Wow, both videos were really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

That's interesting but I'm glad they changed to first person. It looked like it would play a bit awkwardly in third person.
I will say, however, I like the sound design better here. No foot stomps and just a heartbeat sound effect and the hisses of the Alien. It sounded terrific.

This. Also love the way alien attacks at the end.
Looks ok!
They should make it like GTA V... gibe you the option to switch.
I'm really interested in how similar the environments are, but a lot of cut content! I know there are references to an smg, and different ammo types in files. I hope they plan on doing more in dlc. Not 3rd person, but just so much of that material.
It was a good option to shift it into first person. Interesting looking at the Alien from 3rd person however.

i can tell why they went with fps but yeah beating the game on nightmare and unlocking this option would be a nice idea. but i dunno how would she use the motion tracker in tps
An overlay on the HUD, I guess.
Very cool to see this footage! I was hoping we would eventually. I'm so glad they went with first person though. It made it much more visceral IMHO.
They definitely made the right call going first-person. Third-person looks cool and all, and I like the character animations, but first-person just generates so much more tension and dread.
Just found myself shouting "Get out of there!" at my monitor when all those facehuggers appear! Even as a skewed, low res video of a tech demo, Alien Isolation just works.
It looks like they actually had the planned "multi-weapon" in the third person build. For those of you who don't know, the original idea was, ala Aliens, Amanda was to just tape and mash together weaponry and equipment into one weapon. That makes more sense, in a third person build, if we're talking mechanic wise. It's different than just carrying a bunch of weaponry, that'd be terribly generic looking. The one weapon that's left that refflects those concepts is the Nailgun.
But they decided to go and ditch that. I thought they didn't go through with it and just left it concept. Applying that to third person makes a lot more sense, but that translates, rather unwell in first person. It also looks like she was carrying the cut "SMG", maybe? There's whole load of cut material for this game.
I would have loved to have seen a scene with e original pitch in the fame it looks awesome. Third person would not have worked for this game
I'm certainly glad they went with first person. To me, it is much more immersive. The surgical room full of facehuggers was cool.

Yea I'm so glad they went with 1st person over 3rd person.
Not sure if this is just me, but the Alien dropping down at the end of the pitch video looks like the ADI design rather than the final Giger one.
Yeah, it does appear that way slightly. However, I think the quality of the video might be helping that impression.
The brown highlights, the shoulders, the jaw, the head shape. That's totally the Alien Resurrection design. Likely was just a placeholder for the pitch, but still, interesting to see. They used it for one of the concept art pieces as well. Not the exact design but very similar.

Yeah that's definitely the Resurrection Alien at the end.
Just rewatched it and you're completely right.
to me all versions of the game look awesome would love to see the third person build in full screen and I liked the pitch video aswell the first person perspective works amazing but would love to see what its like to have a 3rd person perspective too just ashame the pitch build graphics look a lot better than the final build still a solid game though and game of the year for me I hope there is a sequel but more akin to camerons aliens this time the one alien was good for the first time but don't think it would freak me out so much in a sequel so I hope creative assembly do get to make a sequel but give us the game gearbox said they were giving us but obviously with keeping amanda ripley in the story I still yern for a 4 player co-op aliens game and I think creative assembly could really deliver
I love the alien sounds, I wish they at least gave us a difficulty mode without the "stomping"
The alien shiny head also looks nice, love it.
Impressive. Even the 3rd person looked fantastic. They managed to nail the claustrophobia in the vents too with the title angle and Amanda obscuring the view.
3rd person would also allow you to see more, potentially than you could in 1st person. 1st person is the way to go with a game like this, I think.
I actually prefer the design of the Alien in the third person build. It's a lot more..humanoid. It still has the Animalistic leg (I don't mind, the regular old human leg design looks silly), but it's more lengthy, skinny, and the dome has a lot more lighting effects on it. Still, importing that view into first person might have some complications. But I love the animations of it in third person, wish they could've salvaged some of those old Alien sound effects into the release build as well.
