QuoteThe Art of ALIEN: ISOLATION is a high-end art book featuring over 300 images from the latest game in the critically and commercially acclaimed Alien franchise. Taking players back to the survival horror atmosphere of the first film, ALIEN: ISOLATION features Amanda Ripley as the hero trying to survive on a decommissioned space station. The Art of ALIEN: ISOLATION is the ultimate gallery of the eagerly anticipated game, featuring extensive concept and development art, and creator and artist commentary throughout.

Thanks to space jockey for the link.

Pity the 'Sebastopol' is looking like a re-hash of whatever the Nostromo was towing...

Day One purchase, though...

176 pgs is a nice number. I feel like we're actually getting a respectable amount of material for $30

They both say hardcover. Same as the Forbidden Planet.

They are all hardcover but there's a limited edition that costs double.

Forbidden planet sells both: https://forbiddenplanet.com/121575-the-art-of-alien-isolation-hardcover/

I preordered the original release immediately, and see no reason to upgrade to this one.

Why pay the normal price when you can pay double for a different cover and an extra print signed by a dude no-one has ever heard of? You just don't make any sense Corporal!  :)

This games has some really impressive concept art. Some of that stuff looks like finished works! Love those pencil sketches of the Alien itself too. Must have.

Look at the full artbook:

Isn't that the free 'mini' artbook some countries are getting with the game and not the full book?
Title: Re: The Art of Alien Isolation
Post by: ikarop on Oct 04, 2014, 11:02:33 PM
I think so but the cover for both is the exact same and it hasn't been stated that they are different afaik. It's usually just an scaled down version of the same thing with these pre-order exclusives.

thats really tiny for an artbook

Post by: ikarop on Oct 05, 2014, 05:08:47 AM
Actually I just noticed it says something among the lines "The images from this book are extracted from The Art of Alien: Isolation, available at Titan Books".

Kinda weird since the mini book also says The Art of Alien Isolation on the cover but I guess it could be just a small extract indeed and not just an scaled down version.

I bought my copy a few days ago and loved it! I was a tad disappointed that the introduction mentioned that it's only a "small portion" of the artwork and concept art from the CA studio. That being said, an artbook with over 300 pages is still a fantastic read.

In my opinion, It should've included more concept art for the characters.
