SEGA has announced today that a new game mode for Alien: Isolation will be revealed at E3 this year.
Quote"Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Back to the core essence of Ridley Scott's haunted house in space – you play as Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, under-powered and under-prepared, fighting overwhelming odds simply to survive. With the station in lockdown and a vicious creature on the loose, getting around requires cunning tactics and stealth... and a great deal of courage. The Alien is here, in the shadows, in the vents and the walkways and the slightest noise will bring unwanted attention your way, and fast. With a small band of looters scavenging for supplies, that noise may be hard to avoid. SEGA and Creative Assembly will also be presenting an exciting new game mode, playable for the first time on the show floor. (Developed by Creative Assembly, out Oct 7, 2014, on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360).

I hope I'm off on the day of E3.
Can't wait, wonder if it will appear in either the Sony or Microsoft press conferences in some way.

I've got the night/following day booked off. Looking forward to it.
That's midnight for GMT people. I'm confused now....I thought it was Monday night for the presentations?
Finally, some news. This part of the forum has been DEAD.

That looks great!
Cautiously enthusiastic. I still remember the powerloader and alien warrior prop that A:CM used to hype the game. I wonder if they will have a updated version of the demo for gamers to try out, otherwise it will seem they are relying on a single piece of software to sell the game. I really hope otherwise.

So there will be a new demo...excellent! :D
The road to success has been paved by Gearbox. This game can be a 7 and get scores of 8-9, the gaming community WANTS this game to be good.
Creative Assembly, this is your chance to make something historic.
Do we know if it'll be on one of the presentations on Monday, Ikarop?
CA wants to keep everything E3 related a surprise so I wouldn't know. More info on A:I at E3 will be coming out by Monday.

Hope there's an option to turn off the crosshair, and wow that alien is fast the guy didn't even get a chance to try and shoot it.
I hope we eventually get to see something more interesting than these pointless vines.

I wonder what the new game mode is? lots of chances here do something interesting...
Some form of multiplayer/co-op somehow?
Well whatever it may be, I believe you have already seen it in the recent vine videos.
Ultimate Badass mode, for sure.

That would be so freaking awesome, playing as the alien going through the space station until amanda shows up, or a completely separate story.. i doubt it though..
Predators ;) - im guessing it'll be a team vs 1 alien and u need to survive for about 5 mins to win - u have no weapons, so its just hide and seek alien style.
I'm hoping for some form of narrative multiplayer co-op.
alien gameplay.
c'mahn.

I feel like if they make the alien playable, it will take the fear out of it completely. The one exception to this being of there is a vs hunt mode where there's a player as the alien and it hunts the human player down.
Will they be showing stuff tomorrow or the 12th? I need MORE. MOREEEEEE NOW.
Is it going to be a big enough title to get in on tonight's presentations?? I hope so but I don't know.

4:00 – 5:00 PM ET (1 – 2 PM PT)
Immediately following the EA briefing, Karl Magnus from DICE joins us to discuss the studio's announcements at the press conference. Oculus Rift founder Palmer Lucky drops by to discuss the latest on VR and world premieres a new VR demo for the first time anywhere. We also premiere a new demo for Dragon Age: Inquisition beyond what was shown in the press conference with BioWare's Aaryn Flynn. In addition, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg comes by to answer our questions, we get the first look at the Battlecry E3 demo from Bethesda, and don't miss a special surprise executive interview you definitely don't want to miss.
Considering the only mention of alien isolation is in the header, the VR demo might be for it.
Pulling hard for this game. I see the potential. It's CA's job to tap into this goldmine.

when are they going to do their presentation?
Alien isolation is coming on within the hour on gametrailers stream.
It just got mentioned for All Access Live which is happening at 4:00 – 5:00 PM ET (1 – 2 PM PT). Same link as above.
Edit: The demo is live now.
The game looks really good. I'm glad you can make the Alien back off with that makeshift flamethrower.
They just revealed that it was a timed challenge mode sort of thing. a bit disappointing, not quite sure if i understood it

It's a new mode in the game completely separate from the main game.
Just watched it, crap graphics on the xbox and Al Hope should have slowed down and told from the start that it was a new game mode they were showing so people don't think you run around with lots of hud and a flamethrower all the time.
Hmm, probably just going to things like get to this checkpoint in this amount of time. Which seems a bit lackluster
Some nice new footage - not the kind of game mode I would have liked but I think it'll be pretty damn challenging.
So, what was it exactly?
HD Video: http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/4uwpp5/alien--isolation-e3-2014--all-access-developer-walkthrough (http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/4uwpp5/alien--isolation-e3-2014--all-access-developer-walkthrough)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eNjaZA7DEo#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eNjaZA7DEo#ws)
i knew the flamethrower will come around as a weapon to make the alien back away. nice move CA
Looks good. Apologies if this has already been answered but have Creative Assembly confirmed whether there are to be resident evil-esque files or audio diaries present to help progress the story?
I mean if this is free-roaming then theoretically we could go a good 30-40 minutes without even coming across the alien, right? Unless its a series of contained checkpoint areas, which would be disappointing.
Everything I saw looked outstanding. Best looking Alien game so far. And I hoped for a flamethrower - f**king aye !!
so was that all of the coverage that the game is getting? i really hope there is more

It's looking great!
Truth be told, I was secretly hoping for a game mode set aboard the Nostromo, where you'd play as Ripley during the climax of the first film; having to set the auto-destruct sequence and then making your way to the shuttle before the time runs out (whilst avoiding the alien), only to have a final encounter in the shuttle. Never mind though, that was a long shot.
I've very little more to say (other than gushing praise) at this point but I'm British so I'll have a quick moan none the less; about how the air-ducts look too clean for my tastes (more like the ducts in Cameron's 'Aliens', than the ones from Ridley's 'Alien'). Considering that's the only (ridiculously minor and inconsequential) gripe I've got at this point, I'd say this game is looking very promising indeed.

That game mode doesn't seem like anything spectacular, I was really hoping for some information on the story, or a new trailer. I'm guessing that's all the coverage they'll get though, considering all the Call of Halo: Advanced Battlefield 5's that are being revealed. Hopefully some people can get some footage of the demos, or they'll tell us a bit more about the story.
I do like the flamethrower though, and the aliens reaction. I'm glad that's in there.

They've said there'll be a new trailer.
Was personally hoping for a multiplayer mode, but looks good nonetheless.

Call of Halo: Advanced Battlefield 5's
You win the internet sir.
One good thing I heard about Aliens:Isolation is that the levels aren't going to have just 1 exit but multiple exits and multiple ways where the alien could look for you and sometimes you would have to hold your breath to hide from the alien . I don't know if you can have any weapons though . :-X
im diggin it so far. looks like an oldschool survivor horror game so far. based on a RE, DC game where u have an invicible boss who always show up and u have to get away from time to time. and this survivor challenge mode or whatever is called its just like mercenaries :P

Those androids sure are freaky looking.
The previews seem very positive. Only thing that concerns me is the difficulty. It's gonna get frustrating if you keep dying in the same places over and over again. Still can't wait to play in that environment though. It's so detailed.
I wonder how frequent the human/android encounters are. The fact that the Andriods are hostiles makes me wonder, are they working to capture the alien? or to prevent it from creating other aliens (by eliminating the host)?
I wonder if the human A.I. will actively try not to make noise because of the alien as well...
Environments look great. The Alien looks amazing.
I still want a little more insight on the story (Why are the andriods hostile? Why are people working together to get rid of the alien instead of attacking you, How did the alien get on the station, ect, ect)

Why do you want to spoil the story for yourself?
Better too hard than too easy. Honestly games these days are far too forgiving. This sounds challenging for all the right reasons. I've heard in a couple of these previews that the checkpoint system saves at inopportune moments, putting you between the hammer and the anvil. Maybe being able to disable it altogether as an option would be nice?

love the look of the synthetics, they look freaky as hell. hope you cant rely on the flamethrower all the time
Jumped a few times watching the latest gameplay stuff, sometimes not even at jumpscares but with some sudden movements in the peripherals (like the little door mechanism where it opens). The atmosphere is looking perfect, even with the human enemies; the game seems to have some comparison to Bio/Systemshock in the combat, but with less lethal ability and, like Burial at Sea, a very low amount of ammo. Pretty unique blend of the two styles of horror games, I'd say. Love the way the flamethrower is used, essentially to buy some time while running away from the Alien, and the androids look genuinely creepy. Anybody else notice that one doing the Ash 'joint exercise' deal at the window? Great stuff.

Likely part of the plot, but this does raise one point for me. Has anyone said anything with regards to the origin of the big chap himself?
90% of the reviews said that the Alien can attack from anywere...but the nerd reactor one said you can predict it when you die.

That torch/flashlight halo effect is not looking right though. It stays a constant sized circle (almost like a HUD) instead of varying with distance.

Lasted a lot longer than I would have expected not using the tracker. That must be a rock hard challenge.
Fantastic footage. Lots of interesting info about the gameplay. I'm really looking forward to this.
The only two things that are bothering me at the moment is the way the flashlight works (what The Eighth Passenger mentioned), and that Amanda's body doesn't cast any shadows. That's elementary stuff and hopefully CA will fix them before launch.
Al Hope wasn't the right man to take the interview. The poor guy was so visibly nervous, and seemed to get frustrated with his own nervousness.

If you ask me, one thing i miss a little is the lack of interaction of Amanda,s body with the eviroment, like in OutCast. When you face a wall i miss Amand's hands on it...or taking the craftable stuff. Becouse of that the "sprint" thing is a bit strange...i feel a slight lack of animations.
Talking about animations, the "transitions" between them still bad executed...the Alien seem to "jump" from one animation to other...and humans a little bit too
But the games its awesome...beyond what i expected

This plus no HUD would make the game even more special.

Man I'm so excited for this. The comments about the HUD have merit, but I imagine that if the game truly is as challenging as they say, not having a HUD would be akin to a super-hard/realism mode or something, which might be included.
First time seeing the synthetics, then hearing about the human>synthetic>alien dynamic tickled me inside. A simple but creative way to make the game far more interesting and tense. Also can't wait for that creepy Ash feel, lol.
I really hope this game succeeds. The franchise needs something good so badly.
It's interesting to note the differences in Alien design from the creature in the original movie - not only does it have slight chicken-leggage but the four fingers on its hands are split too.
Yeah I don't like the chicken legs or the shiny buck teeth, but the size and overall design are incredibly good. It could've been so much worse, with fleshy goop AvP super tail aliens or thick-neck AvP:Rliens.
It looks damned huge, and great to see it can still squeeze into vents with ease.

QuoteTo make matters worse, the Xenomorph won't kill them. When the two square up, the synthetic will ask it innocent questions as to why it's on the ship, before turning their attention elsewhere. They will, however, apparently give chase to humans, throwing up even more encounters
Bloody hell - I don't think I want to play this game. xD The previews are sounding really good so far.
"The Alien hears everything, no matter where it is. Shoot someone with your revolver and, yes, you've dealt with him or her, but you better believe the Alien is coming. And shooting at the Alien when it arrives is pointless. The Alien can't be killed with such trivial toys. I'm not even sure it can be killed at all." - Eurogamer
This is sounding/looking awesome. Hard not to be excited!
I hope there isn't a one hit stealth kill on the synthetics. I like the challenge of having to repeatedly smash their face in with a wrench. :laugh:
All I really want now is the ability to completely remove the HUD, and also what Seegson said about Amanda's interaction with the environment, for it to be a bit more like Outlast, would be awesome.

Man, that is so much cooler than the EGX set-up. Same as with CM, they had the Power-Loader at E3 didn't they? Wish we'd get some cool set-ups over here.

Of course not. lol It just seemed like you were under the wrong impression. :D
The pistol looks pretty beefy, but, it does make me wonder what will happen if you try to blast the alien with it. Will the bullets just bounce off, or will it end up bleeding everywhere and cause a hull breach? (Of course not. I'm not naive to the complex nature of a system like that.)
It's interesting though, I wasn't expecting any offensive capability at all. The flamethrower was about the best I was expecting. So it's nice that it won't totally be a hide-and-seek affair. Even if it's mostly down to "disable your enemy so you can get by."

A flamethrower is still a flamethrower. Its variant doesn't matter.

it doesn't matter. It's supposed to do the job. The fire is the most effective method of killing a xeno excluding the obvious guns, so even a spray can + lighter should do something.
Have we ever officially (and canonically) seen a xenomorph actually killed by fire though?
I don't think we have. We've seen the fire kills eggs but never an adult. That said, we've seen an adult survive tons of molten lead being poured on it.
Yeah, fire destroys the eggs but yeah I recall never seeing an 'adult' killed by fire, babies yes (recalling that scene in Aliens in the hive with the cocooned colonist).
So what are you saying is that the adult xenos can be killed only by assault rifle, shotgun, etc.? No way. Its not possible. Its a tissue after all, its not metal.
Btw the revolver in the game seems way more powerful than the pistols used in A:R and in the movie one bullet to the head killed an adult xeno. The revolver in the game should be able to kill the xeno. It looks like its bigger caliber judging by its barrel and punch. (as someone already mentioned)
QuoteSo what are you saying is that the adult xenos can be killed only by assault rifle, shotgun, etc.?
There's some leap in logic...
Thats bullshit man. You can kill a xeno even with melee weapon. Why the predator is hunting xenos with spear and wrist blade if the xenos were UNKILLABLE like some people think? You are not limited to firearms only. Its funny to think you are.

This is not a drone alien from any of the sequels. It's a lone alien that has morphed into something huge, something we haven't seen before. It might very well be indestructible. And no we have never seen fire actually killing a Xenomorph. Btw the alien is biomechanical, it's tissue is not remotely close to ours. And fire and bullets are two different things, it's not like fire travels over 1000 feet per second and penetrates anything in it's path.
Can you show me a screen where I can see the mechanical part of a xeno?
Giger used car parts, and parts of a ventilation system to build the original creature. The tubes, screws, piping, all of those bits are the real deal on Giger's design, which is what this creature is supposed to be.

I think you are making several wrong assumptions here.
Firstly, tissue. It's Alien tissue, which has been described as needing a laser scalper to cut, and that's just the face hugger stage. Also, it has claws that can rend through steel. It's makeup has been described by the creators as a bio-mechanical silicon based life form, with an external exoskeleton carapace that is like armor.
Secondly, when you talk about firearms and bullets, you need to understand that it's not the gun that damages, its the bullet. There are many types of bullets, ranging from solid lead rounds to armor piercing high explosive. You can have the biggest gun in town with the largest caliber, but if your bullet is a soft lead round which flattens on impact, it's not going to be able to penetrate armor. This is why a small handgun with APHE bullets can be said to be more effective than a rifle shooting lead. FYI, the pulse rifle uses HVAPHE rounds, which can cut through an alien. However, I find it ridiculous that people think a shotgun firing ball bearings can even hurt an alien, like the games assume. The only time it ever got a kill was at point blank range in the mouth, or using high-tech plotbunium ammo. Speaking of which, all the A:R weapons that the team brought in are stated to be souped up beyond what is legal, thus their welcome.
Third, are you trying to compare what a superhuman alien species that can jump 5 meters into the air, and has metal that is made to combat the aliens acid blood, can do to an alien, to what a colonial marine with a USCM K-Bar can do? Or in this case, what one fit female civilian with a wrench can do?

This alien is a meter taller than Giger's Alien and it has different legs and is tremendously fast. I'm just saying that it looks like the next step in evolution of the original Giger Alien which could mean that it's even harder to kill than the original that was described by Ash as unstoppable and perfect.
Gabgrave I know about the bullets but Vasquez managed to kill a xeno with her sidearm pistol which was not using a special ammo type.
Also Hicks killed a xeno at non point blank range during the xeno attack. You can hear the sound. We don't know if he was using slug or buck shots but we can assume it was buck shot. My point is, you don't need an armor piercing or high explosive or incendiary rounds to kill a xeno.
As for the predator's blades. A blade is a blade. It doesn't matter if its a predator's made or not. The acid will destroy the regular comabt knife but you still be able to penetrate the tissue more or less.
----------------------------------
OpenMaw, yes the xeno have parts representing mechanical parts but they are made out of tissue, and they are not indeed mechanical :laugh: But I think you already know that.
Hello, I'm back after a long break. I've just wanted to say that I've watched most of E3 footage and been fascinated by the promise of the game. Furthermore, I think Creative Assembly exhibits the right attitude, and Al Hope in particular deserves massive praise, in particular. Some of folks here stated that he's very nervous, etc. I just think that he is very sensitive and wants to be very accurate, and his speech as a result might seem hesitant. I like him a lot as a person.
By the way, as far as some of your concerns go, especially with androids and NPCs, it's been confirmed both by the devs and the press that not all androids will be hostile, you will have to figure that out from your own observation. Some of them will be even helpful, part of them will act neutral, but of course some of them will be downright hostile. I think this would make for an interesting dynamics.

I would say that Vasquez managed to put a pistol bullet in a weak spot in the Alien's head while she had it pinned to the vent wall with her foot. Remember that immediately before this, Gorman emptied his own pistol into the Alien's armored head as it came out of a side-shaft with no apparent effect whatsoever.
This is Alien, not "Aliens". That means aliens are not cannon fodder here. CA its trying to keep the mistery, the "unknow" and "unstoppable" factor of the Alien intact. Wrong game if you are looking for something else Winteractual
The gun from here is obviously not as capable as the one Vasquez had. It got this crude, rudimentary feel to it, and by the looks of it, it takes forever to reload and has a really small clip size, like 3 or 6 bullets (well, technically it's a revolver by the name, so it should hold 6).

I don't actually necessarily agree with that. We don't really know what the Alien's genetic structure is like. We've never had anyone study a sample of the adult's structure on screen. For all we know it could be a LITERAL Biomechanical creature using nano-tech type cells. Many people believe the aliens don't need to eat simply because they are essentially a multi-limbed, conscious battery.

I very much doubt that is their intention. I'd chalk it up to artistic license. Also there's no indication on how fast the original alien could be. As in, no upper limit. It was blindingly fast when Parker made his attempt to attack it.

Giger's was just as killable as the adults in Aliens. That was
always the intent of the film makers. Why do you think they gave it acid for blood?

Well, actually it's one Alien. CA got the right mindset already. I'm not offended by them taking any liberties at all, since it's all in the good cause.

She did, but it was at point-blank range and aimed at the side of its head (and it was still flailing about afterwards). You can clearly see the bullets bouncing off the front its head a few seconds earlier when she shot at it from a distance. Taking that into consideration, I don't see how you could harm the alien with a knife.

Yes, that was the intention, but why is this convo still going? It's clear from the materials hitherto shown that neither this rudimentary revolver nor flamethrower (which by the way lasts like 3 blasts till it's completely empty) could
EVER kill the creature.
By the way, a lot more interesting question:
do you think this is the ORIGINAL Alien from the movie? The premise says that the blackbox from Nostromo got to Sevastopol, so I'm thinking it might have drifted along with the Alien who was shown to withstand the vacuum, right?

I'm half expecting that myself.
I also loved the HUD and UI, even the graphical symbols representing buttons on the gamepad were anachronic (not to mention that cool hacking device), reminded me of old Commodore Alien(s) games (and maybe a bit of Alien Resurrection).

As unlikely as that sounds, I'd have to assume CA are applying artistic liberties with the creature since it has obvious design differences from Giger's original xenomorph (eg. hands and feet).

There's been some evidence that their design used to be a facsimile and only changed a bit just recently.
But like I said any liberties they're taking don't concern me, we all know this is as close to release date as it gets, there won't be any U-Turn just like with Colonial Marines, and any fanboy-ish speculation about changing this or that pixel doesn't really interest me.
Ok then, I will accept that the xenos are immortal creatures that cannot be harmed unless you have a pulse rifle or smartgun or fire a shotgun in their mouth....

Which means it have big rounds. There are .22 revolvers with drum capable of holding 9 or 12 bullets but if the revolver is using .45 it will probably have just 6 holes. So having 3 or 6 bullets tops, means that revolver packs a punch.
But its not a big deal. I just don't believe that the xenos can not be killed. If its not breaking certain parts of the game making it impossible to beat, somebody will make a mod that enables the killing of the xeno :laugh:

The revolver isn't even capable of killing an android, plus do you think a clunky chunky revolver aimed by a person who is not a soldier would stand a chance against relentless and ever agile Xeno?

Yes, that was the intention, but why is this convo still going? It's clear from the materials hitherto shown that neither this rudimentary revolver nor flamethrower (which by the way lasts like 3 blasts till it's completely empty) could EVER kill the creature.
I have no issue with them not harming the Alien, or at the very least only discouraging it for awhile. I had the same idea of a flamethrower that just stunned the alien in A:ITV. My issue is more with those who keep saying, as if it were a fact, that the alien had God mode in Ridley's film. O'Bannon wouldn't have festered over finding a means to keep it alive if he intended for it to be unstoppable.

I actually asked if we had heard anything on this very point. I'm assuming we'll figure that point out by some means within the game itself. It would be a bit silly not to tell us.
It will certainly be interesting to learn just where the beast came from. :)

As long as it's not some ridiculously contrived plot point like Hicks' bizarre survival in
A:CM.
My first thoughts when I heard of
Alien: Isolation's storyline was "Why the hell do they have tie it to the films by adding Ripley's daughter?". If they'd left Amanda out of the picture and created an entirely new protagonist, they could pretty much come up with any explanation as to why another Alien has come into contact with humankind. Maybe picked it up on a derelict freighter while on a deep-space salvage, for example.
That seems to be the big mystery though - where the Alien is from. I still think it'll be the original one - even with the design changes. It's not like design changes were ever addressed (other than A3). Don't get me wrong, there's reasons as to why the design is different in some films but aside from A3, it was never addressed on film. Bit of retcon FTW.
As for it having God-mode, I really don't think they're saying it couldn't be killed at all. Just what the Nostromo crew (and you here) have available isn't enough. We never saw the flamethrower used against one of them so we don't really know how it'd effect them and the only time we see pistols do damage is close range (or explosive rounds from the looks of it in AR).
I'm surprised by how many of you that think this is the same alien that's in the first movie? That's just silly and totally unbelievable. The odds of the alien drifting around in space for 15 years and managing to drift right into the path of humans in space where there is like an infinite amount of directions to go...Comooon.
I agree with Predatorium. Even if it could survive in a vacuum for that long it's statistically improbable to ever encounter anything for millenia. It will eventually fall into a star perhaps after a few centuries.
It would be outright silly for CA to try and shoe-horn-in the original alien when they still have a whole shipload full of eggs to get a new Xeno from.
If they found the Nostromo's flight recorder then they will most likely have the co-ordinates where it last set down. I'm sure Seegson would be curious to see what a converted WY M-class starcruiser was doing out in the sticks.

Whats you reason for thinking it's Kane's son? Just curious.
I think I read somewhere the flight recorder was an electronic transmission and not physical... don't remember where though..
It's just how eager they are to tie it into Alien that makes me think that. With them finding the black box, I can see them reasoning that the Alien would be nearby and they find it. Just my own thoughts.
The alien would have been ejected into a completely different trajectory and velocity though. Bringing back Kane's Son would be as fanwanky as bringing Hicks (not you Corporal) back.
Don't think it's quite as big a kick in the teeth but I just expect it.

Quote from: Predatorium on Jun 13, 2014, 10:13:39 AMThis alien is a meter taller than Giger's Alien...
I have to interject here. CA increased the Alien's height by 1 to 1.5
feet. Not meter.
Which was an unnecessary decision, IMO. 8 feet tall is plenty big. I'm 6'6" and that towers over me.
Remember that Vasquez killed an alien at point blank with a pistol though.
But against that point of the alien being immortal, they are on a space station, I'm sure whatever security firearms they were using were designed to penetrate soft targets, and not anything hardened (such as a ship hull). I've always thought that the alien, being a bio-mechanical thing, would have a higher concentration of metals in it's composition. Even humans requires basic things such as iron in our diet. This is my weak theory... The aliens grow at a very quick rate, but they would prefer to keep victims alive for hosts instead of outright killing them, so they have to get their nutrition somewhere. Nothing grows without taking in something first. So I've always thought that xenomorphs take in part of their environment, and maybe that's an explanation for the acid blood, to break down those metals. So if an alien is on a ship, where there's alot of iron or aluminum or steel, they break down small pieces of metal to feed on (the bio part of their bio-mechanical process directs this). So if I'm even vaguely guessing right, these aliens would have tougher carapaces, which means they're not soft targets, which might mean that a weapon designed to not penetrate the hull of a space station would have a difficult time breaking through their skin. Where as something meant for military grade, such as light armor piercing rounds that were used in Aliens, would make short work of them.
Maybe that's why the pistol won't kill this Alien in this game.
Everyone's going to prove me wrong in 3... 2... 1...

It's good that they additionally made it taller rather than purposefully minimized it to a puppy dog size in order to shoehorn that QTE struggle in Colonial Marines. Besides, I don't think it violates canon in any way. It is logically possible for Aliens to exhibit different length.

Whoops. Thought revolvers didn't fire .45.
They are not very common :)
that particular revolver also shoots .410 shotgun shells. I almost bought one before deciding on my semi-auto px4 instead.
I'm just hoping the Alien at least reacts to getting shot, even if it's just a little screechy cry noise, like the Alien's version of "Oi watch it, you f**ka!" :P If he doesn't react, just walks through it, it will break the immersion.
QuoteRemember that Vasquez killed an alien at point blank with a pistol though.
12 shots, about half right in the side of the head. And it was still thrashing about. And it crippled her.
QuoteI've always thought that the alien, being a bio-mechanical thing, would have a higher concentration of metals in it's composition.
The skin they shed doesn't appear especially metallic.
Sometimes bullets bounce off, sometimes they don't. Too many variables like the type of ammo, range, and where you hit it.
The skin thing is easy.
As Ash states, they shed their skin and replace it with "polarized silicon" and it's implied within that very dialogue that it's a response to being in our environment. Though that was just him theorising. It could just as easily be that Aliens harden and develop their more mechanical traits as they grow. As Giger's thought processes went on the design having it almost be like a "suit of armor."
Maybe the developers will ignore everything that happens in Aliens and do whatever they want.

No, im just new to the word
In video games backtracking is when you have to move through 'finished' areas which you already went through to be able to progress.
I personally love the idea of going back to previous areas whenever u want "bioshock 1 style". Maybe u can find keys to unlock hidden areas that u couldn't access the 1st time.
So its just Bioshock style, thx!
I hope we have the run of the place. I hate it when a game says, "no, you can't go there now. Why not? Because you're here now!" :-\

So that's the Alien's father...?
I wouldn't bank on it. One of the death animations is tail through the chest.
I see they nicked ACM's grain filter. Or are those unofficial screenshots taken on a phone?
They are just low res.
It's a fan-wank moment, but I really do hope they tweak the Alien design and bring it closer to the original creature. Assuming there isn't a narrative reason for it to look distinct. It would just be nice if for a change the creature looked exactly as it did in one of the films, and not be tweaked with those dino-legs.
They wont get rid of the legs. They like those jointed one better as they prefer the fluid look they get from its movement.
I personally hate the digitigrade legs. Makes the Alien look like it was born out of some bad furry fan art. :laugh:
The rest looks ace, though. I love the size. It just looks huge.

It's been like that since the first time we saw it, they've explained why they made it like that and they're not going to change it with less than four months till release.
Back in 79 Giger and Ridley had their problems getting the original Alien suit to run without having it look "silly".
Guys working on Alien Isolation "ran" into this problem again and solved it by giving it digitigrade legs.

Yeah, I know, and I...
I don't care. :) I do not like the changes, and I don't agree with their conclusions regarding the animation of the creature.
Oh, and, four months? That's about three months more time then it would take to change the legs, and two months more than needed to redo animations.
Also, it was never an issue in AVP 99 or AVP 2 to get the aliens to animate smooth and run fast with biped legs. Never once had I heard anyone remark on the Aliens in 99 being "goofy" when they tore down a haul and ate a marines face off their face.

The thing is - in the film the creature was rarely shown in a full shot, and even when it was, then it lasted fractions of seconds. So, creators of Alien: Isolation had a bit of a challenge to overcome here as Alien is bound to be shown in its full animated glory.
I'm not that bothered by the legs, it may not be movie accurate yet in-game it just makes sense, it's a necessary compromise so that the alien can move around without being derpy when it's running around. These "dino legs" as some call them offer a lot more flexibility with what you can do with the alien.
It's still a towering, menacing creature, alright.
