what are you hopes/expectations for alien isolation 2?
>nigger0.
>>719434332>hopesA faithful continuation of the first game that fits in nicely with canon>expectationsBuggy and unoptimised Unreal 5 powered slop.
I hope they continue with the FNAF formula
Two Alieums
>>7194343326 hours long instead of 30
>>719434332The only two things I'd want are a campaign that isn't 3 hours longer than it needs to be and improved character models and animations.
>>719434332>hopesit is to alien isolation what aliens is to alien.>expecationsgame will be canceled mid development for being giga buns
>>719434332>hopesUnironically longer but with good engagement.Based more on the second movie more.Delves more into the fucked up parts of xeno nature.Finally introduces the king xeno. You have to avoid and escape it at some final sequence ig.Doesn't continue Amanda's story, at least directly.UPP makes an appeareance.>expectationsShitty original references and lines.Prometheus made canon.Buggy.Not original enough to keep you engaged.Ruins the first story.
I expect nothing from any ip tied to d*sney in anyway
>>719434741>I want less game for my moneyWe should be lynching your kind on the streets
>>719434978you mean 10 hours longer than it needs to be?
>>719435047This. Got a feeling they'll cancel it, and if they don't it'll be shit. They also did it before the disney acquisition if memory serves so now it's even more likely to be abysmal dogshit.Dark descent was ok. If you want a good aliens game I recommend that one. The psychic shit and overacting was kind of out there tho, but overall it wasn't as bad as people expected at the start.
>>719435745thats retarded logicquality > quantity
better charactersmake me give a shit about friendly npcs before they inevitably get facehugged or killed by the xeno
didn't the original team get dissolved?
>>719434332Leave out the shitty door repair minigames.>b-b-but that's the only gameplay we have!Then don't make the game.>>719435745Making a game longer does not make it better if you ran out of gameplay ideas hours ago.
Im hoping they say "fuck this" and make Jurassic Park instead. Imagine a game as faithful to the 1993 JP movie as Isolation was to Alien, then add Velociraptors that can open doors. They'd be just as scary as the Alien
>>719435841>>719436013I will take both thank you, and in my opinion Isolation had both too.You literally have the same opinion as a modern game journo, this is the part where I would be taking your gamer license if we had those.
make the protagonist male and give the xenomorph boobs
>>71943433245 hr long game with 60 false endings
>>719436013It wasn't that terrible. The "too long" argument is for retards that hid in lockers 90% of the time or if you're IGN. You're mostly in it for the story and by the time the mechanics start to get repetitive (third last part,) the game weighs on moving forward with lot of changes happening to keep you engaged like corporate coming onboard or station crashing, ect.Wanting it to be longer is asking for more of the content that kept you engaged. For me it was the progression of the story or the random shit you found around the station. There's a whole section just for logs for you to read and I'm guessing you just didn't care for them.>walking simgo play csgo
>>719436728it's more that they kept making you think it would end, but then it went on for hours longer. The story arc and pacing was wrong
>>719434741It's the best thing that came out of the Alien franchise for thirty years. And took over a decade to ever make more. You're goddamn right I want it to be 30 hours. There's no benefit to you to seeing the ending as fast as possible a hundred times. But I love there being lots of areas to explore, lots of characters, lots of missions and events.
>>719435095>Doesn't continue Amanda's story, at least directly.This. But they're going to do it. Rather than end Amanda's adventure and keep it plausible canon (a perfect time to introduce someone new and unconnected to Ripley), they're going to keep Amanda and pretend she didn't die and has been secretly fighting aliens a dozen more times throughout space
>>719436972>it's more that they kept making you think it would end, but then it went on for hours longerThis was great actually, it prolonged your suffering, gave you hope and quickly quelled it, made you think you were safe then dragged you back into hell. Felt like being in an actual nightmare, and the cold indifference of space laughs at your exhaustion and begging for repreive.
>>719437202This. The amount of time it takes for some autists to actually make a good piece of aliens media among the slop makes you want more. Fuck di*ney and fuck riddley scott.
>>719437340>they're going to keep Amanda and pretend she didn't dieThat's because she canonically didn't die. She died of old age surrounded by loved ones, they even showed fotos of her to ripley when she finally made it back to earth after Alien 1
>>719436728About the only "too long" part I didn't like on repeat playthroughs was:>the rush to get out of the station part felt like it had several areas just tacked on with ideas they wanted to put elsewhere like the runaway train you have to dodge>you get captured, knocked out and cocooned only to wake up very soon after and before getting facehugged, then somehow break free on your own and start escaping again; Those felt like padding. She didn't need to get cocooned right at the end as some kind of "gotcha!"
>>719437676Pretend she didn't die of old age*. They're going to pretend that the old woman they showed Ripley was le ACTUALLY an imposter. And they were totally secretly using her real daughter as an alien fighter in some far off space system and lying to Ripley. Because alien stories need the most idiotic lore and convoluted nonsensical schemes possible.
>>719437790>She didn't need to get cocooned right at the end as some kind of "gotcha!"That's just like the movies though. Both Alien and Aliens had endings with a "think you're safe? think again" gotcha moment, like with the alien being inside the escape pod and the queen making its way on board.
>>719437891Yeah I can see how that would make me really angry
>>719437980That's EXACTLY why it's terrible. You don't just repeat it over and over and over, eventually saying EVERY Alien movie needs it every time. Now these morons think that every Alien movie/story/game needs a female protagonist who looks/acts like Ripley but even more girlbossy. And they all need one android sidekick. It's really dumb and repetitive.
>>719434741>6 hours long instead of 30For fucks sake no. It needs to be at least as long as part one. Go play some mobile games that fits your attention span you fucking zoomer.
I wish so badly that they make the xenomorphs AI the absolute very best it can be. I do not want the AI to moreless know where you are like it did in the first game, I want it to be completely reactive to everything that happens all the time disregard wherever you are. I want it so that you will literally never know where it could be prowling. Of course I am very well aware that best case scenario they will make something as good as the first game and not what I wish for.
>>719438394im guarantee i am older than youi am sick of slogfest games that are pointlessly padded and long so people get "more for their money". games USED to be shorter you know?
I want Isolation2 to have the ATAX xeno biotech suit!
>>719438487It had the perfect lengh retard. As I said go play mobile games.
>>719434332>hopesNo fucking gay nigger cripple woman.>fearsThe gay nigger cripple woman is in it.
>>719438419>to moreless know where you are like it did in the first gameIt didn't. And it was the best AI ever made for these types of games.
>>719438689i can see why some anons might be turned off by it being a bit over 10 hours but i DO think that adds to the feeling of being pushed to the brink mentally on the harder modes if you aren't speedrunning the gamethe game's paced very well in that there's a number of breather sections between the high tensions stuff with the alien hunting youit strikes a really good balance almost all the time
>>719434741>30Stop being shit. 99% of the people who claim that Isolation is too long say so because they spent the entire game crouchwalking.
>>719438419You would be for most of the game on easy mode if it didn't have sections where it was fighting with it's other AI brain about where you are.For an aliens inspired game it could work if there are multiple xenos so you don't just go 90% of the time without encountering the xeno at all. Maybe, not a dev.
>>719434332That it never happens. Never played the original and never will, shill.
>>719438689ive never played a mobile gamehorror is best kept short. almost every great horror game is short except a small handful like darkwood
>>71943894030 hours is like the 100% achievement guided run for every collectible and achievements according to how long to beat - i agree with you though, the game isn't actually as long as some anons claim and it's likely that they spend way too much time hiding for no reason or crouching when simply walking 95% of the time is fine and will actually get you out of danger, the game is designed for the player to try and take risks and it pays off, if you actually fumble then you have items to fall back on
>>719439314>>719438940i spent 30 hours because i played it on the hardest difficulty modeit was WAY too repetitive and some parts dragged on
>>719439290Wrong, and not every horror is up in your face. Most horror games you'll eventually get used to seeing the monsters because they obviously can't hurt you. A good story and afterward fixation on the disturbing themes can keep a horror game going. It doesn't have anything to do with the length.
>>719438904>>719438904What I also want like >>719438419 says is a game with an insanely good AI and, above all, that actually makes the game extremely hard on the highest difficulty. For me the original game even on the highest difficulty wasen't hard at all if you were slightly careful and even if you fucked up and crossed paths with the xenomorph all you had to do was to spray it with a bit of the good old flamethrower, hide for a bit and then continue. I really want them to go all out on the AI and on the difficulty for those of us that want a challenge.
>>719438940This. I didn't want the game to end because I was enjoying it so much. I got value for money. Now we have fags complaining its too long? This is why we get fed nothing but shit now, standards are dropping
it had fun DLC. Hope for more
>>719439727The more you sprayed at it the more resilient the bastard became. An interesting way to improve it would've been seeing it crawling on the walls/ceiling
>>719439594were you getting lost or something? my first play was blind at launch before nightmare was a mode and it was around 14 hours on hard so i can never go back and play nightmare as my first run but essentially you just have a broken tracker and less items than hard but the core game is still the same with some minor tweaks from what hard offers.
>>719434332Biggest wasted potential with Isolation was that you were led by the nose at all times. Even though you had this big ship, you never actually organically explored it, it was just a linear trek from objective to objective.I would love if 2 let the player off the leash more and let them explore maps properly. Then the player is tested on their knowledge of the area when the xenomorph (or whatever it might be) comes in.As a consequence of this though they would have to rework the director AI to let the xenomorph wander around more dynamically, which would be a good thing.
>>719439762>>719439708You are becoming hysterical.
>>719439969nightmare, as the name implies, was very difficult, for a first run especially
>>719440130>Ask about Sevastopol safety protocolsI wonder if this would actually work
>>719439969and to add to this i think nightmare isn't really for a first run due to the map not being a thing and it being post launch content - anyone doing that on their initial run is shooting themselves in the leg, it's not really the alien or lack of resources that are hard but navigation is much more of the issue - nightmare assumes you know where to go essentially and takes away the map which was designed into the game as something you scavenger from terminals like a resource
>>719434332If it's made my nu-CA, nothing.
>>719434332That instead of making it shorter they just add more variety to the gameplay. Delve more into the immsimy stuff with the alien vs humans vs androids dynamic, more stealth tools, breather segments where you get gameplay mechanics other than sneaking.
>>719440194>I will now thoroughly explain Sevastopol's Safety Protocols!
the androids were more annoying than the xenomorph
the androids were a great addition to the xenomorph
>>719440309you're becoming hysterical
>>719440351Great addition to the canon too. So rare to see a sequel respect the source material, and add new stuff that doesnt trample on it.>Shitty outdated McRobots made by a company thats about to go underIts perfect. There's like 1 in a million fanfictions that are this cautious with the source material, so seeing it from a AAA game was amazing. Plus it gave them an excuse to have multiple android enemies while upping the scare factor.>What's scarier than Ash?>How about a hundred psychotic Ashes all hanging out in the uncanny valley And in any other game that would have turned out to be dogshit but here it just works.
>>719434332But anon, AI2 already exists.
>>719434332I hope we can finally discuss the bonus situation
>>719438662People actually praised this Bloomkamp shit. When I heard of the script, saw the art, ect. it was terrible. Glad they didn't actually put it on film.
>>719439962Yes, just make it literally the absolute last resort to shoot at the extraterrestrial. I just wish they would make it tremendously atmospheric and with a huge emphasis on the fact that the xenomorph doesn't know where you are unless you make noise.I want the AI to be as detailed and nuanced as possible. Extremely intelligent like the alien itself is.

>>719440745kek
>>719434332>hopesJust improve everything the first game did in general. Maybe make the alien even more dangerous, but with even more ways of dealing with it; for instance if you actually trap it using locked doors, maybe instead of teleporting out because it's stuck it just spends a significant amount of time trying to break the door down. If multiple aliens are introduced, make killing them a possible (if extremely resource intensive) possibility.I mean that last one's probably controversial but I just found it silly how in the game you find a fucking homemade railgun and it doesn't even tickle the alien for no reason other than "you just can't okay"
That the last 5 hours don't needlessly drag on and make a 9/10 game a 7.5/10 game
>>719440574based take. I wish the people who make the movies understood this
Make the human NPCs more threatening. Have them stalk and hunt you down instead of just standing there and shooting at you like retards so they can attract and be fodder for the alien.
>>719441003>play alien game>want to fight humans call of dooty style instead because the alien makes him shit his pants
>>719441003>UPP soldiers looking for you>you're a retard and make some noise like you learned from the 1st game>xeno comes running>they fumble but kill it>close in on your posKINO!
>>719441194NTA but it kills immersion when you see how much love and care was put into the robots / alien, and then humans do this goofy crouch + stand animation, fire two shots, eat three bullets without flinching, then kneel again behind cover.
>>719441003I thought it'd be neat to have like 6 humans enemies in straitjackets. Guys who went crazy due to space madness or whatever>wanders around>if they spot you, screams like crazy and draws the Xeno and/or Working Joes>one lunatic in an early level to show you how they work>ten hours later, have to sneak through a psych ward filled with like five of them
>>719441289finally nuking them from orbit
None I couldnt even finish Isolation 1 too fucking long and boring.
I really enjoyed using noisemakers and shit to make the alien kill people. So long as they have lots of that, I'll enjoy 2. Got the "No Humans Killed" Achievement, of course.
>>719442118That comic is so bad
>>719442118I liked those. Looking forward to new items. I'm assuming they location will be on a human terraforming colony like Aliens. Maybe they'll have multiple locations
My biggest hope is developing characters a bit more and giving them better arcs. I was really interested in seeing where Samuels and Taylor went. Samuels was a bro and his death was interesting. Taylor just kinda got caught in an explosion. Ricardo's death was a shock and sad.
>>719442558I didn't realize Samuels was a synth for a long time. I felt really stupid.
>>719434332Remove flamethrower. It made the game way too easy and you feel like an idiot if you don't use it.
>>719434332>hopesrelease before Routine>expectationscanceled with Routine
>>719445054>tfw
>>719443239>releases before Routine again>dev has another breakdown and delays the game for another decade
>>719445454the dev had a breakdown?
>>719434332>HopesMore SFM porn of Amanda>ExpectationsMore SFM porn of alien
>>719438940trvketook me 14 hours blind because i didn't hide in lockers for 90% of the game like a lil bitch
>>719435238This. Romulus and Earth were pure goyslop.
>>719445871earth is fun i like it
>>719445454>>719445656wasn't it because of the girl in the dev team?>>719445690there's porn of amanda?
>>719445871>>719445928Alien = Isolation > Earth > Romulus > shit >the rest
>>719445871Haven't seen all of Earth yet, but Romulus was good. A bit derivative, but the amazing special effects alone made it worth a watch.
>>719446205>romulus was goodoh how we've fallen
>>719442558Axel is Jackfrags
>>719434332More isolation, less alien.
>>719434332that it's actually good this time
like the first one but with more dynamic gameplay, environmental interaction, less jank and remove the time wasting redundant systems >>719434547>Buggy and unoptimised Unreal 5 powered slop.yeah this is what I expect it to be
>>719445054This is how big it was supposed to be in the original, but they just didn't have the budget to make it right?
>>719448263Original set was huge, but they used child actors (Ridley Scott's kids) for the wide shots so the Engineer would look even bigger.
Playing this game in VR was awesome. Just going around the station looking at stuff, exploring the alien world and derelict, outside the space station, all so pretty
