Alien: Isolation

Quote from Rick_D

my only problem with this is the alien AI design - it's just Amnesia? it doesn't feel like an alien - just a big clunky monster that walks around and doesn't seem to so much as hunt you as just wander around and let you run 5 metres behind it?

maybe it makes it more atmospheric and perhaps even makes for better design and more "hilarious" amnesia-like youtube reaction videos but it just doesn't feel like an actual alien so far..

That's probably because it's not the same medium rick, we are used to see that monster design in a movie format with creepy effects like close shots on his funny second mouth or see him only as a passing shadow in the ceiling while other caracters are terrified etc..

But since you have control on the camera angle in a fps and can see the alien in full, not just bribes that suggest its presence, i guess it's not the same effect.

Puddy oh yes! leather, cigarette burns and razor blade cuts while having to restart videogames from the beginning

There's no saying it's done the Frictional Games way. I'm thinking more like Clock Tower 3 with modular scare moments.

Hey guys I just found a Mapcore easter egg in the original Alien film (kinda):

awesome!

That colour palette!

Pre-ordered this today for PS4 on Amazon, it looks amazing! Playing Outlast has reminded me how much of a pussy I am, so I'm sure pants will be shat. Awesome work boys

How many times have you had to watch Alien now guys? I could think of worse things to do. Dickheads.

I think I've been forced to sit through the whole film 3 times so far, we have several wall-mounted TVs in the studio of which always at least one is playing the movie on loop 24/7.

thats a nice way to ruin one of your favourite movies

It reminds me of that scene in 28 Days Later when they're forcing the chimps to watch violent footage over and over to condition them to be.. violent.

I don't know what I'm being conditioned to do at CA, but I do feel very calm about having to blow up an industrial mining vessel, if ever that situation should crop up.

I'm kinda glad I'm not either of you tbh. I mean it'd be awesome to work on an Alien game... but like Pampers said, great way to ruin one of your favourite films

It's still one of my favourite films, and in fact, maybe even more so now than before I started working on this game.. You pick up on a lot of smaller details that you don't realise went into the production of it. Incredible what they managed to do considering when the film was made!

I must admit total war was one of my favourite game series, but now, not so much. But i least i know a shitload of things about classical architecture, ancient urban organisation, and ted&bob unfortunately.

I don't think I'd actually seen it before I started at CA.

I hate you more everyday, sneddon.
