I love the passion here, but to me, this all feels rooted from a deep love for Alien Isolation and deep disappointment that we didn't get an Alien Isolation 2. But I do get that.
I would've loved a more action oriented but in the same spirit of Alien Isolation, e.g the same spirit as the first two movies. Alien Isolation with a handful of Colonial Marines with limited ammo and resources against a bunch of aliens, yes please. It's slow paced, atmospheric and up close and personal. It didn't have to be Isolation 2. What it would offer is open exploration and that roller coaster ride of highs and lows that the movies offer. Not a constant onslaught of action.
QuoteBut reality is people like all different types of games, and as an owner of Isolation and someone who liked the game, at least for me, I for one would get tired of Alien games emulating this one type of gameplay in perpetuity.
But..it's an Aliens game? It's supposed to be about survival, it's supposed to be scary, thrilling, dark and claustrophobic. It's supposed to have an intelligent enemy that is extremely hard to kill that will instantly kill you or worse if it gets it hands on you. Alien doesn't fit in zombie horde mode shooter. As soon as the first alien gets close to you it's over. It's not supposed to be a harmless bug that slaps you a bit to take a little HP off your character's life bar.
Have you guys even watched the 25 minute IGN gameplay video? Are you fine with a bunch of aliens just stroking around your legs like cats while you are being attacked by a heavy alien enemy or not doing anything while you are healing your friend? It's just random headless chicken madness with no sense of fear.
