They most likely jumped the gun on this. Professional journalism.

Quote from: VG24The much-anticipated release date of Creative Assembly's upcoming horror title set in the Alien universe, Alien: Isolation, will be revealed at the end of a developer session taking place at EGX Rezzed this Saturday.

The publisher confirmed the information in an email to VG247.

The developer session in question takes place on Saturday at 3pm and it'll feature Al Hope, Gary Napper, Jon McKellan from The Creative Assembly to talk about the game.

We'll be the first to bring you the release date once it's announced, and you can also watch the whole thing live on Twitch. You can also head here for the full schedule of the show.

Finally got my hands on it this afternoon. I just can't get over how A-Grade this game is.

There's a little cut sequence for the Alien's reveal, and it stands aside the Jonesy/Brett sequence in the original as the best thing ever. Never enthusiastically grinned with delight so hard before whilst also shitting myself.

It's little wander Creative Assembly feel so confident to preview it hands on to the public 6 months in advance of release; they're clearly on to a winner.

BTW, I played through the PS4 and Xb1 versions, and the PS4 version is far superior (somehow)

Awesome to hear! Can you be a bit more specific about how the ps4 version is better than xb1?


Did anyone compare ps4 and PC btw?

Of course, and my mate wholeheartedly agreed; The XB1 version's frame rate stuttered in comparison to the PS4's ultra smoothness, and it was also noticeably more grainy and lower resolution. It was also an effort keeping the motion tracker up because of the right shoulder bumper on the XB1 pad, it feels like it's designed for a quick click not to be held down effortlessly.

I've not got anything new to add unfortunately. I don't see us really getting terribly much before release, because they don't seem to want to spoil anything.

Thanks for the info! It'd be interesting to see how the PC version is compared to ps4.

Not sure how to feel about your reviews, considering that one site ragged on their experience with the game. Maybe they were too harsh.

Expectations are so low for this game, IMO, that they should be able to achieve a 7-8 out of 10 if they try.

6 months to make any changes and enhancements. Is that enough time?

If they haven't got their stuff together after 3 years even another 12 months wouldn't help much.

True. Interesting that all those people liked it and that one website thrashed it.

Hope this is a good game. If not, SEGA gives up the license and a real publisher buys it, then gives it to a real developer.

Was the PC platform present? Or only the console ones? I'm thinking of getting a PS4 for various games, and am wondering if I should pick up a copy of AI for the PC or PS4 first, then getting the other later on discount. I like experiencing both gaming worlds as the analog immersion is different using different input devices.

So some thoughts following Thursday. Easily the best of the booths I saw in terms of queuing time. Folk were limited to 10 minute plays and the queue just kept moving. So kudos to Sega/Creative Assembly on that.

The very nature of Survivor mode is completely different to the main single player. The whole idea to be fast and not take your time. And  given that speed based nature of the mode and the demo, there wasn't really time to fully explore and experience the map at hand.

That said, it was still an intense experience and time slowed down as that Alien slithered down from the vent to block me and slow my time down. I had to have 5 goes before I was able to complete the demo and each play through was completely different which I really liked. It was just a case of learning the map and out-doing the Alien.

had a chance to play this in earls court last friday at the convention.

Gotta say i was impressed with what i saw. It was tense and atmospheric and really made me feel like i was there in the nostromo in the closing minutes of ALien.

have to admit though that after being killed about 5 times, i spent the next few minutes hiding in the locker. When the ALien stood outside and i forgot to pull the trigger to hold my breathe it actually made me feel more tense then any other game i have played in recent memory.

the feeling of being so helplessly out matched is where this game triumphs.
I wonder how the main game compares to this survial mode.
overall, it was the game i was most imprressed with at the show.
