathing sounds from the movies.

Interesting, thanks. Sounds more interesting than what we got, that's for sure. I'm guessing it was just too big in scope for what GBX could do. That or they just wanted to bring it back to LV-426.

Why do they keep saying they're ignoring everything not in the original movie when they've got you running around as Amanda using the same type of blowtorches seen in Aliens ... ?
The game looks good. I agree about wishing the thing actually sounded like the original Alien instead of growling, but it's not a deal breaker.

He's supposed to show up in when the script tells it to show up. After that, he'll be roaming around.
For instance, let's say that after the Alien is scripted to come through a door, you try and evade it. While in this location you need to get from point A to B to C. That's when the dynamic aspect comes through - the alien won't be in the same location every time in between A through C on different playthrouhs, even if you die and restart the checkpoint and whatnot.

I see what you're saying, and frankly, now that you've pointed it out, it is kind of disappointing.
I think you just robbed the magic of this game.
Enter corridor-Alien appears-Find exit.
Over and over and over again....
Rinse and Repeat.
Might as well be that indie game Knock Knock....
Yeah, unless they took that into account, I may have just lost a lot of interest in the game.

Yep, but its a must to avoid the "event x always trigger the alien" loop, becouse it totally destroy the replay value of the game. Offcourse the Alien should be triggered somehow, but not in the same way everytime. I dont wanna be Bill Murray in Groundhog Day in Sevastopol saying things like "3...2...1...and now...the alien falls from the ceiling and scream, better to find a place to hide"

That's not at all what's happening here. There WILL be replay value. The Alien HAS to show up during certain places in order for you to play the game. It's like starting a whole new level order, the same sequence is going to have to repeat in order for you to get to the meat of it. Each time it will be different anyway. You're not going to get people talking about how they died in the same place because the Alien was supposed to be there, because's that's not at all what's happening here.

I remain unconvinced that any of these gameplay videos are genuine, until we actually see over the shoulder footage or Let's Plays. Experience with two of Sega's biggest releases last year has me highly sceptical, and they've certainly started the media campaign early (youtube is covered with trailers, and yet we're probably 9 months from release) with all the right signals.

Probably you will go through decors where you can do certain things or choose certain escapes and the alien pops up and you get a sort of level boss fight everytime, and you can escape or choose to fight different ways, like for instance blow it out of the airlock or let the room full of gas.
I dont think its going to be insanely big, but like always im curious to the story. but then again im already dissapointed that its again a Ripley thing. There are other people and families out there.

you are overreacting this "script thing", take a f***n old game RE3, Nemesis showed up in specifical time! Yet i got goosbumps when i reached those points in the game AND after thet he would follow you through the next loading screen if he wanted too. RE3 is a more simplier way to put this style, yet works very well.

Only Nemesis during 12 hours...mmm, wont work
Anyway, its easy to fix...just randomize the events whitch trigger the Alien, and more important, dont let the player know if the Alien its triggered or not.

Well I hear Sonic: Lost World sucks. Since it's Sega, they can find ways to make the game worst. They put ACM on hold back in 2008 or 2009, so they might do the same.

They (CA) shouldnt let us know if the Alien is "activated" or not...that will keep you watching your back everytime. Otherwise it will be like a Freddy Krueger film: "Hey Amanda...its hunt time! where are youuu"
The Alien must be like a God...it can be everywhere, anytime...If you make a scripted event every time it shows up it wont be Alien Isolation "the game", but Alien Isolation "the movie"

That was years ago though. Developers have to reinvent in order to stay ahead. There are dozens of games with scripted events that were fun, we're just saying it's probably time to take a few steps away from that. I'm not suggesting that the alien should never be scripted, just that we've been there and done that and that's what people are going to come to expect on their second play through. It's something I'm getting wore out on.
With what we know about the alien AI thus far, no patrol paths and that gorgeous animation, the only thing they could possibly have that would increase it's ability to scare would be unscripted events. Random encounters. That sort of thing. If you only have one alien, why not maximize it?

- absolute nerdy costumer
or just relax and have a fine few hours with a cool horror game, do you think Outlast isnt scripted? heck yes, but its a damn good and scary game and as you know jump scares are not the most important thing in a horror game, if you go after that you should buy the new Slender game, it isnt repetative Slender pops up very different places, no scritps for ya guys! or just think outside the box please and wait for the retail game and see if its how much scripted for you...

I guess you could do worse than Space Amnesia. Like Space COD.
I do hope avoiding the Alien involves more than hiding in a closet, though. Just hiding behind shit to avoid detection by an Alien feels all sorts of weird and could get kinda predictable and boring after awhile. The different traps and weapons could add that variety. We'll see.
Still, the Alien looks badass in that pic. Minus points for Alien dog growls - decline of Alien sound effects. I'll take SKREEE. I don't ask for much.
A pity there's no multiplayer. I could have easily seen something like that recently announced Evolve game with a few lightly armed dudes trying to survive a single Alien. Hopefully we get something to create new maps and the like... Could get boring without 'em.
They've got my attention. Trailer successful.

I just hope they keep the unpredictability of the Alien from the first movie intact. Sometimes it would kill, and quickly. Others, it seemed curious with other things, ignoring Ripley & co.
I think it'd be really eerie to have the Alien slowly observing other things, or curled up and immobile, as you quickly go the other way and GTFO.

There was an article I read where the journalist was trying to break though a door and then heard the Alien coming. This person managed to hide in a nearby locker and waited for the danger to pass. The alien got close to the locker and after a little while it left. Thinking that it was safe and making sure it wasn't nearby, they went back to the door. On the way there the journalist said they heard footsteps all of a sudden, the Alien was right behind, and before they could even turn around - BOOM, dead.

That Alien model/skin is beautifully detailed, and I don't care what the explanation is, I love that it's so huge.
I do hope the finished product will be considerably more gooey and dribbly, though. And in my opinion, even the first set of teeth shouldn't come out from behind the lips until it's closing in on prey. Think of it as a huge black uncircumcised penis from hell and you can't go wrong.

Nah, 9/10, story wise, it'll include one of the teammates being an android much similar to ash in the first film. If this is the case, it kinda takes authenticity away from the game truly being canon, no matter how relateable to the source material it is. I mean c'mon, both mother and daughter being attacked by a WY android that just happened to be there for the sole purpose of retrieving the alien?

Those characters from WY just go to the station owned by the other company because it may lead to info on Ellen Ripley's dissapearance.

I like the idea of multiple corporations too - I always imagined Weyland-Yutani as one of several companies that controlled the space trade. Like in Ron Cobb's concept art there were references to one of the crew member's former employers called Farside Lunar mining or something. I hope there's references to that or the Third World Empire/United Americas in this game!
However I must admit it kind of annoys me that Sevastopol space station belongs to Seegson. Yeah, I've heard in the news articles that Seegson corporation is a wannabe Weyland-Yutani. But why would the architecture and design of the station be identical to Weyland-Yutani's Nostromo interior? That's like downright sue-able plagiarism. And the game is basically saying you're not really walking through a Weyland Yutani spacecraft, it's actually a knockoff by some other company you never heard of. Maybe we're meant to assume a third party manufactures all the ships and space stations? Ehhh....

But why would the architecture and design of the station be identical to Weyland-Yutani's Nostromo interior? That's like downright sue-able plagiarism. And the game is basically saying you're not really walking through a Weyland Yutani spacecraft, it's actually a knockoff by some other company you never heard of. Maybe we're meant to assume a third party manufactures all the ships and space stations? Ehhh....Quote from: SpaceMarines on Jan 13, 2014, 04:36:07 PM
Isn't the main company in this game someone other than Wey-Yu, though?
Which, by the way, I'm very happy with. There's other corporations in the Alien universe. I'm glad someone's finally been able to grasp that concept.
Yeah it's Seegson corp. I guess one of WY primary competitors.
I too like the idea of conflicting organizations.
The spaceship manufacturers of the future would be the car manufacturers of today.
I suppose that does make sense.
I just feel like the Nostromo being a product of Weyland-Yutani, and not some third party manufacturer, works well enough. The Nostromo has many Egyptian (the rounded corners or tan ridges) and Japanese elements (the space suits, most prevalently), which goes right in hand with the Weyland-Yutani winged sun logo or its Japanese heritage.
I guess they wanted another corp from the beginning and if they changed up the architecture we'd all be complaining about not getting to see a truly ALIEN inspired set. I'll probably get used to the strangeness of Seegson owning Sevastopol.

This is a good thing.

Ron Cobb's sketches list companies for various parts of the ship (Engines, for example), but I can't remember what companies. I think the engines are Yutani.

Uh, well no one is saying that now, since I agree with Nightlord on the situation. My point was about Weyland-Yutani and the Nostromo's shared Egyptian aesthetic.
Also, we do know that at some point Weyland-Yutani builds spaceship parts too, since their logo is on the Sulaco's flight recorder.

I feel like I ought to bring this up, as it's been worrying me as of the past day.
All they've been talking about lately is "attention to authentic detail" and "we've got an intelligent alien that you'll hide from". Just hearing those words has raised my skepticism back up. What about level design and the players ability to interact with stuff? Will the player have to fiddle with things to find out backstory, progress through the level and interact with characters? Will there even be a sense of wanting to interact with characters, more importantly. Will they just exist to deliver exposition? Anybody remember Penumbra: Black Plague and Amnesia? Those games had the whole "hide from monster" and an authentic spooky castle looking environment but they also had a sense of urgency to progress. Amnesia had the "find out about your backstory by solving these puzzles and shit! Better hurry cause this shadow's gonna kill you" and in Penumbra it's like "you better find out about yo fadda' so that you can get Harlan Ellison to stop talking in your head!".
I've heard it said that "I hope this isn't an Amnesia clone". Well, naturally, but it does need a lot of those elements. That formula of progression (not identical, being a space station) would really work with this game. That and the Oculus Rift could be what makes or breaks this game. Authenticity and hiding from the beasty certainly won't be the things that make this game great.

There's nothing to suggest Weyland-Yutani built the Nostromo. In fact, Ash, the one mission-critical piece of hardware which was installed on the ship before it travelled derelict-wards, was built by Hyperdyne Systems, not Weyland-Yutani.
To this day, we haven't had any indication as to whether the Bishop synthetics were made by Weyland-Yutani, either. Just assumptions. Unless you feel the AVP films are definitely canonical, of course (some do, some don't).
Same goes for the colony. Burke points out WY build the atmosphere processors, but says nothing about the rest of the place.

But yeah you're right, the it's in actuality part of Ron Cobb's elaborate semiotic standard. It means "hazard" or "warning". So far Alien: Isolation is making great use many of these logos, not just the infamous grid one. Which is great!

After the horrid debacle that was A:CM, I promised myself I wouldn't get suckered into another Alien game, but damn it all if I'm not absolutely loving what I'm seeing and hearing about Isolation. CA just might pull it off and give us the proper Alien experience we've been wanting for so many years. A game worthy of the license and something that could restore the Alien to it's former glory.
I don't understand some of the remarks about the Alien's size, though. It *finally* looks spot on. They were always suppose to be 8 feet tall, and 8 feet tall is 8 feet tall. That's pretty damn big. Aliens in previous games were always reduced to human size and it was a major disservice. That's been going on for many years and I think players have just gotten used to seeing them smaller than they're suppose to be.
Anyway, the only two peeves I have are that the growling sfx is not appropriate for the Alien, and it should look like it's covered in slime. Other than that, the model is freak'n amazing.

QuoteJust hearing those words has raised my skepticism back up.
Well you really can't fault the design seen and the level of authenticity, and how much the lighting model complements and compliments that. It looks amazing. The interaction animations are also naturalistic and while a little abrupt, they convey well regardless. Audio is great. Then you get frankenstein aliens that barks at people, and the immersion immediately goes from "playing the movie, just like the nice marketing people promised" to "sega's third offering featuring frankestein aliens that's hopefully not as bad as the last".
Kind of a mixed bag.

Yeah I was able to Google the voice actor for Samuels (forgot how I found the cast list though) and the actual man looked identical to the render we've been given so far.
That makes me wonder who's doing to voice for Amanda Ripley!

Laser-scanning a face can just lead to a texture, though. They've actually incorporated a lot of the data directly into the sculpt, there.

I actually really like the legs. I always thought the legs were the bit that spoiled the creature in the first film - when you finally see them at the end of the movie, it's blatantly just a bloke in a suit. I prefer the more "alien" digitigrade style. They look especially great in that image, where its stooping to get under the door.

QuoteJust hearing those words has raised my skepticism back up.
Well you really can't fault the design seen and the level of authenticity, and how much the lighting model complements and compliments that. It looks amazing. The interaction animations are also naturalistic and while a little abrupt, they convey well regardless. Audio is great. Then you get frankenstein aliens that barks at people, and the immersion immediately goes from "playing the movie, just like the nice marketing people promised" to "sega's third offering featuring frankestein aliens that's hopefully not as bad as the last".
Kind of a mixed bag.
I wasn't really referring to that necessarily. More about my concern that the design of the environment/light might be the only thing that they get right and good and the rest of the game (I'm talking about gameplay design and progression)will get stale and lackluster. Probably due to them being too obsessed with getting the detail right. A Machine for Pigs had the problem of lacking any sense of urgency and sense of interacting and belonging with the environment. What will they be able to do to make the player want to progress, is what I mean.

I like the look of the creature, so far. And I've always preferred the tri-jointed legs in the comics, as it makes them seem less human and more predatory.
These ones do look a little bendy, though...

Well if the station is all busted up and decaying, the Alien recognizes your genes and hates your guts and WY people are kind of annoyed that a rival company with similar interests has their what contains a reason to invoke #937 and go in to to revenuer the place, and throw in the android that you think is a traitor and isn't and friend you think is a friend and isn't, that probably enough.

Don't. It's a new team for the most part, my impression from a recent preview was that only two of the 100-odd main team are existing Creative Assembly members. The rest have either been poached from other developers or hired from dissolved teams (the THQ implosion, for example).
Sega's quality control is certainly a concern though, and it's wrought havoc with CA projects in the past.

Thankfully it doesn't, but I am just as susceptible to hype as any other fan of the series. When we first heard about GBX developing for A:CM it seemed like a match made in heaven, and after all of their promises and build up that wasn't the case. I'm just trying to keep my expectations realistic. It's one thing for developers to go on camera and make all these statements or show a 40 minute vertical slice of a game where everything is polished. It's something totally different to deliver on those promises and maintain that level of polish for 12 hours.
That said, I'm very excited for this game, and have very few qualms with what they've shown so far, and hope that will be case when they reveal more of the game.

This is a forum where fans of the Alien and Predator franchises discuss media and thus critique will happen, along with nitpicking. Comes with any franchise. And when you haven't had a decent game (okay AVP3 wasn't horrible) for the good part of 12 years (and an Alien-only based game at that)worries and doubts are warranted.

Even with the latest radiosity updates UDK isn't up to the same level of AO and subsurface, especially the subsurface scattering.
Looks better than most japanese pre-renders, much less anything Unreal has done with the stock offering.

@Xhan:
Well problem with AO in Video game is that it ain't AO.
You had other subsurface in mind? ;D
There's nothing an engine isn't capable of btw, you just need to code it.

Sure, the issue of course is leverage-per-cycle versus all the other fancy crap you want in your draw calls, and frankly it's their restraint on the chromatic aberration and the "cinematic accuracy" of the subsurface scattering that's impressive, except of course in highlighting the dome, and then of course the level of quality you'll get in real time on an actual system in the actual game versus their fancy commercial.
Check the luminance on Amanda's skin at the airlock versus the Alien's. That's pretty goddamn impressive. (Minus the overlyglowy cowl-skull at 4:35l, but you had to expect that would be coming, as ridiculous as it is, some people just can't resist overemphasizing what should be subtle)
Usually it looks dithery as hell, or simply blankets everything in a lit space like someone made a universe out of refractive shadowy jello (Warframe and most stock shader Unreal games are really notorious for this, and yeah A:CM was certainly a prime offender, apparently subtle silverization = EVERYTHING IS UNDERWATER, even in direct illumination and "sunlight", and if you turn it off the diffuse maps literally turn an almost completely different color, like the Aliens being pretty much blue-green, -_-)

Big Chap has been Big Chap for thirty years, I'm not giving him a sex change for Great Tumblr Justice, and frankly whether the protagonist (or anyone else) has a gender vector seems rather pointless against an omnisexual being who isn't terribly picky about which set of chromosomes you have, as long as you have them.

The author seems disheartened the game makers aren't trying to make a point with having their character be female. Personally I'm glad. If people would stop thinking a point has to be made every time a lead character in a genre story is female, we'd have more, and better written, female leads.

I remember when I was an average fan and barely could tell the difference between any of the designs. The skull on the original one was something I noticed back then. I think it was because how noticeable it's in some of the most spread merchandise.

lol, in the airlock sequence it's literally glowing for a couple seconds before Amanda hits the purge button, how in the hell would anybody miss it. 4:35 in the no commentary video it literally glows, and you don't have to pause the video to catch it.
QuoteYeah, we have to remember that we're the minority here. There's a vast majority of casual fans who wouldn't know that or actually think to compare the differences in design.
More like two levels over. A casual fan has been battered by it for thirty years of ridiculous overemphasis, a "general person" looking for a horror or tension game wouldn't have bothered to begin with, same for someone who only watched the movies. It is literally visible in only ONE sequence for three frames. That's the briefest glimpse imaginable.
Basically the same thing between a fan going "Man, they got the green pulse rifles, hell yeah" and someone saying "Hey, brown bess #158, hell yeah". One of them is right and one of them is wrong, but guess who get way more upvotes on a social site for his answer.
The GIS image you always see is a blocking shot with a direct 300 watt lamp on it, before Giger finished airbrushing what you'd see towards the end. The GIS first results stuff also isn't graded film, it's standard pub shots.
Not only that but they deliberately made a money/bullshot out of it, complete with chromatic grading and now-standard rescaling "antialiasing" to pretty handily say "look what we did". Well that's great, but you're gonna be anal about that then why do we have dino legs with the elbow spike transplanted on them, a longer tail, and super Quint-chomping mouth with highlighted tendons, most of which which are apparently SEGA-standard design motifs.
Maybe they just wanna demarcate their stuff, but it's kinda odd you get similar designs across varied representations.
In any case the animations are set, and that ship has most certainly sailed, logistically speaking.

Quote from: XBOX Achievements InterviewA handful of guys, put together a little demo, which took about four weeks to make and another couple of weeks to polish, which was kind of a tech demo and mood piece, where we tried to explore what it would be like to walk around the environment, the medical lab.
Quote from: AvPGalaxy, March 2013Sources close to the studio have revealed to us that a demo of an early prototype was based around recreating the feel of the medical bay aboard the Nostromo and lasted for about a minute.http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2013/03/02/first-look-at-creative-assemblys-alien-game/

QuoteAnother key element to increase immersion is the use of distinct sounds from the alien to display certain behaviours. A large roar will signal an imminent attack, while an alert sound will communicate to the player their footsteps are being heard.
"It is this sort of telegraphing and reaction to the player that has been core to the alien design. With no HUD or prompts telling you if he has seen you, it all has to be in world and from the creature itself," explains Hope.
or, ya know, you could be subtle and let the player come to learn based on behavioral changes based in the animation set and AI state machine itself whats's going on instead of holding their hand all the way through with giant telegraph pantomimes.
But ya gotta make those first day sales, so you can get those QE reports all in a row, and get all the hype from youtubes from people already exploiting the AI to drive up Q index so your marketing looks like they actually earned their money, which is likely more than the actual devs got payed.
I mean saturation and social-marketing worked out so well for the other two titles, right?
right?

You might be over reacting a little, since they meant behavioral audio cues, not pop up prompts. And another article mentioned the Alien doing different movements and having different body postures as well, so your visual cues are there as well. Then again, if you can see the enemy, the enemy can see you, so visual cues are rather dangerous to rely on...

Seeing as I've already worked out three different telegraphed behavior modes from the teaser trailer, I doubt it.

That gameplay clip didn't really convince me. For one, the character breathing seems like it'll get really annoying, it's kinda like having someone shout to you like OH SHIT YOU SPOOKED AS f**k NOW and outlining that you should be scared. Also the bit at the end, where she just ran past the alien behind its back. Very silly, not a very formidable threat is it. And it just looked very muddled with scripted sequences which just take me out of the game

Watching the gameplay, I really don't see why they needed to change the legs based on appearance. The players all seem to do their best to not look at the thing, seeing as if you can see it, presumably it can see you. The few times you do see it really moving, it doesn't seem to be doing anything that wouldn't look right on human legs.
Still, looks tense.

After looking on a gameplay video where someone from IGN is speaking with developers it seems to be a purpose made video: IGN reporter know what he can take in the video and never get lost and isnt like: OMG I saw that in the movie, I wanna go closer and take a look on it, but nope the game just walks on and he knows what to do when the alien pops up, no that is to me a fake video, you dont fool me that easily.

Right, that too, you see that a lot in previews where it looks really rehearsed. Like they'll slowly pan the camera across a scenery or something, no one plays like that. But I mean that's to be expected I guess, they only want you to see what they want you to see right.
And I gotta agree about the legs, I'm still hung up about that. I just, like, don't get it, man. I won't be convinced until I see a side by side comparison

It's when you pay a small amount of money (micropayment) in exchange of some game goodies. Usually stuff that helps you with the game or helps you unlock stuff early. Points, gold, experience, etc...

Oh, I hate that crap! Gimicks to make more money. I wouldn't expect this game to have ever done that. Now create a DLC later on for a charge, yes they should do that.

Our children will laugh when we tell them we could unlock costumes in vidja games, and we'll cry in despair as we see them take 20 dollars off of our wallet just to be able to choose a different color for their character's pants.

Yup. Underdeveloped, incomplete or bug-ridden launches are as old as gaming itself. Remember ET? KOTOR2? Hidden & Dangerous? At least we usually get patches for the bare basics now.

The way they keep talking about choices makes me think the game may be part RPG.

From the Facebook page:
It may have been quiet on the Alien: Isolation home front recently but that's all changing next week - prepare for some big news. Want a clue? Well, we've always thought 3 was a magic number...
A new trailer? ???
