It wasn't even that the crew was ill-prepared. They had freakin' laser guns, which according to the Ridleygrams, would have been able to damage the alien.

The problem for the crew was solely that the Alien had acid for blood. It forced them to take on a very dangerous game of flushing the creature to the airlock.

The unstoppable menace thing is one element people really need to let go. The Alien was never, ever, intended to be regarded as "unstoppable" outside of the fact that shooting it would have killed the crew via decompression.

However, denying that Aliens didn't trigger an outlook change on the Alien is also false. People misinterpret the "bug" stuff in Aliens as anything but a foil. The comics were horrendous about this. The Aliens in Aliens were much closer to an oncoming storm. They attack en masse, and in huge waves that utterly destroy their target. They will over come whatever you throw at them, they will bypass your barriers. They will cut the power. Firepower doesn't help you, because there are more aliens than you can ever hope to shoot. You are outmatched, and help isn't coming.

Aliens is still a very tense movie. The fact that people took the macho aspects and ran with them instead of understanding what was truly going on in the film, is not Aliens' fault. Every firefight is a desperate fight for survival. The aliens are definitely not "just bugs."

Either way i'm glad that they're going back to basics and making a genuine horror game. It's long overdue.   :)

Well said!

So that isn't strong evidence of alien telepathy?

QuoteThe Queen could see Newt because you could see somewhat through the grills.

That and the Queen saw where she went.

I watched newer gameplay.

The Queen could see Newt because you could see somewhat through the grills. In the new gameplay I watched the player was under the floor and you can see up through the grill to see the alien that could see down through the floor and the alien went into speed mode into the vents, at first it seemed the alien was gone, but then the player got got as the alien found it's way under the floor knowing exactly where the player was.

I don't think it's any l33t skillz to be able to see through a grill.

The queen seemed quite capable of tracking Newt's movements.

You can hide from a perfect organism?

Newt managed to hide from them.

I think that it's impossible to hide from ALIEN, because he has much better sensors than human eyes.

However, "Alien: Isolation" is only a game. Entertainment.
My "Ripley Edition" is on the way ;)

well for one it would be different and better because for once you have to survive and hide instead of going around shooting aliens,facehuuggers,etc. That's really cool though the only aliens game I can recall close to this is the one level in colonial marines "the Raven" where you have to avoid those boiler aliens. This would probably attract more people to it as long as it doesn't pull one of those it looks like a awesome game and turns out to be crap. But the screenshots and trailer make it look good.

The gun also acts as an usable item, you have to draw it first. They've said that is to prevent the game from having an FPS feeling.

I doubt it'll do more than piss it off or drive it away for a short amount of time.

There's a pistol in the game already. You can try to shoot the bastard already. You'll likely get your face torn off and shown to you for your trouble, though.  ;D

Wonder if gun fire hurts/damages the alien?
