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.

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.
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.
I'm getting more used to them. Dont mind them, now.

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.

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.
