I sent a tweet to the A:I Twitter account asking about a collector's edition, if they're might be any kind of statue or anything. No reply yet, might be too soon for them to say (or they can't say). I would very much like a A:CM style collector's edition. I love the extra goodies and the statue. It's very cool in my opinion and will outlive the game by a long shot. I still play it occasionally, as well as AvP2010 and AvP2 (PC).

Only with Alien games do I preorder. Its only because I live and breath Aliens that one more day is just too long.

The only game I've ever pre-ordered is Skyrim, so I can safely rely on my own consumer investigation and instinct when it comes to supporting products. :laugh:

But if I bought Colonial Marines on midnight at release :'( I'm damned sure going to support an Alien game trying a new, more faithful direction. I mean I love supporting different games anyway, ones that don't try and homogenize every cliche they can into a single botched 'everybody loves it' product, so Isolation is really a no-brainer.

The only thing I do know for absolute certain is that if it does suck, there's no way it will suck as hard as Colonial Marines. That thing is the true apex of failure, the X Rebirth of the Aliens license, and I declare it won't be matched for many generations to come.

Will be waiting for IGN reviews. They usually make the right calls. And I will look at other major sites as well.

I tend to agree with most of their reviews, but to each his/her own.

At least, you can see general spectrum through their review even if you disagree.

It is what it is.

How much is futzing around in recreated environments from the first two movies worth?

Its worth something.
The graphics look good.

I really hope that isn't all it f*cking is or I will be sorely disappointed.

Hell no, this game already looks good enough for my taste. I understand all the issues with Aliens Colonial Marines but I still like it as a fan of the films. What I like about it mostly is the fact that just playing it brings back a little bit of that nostalgia from Aliens.

For me it rather ruined it with seeing crap alien designs as: Spitters, lurkers, bull alien etc, horrible designs.

Same here, It felt like playing a crappy version of PS1's Alien: Resurrection.

Yeah I won't deny that the graphics were quite terrible. They were showing us pictures of the game before with amazing graphics and effects but the final product was just terrible and the gameplay experience was very clunky. Alien Isolation is introducing a true survival horror expierience. With tension, fantastic atmosphere and great gameplay.
