Other Places: USCSS Nostromo (Alien: Isolation)

Other Places is a series of short films celebrating beautiful videogame worlds.

[@swish007]

this game was worth buying for me just for the ability to walk around a gorgeous reproduction of the nostromo. they got everything pretty much perfect.. so nostalgic!

[@otherplaces]

It was very close! You might enjoy this incredibly nerdy thing I wrote about it for PC Gamer: www.pcgamer.com/how-authentic-is-alien-isolation/

[@PeteCastellano]

Absolutely beautiful. This game is a dream come true.

[@Spectans1]

You mean a nightmare come true :)

This is what a used spaceship salesman shows to prospective clients ... "please ignore the noises in the vents"

The original industrial design by Ron Cobb withstood the test of times pretty well. And it has been rather influential to Gaming, Television and movies ever since.

[@Rubashow]

I always wonder how the engineering departement thought: "Gerry, your vision for the ship is far to bright and hospitable, make it darker and more unwelcoming. Also add a lot of steaming pipes here and there, for no reason."

[@elektra81516]

It's utilitarian, this isn't some luxury space cruiser it's a simple mining ship. Imagine building a nuclear submarine with pure aesthetics in mind, it would be a waste of time, money and resources and would be unsafe since the main purpose is to keep the crew alive and launch torpedoes. Exposed piping and electronics makes maintenance much easier so there is a reason as to why they're everywhere.

[@Rubashow]

@@elektra81516 I disagree sligthly. My point wasn't that everthing should by sparkly and shiny, rather that the design of the mining ship is excessively gloomy. It is dark and confusing as to be unpractical again. In a nuclear sub, you would have lighting everywhere, you would not have random steeming pipes and the newer ones have considerable comfort for the crew, compared to older subs. Incidentally: The Nostromo itself is built for comfort. It is white and welcoming.

Easily my favorite one to date, and makes me wish all the more for an Alien: Isolation spectator mode.

[@otherplaces]

There's a way to access a free camera if you want to poke around the levels. Check out the Dead End Thrills forum for instructions. PC only, though.

[@technologic21]

One of the greatest games ever made.

[@igordiklic2485]

Brilliant game, so underrated!! Super video from you, thank you!!

[@olentangy74]

I realy like the bottle of Hienz ketchup on the galley table at 12:00, lol.

[@DavidThomasFilms]

These videos are amazing, keep up the good work. Subscribed!

[@JaspersDadders]

Thanks for taking time to record and share this!

[@MrAdam802]

this game is AMAZING!!

[@otherplaces]

Re: the comment about the jaggies: this was recorded with everything set to ultra/max. There's no decent anti-aliasing in Isolation, unfortunately.

[@schwarzerregen9338]

it's just PC Master elitist getting upset that it's not beyond max settings, great video!!

[@Tclans]

gorgeous!

[@czr7j9]

They didn't miss a detail in this map, it would be good if they could do something similar for Aliens and Ignoring colonial marines.

[@rickdeckardbr2603]

Excelente recreación de los interiores de la Nostromo👍👍se ven igual q en la pelicula 🎥 realmente un genio el q hizo esto!!

[@VladXXX]

BEAUTYFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrzejgralak5329]

[@deksam101]

SPOILER ALERT: Yup falls from the ceiling at the back of the room at middle screen @ 1:11

[@otherplaces]

The alien is in here, very briefly. Can you spot it?

[@rouzbehba1780]

Batman's voice : WHERE IS IT??? WHERE IS THE ALIEN???

[@ralphgus87]

Yes it is!! Very VERY briefly, but you can see it. ;)

[@ForgottenRomeo]

Oh my god when you see it... Scary as all hell. 1:10

[@rouzbehba1780]

ForgottenRomeo I'd say creepy as hell !

[@lexmirnov]

but where?!

[@MaliceRegret]

This one is my favorite so far. Witcher Wild Hunt would be great to see here. There are so many games you can do this with that I would love. Batman, Last of Us, Uncharted, Red Dead Redemption!

[@MaliceRegret]

MaliceRegret and then I see Red Dead as I browse your page more. watching that one now!

[@sionyn]

That music.....

[@sharpie3811]

This is 9 years old, but I don’t care. Jerry Goldsmith is a legend.

[@MrILikeBreadsticks]

Some suggestions: Deus Ex : Human Revolution The Uncharted games Half Life 2 Love your stuff by the way:)

[@otherplaces]

I've done Half-Life 2 already, and Deus Ex is on the list. Cheers!

[@MrILikeBreadsticks]

:DDDD You replied! Deus Ex HR is my most favourite game ever, thanks for that:)

[@Hush_Fairwind]

Please, if it is possible, do a video like this of Alice Madness Returns!

[@Heavyrain211]

Please do it with Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition! :)

[@otherplaces]

I'm planning on it! Watch this space.

[@rouzbehba1780]

Do Middle Earth : The Shadow of Mordor

[@otherplaces]

It's on the list!

[@ProSitesBuilder]

It's very nice, except for all the jagged edges everywhere. I am a huge fan, but the jagged edges is very distracting... Oh and alien drops down in server room. I beat that level already VERY FUN. I want a multiplayer option for just the NOSTROMO DLC's (Player controlled Ashe and Alien) Would be fun! I am all for no multiplayer in the story mode though.
