MULTI Alien Isolation OT: In Space .. There is no content in OP !

[Chandoo]

Hey guys .. no one cares about this ?

well to be honest i only made this cause the game's leaked on PS3 already

for those who dont know this is the somewhat BETTER Alien franchise game .. its set between Alien 1 and 2 and features Ripley's daughter as the protagonist.

what sets it apart is that there's only ONE alien, and its unkillable. This is more of a run-hide game. The only things you can kill are other humans and synthetics.

 

[Journeys End]

oh but i do care...a lot

but waiting for its PC ver to leak coz so far it looks pretty impressive

 

[manigamer]

well gonna try this one too as i did the previous alien, though this one is looking better...

The temptation to play it on PS3 is high. But must resist to play on PC instead .

I missed the first one but will most probably get this for the PS4 given the high creep factor involved. I really hope they do not mess it up.

I don't think Alien: Isolation should be classified as survival-horror. Survival-action tag would be more appropriate in my opinion. Heart-thumping moments aside, I doubt this game has the ability to make people scream out in fear.

I've been following this game's progress for a long time. Creative Assembly has done great work and they've been very careful to capture the authentic feel of 'Alien' by copying actual audio and art-style from the movie.

This game is a must-play as far as I'm concerned. Just waiting for the right opportunity.........

Some non spoilery images and impressions from the first 20 minutes of the game:

- Looks like an exploration based games, already finding crafting components for things the player can create
- 70's style 'future technology' all around. Very good reimagining of the technology shown in the first Alien movie
- Good lighting, but things look a bit aliased if you stop and look at them.
- Frame rate is solid in-game, however all the video scenes seem to be a bit choppy (anyone whose played Wolfenstein on PS3/360 would know what i mean).
- No Alien so far.


Screens:


Cutscenes:

Meet Ripley's daughter.

The setup is simple, reach a place, find out its already been fucked up by something .. proceed.



In - Game

Good lighting here and there, i would imagine the next-gen versions will look great

The opening 'waking area' is straight out of Alien (the first one)

Another homage to Alien. Dallas's cookoo bird, also seen in Alien vs Predator (which was an homage to Alien 1 as well) .. yes i'm an Alien and Predator franchise fanatic.

Manual save spots !!.. fuck u call of duty check points !

More atmospheric and moody lighting. I imagine the next-gen version will probably be heavy on the light sources in areas like this.

Reflective surfaces .. at least they didnt butcher the shit out of the PS3 version I suppose.

Random character interaction with people who are probably going to die soon.

So far the game seems very promising. Would be interesting to see how it holds up when the action starts.

@Chandoo: Where did you get the game from? Not up on IPT.

Edit: Holy hell, these screenshots look ugly :/. There is a vaseline like blur and it doesn't appear to be native res either.

black cat games, it looks OK in motion .. lots of post process effects like fogging etc that don't show in still shots, though yeah its a 2014 game on a 2005 hardware

 

[Chandoo]

Played more last night and finally ran into the Alien. But wasn't able to take a clear shot of it because the game doesn't pause when you press the Home key, it keeps running. Anyway, even on the last-gen, the lights are fully dynamic, i-e you walk into, or can hit, hanging bulbs etc and they'll sway with the force causing the lighting to flicker and move around too.

Managed to find a handgun too, but so far have only used it to kill a cyborg. Only hide and seek with humans so far, no real 'encounters'.

I tried to take shots with the radar tracker, like the PS4 shot that we've seen, the screen does become focused on the radar and everything else becomes out-of-focus, unfortunately you need to hold down a button to keep the radar up, and when i press the home key, the radar drops down ..

can't take screens of that thing unfortunately. It is a very similar effect to the PS4 version though (but obviously with current-gen fidelity).

isn't there a toggle button for the radar ?

 

[bobama]

Man I can't wait to play this game. Please tell me it's scary.

 

[Chandoo]

No, its a hold-down thing. You gotta hold down R1 (or R2 in my case after re configuring) to keep seeing the radar. That's why when I press the home key to take a screenshot, the radar goes down.

Yep, its plenty scary. There's some really good sound design for areas where you think the Alien might pop up. The Alien also seems to pop out completely randomly .. there's no 'obvious' scripting behind when or where he might come out of.

In other words it's exactly like Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The use of weapons may slightly change it though. How's the story by the way?

 

[Chandoo]

Story is a thin lining .. you're Ripleys' daughter looking for the flight recorder of the Nostromo, but when you land in the space station where the recorder is being held, you find out its been already fucked up by something and most of the crew is gone and those that are left have basically become crazy for survival... and there's an alien.

There are a lot of computer terminals that fill in the back story of the station via memos and audio recordings etc

The alien design is from the first movie, like a huge 9 feet tall alien, not the cannon fodder aliens from the sequel.

 

[Chandoo]

Ok .. i will not hesitate in admitting that this game has given me quite a few jump scares already, especially in relation to the damn alien.

pro tip: even if the damn motion tracker is showing all clear, it is NOT advisable to sprint everywhere ..the Alien can and *will* come charging at you from any blind corner, and its always an instant death.

 

[manigamer]

yeah the aliens are damn real in this one like if they get u UR DEAD.... saw that in the trailers etc.. they have made it real close to reality in that regard

 

[Chandoo]

this GIF is a very good representation of how i've died a few times in the game now. If you make too much noise, whether by sprinting, using guns, flares or even hitting the walls with your melee wrench... expect this to happen:

aka, you need to be as quiet in this game as possible to survive and listen to which corridors and whcih air vents the alien's hissing sounds are coming from and AVOID going in those directions. The sound design is really good and important to this game like Dead Space's was.
