Alien: Isolation

[Jarmam]

No it's out there. Without having actually heard it I am pretty sure I figured out how they can make it a full-length game, what is Alien without an evil coorperation who want to get their hands on it. I bet you will have to start evading human enemies as well at some point, and use the Alien to your advantage, that it will be your nemesis throughout the game, but also the only way you can survive other threats. It would make the encounters where it's just you and the Alien all the more terrifying.

By the way they did exactly this (the human antagonists in general, anyway) and it works perfectly. The only risk is that you start liking the Alien a bit for how effectively it can clear out a bad situation for you. But then again once it runs out of other people to hunt, it will remember you.

Wow, this actually sounds like a new game I may really be interested in. What a miracle! (esp considering it comes from CA) I love old school stealth games, and if this is anything like them, I just may buy it. (Gotta wait till I know I got a new job though, as I just lost my old one)

I heard some bad things about it. It is apparently quite linear, with the AI either being too dumb (looking at you and doesn't notice you) or has some sort of super vision which sees through walls.

So definitely one which needs some player reviews like from Jarman.

If it sees you through walls it's because you're giving away your position or are playing too singlemindedly. If you use the Motion Tracker and enemies are near you, they can hear the beeping sound. So put that thing away. That's not seeing through walls, that's the fact that the Alien is not deaf. And it will indeed start picking up on your standard tactics, like the enemies in Arkham City blowing away the gargoyles if you constantly swing around on them. Again I don't consider this glitchy, but smart.

As for dumb AI, I will say that the human enemies are sometimes bewildering. Maybe my gamma is too high, but there are situations where I should have been spotted but wasn't. I can't really tell if the AI is supposed to not notice you in the shadows, or if concealment does indeed come from holey things I can clearly see through like the tutorial indicates, but it is not entirely intuitive.

Update please! I am not asking. PS3 controller is broken, would be all over it if the damn thing didn't decide to die.

Why oh why is there no WiiU version, the WiiU makes perfect sense for this game. It can match Xbone and ps4 for the moment at least, and having the motion tracker and map on the controller must be the best idea ever. So ffs.

How shall I put this, hmmm. Ok, here it goes, when Yhatzee, who I watch weekly just to see him amusingly shred every game he reviews actually comes out not positively hating something it's tantamount to resounding endorsement: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/vide...m_campaign=all
