alien isolation?

[EazyDuz]

Out on the 7th. Anyone buying?
Looks to be a good game with a few flaws, bad human enemy ai for one. But it looks true to the movie with retro computers, an epic sound track and a good main character.
Still, after completing The Last Of Us everything else looks inferior.

Unlikely to be buying as money is tighter than Rik Wallers pants elastic, but it does look decent, like the game Alien: Colonial Marines *should* have been.

Probably wait a few months when it's cheap as chips. Can imagine it's a game that's good for a bit but gets a bit boring

Colonial Marines looked good too... I'm fucked if I'm buying it on release after that shower of shite.

Looks good, but some reviews are saying the game is too long and outstays its welcome in the second half.

Bought Colonial Marines on release. Was disappointed beyond belief, what a shit game.

Won't make same mistake twice. Plus early reviews say the game's not that great - too long? I would love to love this game but it it's just repetitive i'll get bored so quickly. Anyone got it yet?

its not something i'd ever buy but i watched this matey stream the first few hours of it the other night. it looked repetitive and after the initial few scares with the alien a bit dull. too much of do a hundred things to get through one door to the next few hundred things etc etc.

never saw the end but i read that its a bit of an anti climax and makes no sense.

multiplayer gaming is the only way

Judging from the reviews and the play through videos, it looks like a decent survival horror game.
The last game that had me on the edge of my seat like that was the first Dead Space, created an awesome atmosphere that was immersive. Really had you "over listening" for things for the first part of the game, especially if you played it alone in the dark

Looks like they got the sound/music for Alien Isolation spot on.
If only I had something to play it on

I've just completed it. It's a good game overall and I'd give it a solid 8/10.

It's very tense and playing on medium, quite hard. I think the main thing your average consoletard will struggle with is the infrequent manual saves, minimal handholding and the fact the big spiny alien can't be hurt.

Few screen shots for ye all. Not spoilery.

Teme do they just happen to be lighter areas or did you cheat and turn your brightness way up? All footage ive seen is almost pitch black.
Think I'll pick it up when its below £25 for ps4.
About the length of the game. People moan when a campaign is 6 hours now they moan when its 15+ hours.

15 hours of hiding in or under things? Think i'll pass. Shadow of mordor on the other hand was great. Well worth the free download it was 34GB though

10/10 So far,

My ancient Q6600 plays the game just fine at 1080p, max settings (no Vsync) - so it also gets extra points for that. I'd give it 15/10 but that'd be just stupid.

EDIT: ''Dead space'' comparison, well Dead space didn't have that nostalgia flash back and was quite a different game. The Dead space was a great series, even the Wii version was great.

AI and DS are two completely different games. Their only similarity is they are set on a hostile space ship.
I heard if you play on hard the alien even hears your motion tracker. Fuck that

I actually think if Dead Space was first person it would be better than Alien Isolation. AI relies so heavily on the movie atmosphere but its done so well its worth playing almost for that alone. DS is a purely developed game and as such has more depth. They both boil down to being creeping about in a dark spaceship though.

[AngelGrinder]

I'm playing through it now and REALLY enjoying it.

The creators are obviously massive aliens fans, and understand what fans of the original wanted.

It is really tense, it can be frustrating, but it rarely to me feels like it wasn't my fault. There is one section which is the first time you really get hunted by the alien, and it really is a trial by fire. I think this section is designed to get you used to evading the alien, and trying out new techniques and stuff as it never really leaves you alone. It's tempting to sit in a locker and wait for it to disappear, but the best way is to just go balls out and move as soon as its not looking at you. After this difficult section it backs off a bit and spends a lot more time in vents, and only comes down if you make noise.

There's also some really cool sections which I wasn't expecting. It does have a bit of a change of pace from Level 10 -13 but I enjoyed it, could do a bit of sightseeing, and play around with weapons a lot more. Just got to level 14 and holy sh*t!

Absolutely loving the slower pacing of the game, the save points really aren't that bad, the only way they are more than 15 minutes apart is if you are really, really hiding and going slowly. I'm playing on hard, and the only main points I've been stuck is the aforementioned difficulty spike.

Reminds me of bioshocks environments and audio logs, and metros sections with no/few enemies and just story telling.

I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys spending time with their games and appreciating them.
