I just saw that Creative Assembly announced a sequel for Alien: Isolation on the 10th anniversary of the game (today or yesterday) thats huge news.

[@smugbowkid9919]

Isolation is so unbelievably amazing that really the only major criticism I see levied at it is how long it is- which is honestly perfectly fair, it is a little stretched. Definitely a baseline for how I think Alien should be handled.

[@ASSLEVANIA]

I was so entrenched in the atmosphere that didn’t bother me as much. My two criticisms are pretty minor; I wish the alien moved vertically more, crawling on walls etc. and the other being the lack of acid blood damage to the player or hull. It would be really cool to see that actually implemented in a game as permanent damage to the environment, but I guess that would be a nightmare to program.

[@joelociraptorgaming80]

Isolation is still one of my fav horror games to date. I replay it every October and the AI makes this game fresh every time, never knowing when the alien will show up. I've noticed how boring horror games can be when you know the scares are coming: ie. I love Dead Space Remake and last night I started it for the spooky season, and was immediately taken out of the horror of it. Knowing exactly when all the scares are coming (as I played the original game like 10-15 times) kind of kills the horror and turns it into more of an action game.

[@x-ScaryBerry-x]

@@joelociraptorgaming80​​⁠You could say the same about thing about several of the enemy placements in the OG games, too. And they’re especially important to memorize if you’re doing a Hardcore run in Dead Space 2. The intensity director of the Dead Space Remake is supposed to randomize encounters to a degree. It must be slacking on your current run. That being said, even knowing when enemies are going to show up, I still manage to get spooked no matter which Dead Space game I play.

[@joelociraptorgaming80]

@@x-ScaryBerry-x I was thinking the same thing about the intensity director for DS Remake. But I still know exactly when a vent will drop out a necromorph and exactly when I'm going to get ambushed from the front and back. I do find the spooky thing about DSR is the speed of the necromorphs when they break into a sprint. Also, the sheer darkness of the ship combined with the ambient noises is fantastic. I still play this game every October as part of my horror playlist.

It's a shame you maybe aren't that into strategy games, Dark Descent is far from perfect, but the stress mechanics (ripped pretty much straight outta the Aliens TTRPG) make it very good at evoking a similar kinda tension as Isolation.

[@JazzForYourSoul]

Literally could not be better timed, the creative director of Alien Isolation has confirmed early stage development for a sequel

[@robjsmiles]

It's not a miracle cure but Colonial Marines is worth a try with TemplarGFX's ACM Overhaul mod. That modified typo line of code DOES make a difference, before the aliens couldn't recognise all the environmental markers placed all around for them to use and just made a beeline for you to easily kill. After they run and hide for an ambush, climb the walls, leap around and seem to come at you from different angles. You probably can't melee them without taking damage either. The friendly AI is made a bit more capable depending on difficulty too.

[@khep741]

Yes. Was looking for this mention.

[@PeJota615]

I love Alien: Isolation. I never felt it ran too long, though I can see how the constant high level of stress that game creates can feel exhausting. But I love how even late into the game they find new ways to keep you on your toes, and even new environments and objectives within Sevastopol. The entire xeno nest and generator sequence is fantastically creepy, and venturing outside the station in the big clunky space suit while everything is falling apart is a great bit as well.

If I could offer a game to potentially play, it would be "Zombie Army Trilogy." (ZAT) It was originally released for PC under the name, "Natzi Zombie Army." The game was a spin off of the Sniper Elite game series, which is all about stealth. The Devs (Rebellion) decided to make a spin off that featured zombies. Its essentially what Undead Nightmare was for Red Dead Redemption. It was successful, so they did a sequel. When they made the 3rd game, they repackaged it as a Trilogy and changed the name. The game (ZAT) essentially plays like a 3rd Person Left 4 Dead, but set in WW2. And Rebellion, while a small studio, has been around for a long time & are veterans. They are based in the UK. Their games get so little acknowledgement that I feel like giving them a shout out. And, ZAT is a good game, if you like 3rd person shooters. There is also a Zombie Army 4.

[@bobbyevans8136]

OOF. No Aliens: Dark Descent mention? Disappointed in you. Edit: posted around the Aliens Fireteam Elite since it was near the end of the video without Dark Descent getting it's own section.

Aliens is my favorite arcade game, and it feels great to hear a big youtuber talk about it. I agree that it's got a lot of jank and many "gotcha" moments that will catch people during their first playthrough, but once you know what to look out for it's a very fun game. Feels like it's held together with duct tape and rubber bands, and I wouldn't have it any other way. 1CCing the game during a trip in Japan was one of the greatest moments of my life.

As a former 1990 ALIENS Arcade game player who used to finish the game with a single quarter I must say you got it all wrong. The game is actually very easy if you learn the enemy patterns, the proper weapons to use and advance SLOWLY. The flamethrower is the BEST weapon of the whole game. You should have it in the elevator level since the smartgun and the rockets damage the lift cables. There are three missiles in top of the APC that can be used by pressing the crouch-shot button. Those are useful when there are many enemies in front. And the Queen can be defeated without destroying her if you damage her enough so she starts changing colors from blue to purple. As soon as the airlock door opens you can lift her using the Powerloader and tapping quickly the crouch-shot button until you move her into the airlock and throw her into space.

I got to play Extermination at least once in an arcade, it was pretty neat. Did remind me of playing Alien 3: The Gun as a kid. Also, my favorite part of Aliens: Infestation is learning about the Credits Music of that game, done by the band called "Holy Light of Demons" lol. It's GLORIOUS.

The Alien franchise really has been treated decently in every medium it has appeared in. The movies, the novels, the comics, the games...not everything is a winner by any stretch, but compared to most franchises that are as expansive as Alien is at this point, it has fared pretty well.

Hearing Alien trilogys E1M1 music for the first time in decades has me scared to turn the lights off

[@Ternalin]

Thank you for that, Alien Trilogy used to terrify me as a child too... something about that music from the first level and the limited draw distance.

I remember hearing somewhere with Resurrection that the design philosophy was something along the lines of if the testers complained about a segment being too hard then they'd just make it harder, truly psychopath game design.

Gotta love that the also left the silent strafe walk in isolation all this time too for anyone doing second or further runs.

Alien Trilogy on PS1 is my first alien game and it was really a fun eerie shooter game for kid me and friend back then, we had a blast just shrieking and blasting things in that game.
