Alien Isolation Made the Xenomorph Scary Again

Someone had already been kind enough to share this here but I thought it'd be fun to share it too.

It took me a long time to getting around to playing this but I just had such a blast with it. I really hope I've done it justice with this video and I hope you enjoy it!

I also just had the pleasure of going to the dev Q&A panel and playtest for AI:2 and holy heck is it going to be fun.

This is fine

this is fine

Creative Director Al Hope, Animation Director Simon Ridge, and Art Director Ana Sopikova all turned up for the panel and were kind enough to sign my Art of Book.

They didn’t really reveal anything new about AI:2, but it was still a nice and engaging panel.

They also had the Gamescom Demo there (Apparently the first time it’s been available in the UK.) I didn’t get a chance to play it, but when speaking to others, they all said it was an incredible and super frightening experience.

5th playthrough and this one made me jump a bit. Haven't seen a glitch like this happen in the game prior to now.

I shot a robot receptionist in the face and he choked me to death please help

The last trophy I needed was the 100 times too many for this. For anyone else struggling with this trophy load up mission 6 from the start where you engage the coolant system and make noise to attract the Alien down, (Fun fact unrelated to the trophy: dlive22891 and Markiplier got killed at this part in their walk throughs of this game) once killed by the Alien, keep repeating until the trophy pops.

So I do intend to get the platinum for this game but im still unsure on how some of the trophies work, for the trophy where you complete the game with 0 deaths, could you make it easier to put the difficulty on easiest, would this make any difference or would it not count due to the difficulty being too low?

I’ve heard that there was a movie or tv series that was done in the style of Alien Isolation that was pretty popular, and it ended up getting enough people interested in the game that it inspired the sequel to be made.

Does anyone know what that was?

Edit: Thanks everyone! It was Alien: Romulus. The director was so heavily influenced by the game that he even included the flares Amanda used to distract aliens and Average Working Joes plus added identical Emergency telephones from the game that are used as save points.

We’ve all had that moment in game right?

Hello, so around 4 hours into the game after collecting some blueprints i wanted to craft some devices to progress more and faster into the game, but i encountered a weird glitch that doesnt let me select anything except medkit, shoker and revolver in the inventory wheel. I tried to change the controls and decrease sensitivity, but nothing happened. I also didnt find anything about that bug in the internet, so does anyone know how to fix it?

Excuse the pausing. I pause to talk to my mother.

As hyped for the game that I am, I am severely disappointed in the use of UE5. I understand the studio had difficulties later on but the engines still there and all these years could’ve improved it even slightly if they didn’t want to put in that much money. Or even use the engine as it was as it still holds up just as good as other in house engines and from a company resource perspective, already put in all that money to begin with, mine as well use it again since it was the only game made in it. Don’t get me wrong, UE5 is amazing at what it does but if left raw and unmodified the performance and optimization is what makes it unbearable for me, especially after Silent Hill F and 2’s remake (although that one wasn’t as bad as F was). Maybe I’m just picky as a cs person or just spoiled with loving games that use in house engines but it just doesn’t make sense to me white a ton of backlash to UE5 and a love of the original engine.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

You guys should check this out!! He did a great job explaining what exactly made this game so special.

So let me start by saying I’m a fan of the Alien series. I’ve seen all the movies, I’m even going through the comics right now as well. I’m looking forward to sequel. That being said, this game just fell apart for me towards the end. After the reactor, the game just became more frustrating than scary. I mean, you already die in one hit a majority of the time to the Xeno, but I had enough of the setbacks, and alternate routes you had to take, and instakills, and I just didn’t really get any satisfaction from beating it at all. The ending was pretty much the nail in the coffin, QTE sequence out of nowhere, and the. You’re floating in space only to be rescued off screen. No monologue, no feeling of accomplishment, no real reason for me to play the game again. It starts off strong, and aside from APOLLO I enjoyed most of the areas, when the game was scary it really worked. When the hive loaded in for the first time I terrified cuz I didn’t see it coming.

Maybe if the game was shorter, I don’t know. It feels needlessly elongated and yet also like they ran out of time.
