You mean the invincibility that made all your weapons irrelevant and therefore made you fear the alien in a cheap way? Suuuure. Isolation is a great game, but take away the Aliens invincibility and it's just a "generic shoota".
@@TurKlack A spectacularly unqualified statement that falls apart when you think about it for more than 2 seconds. Go do a no weapons run of AI and tell me how it plays exactly the same, when you can't fight humans or working joes with projectiles and you can't escape the alien by using the flamethrower or molotovs. Utterly asinine comment. It's not even a shooter at all. Remove the alien immortality and you'd still fear it because of the way it moves, sounds, sneaks, flanks, and if it gets to you you're dead. Plus it establishes multiple aliens later so they could easily have gone that route anyway, and just made them hard to kill. Same result. It's clear it's not a shooter because most of your time is spent sneaking around, gathering supplies and achieving survival-related goals. It's a stealth survival game if anything. As for it being generic... based on what? Like the game or not, nothing about it is particularly generic, even its critics don't think so.
@@TurKlack well she didn't have a pulse rifle, she had a wimpy revolver and a flamethrower, the game is supposed to capture the feeling of the movie, and ya know if the alien was killed then the whole story doesn't make sense.
It's funny, whenever there is only one alien people drop like flies without being able to harm it, but when there are many aliens, they get killed by the dozen... Just compare the first movie to its sequel for example.
@@NoelistAvenger Yeah, let's. Seriously. Let's compare horror film where the beast stands against regular people with no combat gear and expertise to action horror film where there's a squad of toughest marines in the known universe armed to their teeth against entire hive of aliens.
It needs some more interactive elements beside klick and shoot. Smelting doors, traps, breakable or activatable environment and puzzles and come to mind.
Absolutely. Currently it looks like a shooting gallery through generic sci-fi corridors. Thinking of all the things we see in the movies alone it's kind of a pity most games in the franchise are pretty generic. Aliens could be thrown out of airlocks, smelted with molten metal, pushed into fire, crushed with machinery, pitted against one another, frozen with gas, blocked behind blast-doors. Simultaneously we could have driving, flying, swimming, climbing sections...
@@kentallard8852 That would be an interesting mechanic though. Imagine if falling through the floor meant death. That would mean that xenos can't just be eliminated mindlessly but need to be herded, while watching out for flanking ones.
@@rodthefishman5676 Not knowing if you killed it or not is the entire point behind removing the red x. We don’t need confirmation. That ambiguity is exactly one of the things which could somewhat alleviate the generic feeling of this game.
With the types of swarms you'll see on higher difficulties making the environments darker would not be great especially if your taking away enemy outlines
I'm always happy when developers are willing to post unscripted gameplay footage out there. Helps build the game into something more understandable for anyone who'd potentially purchase it.
Porting over AVP 2010 to current gen consoles and next gen consoles, remaster it or remake it idk what the difference is but anyone of these options would be great I'll just like my own comment then.
Honestly just listen to the community push it back make a longer campaign, make the aliens scary, have a game mode thats really challenging and only use motion tracker and headlights and go from there

Seriously man, the point of the xenomorphs is that they blend in with this sort of dark environment and its heart-rate inducing to not know where they're coming from clearly and you guys put white outlines on them?
Well.. The Alines in Aliens 2 only blended the first time, before the Marines retreated back to base, then the Aliens ran right into the sentry Guns for quite a while... 2000 Bullets later did the Aliens finally realize: "Ok, we can't go on like this. any other ideas?" So the "Alien running at you in a straight line" is neither dumb, nor lore conflicting. That's what they did in the second movie.
@@zombiefinatic7033 You can turn all those effects off their optional. And they've added more things since then to the game. You have to remember that storywise most of these xenomorphs Were made by the company Wayland So it makes perfect sense why the aliens are acting different because they themselves are different. But even if we follow the movie path of hiding in the shadows they still die with a few bullets Shine a Flash light turn on the power you'll see them.
It's a smart gun, it has a built in heads up display the user uses that tells them if the target is alive or dead, so the red x is built in software and is cannon. Go learn about Aliens.
to be fair the interviewer worded that poorly such that it could be interpreted as a statement instead of a question. He didn't really ask anything he was just seeking affirmation and his inflection wasn't very indicative of it being a question either.
Well people like to explain that the original alien, including the ones from alien isolation, are different from the ones from aliens. So it’s more like 1 big monster vs a horde of smaller monsters.
They need to include face huggers that creep in the shadows and infect one of your teammates giving u the tough decision to either kill them right there or continue to progress not knowing when the chest buster will come out. That would be scary as hell
"Face overwhelming odds against over 20 enemy types, including 11 different Xenomorphs along the evolutionary scale from Facehuggers to Praetorians, each designed with their own intelligence to ambush, outsmart and eviscerate vulnerable marines. Utilize cover and master team strategy to survive extraterrestrial threats as they overrun your fireteam from every angle, swarm through doors and vents, scramble across walls and ceilings, and strike from darkness with uncanny ferocity."
Facehugger is probably gonna be like L4D's hunter. Pounces your ally and you have seconds to help them otherwise they become a lost cause. Maybe. Unless they give them a timer then that's gonna be wild
Its kinda a 1hit kill though but id be cool if it stops people from shooting and makes the allies remove it in time before your teammate gets infected and dies
@@Orain88 It's an Aliens game. In Aliens, the xenomorphs absolutely threw themselves at the Marines. Remember how they rushed the turrets or raided their holdout? The xenomorphs are a lot more bold when they have numbers on their side.
The atmosphere is not at all that scary and creepy like an Alien game should have. Now it's just a 3rd person "hahaha lets kill some bugs lol" game. Going 3rd person was the first mistake, it removes you from that feeling completely.
In the film 'Aliens' most of the battle scenes are with the humans in retreat, running away from the danger - this seems to be the opposite, with the humans in control and the Xenomorphs just empty easy cannon fodder. Guns can help - but you run from Xenomorphs and escape
Yeah, and in the original Aliens movie you were scared to even kill the single alien, cos it's acid blood would eat right through the hull of the ship. Here there is acid blood everywhere.
In the movie several soldiers die from killing a single xeno, singed from the acid spray. This gameplay really downplays the threat killing them at close range poses and is rather inaccurate to the movies. They also appear to keep rushing them head-on even though that strategy fails constantly. Less numerous but smarter Xenos would be better imho. Gotta make use of the motion tracker to find their hidding places and avoid them.
@Uncut The Urbanite well Left 4 Dead pretty much means all the 4 characters are left for dead (in the context of the story) its a pretty smart title but "Left 3 Aliens" just sounds like someone left 3 aliens behind lol
Still waiting for that alien RPG where you play as a xeno and have countless upgrades and mutation paths that alter how your alien look and play. That would be sick
One thing this game needs is a slower pace, really make the players take in the environment, give us the feeling we are never safe. It should be more hardcore and visceral.
@@garageofrockIf it's multiplayer have it a fps with 8 marines and 2 aliens at the start. Then once a marine dies without being revived they become an alien. The marines have to progress in a in closed area until they leave and win.
Has so much potential, i'd personally like a more hardcore feel to it. Looks a little 'arcade shooter' atm. No hitmarkers, limited hud, much harder hitting aliens would be nice.
@@enteromara6962 Yes, the borderlands games famously did terribly on consoles as first person shooters. Stop excusing bad game design that does not fit with the IP in the name of making it 'suitable for the console market'.
This reminds me of the " Aliens Armageddon" arcade game. It seems that it does not really have a huge story line, and you just face off against all kinds of random Xenomorphs in wave after wave.
Looks similar to the Division while have that World War Z vibes except with a bit of horror aspect. Also it is a little similar to Resident Evil 4, 5, 6 in horror, but it’s not like Alien: Isolation in terms of jump scares.
Honestly Matt (the Chief Creative Officer from ColdIron) seemed worse than the IGN player, he's the one who held his shotgun out checking corners with a giant flashing "NO AMMO" on screen
A permanent motion tracker on the screen shouldn't be a thing. You should have to decide about having your motion tracker out or your weapons. A big part of aliens is not knowing where and when the aliens are going to come from. A perma motion tracker kinda gives away the tension. What do you guys think? And also perhaps have an option to get rid of those big red "X"s and include more maps with less lighting.
@@ReaperWolf68 The point isn't that you'll be looking at it when there's 20 barreling at you. It's that you should be pulling it out to check and see if any are coming. That being said, it should be relegated to a class function/utility that one person handles, to promote a bit more strategy or tension. Two people on point, one person keeping an eye on possible threats. For example: In the movies, Hudson travels around with his out and his gun held away, while Vasquez or whoever else stays alert with their gun ready. It shouldn't be an ever-present thing on the screen, as it kills tension if you inherently know where everything is at a glance. Not trying to complain, just stating why having a constant motion tracker vs. one that requires a cost in the form of lowering your weapon adds a layer of strategy and danger to the situation.
@@thatoneguyfive8701 They're talking about the Giant UI "frame and x" that occurs when something dies, not the yellow/red hitmarker splats. Different things dude.
You can definitely make a tense game using third person, take the new resident evil games for instance, but it just needs to be done properly; walking speed being default, tighter and darker spaces are just a couple of things that come to mind
All of the exploding xeno bodies close to the characters, they should be dead 100% over. Even dumber is that they just walk over large splashes of acid blood, which would melt their boots.
There is no fear in this. 3rd person also doesn't seem to give enough of a claustrophobic feeling. Aliens just charge in like zombies and die in hordes. Not for me.
@peng917 That scene last a few minutes at minimum. Benjamin's point is that in Aliens the Xenomorphs do indeed charge in like zombies and die in hordes. Xenomorphs only try a different approach after that plan fails. Even then they're 2nd plan is more of the same except they sneak in through the ceiling and then charge in like zombies and die in hordes. Hordes/numbers are kinda the Xenomorphs strength in Aliens...
@@harlannguyen4048 He gave a negative review to Alien Isolation that was in extreme poor taste and knowledge. Being that IGN is one of the biggest websites for games, that review no doubt turned away a lot of the casual/mainstream audience, resulting in a game that only barely broke even. Elsewhere, the game mostly received praise.
@@410zombie this looks like it took the successful design of isolation and are seeing if it works in the other part of alien lore i.e. just before you have your entire fire team flattened by aliens and you go into the isolation part anyway
It's been confirmed there won't be loot boxes or micro-transactions. Though there will be DLC, likely bringing more maps and such, but that hasn't been confirmed if those'll be free or or not.

LV-426 For Dead
Probably more recognizable than saying Alientide: End Times.
Imagine an Alien Survival that's like Dead Space. With the option going first person or 3rd person.
Alien resurrection playstation 1 was closest to that.

Still waiting for that alien RPG where you play as a xeno and have countless upgrades and mutation paths that alter how your alien look and play. That would be sick
Carrion is kinda like that. It’s not really an RPG, though, it’s a Metroidvania-lite
An assymetic game where the alien is a nest building evolving stategy game and the marines is a fps that try to beat your nest

One thing this game needs is a slower pace, really make the players take in the environment, give us the feeling we are never safe. It should be more hardcore and visceral.

@@garageofrockIf it's multiplayer have it a fps with 8 marines and 2 aliens at the start.
Then once a marine dies without being revived they become an alien. The marines have to progress in a in closed area until they leave and win.
All they do is just....blindly run at you.
No actual set release date yet either, that's a huge red flag given it's supposed to be released in a few months.

The devs need to implement something with the environment as the acid hits surfaces
And players....
Zenomorph acid blood eats through floors and bulkheads, and these Marines are shooting heavy weapons at aliens on a friggin’ Space Station.
How did they forget that?!?!!!

@Le Troll Face projection
@Le Troll Face insert sad violin here
Has so much potential, i'd personally like a more hardcore feel to it. Looks a little 'arcade shooter' atm. No hitmarkers, limited hud, much harder hitting aliens would be nice.
Probably going to be an option to do that, and up the difficulty
They are playing on default difficulty. Aliens will hit harder on harder difficulties and are very likely to have improved AI on those modes.
a little after the 7 min mark it confirms low difficulty
And first person perspective
@@porcu12345 yeah and mutations are there too
Damn. Third person only and aliens with health bars, come on guys wth?
Look up darktide
Totally agree. Darktide... Cnt wait to play it...
@@squanchy.. Thx
actually third person perspective makes more sense when you're playing mostly on consoles, and maybe they are their target audience
@@enteromara6962 Yes, the borderlands games famously did terribly on consoles as first person shooters. Stop excusing bad game design that does not fit with the IP in the name of making it 'suitable for the console market'.
This is going to need some extremely deep progression and an interesting story or something to justify a price tag over $30
$5 game
It’s 10$

It probaly would be 40
The 3 player co-ops are killing me. Where are the 4 players games this year.
Has McCafferty seen Aliens yet or is he going to rate this one a 5.9 too?
Only a few will notice, but this is the best comment ever
5.9 missing one ... hahaha
Not everything can be COD...
Ripley : They cut the power. ...
Hudson: What do you mean "THEY cut the power"? How could they cut the power, man? They're animals!
lol hell yeah!
This reminds me of the " Aliens Armageddon" arcade game. It seems that it does not really have a huge story line, and you just face off against all kinds of random Xenomorphs in wave after wave.
That game wasn’t fun, because there were a lot of purposely unavoidable hits so you had to put more money in.
Exactly what I'm thinking!
Yawn
This game is actually being pretty well taken by the WWZ game community, quite surprising.
Is it the same creators?
They have a community?
Looks similar to the Division while have that World War Z vibes except with a bit of horror aspect. Also it is a little similar to Resident Evil 4, 5, 6 in horror, but it’s not like Alien: Isolation in terms of jump scares.
@@Captain-Jinn lmao my exact thoughts
@@Captain-Jinn yes, it is still quite active and interesting!
Seeing Working Joes again is giving me some bad flashbacks.

This looks like World War Z but the skins have been switched from zombies to xenomorphs.
Hopefully it'll be longer
looks reskinned honestly except alot of zombies it just aliens with tankier health and less of them
Straight up. Repetitive and dead 1 day after launch. Should’ve been AVP 2 they’re making. This looks boring and is painful to just watch

Why do IGN folk always seem like they've never played a game before when they do playthroughs?
Honestly Matt (the Chief Creative Officer from ColdIron) seemed worse than the IGN player, he's the one who held his shotgun out checking corners with a giant flashing "NO AMMO" on screen
In this playthrough, the IGN guy seemed okay. The actual devs seemed bored out of their mind in comparison
“World War Z Aliens”
Its the new dlc
Haha
@@Ghostface-ej9kw 😂😂😂😂😂
hahahahahahahaahahahaha
A permanent motion tracker on the screen shouldn't be a thing. You should have to decide about having your motion tracker out or your weapons. A big part of aliens is not knowing where and when the aliens are going to come from. A perma motion tracker kinda gives away the tension. What do you guys think? And also perhaps have an option to get rid of those big red "X"s and include more maps with less lighting.
Or possibly having a special class that responds for the motion, detecting aliens. Would be great
That’s why AvP 2010 is goat
The chances of you always watching the small tracker in the corner is unlikely when theres 20 coming at you right in front...
Colonial Marines at least got that part right.
@@ReaperWolf68 The point isn't that you'll be looking at it when there's 20 barreling at you. It's that you should be pulling it out to check and see if any are coming. That being said, it should be relegated to a class function/utility that one person handles, to promote a bit more strategy or tension. Two people on point, one person keeping an eye on possible threats. For example: In the movies, Hudson travels around with his out and his gun held away, while Vasquez or whoever else stays alert with their gun ready. It shouldn't be an ever-present thing on the screen, as it kills tension if you inherently know where everything is at a glance.
Not trying to complain, just stating why having a constant motion tracker vs. one that requires a cost in the form of lowering your weapon adds a layer of strategy and danger to the situation.
This looks painfully generic.
"Too many Aliens"

@@dylankersten3383 Exactly looks identical to world war z
An animation for something dieing is enough. Don't need that big red X
Agreed. It's extremely obnoxious. If anything it can pip red on the motion tracker as it dies to be less irritating.
X's mark precision hits my guy
It's something that will surely be able to be turned off in settings anyways
@@thatoneguyfive8701 They're talking about the Giant UI "frame and x" that occurs when something dies, not the yellow/red hitmarker splats. Different things dude.
EXACTLY. Hate that screen clutter
This looks like one of those digital only titles that people forget about 1 week after release.
Wrong
@JAG REVIEWS Wrong
Ehehe Thats so true mate. It remind me the Anthem. 3 Years waiting to forget it in 3 days after his realese.
First thing's first. That X that appears when you kill an Alien, needs to go. At least let us disable it in the settings. Awful.
True xD
The third person viewpoint takes away a lot of tension that's needed.
You can definitely make a tense game using third person, take the new resident evil games for instance, but it just needs to be done properly; walking speed being default, tighter and darker spaces are just a couple of things that come to mind
silent hill
Dead Space ...
Probably because alot of the popular games now are 3rd person
@@Dougiewoog Ah, so in other words, illogical design? :D
All of the exploding xeno bodies close to the characters, they should be dead 100% over. Even dumber is that they just walk over large splashes of acid blood, which would melt their boots.
That's because it was on normal difficulty. Also no FF on normal.
and melt through the ground/metal/structure
They literally say that on higher difficulties its hard to kill up close as the blood does so much damage. Did you even watch the damn thing ?
Well then you wouldn't have a game would you numbnuts.
@@GamerGypps apparently he didn't
Would be cool to show damage on the humans when getting hurt/burnt/scratched etc and when healed you look fresh.
They should also show dismemberment when aliens are shot like the classic AvP for pc..
There is no fear in this. 3rd person also doesn't seem to give enough of a claustrophobic feeling. Aliens just charge in like zombies and die in hordes. Not for me.
Exactly this. Have the devs learnt nothing from the movies etc.
Ummm did you not see the sentry gun scenes in the film?
@@ben2741 That last for what? like 30 secs?. what point are you trying to make?
@peng917 That scene last a few minutes at minimum. Benjamin's point is that in Aliens the Xenomorphs do indeed charge in like zombies and die in hordes. Xenomorphs only try a different approach after that plan fails. Even then they're 2nd plan is more of the same except they sneak in through the ceiling and then charge in like zombies and die in hordes. Hordes/numbers are kinda the Xenomorphs strength in Aliens...
@agent2800 Did you ever Colonial Marines?
"Oh no it's a boss" "it's okay just roll passed him"
Exactly bosses need to be required
This game looks leagues behind the marines experience we got in Aliens vs Predator, which was released 11 years ago.
Totally agree.
Aliens Colonial Marines was and still is an excellent game.
