Alien Isolation, What do we think?

I hope this game isn't another let down like aliens colonial marines was. That could have been such an amazing game
 
I can't wait to play this game. There is a huge review and a lot of pictures in the months edition of Game Informer.
 
Can we please make a new thread here to discuss the release of this game? Not much need to revive this old news thread.

Name it "Alien Isolation, What do we think?" or something along those lines.
 
I am not going to pre order this on steam although i have been watching its progress for a while "even though the game play footage you see today is the same footage they showed when they 1st showed game play footage at the start o the advertizing campaingn"

Perosnally i have decided to look at the game as a Surrvival horror that just happens to have aliens in it.
I really do like survival horror games. so aslong as they set a good atmosFEAR in the game and it makes me jump and genuinly fear for my life and also not give me stupid quick save "i hate quick save" and instead force me to get to a safe room or similar to save i will be happy with it.
if it actually turns out to do the above and be true to the alien film(s) i will be verry happy with it.

but if it turns out to be doom 3 with quick save and aliens then i wont bother. (it looks like it could go that way as well)
 
I'm actually really excited for this game, but I probably will not buy it at launch. I'm a huge fan of the alien franchise and would love to have a good Alien action horror game.

I'm going to wait for reviews and the opinions of SuB etc on the forums.
 
How quick are AMD normally on getting the game keys out, from their rewards ? This is one of the only games I've been looking forward to, in a while .
 
Well i got it on CDKeys since i had a £5 voucher.. made it cheap. I've downloaded and installed it.. but it's dark so.. nope
 
Yeah it's available now on Steam.

Why don't you like it Sub? It's meant to be dark I'd have thought.

In my little bit of playing it's very true to the original Alien movie. I can't get past the "low-fi" sci-fi look of it, and I know it's on purpose, but CRT's in the 22nd century? Cassette tapes? Come on! Hopefully I'll be able to see through that and play it as it's meant to be, an interactive version of the "movie" that never was.

He meant it's dark outside and it's scary :lol:
 
I played for about 30mins earlier to get a feel for it. The graphics aren't as good as I thought they were going to be, they aren't bad, I was just expecting better.
Performance is good though, i'm downsampling from 4K and getting ~70 fps average. That is with AA turned off because you don't really need it at 4K. I also have motion blur and depth of field turned off because I don't like those in any game, all other effects are on max settings though.

The game definitely has that original ALIEN style and atmosphere to it, as I said i've only played for 30mins so far but those 30mins were pretty good.

Also, SuB, play it in the dark or uninstall :p
 
importaint question here...
is it saved in safe rooms/areas or quick saves and when you like ?

I think it is just manual save points only, i'm sure I watched a review that said it has no autosave. I didn't see any option to quick save or see the game auto saving anyway.
