Darth VeX Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EWe69vP1pA]How Scary is Alien Isolation? - YouTube[/ame] For a non-review, this works out quite well as a promotional review video. It definitely made me excited for the game, and excited to see my wife play it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickableLemons7 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Alien: Isolation looks great visually, but I'm still worried that the game will be a linear haunted house ride with no replay value. Some gameplay they've shown us above is similar to what they showed us back in January. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbv9rs9bVOE]Alien: Isolation Gameplay Commentary - YouTube[/ame] Hopefully the xenomorph AI is dynamic. I'd like to see more open areas as well, and hopefully there's multiple paths to take around the station (like maybe there's more than one way to get beyond that bulk door besides using a blowtorch on it).

Lavindathar Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think you can also make games like this scary. I only play tense/survival horror games with the lights out, headphones on loud, and then everything makes me jump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylose Kepeli Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yeah, I hope this game is as good as it looks. We need a good Alien game. My new Turtle Beaches will be perfect for this game. These kinds of games do not usually have a high replay value aside from achievement mop ups. I do hope I'm wrong about it. If I'm not then I hope the story/gameplay compensate greatly.

BlackoutCal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Oh I really want this game to be good - I want it to scare the crap out of me. That way it doesn't matter if it is re-playable or not, will be too scared to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Eh, it's IGN. Will wait to see PewDiePie play it. At least you know it would be more genuine than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just use PewDiePie and genuine in the same sentence? *runs to window to look for flying pigs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X23rdProdigyX Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looks like it will be in the style of the original movie where it is only one xenomorph. Seems like it could be pretty terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duality Artist Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I wouldn't use the word genuine when talking about PewDiePie but that doesn't mean he isn't fun to watch or good at what he does. A little annoying... YES. IGN's video of the staff playing this game was AMAZING and made the game look REALLY good and scary. I will definitely be picking this up. Reminds me of a game I used to play called RLH: Run Like Hell http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/4865/852875-563567_front.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRIDAY M0RTIMER Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Games usually don't scare me, especially things like aliens... but the game does look white-knuckle tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmont92 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 They had talked about the fact that the gameplay isnt the same twice due to the AI of the xenomorph. Hopefully this will prove true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLfan2468 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Here's my setup: Audio Technica ATH-M50 studio monitor headphones Astro Mixamp Pro (simulated surround sound) Turning the volume almost midway on the mixamp with the lights turned off/playing at night and I'm jumping at noises left and right. This game is super intense and don't let others deter you from getting it. The hype is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quid Squid Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) spoiler-ish I guess? I just started playing and that part at the end of chapter 2 waiting for the tram...holy shit Edit: I just learned you could die there, I thought it was just the devs trying to tense you up for nothing. The music was going for me and getting more intense and I never saw anything, then a friend told me that was his first death. I love this game Edited October 9, 2014 by Quid Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 From what GameSpot said, the xenomorph's AI is unscripted and it doesn't act the same way twice. Hopefully they're right, because this would make achievement mop-up a bit more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they're right, because this would make achievement mop-up a bit more exciting. Ya it's definitely VERY random. The first time I attempted the mission where you shouldn't die to the alien to get an achievement, I must have died 20 times. I get frustrated and head to bed. Next day I played some more from the same checkpoint and I didn't see him at all until the last stretch of the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oORuffusOo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Haven't even seen the damn alien yet and this game has me jumping like a b**ch. It's gonna be a rough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibbity Floid Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 On Crew Expendable, Lure The Alien Into The Air Ducts? Hot. Damn. I've never had jumps like this in broad daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuiltyAsSin163 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 ive only just started playing it and im finding it very scary, ive only just started to encounter the Alien but already he has made me have a heart attack, if anything the atmosphere in this game is amazing, loving it so far as much as i can love it being scared out of my mind!

Ham Woopan Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 In Chapter three I think there's a room you need to enter by rewiring a panel. There's an ID tag in there and some spooky music. I won't spoil anything but I'll just say try to do everything in the room. I had no idea that anything would happen and was actually scared enough that my heart sank. I thought it couldn't be done. I haven't been scared by a game since I was a kid and I expected this game just to be general jump scares. I am extremely happy with it so far. And I actually did die at that tram bit at chapter 2. That part was extremely unnerving too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part was extremely unnerving too. Dude - bought it Friday and said "I'll clear as much as I can on the weekend" Played from about 10pm til 3am getting to just seeing the xeno but not really encountering...went to sleep(ish) I actually had to build up courage to play the next day. I wound up playing mostly Destiny and when jumping back on, what should've been a maybe 6 or so minute walk around a corridor to get a pass code and keycard took 45 minutes bc I kept accidentally hitting something with my wrench or running/accessing a door and that little "warning blip" to check your motion detector sent my muscles into convulsions hahaha. The atmosphere is SOoOOooooOoo spot on! I actually didn't wind up dying until the encounter with the androids in chapter 2. I was and sneaky up until that point Fuckers pulled me right out of the locker! I didn't back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Best parts IMO so far is when you all by yourself and the Alien, trying to figure out a way to the exit/next objective. Gets really intense when this big creature is walking around or is right next to you. Great atmopshere for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibbity Floid Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I love using him to get rid of other humans about. I tossed a flashbang and didn't realize he must have come down a vent behind me. I heard that approaching thudding and he ran right past me! Then of course, I had to worry about me being next. It's a constant struggle haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I lost track how many times I scared the shit out of myself by just putting on the gas mask. I thought an alien or facehugger got me right there LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
