So begins a desperate journey to survive and escape, as she is relentlessly hunted by the deadly creature.

no wonder the first game was shit. the devs seemingly didn't even know the genre of their game.

they legit called the first one a survival horror game during the announcement of this lol. it's just a stealth game, there were zero survival game mechanics

Also the finest survival horror game of that generation before RE2R released, and the entire generation before.

Alien Resurrection is better, so was Alien 3

and if we include AvP games it's not even in the top 10.

You're trying to outdo me in neogafs retard of the year award and it's working

what can I say, if not liking badly designed slop is retarded, then call me mr. down syndrome

 

[MiguelItUp]

That first comment is bait, wtf? Lmao.

So excited about this. Huge xenomorph fan, and the first game was insane. Feels good to be truly excited about something coming out that you never thought would happen.

 

[vindafarna]

I liked the first one.. and am hyped for this sequel. Looks like those creepy Working Joes are back.

Yeah, they have a challenge to better the 1st one, I'm curious if they'll keep just one Xeno hunting you or make it more in the spirit of Aliens and giving you more power with more Xenos.

 

[sodstall]

Isolation was groundbreaking for the IP sure but not exactly for the genre, this second game has some proverbially large shoes to fill.

 

[TGO]

Yet again, excited for the game.
Trailer was shit though.

They're still early in the development, it's a 2028 title at best in my opinion

Alien Isolation 1 was shit?

 

[TGO]

I'm sure it'll be great, but this and REVeronica's trailers were extremely poor.
I mean we already got a teaser trailer for this and what I just watched looked like a another teaser trailer.
And REVeronica's was just not what they should be showing to show off their game.
I'm sure the second trailers will be much better.

 

[kevboard]

Alien Isolation 1 was shit?

it's a mediocre stealth game that is 5x longer than it has any right to.

I think you are alone in that take… Good luck.

IGN has his back and no one else, lmao.

I liked it, they're not retreading old ground by doing another space station setting.

The first one was amazing.

 

[forsakkenSoul]

Fuck yeah

I loved the first Alien Isolation, so I'm really hyped for this sequel.

 

[kevboard]

The first one was amazing.

amazingly bad yes.

imagine playing a hide and seek stealth game with no interesting mechanics for 15h and thinking it's a good game lol

Yeah, this Thread is now irreparably tainted.

No interesting mechanics in Alien: Isolation...

Do you ever enjoy anything? Christ you're one fucking sandy tampon.

 

[kevboard]

good games yes.
plenty of them.

currently playing Mina, which is absolutely peak game design, basically the opposite of Alien Isolation.

try good games! you'll like them, trust me! you don't have to play shit like Alien Isolation, noone i ls forcing you! there's light out there!

Guess we found Ryan McCaffrey's Neogaf burner.

If you don't like it that's your call, of course. But so was posting or not posting in this thread.

I recognise that name... who's that again?

look, I was just baffled that the devs think they made a survival horror game

can't design games, and don't even know the genre of their own hit title. that was just too good not to post something about it

 

[The_Observer]

The first game was the best thing ever happened to the franchise since the first movie, but I'm not sure if more of the same is needed. Maybe it will be different enough, we will see.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

First game was the best Alien game I don't know what you're talking about

Not much to write home about then if that's the best there is to offer.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Day one for me, I don't even need to watch more.

 

[Thanati]

Imagine having a gaming experience that played like it was meant to be, to generate the emotion of fear that enjoyed by a substantial amount of players.

that might have worked in a well designed game. too bad it wasn't

The horror action genre is called "Survival Horror", as that's what the creators of Resident Evil 2 called their pioneering work. RE does have some bare-bones item combining (so sort of crafting) and ammo limitations, but otherwise the "Survival" term is a Japanese'ism (they like to define their subrlgenres there, Kojima can practically have his own dictionary of genre metadata) which doesn't play in much but stick around for lack of a better term.

Alien Isolation would fit the term "Survival Horror" pretty much the same as Resident Evil; it has barebones item management/combining and it has limited resources, plus of course it's a horror game.

RE had item scarceness, inventory management, and hard punishment for not planning ahead.

Isolation has none of that.
it is not a survival horror game.

I'd rather take a razor to my balls than take any recommendations from you dude.

Mina is actually incredible.

But so was Alien Isolation, so I have no idea what he's on about.

Resident Evil coined the phrase survival horror whats the difference?
