Steam forum discussion revealed that the Alien will teleport when trapped in a room when it's not scripted to do so. I decided to test the theory. Don't get me wrong. Awesome game. I can see why they made it so you couldn't trap the Alien like this (albeit kinda disappointing for creative gamers). Just had to share for those curious.
You'll have to forgive the length. Don't have video editing software installed at the moment and uploaded this right off shadowplay. - Ігри
Alien: *Teleports behind you* "Nothing personell kid."
Player: *Naani..?!* (Host show voice)
Good word play
I thought "welcome to the family son"
RE7😂
I read this in Slade Wilson's voice from Arrow. (Deathstroke)
It's PERSONAL not 'personell'.
As the game said, the perfect organism
It's first said Ash in movie..
Underrated comment
Dude r u mc lovin?

As god intended
How quickly you pause after it teleports is really just the best non verbal way of saying "Nope"
the alien have Golden Experience Requiem
@@yourlocaltaxevader3000 Well... You never know, it might've been King Crimson time skipping.
@@theleoninaulus1423 oh wha- - -he hall
@@yourlocaltaxevader3000 Told ya XDD
More like pausing to clip the recording.
Can you imagine someone being all proud that they trapped the alien, cheering and being like 'yay I'm safe now!' only to see it blink out of existence and hear it above you XD
tell those at the station that they closed all the places where he was and they didn't even know that the reason for his escape was that he was teleporting haha
I love how everyone forgets or doesn’t realize that this is one of the few if not *only* rooms where you can lock yourself in and you’ll be completely safe for as long as you want until you mentally collect your cool and decide to leave lol
Hilton B It seemed like the door kept auto-opening
@@Tempusverum He's talking about the room that this guy was trying to trap to the alien in. There is a rewire that lets you lock that door from the inside, and the only other door has to be hacked to open and there is no vent access. So it really is one of the few truly safe places in the entire game.
What room is this specifically? I hadn't played the game
until you decide to leave the room start wondering where the f is alien and if he is waiting outside one of the doors.
@@James-May it looks to be in the medical wing, very early on in the game
That pause at the end, after the xeno disappeared, is an "oh sht" moment.
That would be me quiting the game for the night
I love watching the xenomorph close calls vids cause it always has that “oh sht” pause lmao
"Jesus fucking Christ" *pauses the game*
LMAO
10 months later and this comment still sends me
this video could have been 30 seconds long...
well said. bro
ikr
Read the description ya turd
I just skiped through it lol
@@colinclayton8042 Nobody ever read the descriptions.
this should have collected an achievement. instead Ai cheats. Lame
What would the achievement name be?
Defying logic...maybe?
Adam McNare / Nape perfect organism
"Game over."
It should be the title of the game. It suits it. I think.
People underestimate how terrifying it is seeing the Xeno on the motion tracker. Especially when it moving towards you and you don’t know if it’s above, below or same level
Yep, I could never rely on the tracker for that reason. And knowing that the pathways that the alien travels are basically non-existent, and just a plot device makes it even harder. The game isn't actually processing and quantifying the alien's movement in a simulated vent. It's just a representation of how close the game wants the alien to be to you.
@@Aquascape_Dreaming exactly. It’s literally just simulating the effects of the motion tracker and trying to introduce the fear that you’d imagine the Marines felt in Aliens or Alien
Which is exactly why I think this game has less to do with the skill of the player, and more to do with “luck” or chance/circumstance.
I was playing this the other day, and the creature just emerged from the vent when the tracker showed that it was a good distance away from me.
@Devin Garcia or when you see the drooling ceiling vent, when it's posing as an enviromental trap
You do though
Alien: I have to go now, my planet needs me.
Literally they could just play a sound of him breaking out when you’re not looking but no, teleportation.
They are not exactly expecting people to do all of this in order to break the game instead of, you know, playing the game.
@@ppvsonicspy
believe me, it's surprisingly easy to trap him. Once you realise that some of the doors have locks, it's the next rational step.
If you listen closely you`ll hear that there is sound of alien jumping up the vents in the moment of teleportation. So technically they did just what you said.
I find it weird that they didn't just put ceiling vents in each of these rooms with lockable doors that he could enter. The devs know exactly which doors can be locked, so it seems like a very simple thing to do.
Well this game is made in 2014 so
*The part you actually want to see is at* 4:40
*You're welcome.*
But it's in the description...
@@stepansoukup8571 Hardly anyone reads the description.
@@seal9454 And thats the problem with the average viewer nowadays, isnt it
@@accelmemory Not only that, most people don't even watch the entire videos on UA-cam before asking dumb questions or leaving unnecessary comments.
@@seal9454 yep
You CAN trap him in the lockdown hallway on the mission "The Trap" where you must lock down the access points..
There is one dead end that u toss a flare and a noise maker... hide sideways beside the switch until he goes in and kneels to look at flare..
Then u quietly come out of hiding and throw the trigger..
He stays stuck in there until you throw the final release switch...
Meaning that you can go downstairs and plunder the lockup cell area, open other doors, and pickup stuff without being bothered.
True! I've done that too! But of course the Alien will come back later when you enter the server area
@@rialpleya That should have unlocked an achievement. Fair enough if the Alien returns as there's more than one anyway. But one of the lamest aspects of the game : making the Alien absolutely invincible to the point of magical disappearance and reappearance
@@addydiesel6627 You don't get the point of the game do you?
@TheEsotericZebra The whole point of the game is that you have an unkillable monster following you everywhere you go being able to trap it wouldn't be very fun or scary
@@noriakikakyoin1423 I disagree. Being able to trap it could easily be a great achievement. It would take tons of careful planning and good execution, and would probably be extremely rewarding to discover.
Well the game is called
"ALIEN" Isolation.
Not "RIPLEY" isolation.
Its his world.
Good point.
But shouldn't he obey logic? o,o
The Alien clearly doesn't want to be isolated.
Watch Alien Resurrection. That movie will show you that you can’t trap a Xenomorph or in this case isolate a Xenomorph. Xenomorphs don’t follow Rules that’s why they are so Intelligent, Badass, Sneaky Creatures! You don’t mess with Xenomorphs.
its Alien : isolation. isolation is just the theme, the people are isolated not the xenomorph
This is my world, Mr. Andersen! MY WORLD!
I love the way he stopped the game at the end, he was thinking: "oh shit, i think i'm closing the game and maybe i'll play the Sims..."
Seems like a problem with the level design but good to see they had some kind of system in place just in case anything like that happened which is possible with such an unpredictable AI. Strange they didn't just add a vent in that room for the Xeno to escape out again.
There's another room within the game you can trap it in. It's a stairway, but it's quite small and there's no vents. I guess they just didn't expect people to think how to trap it while being afraid of it.
What if this is not a problem with the level design, but a regular way of Alien moving around levels? What if developers just tricked us to think that Alien is really moving around the map when we don't look?
pafnucek
Well, if you move from level to level on the station, you'd set the alien to go to that location by taking it from where it was last and teleporting it 96 miles behind you or even ahead of you.
Ok, I didn't actually mean from the edge to the edge of station. I mean floor levels. My point is that alien most likely don't travel through level designed vents. There is no vents alien travels through, just holes in the sealing where he spawns. In that case, any attempt to forecast where alien could go in the physical space sense is pointless, because Alien moving around the station is just an illusion. He moves around truly once he is in the certain radius from you, but once out of your radius, he teleport into the random spot close to you. If thats the case, don't you think it takes away the immersion from game? The players skill to determine where Alien is matters only in close range, but half of the time its just random, pure luck.
The game devs actually said there are only two parts in the game where it teleports at all and it's due to it being used in cutscenes. Other than that it is moving in a physical space. Not that they necessarily designed the vent system, but the model is above the ceiling moving from one vent to another. Obviously the 'only two parts' probably doesn't account for stuff like this that isn't supposed to happen, I assume they mean if you are doing a 'normal' playthrough.
People here talking about how this is dumb, but it's probably not intentional behavior. It's more likely to be a general fallback behavior for when the navigation script fails. The devs just failed to notice that a failure could be induced by the player. If they had noticed it, they would have placed a vent in the room. In retrospect, they should have noticed it. But no art is perfect.
^this. It's to prevent the entire AI scripts and algorythms from basically shitting themselves and crashing. Its not the fault of AI team - rather of QA or level designer. Still - not that big of a deal.
Yeah people would be complaining if the alien kept getting stuck in these spesific situations, the game should continue after all
You're not wrong at all, but it could've been patched in -- given that you can close the door, this shouldn't have seemed like an absurd thing to plan for. This game is absolutely a gem so maybe it's nitpicky, but I think it's because I love the game so much and it's so damned polished that I think they could fix this kind of predictable oversight
That’s a shame :/ they could have had some in game explanation that you can trap it, but it takes longer to escape by damaging its surroundings, becoming more active and violent later if you did this
That should serve as input for a future sequel to have an even more realistic experience against the xenomorph.
They just needed to put a vent in the room for it to escape.
Trapping the alien should have been an actual game mechanic where you could do it every now and then and be rewarded with some peace for a few minutes while it tried to escape wherever you trapped it.
I really think there should've been a reward in addition to 15-20 minutes to complete your mission uninterrupted by the Alien before it breaks/finds a way out! Granted this can be undone if you're killed (by humans or synthetics) and have to start over.
what if you trapped it in a room full of ripleys with flamethrowers?
You can trap it in the Systech Spire between one of the lockdown doors and a inoperative door during the lockdown mission, but it only lasts until you get into the server farm.
I know,so cool@@trackerrrr
I love how he instantly pauses when it teleports
Player: Ha!! Let’s see you try and get out of that-
*Alien teleports out of the room*
Player: OH SHIT!! *pauses the game in a panic*
Joshua Benson Creap freakin cheating ai. I like teleporting too, geez
I love the fucking pausing right when it disappears😂😂
I like instant pause after alien disappearing
The devs were pretty transparent about how the alien works and always said that the alien doesn't teleport but I guess they never said it can't teleport. I can't imagine this is a solution the player is ever actually meant to experience. This was probably just meant for when you're in a different area suddenly and there's no way of the alien getting to you. Crazy to see the game just suddenly decided that the last resort is required so quickly tho. Usually when games do this, it takes a while before it gives up and cheats,
It doesn't teleport, the alien just goes invisible and starts no-clipping through doors and walls until it finds a viable vent to do an "drop down animation" to appear again. As it walks through the level invisibly it does the vent sounds. Then again, that does still sounds like teleport. I'm guessing since it got trapped it just goes invisible-no-clipping-mode without doing the animation until it finds another vent to drop down.
@@jerryblue017 It does become nothing but wireframe when the player can't see it so that makes sense. I expect it instantly jumps to the nearest vent and goes from there, or something like that. The alien has to teleport at the beginning of every level just to exist there so it probably is in the programming somewhere
If he had done that while I was playing, that would have been it for me
He was scary enough when he was dropping out of vents!!!
and now he suddenly teleports into them! Just kill me Xenomorph. -.-
Instead of disappearing alien, it could just trigger a bool "readyToDisappear" and when it's true and when player doesn't see an alien on the camera, it disappears.
*dbz instant transition*
Amanda: "NANI!?"
*the perfect organism*
You know who never teleported and you could trap? The creepy butler from Tomb Raider.
Ah... I see you are a person of culture too...
what I see here is that the Alien is dissapearing and at the same time the sound is played as if it's going into a went on the ceiling. I know because I watched it doing it a couple of times when hiding. Also I don't use the motion detector as much only when I need a confirmation on what I am hearing, ir there are other noises and it's not clear where is the Alien. Now in any case I can't call that behavior a teleportation. Why not? Because mostly the Alien is moving through imaginary vents inaccessible to the player in the ceiling when it wants to go through the map faster. Usually that's when I do my stuff because it's a bit safer until he's exiting again. Now that room didn't have a vent opening on the ceiling, so the game simply skipped that climbing animation to place the alien in the ceiling. But it's not like it dissapeared there and appeared magically on another side of the map. That is the reason why you can hear that sound of the vents exactly in the same moment as he dissapears.
Don't get me wrong I still think the game is awesome (I didn't know this was possible after beating the game).
Also, I can understand it from a programmer's point of view. the AI bot fails to find a path and crashes. Game despawns the Alien, reboots the AI bot, and respawns the alien in the vent.
I do have to say, though, this would have been a great opportunity to reward players who were creative enough and ballsy enough to find a way to temporarily trap the Alien (just make it "teleport" after the player leaves the specific map they do it on - or at least that section - it's totally explainable within the game's story how it would have gotten out).
But, I digress. I just wanted to know if it actually does happen, so this was simply the result of testing a theory.
Alien : You May outsmart me, but I outsmart your outsmarting!
If it was trapped in that room we could have been able to save everyone on board and everyone would live happily ever after. Well there still is the hive...
While those at the station already caught him several times, he simply teleported
anyway hacks
When you try to outsmart the game...
I swear when I played the game, I noticed the same thing in the same room. I had closed it and suddendly, it was just gone.
They should at least have him toggle an animation where he appears to be ripping through the wall or something (AI safepoints at any point where he can be trapped and then the wall does a parent animation with the alien)
IKR?!
Fatmeatball Why not just remain trapped dammit
Julian Depaepe
Because then the game wouldn't go on.
Fatmeatball Ye well he'd come back in an other erea.
That's exactly the problem: HOW DID HE COME BACK HERE I THOUGHT HE WAS TRAPPED
This is how I feel when I gotta slide a dish into the sink while my mom is doing dishes
*Alien has left the game*
* Alien Reconnected *
4:23
You're welcome.
LMFAO I love how you pause out of fear
Defeated by logic ..... Nope
It didnt teleport, it disconnected from the game.
You can actually lock yourself in that room from the panel on the wall in there. It's well and truly xeno proof.
Yay! I trapped the alien! I didn’t have to blast it off into space or use any fancy explosive traps either! We’re saved! *Alien magically transports* Never mind. We’re all going to die.
That was the second they said about the station after saying the alien was loaded with traps.
Now I do understand that the game needs for the alien to be able to roam but if you're able to trap that motherfucker in a room it can't get out of there should be absolutely no way it should be able to get out. I mean if you're that patient and smart you should be rewarded
I LOVE HOW WHEN THE ALIEN DISSAPPEARS HE JUST RAGE QUITS HAHAHA
Yup, I trapped the bug in the mini cage on the top floor during the first lock-down quest with Ricardo.
I used a noisemaker to lure the bug into the trap while I hid in a nearby vent.
The bug stared at the noisemaker and I crawled out to creep over to the adjacent shunt thing and locked the cage door.
After I shut the cage door, the bug was angry but soon vanished.
Alien does not want to be quarantined.
Alien teleports behind you. “Clever girl.”
well so much for attempting on locking him in there to buy me some time to get away... I was contemplating doing that next time I play the game
Well.. that just sucks... there goes my little idea of trapping it momentarily in a room to run my ass back to safety T-T
Before completing the game, I wanted to have some fun with the Alien, I've done this before and I'd cheered until it's disappeared until I heard a blip on my tracker and I was like "Oh For God's Sake Sega!" went back to being hunted again.
They really missed the chance to make a rare jumpscare here. If you manage to trap the Xenomorph, it should look at the door, roar and charge the door making a very loud bang. Scaring the player, and when the player runs off or whatever, then the alien teleports.
Excellent.
Also, you should be able to taunt it.
Frieza is using an after image technique
I can feel how heavy you mashed that pause button after seeing it disappear in thin air
this is the perfect “wait what” meme template
*Alien teleports*
Person recording: na fuck this *ends game and stops recording*
You can tell the guy was shitting his pants the whole time by the way he was acting.
So Waits' original lockdown plan was doomed from the start then.
ReloadPsi Xenomorphs are Sneaky, Intelligent, Fast, Badass Creatures. You can’t trap a Xenomorph. It’s proven in the movies! Even Predator couldn’t trap a Xenomorph! Dr. Lingard even knew that they couldn’t trap the Alien.
Technically an alien was trapped in alien 3 the assembly cut...but one of the convicts who went insane let it back out.
4:55 love how you just pause instantly after that happens
it triggered an anti-glitch safety script. Its kinda unfair, but on the other hand if some unpredicted glitch happens it wont ruin your gameplay cause the alien will respawn ant continue working properly
It's easier to justify when you remember there is more than a single xenomorph around.
“Gotcha Bitch!”
-blink-
“I call bullshit!”
It also teleports sometimes just randomly due to bugs
I'm playing to in VR and it warped into a room right beside me once, while I was looking
U: I trap the Alien
Alien: Ah Shit
The Game: ... So i took that personal
that is like blinking and seeing the spider that was on your wall disapear
Okay now I am mad. WTH they give him High level AI and now magic.
Yes, very dirty, the truth is that I was impressed how he did not even feel bad after having killed everyone at the station with hacks
CA should make annimation alien breaks door or make to spawn in next area because its actually multiple aliens on sevastopol but we see only 1 at the most of time
Alien: *hohoo, thats a cute trap*
The beeping device gives me PTSD of this game 🥴😭 After playing it 1 time on Xbox and again on PS4....It was a nightmare.
There is a mod that modifies the sound that the sound bomb plays (when you turn on the playstation 2) and it sounded VERY but VERY loud that even I shit, very fun to play with that mod
Saw the first fail when you dropped the flare.. lol. Happens to allll of us
The alien said “do you feel in charge?”
Your commitment to the task is astounding. Shame it was worth nothing 😂
Is that what the game designers called intelligent behaviour?
Well that was some bullshit. I had the idea to do this last night. Thanks for doing it so that I didn't have to.
Good job.
Imagine how long the trilogy would of been if they'd just locked it in a room and not blown up the ship...
The alien learnt a new technique called Teleportation.
The “pop” noise came to my head 😂
They made this Alien game to be like the original, but they didn't make something like in the script that was not filmed on the first movie. The Alien has so much strength to tear open grill covers and as we remember from ALIENS they can also tear open thick metal doors. The Sevastopol station doors don't look particularly all that strong and that is the issue I have when one can trap the creature. They could had make it as a mission to then in another part or even a cut scene see the Alien tear open the door, grill cover bars, or glass. The best way to showcase its already known horrible self and strength.
Thanks for the video!Is first i se on youtube!
The "Oh, shit" moment when he teleported lol
the xenomorph knows instant transmission. must have learned it from Goku
He stopped the game out of fear.
I don’t know why that immediate pause really made me giggle lol
It was at this moment that he knew, He fucked up.
All I can hear is the Xenomorph said "Omae wa mou shindeiru".
He must've picked that technique up on planet yardrat
I love how they pause the game right when he teleports like "hell no"
the gods gave me creative mode
Director AI dragged an dropped Alien like the Google Maps Street View.
I wasn't sure it could even do that but apparently it can which made me jump a bit lol
They moved the ability to block the door from the room itself
“Not today son”
I love how you instantly paused the game. Instant 'Oh Fuck' moment.
It just went into another dimension.
He absolutely shat himself when he teleported lol
Should have been a hidden trophy you could get , and to fix the alien being trapped . If you pulled something like that off where you trapped the Alien . Ripley would call it in saying she trapped it . Then she’ll continue her object until whoever was her support that mission radios back saying it escaped. The devs could have put in something that once you get far away from it , it would an animation of ripping the door down or destroying a vent . Something that would increase the suspension. Especially after feeling good about yourself thinking your self unit you get told it escape .
Player: Haha, gotcha bit-
Alien: Huehuehue, you were saying?
it is observed that the descendant is a descendant of Paraguay
Roundabout song kicks off
The pause game moment omgggg, he really said 😦....•_•
Now the Alien knows instant transmission. We’re all fucked
SO THAT'S how the Queen got on the Sulako
