HAPPENINGhttps://youtu.be/h8wJ5nHyKEc?si=Jx9WZxKR2VUNdBuz
>>737690841Hard to believe this game is already 12 years old.For perspective Metroid Prime was 12 years old when Alien Isolation came out.
>>737690841Shit game
>>737691090No u
>>737690841Can't wait. I replay the original each year. It's just so fun. Love the survival DLCs.
>>737691090it's quite literally the best horror game ever made
Only game that has ever spooped me
>>737690841could just be a remaster, don't get your hopes up
>>737691852>fnaf exists
>>737691949They announced a sequel 4 years ago. This is the first trailer.
>>737690841>RainSo, this one will take place in a planetary colony like in Aliens, uh?
>>737691949 Seems to be a new environment
>>737691852That's, SOMA tho.
>>737691949They are doing a sequel but they are probably remastering the first one too
>>737691949>>737692057it looks like a colony.
>>737692068Soma isn't scary.
>>737690841I hope they add all the lore from the prequels
>>737692115It's fucking terrifying, what are you even talking about? If you think SOMA isn't scary then no horror game is scary to you.
>>737690841God that hair looks like ass. Why can't modern games do it at all?
>>737690841Great but you men ruined aliens for me
>>737692151>Alien: Resurrection>Qualitylmao
>>737692068soma is gay and lame. not scary>muh coin flipfuck off.
>>737692151what a fucking retard image
>>737692221I was well versed in it's themes years before it came out. I guess it's scary if you didn't think about human consciousness before.
>>737692323>t. anon who lost the coin flip
>>737692261>>737692325>newfags falling for decade old baitkino
>>737692250Scott where are the pubs you hack. Don't paint them over you homosexual!!
>>737692014Could be artificial rain from reactor coolant condensation.
>>737692381The scariness has nothing to do with its philosophical themes. Remove the plot and the philosophical musings about human existence and it's still a scary game because it's a scary fucking game.
>>737692496Sorry, that kind of running around games aren't scary to me anymore. I only enjoyed the themes in it.
>>737692323your seething is a symptom of inceldom
I waited so long for this. Can't believe it's actually happening.I'm scared for the devs though, there's a chance this sequel to a masterpiece won't make enough money.
>>737692261Why not?
>>737690841Very overrated, the tension is almost immediately lost once you obtain a weapon, and the alien is real dumb so once you figure out the limitations of the AI you can easily abuse it
>>737692629It's literally the same devs coming off Total War Warhammer back to Alien.
hopefully it has some more gameplay with substance this time, first one had a lot of half baked ideas and was ultimately carried by the presentation
>>737690841Day 1 purchaseI'll buy a copy for all of my 200 friends too
>>737692246>modernSir that's a game from 2014
>>737692694The people who make the strategy games aren't the same who made/make Alien. It's completely separate teams.
>>737692115t. played it in broad daylight while browsing ticktock next to my siblings
>>737690841>le horror>the trailer is colorful and cartoonyWHY IS EVERYTHING SO FUCKING G*Y
>>737692496its not. just like amnesia wasnt either. its just a very very lame walking simulator. no real trigger to fight or flight response or anything to be deacribed as fear made far worse by how limited its gameplay is. Alien isolation gives you agency and shit to do and soma is a non interactive fair ride except now you arent allowed to look at scary things.if it werent for occasionally hitting W on the keyboard soma would be a movie with all the visuals cut out for sensitive viewers
what about bonus situation?
>>737691090Lmao you got filtered by medbay
>>737692890Right...
I got movement...
>>737692969is that lv426?
>>737690841If only Capcom is capable of writing code then Mr. X and Nemesis would've been better stalkers.
>>737693005Similar, but not the same planet
>>737692890Bonuses? How can we afford to pay you a 20% bonus? Small family company like W-Y can only afford a 10% bonus. Here's 4 coupon codes for your crew that will expire in transit
>>737692969>>737693005Thats planet from Romulus
>>737690841Are any of the same developers still there or is this basically an entirely different group?
>>737690841what if it was alien guysolation and it was just for the fellas
>>737690841Me on the left
>>737693530Definitely a fresh team, original team was separate from the TW team and probably got shitcanned after development stopped.
>>737693623Alien goysolation
>>737690841Alien Isolation is genuinely one of the best horror games ever made and I'm beyond glad it finally got the recognition it deserved.
>>737690841Holy shit moot is in a video game
Will get ruined because horror games have to consider the gun and ball audiencesilent hill 2 remake gameplay sucked
>>737690841I hope they do a current-gen remaster for the first one at the same, I wanna see it in HDR.
No M41A Pulse rifleNo buyNo M56 Smartgun No buyNo APCNo buyNo Let's RockNo buy
>>737693956yes because silent hill 2 was known for having no guns and combat scenarios and for how it was all well realized and not janky at all
>>737694421Hey man, all I need is to know where they are
Will Romulus be in this?
>>737693956They added enemies with ranged attacks in the original SH2 to make the game at least have some semblance of gameplay and engagement.
Paused my skull polishing for thisThis better be good
>>737690841Hopefully they listen to feedback from the original and don't end this game like 3 different times which resulted in the first feeling like it dragged on for far too long.
Isolation is genuinely dogshit and IGN was right. Sci-fi Outlast with guns.
>>737694492Isolation took place after Alien and before Aliens. Dunno about the nu-Alien timelines anymore.
Its insane how you only need one enemy with a really good AI to make something scary.
>not dark descent two:(
I assume they're gonna make the FNAF clone sequel non canon for this. More curious to how they'll handle the comic stuff. Maybe Amanda Ripley won't be in this and you'll be a colonial marine trying to survive
>>737694590>outlast - walking sim where the only gameplay option is running and hiding>Alien Isolation - complex survival horror where the game gives you countless different tools at your disposal to distract and fight off the Alien which itself has an AI that actively punishes you for being passive and just hidingYou haven't played it or you did and played it on easy, either way it's a self report.
>>737694590not entirely dogshit but the pacing could be better
>>737694590You got filtered by medbay
>>737694963Alien Isolation's main problem is that it's unironically too long so the game does start to drag by the middle to late stages of the game.
>>737690841Is that Hadley's Hope?
>>737695052Better hope it's just another generic colony. We don't need another alien game trying to be the true sequel to Aliens.
>>737694634i dont understand why people thought the ai is good. the game is a hallway sim where they drop evil otto on you whenever you need to get another keycard and it runs a dice roll on whether or not the alien will just bee line for you. if the game had an open, metroid like map and some kind of system where the alien was drawn to you when you made noise, i could see the praise for the ai. but all it's doing is loading the xeno in to whatever hallway you're collecting key cards in. i was severely dissapointed by this game, it didn't live up to the shilling on here, which i suspect is partly inorganic.when i got the ion torch i thought there'd at least be some side areas to discover but no, just some audio tapes. the game is just walk forward, get keycard, hide under table, walk to door, get one shot by the xeno 1/4 times. maybe ill try it with the untethering mod. the ambience of being on a huge derelict spacecraft is completely lost when the bad guy is your eternal buttbuddy. and no, i dont care that there is a plot handwave for this, im talking about atmosphere and gameplay, not story.
>>737695032No, isolation's main issue is the AI director tethering the xeno on to you. It basically encourages metagaming and not playing in an intuitive manner.Unpredictable Alien mod unironically makes the experience feel far more natural
I hated those android assholes in Isolation
>>737695179
>>737695179You are becoming hysterical.
>>737691981>streamerslop optimised
>>737695179Come with me please.
>New Alien Isolation>It'll have to follow the Disney canon.Maybe Amanda not being in this would be a good thing given what they did with her in the comics..
>>737694661i still havent got around to finishing that one. we need another fireteam elite
>>737690841Something about OP's image reminds me of Telltale games. Not sure what it is, maybe the coloring (especially on Ripley's face) and the slightly cartoonish style?
>>737695438>we need another fireteam eliteThat's supposed to be one of the three alien games in development currently.
FALSE SENSE OF SECURITYLIKE POCKETS JINGLINGMIDLIIIIFE CRISISSSSSSSSUCK INGENUITYDOWN THROUGH THE FAMILYTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>737690841HOLY FUCKING KINO GAMING IS HEALING
>>737695173>Unpredictable Alien modIs for babies scared of the alien, it's already dumb as fuck on any difficulty lower than hard and you want to make it even dumber.
>>737695438>>737695529Fireteam Elite was boring and uninspired.
>>737693956I can't wait for the SH1 remake to have the same amount encounters, or even less, with the same combat strategies as the original, and you fags to bitch and moan that there's too much combat.VN Hill 2 fags, not even once
>Total War games were so bad because they put all efforts and power developing Isolation sequel kinoI WANT TO BELIEVE
This is just gonna be another alien project that ends with Prometheus goopslop in the final act. You know in your hearts it's true.
>>737695848PrometheusGODs can't stop winning
What would you guys like to see in the sequel?
>>737695952New protagonist. I dislike the idea that both Ripley's end up running into Xenomorphs all the time that the comics did.
>>737695952
I thought you were trolling us t first holy shit it's real.I WANT IT I FUCKING WAITED OVER A DECADE FOR THIS
Need a Dark Descent sequel that further refines the formular. Game had so much potential, but it was so clearly handled by a B-tier developer.
>>737696249The sequel was announced a year ago, newfriend.
>>737692007They announced a sequel last year, not 4 years ago.
>>737695438>>737695529Fireteam elite is wasted potential the game. Game has so many design issue flaws. >A 3 player survival as opposed to 4 or more, isolating most gamers and friend groups because they dont want to leave a player out. Their was a way to get 4 players but dev's patched it.>The AoE weapons added like grenade launcher and rocker launch but aliens rarely swarm together, instead they come from all angles so you rarely hit more than 2-3 aliens at a time making them all shit.>The weird card system for bonuses just being so stupid and grindy that they gave up and made them all free.>No proper boss fight till DLC. Campaign is very short.I liked the tetris upgrade system though.
>>737696284I know that, I'm just still excited that it's actually being worked on right now and could come out within a year or 2.
>>737696367no ingame voice or text chat so coordinating with randoms was impossible. most of the cards just made the game stupid difficult
>>737696367My problem with Fireteam Elite is that it was just too 'safe'. They really didn't do anything unique or interesting with the IP. It had zero innovation and played like any other generic shooter. The new alien designs were lame too. Fireteam Elite is the most milquetoast Alien game ever made.
kek, still have memes on hd from those threads years ago
>isolation sequel was announced in 2024What? I can't remember this
>>737695601>it's already dumb as fuck on any difficulty lower than hardit's not a matter of difficulty, vanilla forces you to constantly walk and basically ignore everything about the game. Forget reading terminals, forget exploring, forget using lockers and whatnot. You just walk and block line of sight, it's incredibly unintuitive, and it just becomes shallow once you have it figured out. Not difficultModded actually offers a bit of a more genuine experience. it's not perfect, but you don't have to metagame. hell, you CAN'T, because the lack of tether makes the xeno far more... UNPREDICTABLE. That's the whole point
>>737696641You have alzheimer's. Sorry you had to find out this way, anon.
>>737690841Whaaaaaaat Thats really cool
>>737696641See >>737696284
>>737690841Good luck to them, I hope they will succeedespecially as many important people of the original game left the studio to make another studio (they are the one making this year's Silent Hill game) so it will be hard for them
>>737696808silent hill is a gay setting though.>>737690841cool.
>>737696715>I can experience my favorite media again
>>737690841Is that Elon in a wig?
>>737692151I imagine they will. Jacking off the first three movies can produce content only so much, and Romulus has pretty good infusion of the black goo lore into it. Despite having sloppy-as-shit scripts, Prometheus and Covenant are in the upper 20% percentile of lore expansion for the series.
>>737697129kek
reminder this is creative assembly (woke creators of hyenas and woke creators of total war)and sega (ultra mega woke)so expect the protag to be an obese ugly groid bodytype 2 :^) with fresh new token characters accompanying xer :^) (within safe distance and respecthing xer safe space)
>>737697685You are mentally ill.
>>737697685They already have a black comic character that Alien has been trying to put into the games.She's called Zula Hendricks and they already made a game for her called Rogue Invasion. Good chance she'll be in this if it's a direct sequel to Isolation with Amanda Ripley returning as they share a comic together.
Is 3 and 4 worth watchingAfter I watched 2 I refused to watch 3 because of Hicks and Samuel being done dirty.I'm the biggest alien fan who's never watched 3 and 4, I've watched every other movie including Alien Earth which I actually loved outside of the terrible alien suit
>>737697847>stop noticing goyim
>>737697685I'm woke now so this issue doesn't affect me.
>>737697895Alien Earth sucked. Imagine turning the fucking xenomorph into a child's guard dog.
>>737698010There are explained reasons for it and it works
>>737691981lmao
>>737697902I have anti-woke fatigueI just want to play fun game, not worry about what politics some people who have never worked before think.
>>737698043No. It was contrived and stupid. Completely ruined the intrigue of the Alien and made it look like just another dumb animal.
>>737698106anti-woke fatigue a term only used by damage controlling leftroons
>>737692496It wasn't scary. It did nothing I hadn't seen before and gave me no reason to be scared outside the designated monster areas.
>>737690841Looks cheap and fanmade
>>737697243The black goo was one of the most retarded retcons in the series, almost as bad as anything involving the engineers
>>737698180Sorry you didn't get your Alien/Aliens rehash for the thirteenth time in a row
>>737698206You're the one that sounds like a lefty, '"everything is politics" I just want to play fun games. You want them to be about politics.
>>737698263I didn't want a rehash. I just didn't want shit, which is what we got, unfortunately. Plus it fucked up the whole timeline too. It's supposed to take place before Alien. Ripley's whole issue with Weyland getting the Alien is the implication that they'd be fucked if the Alien ever got to Earth, but according this series, they already were on Earth. Alien Earth retroactively made the whole struggle of the films pointless. Alien Earth was a mistake.
>>737698383dilate
>>737698404They ARE fucked with the alien on earth but half the point of Alien as a media is anti capitalism. These multi trillion dollars are going to cause the deaths of thousands but they'll just cover it up because the planet is beyond fucked being controlled by essentially 5 gods, abusing the common man.
>>737691852the first 6 hours are the best horror game ever made*the remaining 24 hours are the worst horror game ever made
>>737697685don't forget the Disney acquisition>woke status: omega
>>737690841omg is that sigurney!!!! get away you bitch :DD
>>737695952New character, new setting. Hopefully it's more aliens than alien that isolation was. They have a lot they could explore.>>737692151>>737697243Fuck no. I'll admit the nigger coom has basically become a staple, even the RPG accepted that, but we do not need prequel shit as canon.Alien Isolation already vetoed them by not having some remade engineer ship, it was faithful to the original.>I'll do the fingering :)))
>>737692151>Prometheus>Alien Covenant>ClassicalYep, Classical horse shit>Aliens>Reddit TierYes Anon we know, Anything you dislike is Reddit. Now heres a copy of TLJ and cookie
>>737690841So is this a planned project decided on years ago or is it a desperation move from CA just like the new Medieval 3 announcement was?
>>737690841>female leadwoke nigger shit goes into le trash
>>737692386T b h the coin flip is a retarded allegory, you know after the first transfer that that's not how it works but the game keeps throwing the allegory at you because Simon is a retard who thinks he's going to space heaven
>>737691060>Metroid Prime is 24 years oldholy nigger penis
>>737692250Absolutely bushy
>>737690841not getting my hopes up, it's been 4 years since the reveal with no news, the original dev team is probably long gone etc etcyou know the drill by now
Ellen Ripley is just flat out the coolest woman in like all of movies and tvFuck she's so awesome. Tough, just the right amount of masculinity, motherly, smart, and good at talking too
>>737698771It hasn't been 4 years, retard. The announcement was in October 2024.
>>737690841I should replay Alien Isolation in the meantime.
>>737691090One of the best movie inspired games of all times. It really captures the spirit of Alien.The only bad thing is that there is no cute Newt.
>>737695952More enemy variety.
>>737698261In fairness this one is on the fans. They had been begging for a new Alien movie for decades. They wanted answers to the mystery.And now they do. Enjoy your black goo.
>unnecessary sequel instead of a game based on Neil Blomkamp's Alien 5just let this fucking franchise die already
How do I make Alien Isolation scarier Hiding in a locker guarantees you safety at all difficulties, but it's hard to just.. *not* use them.I tried that mod that randomizes the Alien, so you could in theory go through whole sections without encountering them but they could pop out whenever. It's okay
>>737695848I'm so tired of the black goop brosWhy can't that stupid goddamn urn go away?
>>737698690You only think that because you lost the coin flip.
>>737695952Bring back my bros, the Working Joes.
>>737699351and the game unironically overstaying its welcome, shoulda been a couple hours shorter
>>737699831>Hiding in a locker guarantees you safety at all difficultiesthis is blatantly false on Hard and above as the xeno starts going through them after the third time you use them as a hiding spot
>>737690841Will this game finally explain the bonus situation?
>Yet another episode of "the crazy adventures of the Ripley lineage and their encounters with aliensâ„¢"Move on, come up with something else.
>>737700427Well, you get what you're contracted for like everybody else.
>>737692151>Prometheus >classicWhoever made this should be raped with a cactus.
>>737694861>Maybe Amanda Ripley won't be in this and you'll be a colonial marine trying to survivewould be actually nice, particularly if they make the same leap the movies did from Alien to Aliens and actually put together a decent Colonial Marines FPS Horror game>it wont be good horror if you can shoot and kill the xenomorphshave more than one on screen and have limited resources, AVP2 made me shit bricks in the colony sections in the marine campaign
>>737696665>Forget reading terminalsI beat the game again recently and most if not all the terminals were safe to read, just admit you're a baby.
>install tether remover mod, meaning the alien can effectively be anywhere in the map dynamically instead of just hugging the players ass>install insane alien mod, so it has canon hearing and will sense you rooms over if you are too loud>install quieter footsteps mod, so stompy is now semi-silently stalking, just like the moviesOh yeah, its gaming time
>>737697685>buzzwordbuzzwordbuzzwordCalm down, amerigroid, your blackness is showing.>>737698261>retconIt didn't retcon anything.
>>737699746>blomslopYeah, no thanks. The leaked script is more retarded than Resurrection, Prometheus and last half of the TV show put together.
>>737695952Them not gutting it into 6 hour cinematic tube just because shitters cried about 20 hours being too long.More corpo fuckery.
>>737695436What happened?
>>737700360I never understood this. I've played the game on every difficultly and I've literally never seen the alien check lockers. If you're not seen getting in it, the alien never checks. They just walk up to it, you pull back and hold breath and that's it. I've literally never seen anything different I have like 200 hours in the game too
>>737690841i'm on a real alien kick lately, watched all the films. thanks for reminding me about the first game
>>737695952Keeping the xenos sexy
>>737694490Go anon, kick ass.
>>737690841Why was this game so harshly criticized again? It's a horror genre classic by now.
>>737694603that's exactly when romulus takes place IIRC, between the first two movies
>>737702601Because the game ended 3 different times and then just continued.During the era it's main competitors, your outlasts, amnesia's and soma's didn't pull that stunt.As long as they can refine the 20 hours in the sequel and not have it feel like it should've ended for good multiple times, the sequel will probably be better recieved by reviwers.
>>737702601A lot of people got filtered. Also, it came just one year after Colonial Marines, so people were still bitter and pessimistic.
>>737699746Why does she have Alien armor?
>>737690841Well, they can't make Total War games to save their company. So might as well make something else.
>>737702820because bloomkapms take actually sucked majorly and so called free thinkers say otherwise
The Alien design in Isolation specifically is so fucking insanely good. Jet black, and a perfect shape and size. The human skull in the head is the cherry on top. Isolation seemed like a passione project. Best Xeno design in the entire series
>>737702710is this game decent or even playable with the mod that fixes the typo in the code that fucked the AI?
>>737703181DLC campaign is where the improvement is.Unfortunately even with the mod fix for the A.I, the base game's still kinda rough with the pacing and all the gunfights.
>>737703121It's just Big Chap with digitigrade legs, no?
>>737703314Yeah but we don't always get to see xenomorphs in the movies for extended periods with bright lights shining on them. Seeing that monster in game and it's super sleak, black design even in the light is terrifying. It's amazing that they managed to do it. Any smaller or bigger and it might not have come across the same. Any imperfections with the cartilage or whatever jutting out their back could damage the design. Even a different shade or tone of black could have been worse.Seeing the Xeno come at you in a super lit bright hallway is just as scary if not scarier than when it comes at you in a dark dim hallway. THAT is special
>First game's identity was being a "love letter" to the first (and only good) two movies>Most people agree that the first game is about 4 hours too long and pretty much takes it's gameplay style as far as you could take it.Don't get me wrong I still really like Alien Isolation but how exactly do you make a sequel to it? It just seems like mostly a creative dead end both conceptually and mechanically. Hell even the most recent Alien movie had this problem and ended up as just a "love letter" throwback to Alien/s.
>>737702601Way too much reliance on hide and seek, and about 1/3rd into the game you realize the plot is just a filler episode.
>>737702820Alien 5 was supposed to include Xenomorphic armor and weaponry, courtesy of Weyland Yutani.
>>737704473Thank god that shit got cancelled. We dodged a bullet.
>>737692969Seeing this shot with the long spike looking protrusions in the background is giving me slight Fury 117 vibes.
>>737704473That sounds retarded.
>>737704621>>737704913Alien 5 sounded like a bold step in a new direction for this lumbering, Frankenstein of a franchise. I'd rather Alien movies and games take more risks like Resurrection than endless rehashes of the 1979 original.
>>737695126gonna be honest man, this sounds like skill issue
>>737705240Resurrection fucking sucked. Innovation isn't always a good thing.
>>737705356I love Alien 3, and believe it was the perfect end to the series. Resurrection on the other hand had some goofy elements, but was ultimately a well-made, stylish spin-off.
>>737690841>80s SigourneyOoohh you motherfuckers are tempting me.But first, we need to talk about the bonus situation.
>>737705935
>>737702601The length. You just spend too much time with the alien and it stops being scary way, way before the end and becomes simply irritating. It stops making you go "oh shit oh fuck don't look over here oh fuck" and starts making you go "oh fuck off man I'm busy exploring this room, do we really have to do ANOTHER 10 minutes of hide and seek right now?".
>Alien threadAhem... Is Infestation actually a good game?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqzYjWLqgNA
>>737704305probably do the same leap as the movies like mentioned here >>737700579
>>737706080This is so nuts. I mean, look.. look at what you're posting. It's paranoid schizophrenia. How - It's really sad. It's pathetic.
>>737706631This sounds exactly like what I would expect if you asked an AI to make a rock song with lyrics based on the Alien franchise.
>>737706987The full version is even worse. It was apparently officially commissioned by Fox for Alien vs Predator, then they reused it for that game after the devs asked nicely.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgXd6Npj4ZY
>>737690841>>7376921511 >>POWERGAP>> 4 >> 2 > 3 >> RomulusNever seen Prometheus, Covenant or the Earth tv show.Don't remember AVP1-2. Might rewatch them.
>>737706969It's freaky how much Sam Altman looks like Evil Paul Reiser.
>>737707135romulus was not that badI would put it 1 > 2 > Romulus > the rest
>>737706969>"You know, Jew, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them screwing each other over for a god damn percentage."Pretty ballsy of Cameron to make the money-grubbing backstabber a jew
>>737690841
>>737705240Sounded like a retarded risk.
>>737707276the biggest problem with romulus is the member berries mixed with writing the characters as being profoundly retarded so the plot can happen, a movie sin that Alien and Aliens managed to avoid to an extent
>>737707390Aliens must've sounded just as retarded in 1985 until it blew everyone's nipples off in 1986.
>>737690841Any news on if it will be made by the SAME DEVELOPERS who made Isolation 1?This will determine whether i buy it Day 1
>>737707531Alien armor is a pretty big jump that just sounds too stupid to me.
My hot take is the second half of Alien is not that great outside of the cinematic shots and the alarm lights.I don't think Alien and Aliens are comparable either, both are way too different of movies.
Alien isolation still looks graphically insane for a decade + old game and is also insanely well optimized. I'm wondering how good this new one will look and run.
>>737695952built in VR support
>>737707276It was alright, but I'll never watch it again. Just bland and forgettable.
>>737707641Add some more polygons to round the geometry out and bump up the textures and it's good to go.
>>737707641the developers pulled every trick in the book to make the game run well, most notably the fact it's mostly tight, small corridorsif A:I 2 goes open spaces like, say, Outlast 2, it will be a different story
>>737707590Well it's Creative Assembly again.
>>737707531>sounded retarded in 1985 but became a timeless classicJust like me!
>>737690841>boomer ahh franchisethis ain't it senpai
>>737690841They're going to fuck it up by ditching the high fidelity potato-friendly baked lighting for raytracing DLSS sloppa, you just fucking know it.
>>737707641A lot of games around that era did the absolute most they could with the late 360/PS3 specs. You'll notice that games like Halo 4 also looked really good (even if the game was pretty meh) despite running on inferior hardware, the devs had learnt the tricks to make shit look good while being optimized enough.Nowadays devs just throw everything into the Unreal blender and you end up with very samey, often ugly looking shit.
>>737695952i hope they make it a online co-op extraction survival game with proximity chat and daily rewards !
>>737707614I could understand if they researched the materials and applied it to actual armor but making "Alien armor" that looks like Xenomorph carapace is retarded.
>>737690841this and hellraiser? horror chads are eating good
>>737704305the first game ends with a cliffhanger directly establishing the possibility for a sequel. i get where you're coming from though, if they make it to similar you'll just be replaying isolation instead. i'm more so wondering if it'll be a direct continuation of amanda ripley's story or a new protag.
>>737707614Supposedly, the movie would take place after WY successfully got it's hands on a queen for experimentation. It's reasonable to believe that the company, with its infinite resources, would develop a suit that would allow them to better interact with their prized test subjects.Plot shenanigans aside, Alien going from a tense, claustrophobic thriller to a gung-ho shoot-em-up in Aliens was an equally large jump that ultimately paid off. James Cameron had the foresight to try something different instead of treating audiences to the same old thing, and I wish more directors were that ballsy, to avoid making garbage like Romulus again.
>>737695952You start as a random colonist on LV-426 a few days after the first xeno has bursted and matured. You unlock more colonists and things as you play the game - including being able to play as a xenomorph, and even later as a marine. Your objective as a colonist is to survive until marines arrive so you can get on the Sulaco. Hundreds of colonists will eventually turn into hundreds of aliens. Your objective as an alien is obvious. Multiplayer of 32 and the rest are bots
>>737695561nice
>>737702601It has weird pacing. It feels like it ends about 3 times. Aside from that it’s great.
>>737691060It remains one of the top 10 VR experiences of all time, despite never having gotten an official VR mode. What's fucked is that the same guy who made the MotherVR mod was working on a similar mod for Halo Master Chief Collection, and then gave up on the project when 343 actually hired him on as an engineer.
>>737707908Can't fucking wait for Hellraiser. I just wish they didn't announce the game so early.
>>737692094It needs an actual VR mode. Steam did some update that killed the mod, last I checked.
>>737698690>the game keeps throwing the allegory at youNo it doesn't. The game never hides anything about how the scans and transfers work. Catherine tries explaining the reality of things to Simon and he doesn't listen because he's a (literal) brain-damaged retard who's also in denial. If (You) didn't get it either then you're mentally on par with him, which I guess shouldn't be a surprise.

>>737707641Resident Evil 5 and Alien Isolation are the two games I played where at the time I couldn't help but note to myself "Wow, this has no business running this well on my mid-range/aging PC." Funny they were both available on the PS360, Isolation looks infinitely better of course.

>>737690841>a 2014 videogame is better than any piece of Alien media created since 1986, 1992 at the latestHow did they do it.
>>737691852ENTER
>>737707779I remember reading a Cracked article a really long time ago saying that Predator got its start as a joke concept for a hypothetical Rocky V after he single-handedly defeated the Soviet Union, so the only viable threat at that point would be to have him fight an alien, and that idea eventually changed from boxing to hunting, and Stallone to Schwarzenegger.
>>737707908I really hope that game is good. I'm a fairly recent convert to the franchise, I think not actually having seen it until the Joe Bob marathon in 2018.
>>737708980Fox gave them terabytes of archive material: soundtrack recordings, original Ron Cobb design documents, production materials... A true treasure trove for Alien fans, and it turns out that people at CA were big fans.Works stand out when there's passion behind them.
>>737698676Aliens is objectively reddit with all their gay quips and mindless action.
>>737702179She becomes bad*ss all-but-confirmed lesbian partner to a black even more bad*ss black female marine commander with a basedjak sidekick android running a rogue-ish UACM squad running around independently the universe exterminating xenos and foiling Weyland-Yutani schemes. I think Amanda got eventually disappeared, stuck in a cryotube with some mystery illness. The android sidekick dies, but not before creating a ultra-mega badass android that takes modified appearance of Zula and kinda sees her as her mother or something. The Disney buys 20th Century Fox and I think the lore remains in freezer, although that recent VR game has Zula and the basedjak android on a spinoff adventure.
>>737709198>Works stand out when there's passion behind them.this shit is very true. it's why people still talk about the lord of the rings movies 20 years later, when the people making an adaptation of something really do enjoy it as a fan, you have a much greater chance of getting kino.
>>737709345Oh, are those the characters from the VR game that I didn't really get that far into before I lost interest?
>>737709068isolation mogs any slavslop there is
>>737709345What the fuck?
>>737709345
>>737709068I could never take this game seriously purely because every time I look at this piece of key art, all I see is a monstrous creature with an extreme version of Chris Tucker's haircut from the Fifth Element.
>>737695109A game like Alien Isolation adapting the Gibson's screenplay for Alien3 would KINO of the finest breed.

>>737709198>turns out genuinely passionate people dealing with a subject matter they care for can create good artWho fucking knew, someone should tell the modern movie and videogame industries.
>>737709629Was William Gibson's draft the one that had the Xeno virus that could turn people into xenomorphs? As if Aliens didn't have enough body horror...
>>737694492No, the devs were clearly heavily inspired by Alien and almost ignored Aliens. There is no way they will even think of including anything after Alien 3.
>>737690841IT'S ALIVE!BY GOD IT'S ALIVE!
>>737709674That means I get VR, so I'm fine with this.
I found Alien Earths main premise of "technology being indistinguishable from magic" to be fucking incredible. I hope we get to see more of it, it's such a cool concept. I hope we get to see Hybrids or Cyborgs in Isolation 2.
>>737709535I liked how they made her look almost like a racist caricature in the first comic and then overcorrected into straight up afro-bimbo dipped in tea.
>>737709802What the fuck are they even gonna do in Season 2?
>>737709407https://www.pcgamer.com/the-making-of-horror-masterpiece-alien-isolation-it-was-a-giddy-exhausting-intense-time/They really went over and beyond.
>>737690841Fuck yes.Isolation was a really cool game.Biggest problem I had was it felt too on rails given the size of the map. I hope the sequel has more organic exploration.
>>737696808>many important people of the original game left the studio to make another studio (they are the one making this year's Silent Hill game)Huh, the focus on the low-fi stuff like the CRTV and the leaning did reminded me of a Isolation somehow

>>737710049
John Hurt, Yaphet Kotto, Harry Dean Stanton and Ian Holm are dead. What's wrong with you people?
>>737709068Darkwood just wasn't for me. It is a fun game and all, but I find the top down view really limits the horror. It works a bit better in turn based games because of how slowly you expand the vision and how movement is a resource. Once you have revealed, you have already expended resources you need to deal with it.

>>737710264>>737709068The first nights were legit scary, but you eventually figure out the rules and realize the game cannot truly threaten you in a way that would force you out of your comfort zone of corner camping a room with fewest windows and doors with a shotgun. Still, a great, atmospheric survival exploration action game.
>>737696297Last year was 4 years ago bro...

>>737710049I really do admire the cinematography and production design of Resurrection. Almost feels like the design goal was "What's the closest we can get this to look like an actual H.R. Giger painting?"
>>737711576Giger said he appreciated what the director did and that he liked the movie.
>>737698732Hmmm. Oh I am old

>>737711869I needed alcohol just to watch the first episode. I hated every second of it. Not gonna waste my time on that shit. Might be the first alien property where I've done that. I've watched the other movies and they were terrible, but earth is on another level. It's written like a 12yos alien fanfic.Hoping isolation 2 will be as great or better than the first. They knew how to do it so surely?I think that high expectation is what will lead to everyone's disappointment, but crossing fingers
>>737712372Would actually be kinda kino if done right. Ss13 could've scratched that itch, but none of the servers have proper the thing or alien antags.
>>737711347>>737712372It's just the single most fucking BASED being to have ever livedT.Ocellus control creatures by gouging an eye out and burrowing itself in the eye-socket and tentacle-raping the brain
>>737712296I've always thought it was a fantastic looking and sounding movie, a few jank rod puppet compositing shots aside, but it is just such a unnecessarily bleak and cruel movie to find any enjoyment out of, after everything Ripley had been through in Aliens. If it had been just another unrelated story involving a defunct penal colony, I would have loved it. For a movie supposedly mangled through studio interference, it feels like a very un-studio movie, considering how openly antagonistic it is toward Aliens, which turned the franchise into a merchandising juggernaut, practically another Star Wars for Fox.

>>737713348>Alien is a great movieShould say Aliens is a great movie. I like Aliens, but I understand that it forever changed the direction of the series and not in a good way.
>>737713573I think they had orders to recover them without destroying them, but I could be mistaken about that. They could always just capture them and wipe their memories, but they're too valuable to just destroy.

>>737692068I was so disappointed with SOMA when it came out, and I am shocked to know it has a dedicated following. It was such a gameplay downgrade from Penumbra and Amnesia.
>>737695952unironically a shorter game
>>737714026Literally Jiren btw.
>>737695952This cool silly little guy
were not on a ship anymore? I don't like that
>>737695173They mostly fixed that in the current version of the game, I feel. They don't relentlessly hunt you, forcing you into an endless and exhausting hide and seek match anymore. Played on hard a few months ago, took about 12 hours. The only times they wouldn't fuck off is when I made a lot of noise, or some other asshole did.
>>737691949>could just be a remaster, don't get your hopes upIt's on LV-426
I don't get the complaint that the game is too long. The only chapter I remember disliking was the weird mall level in the middle of the game, apart from that it was amazing.
what if the alien became a liberal
>>737692151Gr8 b8 m8 I r8 it 8 of 8.
>>737714465We are supposed to believe that Weyland had this level of tech 70 years before Seegson made the working joe.

>>737715550game peaks here
>>737715210You could just say in Prometheus that the trip was funded by Weyland, which explains all the high-tech shit, because in Alien Covenant, which takes place like 10 years later, you see the settlers have AR-15s instead of the plasma guns like the last movie.

Disney achieved the impossible with Alien Earth. They actually managed to create an even more insufferable Mary Sue than Rey.
Alien 3 is a beautiful mess and I would like to say one thing about it. The stasis pod ejection system on the Sulaco is retarded, it's 99% fatal.
I'm generous with isolation as a proof of concept that nailed the basic idea of what an alien game should be, but for a sequel outing they really need to solve the issues that were present in the first game. when you get down it most of AI was basically a find a table simulator. >is the alien far enough away from me to risk walking to the objective? ok keep track of all available tables. oop the alien is walking over here better find a table fast. crouchwalk round and round and repeatthat was just enough interaction with working joes and the flamer to space out the game but that isn't going to be good enough in a second outing. they need to find an additional layer of educated guesses besides just making your way to the nearest cheese spot when you hear footsteps.
>wanted to replay it>Alias Isolation constantly crashes the game
>>737720891That really was not my experience. What difficulty did you play on?
>>737721410hard, recommended difficulty. that's what the game basically became for me, wait until the alien walks in the opposite direction and keep track of suitable cover for cheesing the alien. it's not terrible gameplay but there needs to be more to it. a more reliable way to map out and predict the alien's navigation and be graded on that.
>>737705330being corraled into an extremely linear experience that totally wastes it's own setting on one big scripted mr x section isn't a skill complaint. i beat it on 3 varyong difficulties because i wanted to like the game. easy was the most fun though because it's the only difficulty where the alien isn't just constantly within 10 feet of you rendering the game a completely monotonous chore. make the map interconnected, hide various tools behind difficult chase sections, make the secrets more meaningfully hidden, provide some breathing room with the alien, make hide and seek with the xeno less of a dice roll (make some hiding areas less likely to be found but put them on high risk routes for example)skill issue is a nothing statement on a game that provides an easy mode. this isn't a bullet hell or something, it's a forst person action game. youre trying to flaccidly ignore my point>>737720891this is a very concise criticism of the game. the roteness of the gameplay made me wonder what i was even doing halfway through

>>737702215I dunno anon. I've had motion detector tracking, so I know the alien didnt' see me, and yes I know it can hear the motion tracker. it's pulled me out of lockers. It's camped the lockers hidden to pounce as soon as I leave in a different animation than normal. I know the more you hide in lockers, the more it checks.
>>737702601Journalists played on easy mode, and never got to understand what the fuck the alien did.
>>737693760>>737722979Basically, it was about a dozen guys from the actual CA, and then a hundred more that were contract workers who only ever were at CA for that specific game. If you look at the A:I2 credits, the majority of people in leading positions were in assistant positions when they worked on the first game.
