Broken tracker and unpredictable alien mod is my favourite way to play. Increases the tension and the only way you know the alien is in the vents are the audio cues. The way the dot moves around while it's in the vents always takes me out of the game because it's so different to how it moves normally, it's all smooth and weird so it reminds me the alien isn't actually in the vents but is just despawned waiting to be spawned somewhere else.
That broken tracker killed me once, listened for any alien noise..none, open the tracker to check, stand up walk Alien right in my face. Just standing there. Damnit
I'm still gonna say that even today Alien Isolation is still the most impressive looking game, graphically, I've ever seen. It's probably the lighting, but damn.
@Tanner Goodman all these times when you play horror games even with jump scares they're still quite predictable because there's a script for spawns, event triggers, and basically patterns. NOW you're telling me the mod removes the pattern and let the AI, which sole purpose is to kill you, roams freely out of it's binary code.....I don't know if my heart is strong enough for this 😂
@@SuperGoose42 Yeah no thanks. I couldn't even beat this game without having a heart attack on medium difficulty. I think I would literally suffer a heart attack and 2 strokes if I tried nightmare mode.
The moment I finished this on Nightmare will forever be charished as my proudest achivement in gaming history. P.S. Its remarkable how damn good this game still looks.
This is also one of my crown achievements in gaming lol. I started my first and only playthrough on Nightmare when it first came out. It took me about 3 months to finish with breaks in between to regain my will and sanity! Haha
This game is amazing, I had to stop every hour just to have a little breathing moment. Might be the only game I played that had me this scared too continue.
Darth Sidious It is one of the games that makes me the most nervous and that outlast did not succeed with me, the artificial intelligence of the alien is completely unpredictable and that is what gives real terror I love too much its atmosphere really leaves you that feeling of being alone without hope without nobody who can help you you are alone in a space station in ruins with an alien waiting for you
I even just have to take a break from watching these gameplay videos tbh. The player in this game gets up and walks around within seconds of the alien walking away, and I can't really take it.
Be fun to play with a mod where the alien and androids hide in lockers and under tables the minute they see you and just wait till you've gone past. I'd enjoy that game a lot more.
The AI starts to "learn" the more you do stuff in the game. After escaping using lockers a few times (the harder the difficulty the fewer chances you get), it'll start looking at nearby lockers when investigating noise. My guess is that this guy used lockers before and the alien figured the shtick out. It's why the game encourages using all methods available to you instead of abusing certain methods of escape.
The Alien is also scripted to react in certain way if it comes within a certain radius around the locker you're hiding in. The AI then starts a "gamble" - there's a X % chance it'll check the locker, and there is Y % chance that it will not - the X and Y numbers being determined by other factors, for example (as stated in the comment above) how often player uses lockers to hide. That's why I'm much more willing to hide under desks or behind boxes than I am to hide in the locker... It should be your last resort in situations when there's truly nowhere to hide, as it is a literal gamble on your life.
@@Noctazar Exactly. And if you hide under desks or tables, at least you can move to the other side and escape. Or throw a flare to distract it. With a locker, it’s a complete dead end.
Either they didn't hit the right keys to trigger their hold breath sequence or they were too low in health. The alien will learn what you do, though, especially with lockers. Over time the alien will check it more and more. Each time on high difficulties you must hold your breath you start losing health. So if you stay in lockers too long eventually you'll be too low in health to hold your breath and the alien will get you.
Yes, throughout the ENTIRE series, the Xenomorph is portrayed as smart, unpredictable, strong, and adaptable. So it’s no surprise that they made the AI have memory to show that the Alien is hella smart
did this on nightmare difficulty too and my god dude you have confidence, 60% of my playthrough was me sitting in the same spot waiting for the aliens footsteps tom slowly die down and then yeet a flare in the opposite direction to the way i wanted to go
Gee. 13:05 I've almost felt that pain. I finished that game in VR (Mother mod) in Hard diff and it was one of the best VR experience even with some key binding errors.
Watching this isn’t scaring me at all, but when I play this I start sweating so bad and my heart beats fast all the time! I couldn’t manage to finish this game.
I’m playing this right now for the first time and I’m split on it. There are many things I love, but there are also some aspects that are downright annoying. I really hate that it takes so long to do most things. For example; using a plasma torch to open something.
This game is amazing. I don’t think anyone’s ever done anything this immersive. The story could be better, but the gameplay is just on another level. It really feels like being there.
Awesome how this is garnering a new following of players curious to try it out. I played it through on PS3 on release on Hard. Jesus Christ I had many many tense dreams and would wake up regularly feeling very disturbed - not necessarily Alien dreams but just very uncomfortable. Was playing on surround sound headphones and my dad came in to tap me on the shoulder for something....I nearly jumped so much that I nearly hit my head on the ceiling. Never played it through again but am going to now ...wish me luck! Ps, So deserving of a sequel !!!!!!
The studio behind this game is the one who made total war series. Alien Isolation was ahead of its time. I hope we're going to have this kind of game again. This is scarier than Outlast 2 and Blair Witch though I haven't played Amnesia, Soma and the first Outlast. Also not to mention, this game is pretty optimized. There are minimal glitches but pretty solid for its optimization.
Watching this brings back some fun memories. This game got my family and I through the early days of the Pandemic shutdown . We never had the guts to play in Nightmare mode...hats off to you! I recently read that they're making a part 2 to this game. I hope it's as well done as this one.
I think I'm doing myself a massive disservice if I don't replay this with this mod on nightmare mode. Just not sure I want to experience that level of stress lol How was the overall experience compared to your first playthrough on vanilla mode?
Man, this game GETS TO ME! Hearing him coming in the door, catching you playing video games on your mobile device... I was like "RUUUUUN!" I'm not like that with other games! XD
I play this with my dog nearby, and I have to be careful to not say oh shit or tense up, because she'll jump right on top of me, to protect me or see what's going on. She's a hoot.
I don’t normally scream bloody murder at scary games I get startled by it then continue. But thissss game. Holy mother F did my heart popped out of me like an alien especially in 44:00- 44:30... badass game for it being somewhat oldish. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏼💀❤️
@@CrasherX2000and towards the end it’ll expect it and the flamethrower will do very little. Also, at one point if u use flamethrower and guns on it too much it’ll start grabbing u from every vent u cross under

@Kaguya Houraisan Look, I get that it’s just a video game. But the mechanics could’ve been way better. Having to be at an exact spot before I can even hit the prompt just drove me crazy. This is a type of game where a split second matters, because the creature is always on you. The creature and androids can attack you when you’re using a computer or trying to cut off a panel. Even those rewire systems took too long to boot up. Not good development.
I finished it on Nightmare too, and honestly the only time I freaked out was coming out of the hive and realising I didn't have enough bolts to disable all the androids coming for you. Luckily I could get them all but I seriously thought I would have to restart the game then.
i spent 2 hours on this spot in nightmare mode. i eventually got past it when i tried sprinting to the keycard before the alien is out of the vent as you come up the stairs.
I feel like them simply removing the map was a bad idea, it removes the entire mechanic of finding map pieces. I feel in the ideal game, you are actually told or shown a good detailed map, or told where to go in detail, then you have to remember it. Then you can have maps without classic gamer "arrows" to where you need to go.
In several LPs, I made this observation: After the alien kills another human, it always seems to run straight to the player afterwards. Even if there are several rooms in between. As if the director reveals the player position to the alien after a kill.
I've consistently had the exact opposite experience. When the alien kills another human, I'm safe for at least a few seconds afterwards, and the alien might even go into a vent and go wildly away from me.
The AI/Xenomorph “learns” and can easily assume location of hiding if said player goes there frequently to avoid the alien, so the AI checked that spot knowing that it’s the most likely location of where the player is hiding

@@DialloMoore503 quicker than in the movie though! Some of the things you do are so noisy though. And if you do the Xbox version, if you’ve Connect, it hears if you make a noise in the room!
siarnne This vid was my second run-through the game (technically third), but the first time I played on Nightmare and Unpredictable Alien. I never finished this playthrough, however. The playthrough before this was on Hard without the mod, and there was one before that on Normal a long time ago on a much worse computer that I had, which I never finished entirely. Memory is a bit fuzzy since this vid and my playthroughs have been a while.
13:13 any game that makes me literally jump out my skin screaming is a game best not to be played at the risk of waking up the whole Complex!!!!😱 (manhood tested, manhood failed)
What I like about this video is they left the times he was killed in it. I get it looks great when you go without dying but it makes it so much more realistic if that makes sense
It'd be nice if you could set the tracker to vibrate instead. *_I DON'T NEED YOU TO BEEP AT ME, MR. TRACKER! YOU'RE GOING TO JEOPARDIZE THIS ENTIRE OPERATION!_*
Huh, all of the LPs I watched of this must have been playing it on Easy/Normal because none of them had the lights off in the medical facility. That definitely upped the tension factor a lot while watching this, so I imagine it must be really unsettling playing it. Quite a challenge it’s throwing at you, especially sans maps.
Hmmmm. PC mode seems like easy mode to me. Better controls, more cover, and the Unpredictable mod seems to make the Alien actually less present than normal. Not saying it's not hard, but I wonder if playing like this actually breeds bad habits. Both death 1 and 2 looked preventable to me.
I never played this game but I always nod my head when I think of it, a contemporany piece of computer engineer in video games for years to come.. Thank you, SEGA for allowing someone to make your game while evaluating their psychology.
32:52 This advanced "ferocious carnivorous" type organism is filmed so close together that it seriously defies animal documentaries! Damn it! Macho Cheese, a reconversion is necessary!
The need of having to hold a trigger to focus your eyesight beyond the tracker is what sold the idea that I was playing as the original Ripley from the 1979 movie. The immersive fear it generates is simply unmatched in my opinion. I loved this game on Nightmare.
Always liked how everything is so futuristic but the computers are all from the 80s.
Exactly as the first movies. :P
so true u would expect somthing like apple to be in a huge space ship
Its called low- fi -scie -fi
And that dann computers are slow as fck.
@@Sleepy_Soldier Not if you want stuff to actually work.
Who ever came up with the idea of a broken tracker really had a good sense of humor.

More likely a psychopath
Even broken, it is still useful and helps
I'm still gonna say that even today Alien Isolation is still the most impressive looking game, graphically, I've ever seen. It's probably the lighting, but damn.
Lighting can make all the difference sometimes, props to the developers for adjusting for limiting hardware
Smart use of lighting and environment design.
It's also in my opinion the little effects like smoke and the sound of working computers/servers etc.
goes to red dead 2 for me but yes this is great
The sound design is insane IMO really immerses you

I would probably not even be able to move, and hide in a locker or something. And when I get found, simply 💫pass out💫

32:16 even I held my breath
Make sure you beat up the skeleton before you leave the office.
The sound design in this game is so satisfying
Are you playing this game for the first time on Nightmare mode with the Unpredictable Alien Mod?
siarnne
This vid was my second run-through the game (technically third), but the first time I played on Nightmare and Unpredictable Alien. I never finished this playthrough, however.
The playthrough before this was on Hard without the mod, and there was one before that on Normal a long time ago on a much worse computer that I had, which I never finished entirely. Memory is a bit fuzzy since this vid and my playthroughs have been a while.
13:13 any game that makes me literally jump out my skin screaming is a game best not to be played at the risk of waking up the whole Complex!!!!😱
(manhood tested, manhood failed)
What I like about this video is they left the times he was killed in it. I get it looks great when you go without dying but it makes it so much more realistic if that makes sense
Nightmare Mode + Unpredictable Alien Mod x PC=All three of my nightmares combined into one
It'd be nice if you could set the tracker to vibrate instead. *_I DON'T NEED YOU TO BEEP AT ME, MR. TRACKER! YOU'RE GOING TO JEOPARDIZE THIS ENTIRE OPERATION!_*
Flare gAve you away in the end. That was crazy though.
Good job Ripley, make sure you open and close the locker AS LOUD AND VIGOROUSLY AS POSSIBLE
Huh, all of the LPs I watched of this must have been playing it on Easy/Normal because none of them had the lights off in the medical facility. That definitely upped the tension factor a lot while watching this, so I imagine it must be really unsettling playing it. Quite a challenge it’s throwing at you, especially sans maps.
The lights remain the same on all difficulty levels. The brightness just might be up on those games
How did the alien know you were there on those last two deaths?
Probably the player used to hide more often in the locker, the AI will search more on lockers if that's the case.
Hmmmm.
PC mode seems like easy mode to me. Better controls, more cover, and the Unpredictable mod seems to make the Alien actually less present than normal.
Not saying it's not hard, but I wonder if playing like this actually breeds bad habits. Both death 1 and 2 looked preventable to me.
I never played this game but I always nod my head when I think of it, a contemporany piece of computer engineer in video games for years to come.. Thank you, SEGA for allowing someone to make your game while evaluating their psychology.
I dont like how loud the xenos are in this. More like velociraptors then Xenos
Every time the alien saw me i just paused the game and thought about what to do when i unpause it
32:52 This advanced "ferocious carnivorous" type organism is filmed so close together that it seriously defies animal documentaries!
Damn it! Macho Cheese, a reconversion is necessary!
Amazing game! I can't say I play it for FUN! It messes me up!
The need of having to hold a trigger to focus your eyesight beyond the tracker is what sold the idea that I was playing as the original Ripley from the 1979 movie.
The immersive fear it generates is simply unmatched in my opinion. I loved this game on Nightmare.
Imagine playing this game but the character is Solid Snake.
I played through the game on easy mode twice and then I said yeah I'm ready for nightmare mode and then I played it. it was fun
Honestly if I was experiencing this I might just crawl up in a ball and stay put in a corner for hours at a time… this is very stressful lol
i tried to play this game but literally stopped after 1 Hour cause i couldn’t take it i like Horror Games to watch but i’m to scared to play it myself
