Fantastic trailer. Looks gorgeous. Feel so happy to see all those good quotes.
In Space No One Can Hear You Scream. But they can hear the sound of the spaceship flying past.

SCIENCE!!?!
Does anybody else find it odd that (pre-judging from the reviews) the best game to date for this franchise is based Alien and NOT Aliens?
I find that incredibly strange and kind of sad, actually.

Well. it is possible that exhaust and expanding gasses from the passing ship cause the structure of Sevastopol to vibrate, creating sound...or something.

The only good ALIENS games were all crossovers sadly.

No.
I adore
Aliens, but I think it's obvious its action orientation lends itself to a more mainstream sort of game design than the original film - not that there's anything wrong with that. But I think that unfortunately, familiarity with those various shoot-em-ups and FPS over the last several decades has bred contempt and laziness among gamers and game designers. The aliens became bullet sponges and the stories and scares became crap. A lot of companies and execs decided all people wanted was to pew-pew the aliens and enjoy the iconography.
What I hope is that
Isolation - assuming it is a success - opens the door for more, varied and better games in the franchise of all different types, be they action shooters or RPGs a la that cancelled project a while back. I'd love to see an
Aliens RPG with multiple characters to control with their own little backstories, banding together, a la
Mass Effect, with a rich plotline.
Ooh, I liked that song at the end. Nice change from the fairly generic trailer BWOMs they had at the start.
So pumped. Finally, a true Alien game that does the franchise justice. Can't wait to pick this baby up tomorrow.
