Fun fact, the alien does in fact always know where you are. its programed with 2 AI brains, the main one doesnt know where you are but searches. the second one always knows where you are and throws the first brain hints.
The alien knows where you are at all times. It knows this because it knows where you aren't. By subtracting where you are from where you aren't , or where you aren't from where you are (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
The alien absolutely can enter vents that you use. Happened to me once, I was happily crawling through one, and that thing just effing rounded the corner right in front of me. We practically bumped foreheads. Then I died.
That’s probably because you used vents a lot. The game intentionally will send the Alien to break some off your habits. A similar thing will happen if you use lockers a lot. The alien will start sniffing and sometimes for a lot longer than usual.
The sounds are spot on. The set design and sounds in Alien are what made it. They nailed the little things in Isolation. The little beeps, random rattles, ambients everywhere
The longer you stay in one area increases the chances of the Xeno first brain telling second brain exactly where you are. so moving through areas more swiftly without sprinting helps a lot
Perhaps he was referring to hear the screams through the comms? I love this game has full silence for space scenes like you can tell there is no sound in space
@@thefoosterchannel Please make this into a series. I dont have the balls to play it. Installed it 6 months ago and still havent fired it up. Easier to watch you play haha
@@thefoosterchannel Yes Fooster, we are loving every minute of it. Please, from the bottom of my heart, continue the 2+ hour lovely video's of horror, that is Alien isolation. Just look at your view counts on your latest video's, I think the people have spoken, AI is clearly the winner here. I'm so hyped for alien Isolation wooooo!
The amount of self restraint this game exercises is insane. It takes forever to just SEE the alien, but you’re absolutely wetting yourself the entire time anyway. That’s some writing skill right there. It feels so real. Such a build up. So much apprehension, even if you don’t know the series you just feel it in the air. You are being hunted.
A few tips: 1. The xeno is invincible. It will temporarily flee from the flamethrower, but anything else is just a dinner bell to it. 2. You can not wait the xeno out. Once it's in an area, it will continue to patrol until you escape to another area of the station. 3. Certain areas are scripted to have it, but it can be summoned most anywhere if you make too much noise (i.e. weapons fire). 4. You can tell if it's hiding in an overhead vent by the drool. 5. All enemies will pull you out of a hiding spot if they see you enter it. 6. The ai in this game works on actual line of sight and noise. Hiding spots are only useful if they break line of sight (so you don't count as hidden just by being in them). The ai in this game is *smart* and _will_ figure out where you went if you make it too obvious.
i really appreciate Fooster taking time to look at stuff and getting immersed into horror games rather than just talking over everything and rushing through the game. We all get to be scared together and enjoy well made games and ambiance. Really ups the games atmosphere and experience.
This actually seems like the one time he's way too scared to explore everything, and I don't blame him. He blew by so many access vents and other rooms and items especially when dealing with the Androids.
Its a balance. I don't really enjoy no commentary play throughs of a game as it feels a bit flat to me, but you don't want someone nattering on about stuff during cutscenes and missing important information. Fooster is one of those who does it well talking and making you feel like your there with him when he's playing but able to shut his mouth and listen when the game is telling him things. I saw another youtuber recently who took ages on a puzzle because they'd talked over the vital bit of information they needed to solve it. Gone off, found the pieces but then couldn't solve the puzzle because they'd missed how to put it together as they were talking about a trip to Austria during the cutscene.
In the 1986 film Aliens, Ellen Ripley learns from Burke that her daughter died in a deleted scene released after the home video release. Ripley's daughter is also featured in the 2014 game Alien: Isolation, which takes place 15 years after Alien and 42 years before Aliens. In the game, Ripley learns that Amanda grew up, married, and died during her 57-year stasis.
Burke: 'We found your daughter, well, information about her. Let's see. Amanda Ripley McClaren, married name, I guess. Age 66 at time of death. Cancer. Huh. Guess they haven't cured that type yet.'
FINALLY. For years I have thought that Fooster and Alien Isolation were a match made in heaven. Gonna watch the hell outta this over dinner tonight 😂👽😱
I do not blame you at all for "nerding out". I'm the same way: My earliest science fiction horror films were Alien, Predator and Event Horizon, and my reactions to Alien: Isolation were very similar to yours. Nostalgia, followed by a sense of dread, knowing what's to come. Your passion for this game is infectious, and I'd love to see more of it.
That’s the best thing about Isolation. If you’re like us and grew up with this absolute horror of a franchise with the scariest monster of all, you jump into this game knowing what you’re up against. Absolutely I was exploding my pants in terror. 😂😂 My husband thought I was being a baby and then I made him play it while I watched. (We both loved the Alien movies growing up) He screamed louder than I did, and tried to back out several times. I made him finish it. Was a great tune!
This game is 10 years old at this point. 10. YEARS. And yet it's genuinely so much better than most AAA games released today. Whether it's in terms of gameplay, graphics, ambience, optimization, everything. You know what games are 10 years apart? Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros. The ORIGINAL. The gaming industry is so incredibly broken it's just straight up sad honestly
I tip my hat to you Fooster, in the 10 years I've enjoyed this game you have shown me something I never knew. I never realised that you could get the Alien to show up before the Tech Support vent cut scene, when I saw you get got by the Alien in the flight terminal transit area my jaw dropped I always thought it was scripted to just scare with the sound, so thank you for showing me something new with the game.
I like to mess with it for all the terror it's caused me, so whenever I get into a transit shuttle or elevator, I always bang around the inside to call the Xeno, and laugh as it drops and the door's already closing. A lot of "safe" areas are only safe if you don't bang around too much lol (Also, if you want to troll the Xeno as well, I recommend NOT banging around near the Comms elevator where you pick up the hacker. That vent is WAY closer than it seems...)
@@thefoosterchannel think it just wanted to say hello and welcome, but from what I saw you were doing well, its a game that crests and drops in places but well worth a full play through that adds if only a little something to the Alien universe.
I believe its a mechanic to push players who like to turtle up and move slowly. It waits for a while and then in the word of the Xeno 'fk it I want human' Kinda sucks if u spend time looking around for all items and lore as a new player
You should turn the music on for this game. Not hearing Alien style music is absolutely criminal. It is also a little anticlimactic without it. Can't wait for a series of this!!
I realised some sound was missing when I didn’t hear what I call as the ‘heart beater’ sound when he calls for the first tram hoping the alien doesn’t appear, and the sudden sound effects of when the alien starts killing people in the main lobby of systech spire
@@VaciliNikoMavich thousands of people have played this game on UA-cam none of them have been copyright struck. The music was all created specifically for the game and there’s no like licensed music by pop stars or anything
@@VaciliNikoMavich nah i mean he does this for every game he plays so i guess its because of copyright, but what i mean is theres no reason to worry for this game.
Alien is one of those games that's timeless, in both horror and graphics. You can get someone who has watched the movies to still jump while playing the game. Glad to see you play it!
Why would watching the movies make someone less susceptible to jump scares in a game that isn't based on any movie, it's not like we can see it coming lol tht doesn't make sense
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 watching or having knowledge of the movie before, you know what the alien looks like. Even when you are expecting the alien’s appearance, it can still get people to jump. What I’m saying is, the game can scare still, even if you are expecting the horror
I noticed you turned off the music, you should turn it back on if and or when you play again. it really, really helps with the immersion. It enhances the experience dramatically.
At least you're playing on normal mode. We pressured a friend into playing it on hard mode. She was so terrified that we were in discord with her, guiding her, and encouraging her to get out of the lockers. In her WHOLE game play she hid a total of 300-400 times in the lockers freaking.
Props to your friend for going through with it. Hard difficulty is the proper way to experience this game. On normal difficulty the Alien will not search for you in vents unless you attract it.
FOOSTER! Don't forget to update your map at the glowing wall terminals! They look like angled white glowing panels waist high. This game took me 4 years to complete with multiple restarts. The anxiety was too much at times I thought I was gonna have a panic attack. 😂
Yup, over 2 years and still not finished it. When I started I was all gung-ho and played with headphones, at night, in the dark. That was all kinds of nope.
This exact thing happened to me at 1:12:33 on my first playthrough. I swear I've watched many lets play and first playthrough videos of this game and never found someone that had the alien drop here. Thanks for not making me feel alone.
You're safe in that area until the transit car is about to arrive, then the alien can drop if you make noise. Fooster ran for a split second at exactly the moment it was possible for the alien to drop.
Yup. Two conditions cause him to appear early there which are making too much noise (which is faster) and taking too long to get to the transit; which is what Foos did. If you take too long, he appears regardless and automatically homes in on your location.
You keep walking past map updates and passing up opportunities to save the game. Always save when you can! Was fun watching you panic. You had about as many panic attacks playing this as I did. Loved this game. Just don’t recommend playing before bed. Really messes up your ability to sleep. Also programs your brain to scan every room you enter for hiding spots and places a xenomorph could jump out of.
You must be wearing your " big brave boy" underpants today chap ! Classic Foosterish fun. That was effing awesome, I hope you are going to continue with this. I have been watching your old Scum series, you have not changed a bit, good stuff. As always, be well, be safe and be good young fella.
I was here at the same time, but I went to put on a video to fall asleep to, and then clicked on one of his videos then realising it was 4am now and I accidently watched the whole video (I normally just click a random video to play to fall asleep to)
I remember playing an early version in VR. I remember getting pierced by the alien, and I actually felt a tingle in my chest as I looked down and saw I was toast. 😂
It was terrifying. Every time I got killed, there was a split second my brain forgot that I was perfectly safe at home and that nothing bad could happen.
THIS GAME IS SO NOSTALGIC. it's one of the first games to truly scare me; i spent most of my time playing hiding in lockers lol such a good game all the way through. i agree with you about chases too. tension during a chase is my biggest weakness. i really hope you continue to play this!!!
You know, for someone who said they like to look around you missed so much stuff, lockers and cupboards with crafting items, maps etc it really was frustrating
Ah it's actually because it could easily see him under the gurney! It's got a line of sight after all. By this point it hasn't had time to learn much of anything yet.
I'm sooooooo happy you're playing this! It is my favorite game to watch others play as I have never been able to make it past the loading screen. I'm even more happy it's you because you are my favorite youtuber to watch.
One of my biggest fears is being followed/chased so this game took me FOREVER to finish 😂 it’s definitely become one of my favorites and I’m so happy you’re finally playing it!
@@thefoosterchannel omg especially if the next task makes you backtrack to a previous area. There were times where I had to step away from the game for like 10 minutes because I just couldn’t take it anymore 😂
Running makes enough noise to bring the alien out, that’s why you only run when it’s absolutely necessary…make sure to search all the bodies you see, and also red cooler looking boxes have stuff too even though they look small
Only found your channel a few days ago and binged your entire back catalogue since. Made it to this point but I cannot watch the game even though I know your reaction will be priceless. I traumatised myself with the original Alien when I was 7 on my own in the dark, I watched the entire movie through squinted eyes and my fingers in my ears. It took me 8 years before I was able to enter a dark room without having to reach around for the light first fully expecting to either have my arm grabbed or see the Xenomorph standing in the doorway 😂 I also had the honour of meeting H. R. Giger who gave me a personal tour of his museum in Austria and an in depth insight into his creations and inspirations for them, this didn't help. Still to this day THE GREATEST horror creature and story created by man. Lastly Fooster I'm pleased to say that you have quickly become my favourite UA-camr, the unfiltered terror, the hilarious remarks, reactions, camaraderie with Fisk and sheer minerals to push through when every fiber is screaming no. A Fooster video has now literally become the highlight of my day to kick back with.
At 1:20:02, I was SO relieved that you hid in that damn locker. I'd have spent the rest of the video in there if it were me, so mad props to you for being brave enough to exit!
And I died laughing every time after this moment when Fooster saw a locker or cabinet to hide in and said he needed to remember it was there in case he needed it, but then the moment the excrement hit the fan, that plan to hide went right out the window into outer space! 😂
One thing I always forget…Ripply records the message after the Nostromo explodes aboard the shuttle. If they “found the black box” it’s the shuttle one meaning the company found her first, pulled the info about the xeno and set her back to drift ofcourse.
The black box is the main ships, not her escape shuttle. Idea of a black box is it logs data and survives a crash/explosion, so you can assertain what caused the crash. So my understanding is it's the main Nostromo's balckbox
As a deaf person, despite this game heavily relying on sounds, it is my absolute favorite! I use a woojer strap when I play. It vibrates from sounds and changes vibrations accordingly. Nothing is more terrifying than feeling the slow increasing thump thump of the alien's footsteps as it gets closer to you. It is so much fun!
I think this is the first video of yours that I've come across, and I have to say, I'm impressed! Your humor getting through the scary situations is great, and you're an engaging player. I'm excited to make it through this playlist and look at the rest of your catalog:)
So glad to see isolation still getting the love it deserves- if any game is timeless, it’s this one. They really perfected the ai and aesthetic in it in a way that really makes it feel like you’re in danger, even when you rarely arent
I’ve watched this game played by so many different random people a few years back and I’ve enjoyed it every time. But being able to watch you play this, given how you’ve always made even the scarier games enjoyable to watch, I am happy to watch you play this one. Thank you! 😁❤️
this game is so good the atmosphere is perfect. i never progressed much passed the part of the game where the xenomorph starts actively hunting you because i was too scared to move around
Its great that you got attacked by the alien when waiting for the first tram! Its pretty rare, enough that its considered an easter egg that most people didn't know was possible. Its also something I really like because it subverts common game design. In basically every horror game of the last 20ish years, you have a safety period at the beginning of the game, where you are 100% safe no matter what because the game is still tutorializing you and slowly building up the threat, only after all this is done is there a clear "the game starts now" moment where you are finally in threat of the main monster. Its funny because everytime you watch someone play a horror game you always see them getting scared early on because most people haven't realized that the game won't put you into danger without teaching you how to get out of danger first, so they are getting scared for nothing. However, while this game DOES do this, there is a very clear "the alien is now a real threat" moment (well 2 actually, as the first one is slightly scripted, though still dangerous). But this one moment after the crazy guy dies and you have to wait for the tram is designed just like any other game, where its meant to put you on edge but is actually totally safe. But it subverts this by having a secret timer where if you take too long to get into the tram, the alien will be unleashed. Most people will get into the tram without noticing the alien, or hear the alien drop down right as they hit the button to close the tram door if they were slow, just barely missing the alien. While there is an invisible timer keeping the alien from attacking you, the timer can be bipassed if you make enough noise to call the alien early (which is what you did by running). This usually doesn't happen as first time players usually just stand around waiting. So basically, its awesome that this game is just willing to put you in a position of getting attacked by the alien way earlier than the tutorial for dealing with the alien! Its meant to be a moment that you never get attacked your first time and then feel safe there in future playthroughs, letting down your guard until you inevitably make too much noise and discover you were never really safe there all along. Its a very aggressive game that doesn't hold back, and that's why its one of the best! I hope I explained that well, I feel like the point of the subversion wasn't explained properly, but I'm bad at explaining things without using visuals.
@@stellarproductions8888 "This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training... right?" " Why don't you put her in charge?!" Hudson was the one liner king in that movie! lol
remember kids, its all up to rng if the alien always following you ontop of the map decides to phase into existence through any given vent in a room when you enter it
This was such a great video! I've seen a few other play-throughs, but I love the way you narrate your videos. I was introduced to the Alien film series by my father, and I still consider the original Alien to be one of the greatest films ever made. I LOVE how this game perfectly recreated the aesthetic of the first film, as well as that feeling of barely-contained panic. Even the little Easter eggs - the little dippy bird thing from the Nostromo appearing multiple times, but also nods to Ridley Scott's other great films - like in your second video, when you have to get the key card from the locked unit in Medical and one of the other things in the cabinet is a little origami unicorn, from Blade Runner - another truly phenomenal film.
FOOSTER You are not going to believe this BUT, i searched on youtube today, in the afternoon, for Fooster, Alien isolation, and i saw that you didn't play or made any videos for this game, and what happened some minutes ago......, YOU post this!!!! Come ON! This is awesome mate
You finally playing this game. This was one we all have been waiting for you start playing as it was match made in hell of your worst nightmares. We gonna enjoy the fear and excitement over this tonight.
Omg I love when you talk in conversation with the characters. And I love when you change your voice style to match being in a cave or places with echo.
This game was revolutionary at the time for its AI design. The creature is actually governed by two different systems, the creature itself and a kind of overwatch AI that tells the alien where to hunt, occasionally giving away the players general vicinity. So the alien might not know exactly where you're hiding but it's never too far away.
This game is amazing. Creative Assembly's work on this game shows how much they love and respect the Alien franchise. I really loved this one. I can't wait to see the full gameplay! Thanks Fooster!!!
Alien Isolation is an underrated gem, the atmosphere is absolutely top notch, Sevastopol Station has such a sense of place, feels like a real lived in location, so much history, lore and environmental storytelling, the graphics are stunning, the Alien with its adaptable AI, learning and changing its behavior from your encounters, the entire game captures the vibe of the first Alien movie perfectly. One of my all time favorite games. 👏👏👏👏👏
I love that we share this love for this film franchise. I remember watching Aliens with my dad when I was a kid, and I was FASCINATED. Alien is genuinely one of my favorite movies. I was SWEATING the first time I played this, and I just could not get myself through it it scared me so much! 😂
I went "OH SHIT" aloud when I saw that you posted this game lol. The fact that the alien learns and you can't rely on the same tactics to stay safe for too long...💀💀💀 I'm cheering for you(r heart), Fooster!!!
So fun fact, I just got the game and booted it up. I got to the part after Axel dies and we have to call the transit. I made a joke to my nana who was watching me play that "Wouldn't it be funny if the Alien was hunting me right now?". I heard loud boss music and it screeching but just thought it was ambience. I got to the nearest save and then got off for the night. Only to watch this video for the first time and realize it was hunting us that entire time. Meaning I somehow didn't get attacked and made a joke that was actually true.
Love the content. I've noticed that you're experiencing an audio bug with the alien. If you cap your FPS to 90 or less, then this bug goes away and it will be 10x more immersive!
OMG! FINALLY Fooster is playing this. I've been waiting forever for you to play this. Best Movie franchise with scared Fooster is the Best Match!. PLEASEEE make a series out of this!! It will be a dream come true!!
I've only recently stumbled upon your channel but I'm so glad I did. As fun as your gameplays and commentary are to watch, I love how you take the game seriously. So many game creators just joke around too much sometimes and for me, I find it hard to immerse myself in the game because of that. Great job in playing this game btw. I absolutely never could 😂
Just found your channel and watched your Days Gone series. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite streamers to watch. You rank right up there with theRadBrad! Keep it coming and love the content.
Soon as I saw the thumbnail (specifically the scanner in the thumbnail), I knew what was going on my second monitor for the next 2.5 hours. Glad to see you enter the nightmare, Fooster! Best of luck to you.
Ohhhhh maaaaannnnn!!! This horror game is definitely one of the ones that just keeps you on the verge of panic with fear….and watching Fooster get scared but also fascinated by the story and gameplay is something I could watch all day every day! With that being said I’d like to put in my vote for more Alien Isolation! Soooooo gooood!
I’ve re watched this entire series 3 times now, by far my favourite collab between my current favourite UA-camr fooster and one of my fav thrillers alien 😂😂 Your stress relieves my stress I won’t lie 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fun fact btw fooster, idk if you know this, but the ai actually has 2 brains. One that knows where you are at all times, and one that doesn’t. The one that knows where you are slowly feeds info to the one that doesn’t. If you stay in place for too long, it will ALWAYS find you
Also the alien has 3 vision cones + blindspots. So depending on which vision cone detects you have less time to get out and break line of sight. If you're skilled enough and somewhat lucky you can move in it's blindspot.
@@minicle426 yes, it changes how often the mother brains drip feeds into to the other brain, changes how often the Alien will be on patrol. It also has a better sense of the player' objective. Even learns how to handle the user having flamethrower, instead of running away they will eventually hover just outside attack range
You can run if on your tracker the alien is further than .96 removed. The tracker will give you a warning bleep when the alien is entering into your orbit again. I loved playing this game as well. It was so scary, and the design of the game psychologically impacts you to slow down. There was one point in the game where I dropped a soundmaker inside of a floor panel, making the alien crawl into the vent. And then I'd stand on top of the alien after reopening the panel. He'd scream and hiss, but his animation gets stuck if you do this, so you can just stand on his head without him attacking you. Hilarious! That cut the terror.
I LOVED the Aliens series! I literally fall asleep to them🤣I couldn't get into anyone else playing this tho and i didn't want to play for myself cuz it looked heavily stealth based and i would've fallen asleep 😅 PLEEAAASEE make this a series! Hearing Sigourneys voice was sublime...
Great video. The whole medical area and getting the trauma kit was one of my fave bits when I played it. It's tension on a stick and gave me stomach ache.
Fun fact, the alien does in fact always know where you are. its programed with 2 AI brains, the main one doesnt know where you are but searches. the second one always knows where you are and throws the first brain hints.
😮
The alien knows where you are at all times. It knows this because it knows where you aren't. By subtracting where you are from where you aren't , or where you aren't from where you are (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
@@thefoosterchannelSomeone has created a Mod that disables this, which also makes the Alien unpredictable in when it might turn up.

The alien absolutely can enter vents that you use. Happened to me once, I was happily crawling through one, and that thing just effing rounded the corner right in front of me. We practically bumped foreheads. Then I died.
That’s probably because you used vents a lot. The game intentionally will send the Alien to break some off your habits. A similar thing will happen if you use lockers a lot. The alien will start sniffing and sometimes for a lot longer than usual.
😂😂😂😂
@@gilet102that's so scary. The aliens ai is smart af
Xenomorph: BUMPER CARS 😊
The sounds are spot on. The set design and sounds in Alien are what made it. They nailed the little things in Isolation. The little beeps, random rattles, ambients everywhere
100% - this is why I adore the game - the soundscape is spot-on.
Absolutely nailed the audio and visual style of the original movie, so so good.
The fact it puts you in a deep sense of dread. Waiting for the alien to show itself.
And it doesn't. I love the start of this game!
The longer you stay in one area increases the chances of the Xeno first brain telling second brain exactly where you are. so moving through areas more swiftly without sprinting helps a lot
I'll try to keep that in mind
Fooster: Surely you would hear the screams
Ridley Scott: IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU....

The amount of self restraint this game exercises is insane. It takes forever to just SEE the alien, but you’re absolutely wetting yourself the entire time anyway. That’s some writing skill right there. It feels so real. Such a build up. So much apprehension, even if you don’t know the series you just feel it in the air. You are being hunted.
A few tips:
1. The xeno is invincible. It will temporarily flee from the flamethrower, but anything else is just a dinner bell to it.
2. You can not wait the xeno out. Once it's in an area, it will continue to patrol until you escape to another area of the station.
3. Certain areas are scripted to have it, but it can be summoned most anywhere if you make too much noise (i.e. weapons fire).
4. You can tell if it's hiding in an overhead vent by the drool.
5. All enemies will pull you out of a hiding spot if they see you enter it.
6. The ai in this game works on actual line of sight and noise. Hiding spots are only useful if they break line of sight (so you don't count as hidden just by being in them). The ai in this game is *smart* and _will_ figure out where you went if you make it too obvious.

I don't really enjoy no commentary play throughs of a game as it feels a bit flat to me, but you don't want someone nattering on about stuff during cutscenes and missing important information.

honestly the flare should be your comfort item in this game
Guns doesnt do anything but aggravate them, aliens have been seen with a temperature weakness to heat
That gun ain’t doing anything to nobody
its his emotional support flare
Gun = loud, loud = alien, alien = fucked
This game is 10 years old now and it was a breath of fresh air from nowhere, it's still unique and special till this day.
Yeah, and made by the Creative Assembly no less
In the 1986 film Aliens, Ellen Ripley learns from Burke that her daughter died in a deleted scene released after the home video release. Ripley's daughter is also featured in the 2014 game Alien: Isolation, which takes place 15 years after Alien and 42 years before Aliens. In the game, Ripley learns that Amanda grew up, married, and died during her 57-year stasis.
According to Weyland-Yutani.
Yup basically is WY point of view and if that was even the truth.
Burke: 'We found your daughter, well, information about her. Let's see. Amanda Ripley McClaren, married name, I guess. Age 66 at time of death. Cancer. Huh. Guess they haven't cured that type yet.'
@@itsjustme8947fun fact, the picture of Amanda in her golden years, is actually a picture of Sigourney’s mom in real life.
@@NotLikeUs17 Yep, I've known that since they did the 'making of' special like 30+ years ago, but I'm sure others will appreciate the shared info! 🙂
PLEASE make this a series and long-play videos! This game is amazing!
You guys seemed to really enjoy it so we will see 👀
@@thefoosterchannel It's a bit frightening, but I forced myself to play it because its Alien! I never regretted it and its such a good story/game.
FINALLY. For years I have thought that Fooster and Alien Isolation were a match made in heaven. Gonna watch the hell outta this over dinner tonight 😂👽😱
Same!!!
SAME X3
In Fooster's case. Hell.
Same
same
I do not blame you at all for "nerding out". I'm the same way: My earliest science fiction horror films were Alien, Predator and Event Horizon, and my reactions to Alien: Isolation were very similar to yours. Nostalgia, followed by a sense of dread, knowing what's to come.
Your passion for this game is infectious, and I'd love to see more of it.
That’s the best thing about Isolation. If you’re like us and grew up with this absolute horror of a franchise with the scariest monster of all, you jump into this game knowing what you’re up against. Absolutely I was exploding my pants in terror. 😂😂
My husband thought I was being a baby and then I made him play it while I watched. (We both loved the Alien movies growing up) He screamed louder than I did, and tried to back out several times. I made him finish it. Was a great tune!
This game is 10 years old at this point. 10. YEARS. And yet it's genuinely so much better than most AAA games released today. Whether it's in terms of gameplay, graphics, ambience, optimization, everything. You know what games are 10 years apart? Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros. The ORIGINAL.
The gaming industry is so incredibly broken it's just straight up sad honestly
I tip my hat to you Fooster, in the 10 years I've enjoyed this game you have shown me something I never knew.
I never realised that you could get the Alien to show up before the Tech Support vent cut scene, when I saw you get got by the Alien in the flight terminal transit area my jaw dropped I always thought it was scripted to just scare with the sound, so thank you for showing me something new with the game.
I like to mess with it for all the terror it's caused me, so whenever I get into a transit shuttle or elevator, I always bang around the inside to call the Xeno, and laugh as it drops and the door's already closing. A lot of "safe" areas are only safe if you don't bang around too much lol
(Also, if you want to troll the Xeno as well, I recommend NOT banging around near the Comms elevator where you pick up the hacker. That vent is WAY closer than it seems...)
Right!? I thought it was all smooth sailing up until the cutscene 😅
Lmao so it wasn’t even supposed to be there but with my luck it was 😂
@@thefoosterchannel think it just wanted to say hello and welcome, but from what I saw you were doing well, its a game that crests and drops in places but well worth a full play through that adds if only a little something to the Alien universe.
I believe its a mechanic to push players who like to turtle up and move slowly. It waits for a while and then in the word of the Xeno 'fk it I want human'
Kinda sucks if u spend time looking around for all items and lore as a new player
You should turn the music on for this game. Not hearing Alien style music is absolutely criminal. It is also a little anticlimactic without it.
Can't wait for a series of this!!
I realised some sound was missing when I didn’t hear what I call as the ‘heart beater’ sound when he calls for the first tram hoping the alien doesn’t appear, and the sudden sound effects of when the alien starts killing people in the main lobby of systech spire
Probably wants to avoid potential copywrite strikes.
@@VaciliNikoMavich thousands of people have played this game on UA-cam none of them have been copyright struck. The music was all created specifically for the game and there’s no like licensed music by pop stars or anything
@@Gideon_the_Seraph Oh. Maybe to just be able to hear the game better?
@@VaciliNikoMavich nah i mean he does this for every game he plays so i guess its because of copyright, but what i mean is theres no reason to worry for this game.
Alien is one of those games that's timeless, in both horror and graphics. You can get someone who has watched the movies to still jump while playing the game. Glad to see you play it!
Why would watching the movies make someone less susceptible to jump scares in a game that isn't based on any movie, it's not like we can see it coming lol tht doesn't make sense
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 watching or having knowledge of the movie before, you know what the alien looks like. Even when you are expecting the alien’s appearance, it can still get people to jump. What I’m saying is, the game can scare still, even if you are expecting the horror
I rank this game as the best game in 15 years at least. Everything else is a copy of something else or just not as good.
Holy crap the anxiety and fear in your voice is so genuine that it starts becoming scary for me who is only watching.
I noticed you turned off the music, you should turn it back on if and or when you play again. it really, really helps with the immersion. It enhances the experience dramatically.
I'm sure he did it for us
Wrong; it warns you when things are close. That reduces immersion/tension.
I can't hear the alien when the music kicks in, but at the same time, it does freak me out a lot haha
@@ZoeSummers1701A wrong; you’re an idiot
At least you're playing on normal mode. We pressured a friend into playing it on hard mode. She was so terrified that we were in discord with her, guiding her, and encouraging her to get out of the lockers. In her WHOLE game play she hid a total of 300-400 times in the lockers freaking.
I was in them for 20 minutes each time I played
Props to your friend for going through with it. Hard difficulty is the proper way to experience this game. On normal difficulty the Alien will not search for you in vents unless you attract it.
@@jessemaskell157 alien does search in vents but it’s very rare
@@jessemaskell157 Are you sure? I played on normal difficulty, and it did search vents, got eaten a few times.
and they hear you when you got you mic on xD
FOOSTER! Don't forget to update your map at the glowing wall terminals! They look like angled white glowing panels waist high. This game took me 4 years to complete with multiple restarts. The anxiety was too much at times I thought I was gonna have a panic attack. 😂
I I find myself shouting at the TV to Update Map and pick up all the items😂
Yup, over 2 years and still not finished it. When I started I was all gung-ho and played with headphones, at night, in the dark. That was all kinds of nope.
A few people let me know about them thank you 👍
@@dunny666watch your blood pressure that’s not good for you
What difficulty were you on?
This is one of the best games ever made in my opinion. Please make this a series.
This exact thing happened to me at 1:12:33 on my first playthrough. I swear I've watched many lets play and first playthrough videos of this game and never found someone that had the alien drop here. Thanks for not making me feel alone.
You're safe in that area until the transit car is about to arrive, then the alien can drop if you make noise. Fooster ran for a split second at exactly the moment it was possible for the alien to drop.
Yup. Two conditions cause him to appear early there which are making too much noise (which is faster) and taking too long to get to the transit; which is what Foos did. If you take too long, he appears regardless and automatically homes in on your location.
You keep walking past map updates and passing up opportunities to save the game. Always save when you can! Was fun watching you panic. You had about as many panic attacks playing this as I did. Loved this game. Just don’t recommend playing before bed. Really messes up your ability to sleep. Also programs your brain to scan every room you enter for hiding spots and places a xenomorph could jump out of.
That's what Dead Space did to me. The most abnormal nightmares I've ever experienced.
And the books...the books where SO MUCH WORSE.
😂
THERE IS NO WAY, Just few days ago I went looking through the channel for this game, because for some reason I always thought you played it. Let's go!
You must be wearing your " big brave boy" underpants today chap ! Classic Foosterish fun. That was effing awesome, I hope you are going to continue with this. I have been watching your old Scum series, you have not changed a bit, good stuff. As always, be well, be safe and be good young fella.
Thank you very much Fizz 👍
Ligament
Will you make a, part 2 soon?!@@thefoosterchannel
It's the 1 am time.. and we here with another horror video. 😨 Would love a full series on this! I've liked the video to do my part!
3 pm here.
1am here for me now just started watching lol
I was here at the same time, but I went to put on a video to fall asleep to, and then clicked on one of his videos then realising it was 4am now and I accidently watched the whole video (I normally just click a random video to play to fall asleep to)
I noticed you edit your voice track to suit the ambience around you, and had to double back to make sure. Talk about immersion - great video my man!
12:00 when Samuel does this, you know he is a robot, Ash in Alien 1979 does exactly the same warmup.
The Working Joe's do it too. But you obviously know they are androids. 😊
I remember playing an early version in VR. I remember getting pierced by the alien, and I actually felt a tingle in my chest as I looked down and saw I was toast. 😂
OMG I can't even imagine the anxiety of playing this game in VR!
I can’t imagine what this is like in VR
It was terrifying. Every time I got killed, there was a split second my brain forgot that I was perfectly safe at home and that nothing bad could happen.
THIS GAME IS SO NOSTALGIC. it's one of the first games to truly scare me; i spent most of my time playing hiding in lockers lol such a good game all the way through. i agree with you about chases too. tension during a chase is my biggest weakness. i really hope you continue to play this!!!
This is the only game I've ever played that literally had me too scared to keep playing it. With headphones on this game is insanely creepy.
Same i just closed the game at one point and played something else
My 2nd, Silent Hill 2 was my first.
Completely understand what you mean 😂 you know that moment where I popped a squat in the elevator? Yea that was me tapping out!
Yes, but it's actually so helpful to hear the sounds of the alien. I trust the sounds more than the motion tracker.
@@gymnodinium9 ye it Is good to hear if it is in the vents or outside
You know, for someone who said they like to look around you missed so much stuff, lockers and cupboards with crafting items, maps etc it really was frustrating
Yes, take in the sights while murderous synthetics and one highly aggressive Xenomorph that will un-alive you on sight is running around.
Its already adapting to your playstyle you know how you hid for so long thats why it immediately went to attack you after you threw the flare.
Ah it's actually because it could easily see him under the gurney! It's got a line of sight after all. By this point it hasn't had time to learn much of anything yet.
I’m pretty sure it just attacked him because it obviously saw him lol
I'm sooooooo happy you're playing this! It is my favorite game to watch others play as I have never been able to make it past the loading screen. I'm even more happy it's you because you are my favorite youtuber to watch.
I was the same way. Gotta get through it though it's worth it
One of my biggest fears is being followed/chased so this game took me FOREVER to finish 😂 it’s definitely become one of my favorites and I’m so happy you’re finally playing it!
I hate that feeling and when it’s combined with losing ground on the thing that is chasing you if you turn around it makes it so much worse for me 😂
@@thefoosterchannel omg especially if the next task makes you backtrack to a previous area. There were times where I had to step away from the game for like 10 minutes because I just couldn’t take it anymore 😂
@@lalechuza120 me2 man
Running makes enough noise to bring the alien out, that’s why you only run when it’s absolutely necessary…make sure to search all the bodies you see, and also red cooler looking boxes have stuff too even though they look small
You have the energy and charm of old gaming youtube. I can tell you grew up watching those things. Please make this a series, I'd love to see more! ^^
THISSSSS SO TRUE
It's probably the voice
Well said
Only found your channel a few days ago and binged your entire back catalogue since.
Made it to this point but I cannot watch the game even though I know your reaction will be priceless.
I traumatised myself with the original Alien when I was 7 on my own in the dark, I watched the entire movie through squinted eyes and my fingers in my ears.
It took me 8 years before I was able to enter a dark room without having to reach around for the light first fully expecting to either have my arm grabbed or see the Xenomorph standing in the doorway 😂
I also had the honour of meeting H. R. Giger who gave me a personal tour of his museum in Austria and an in depth insight into his creations and inspirations for them, this didn't help.
Still to this day THE GREATEST horror creature and story created by man.
Lastly Fooster I'm pleased to say that you have quickly become my favourite UA-camr, the unfiltered terror, the hilarious remarks, reactions, camaraderie with Fisk and sheer minerals to push through when every fiber is screaming no.
A Fooster video has now literally become the highlight of my day to kick back with.
I was actually really hoping you'd play this game mate but with it being out so long I wasn't sure if you would delighted 😊❤
At 1:20:02, I was SO relieved that you hid in that damn locker. I'd have spent the rest of the video in there if it were me, so mad props to you for being brave enough to exit!
And I died laughing every time after this moment when Fooster saw a locker or cabinet to hide in and said he needed to remember it was there in case he needed it, but then the moment the excrement hit the fan, that plan to hide went right out the window into outer space! 😂
One thing I always forget…Ripply records the message after the Nostromo explodes aboard the shuttle. If they “found the black box” it’s the shuttle one meaning the company found her first, pulled the info about the xeno and set her back to drift ofcourse.
Great theory.
The black box is the main ships, not her escape shuttle. Idea of a black box is it logs data and survives a crash/explosion, so you can assertain what caused the crash. So my understanding is it's the main Nostromo's balckbox
@@Signy8you’d have to to watch the first two movies to appreciate this theory.
@@NotLikeUs17 That’s not why I said that lol.
As a deaf person, despite this game heavily relying on sounds, it is my absolute favorite! I use a woojer strap when I play. It vibrates from sounds and changes vibrations accordingly. Nothing is more terrifying than feeling the slow increasing thump thump of the alien's footsteps as it gets closer to you. It is so much fun!
I think this is the first video of yours that I've come across, and I have to say, I'm impressed! Your humor getting through the scary situations is great, and you're an engaging player. I'm excited to make it through this playlist and look at the rest of your catalog:)
So glad to see isolation still getting the love it deserves- if any game is timeless, it’s this one. They really perfected the ai and aesthetic in it in a way that really makes it feel like you’re in danger, even when you rarely arent
I’ve watched this game played by so many different random people a few years back and I’ve enjoyed it every time. But being able to watch you play this, given how you’ve always made even the scarier games enjoyable to watch, I am happy to watch you play this one. Thank you! 😁❤️
this game is so good the atmosphere is perfect. i never progressed much passed the part of the game where the xenomorph starts actively hunting you because i was too scared to move around
0:18 the alien 👾 really said: get your A$$ here we have a party
😅
Its great that you got attacked by the alien when waiting for the first tram! Its pretty rare, enough that its considered an easter egg that most people didn't know was possible. Its also something I really like because it subverts common game design.
In basically every horror game of the last 20ish years, you have a safety period at the beginning of the game, where you are 100% safe no matter what because the game is still tutorializing you and slowly building up the threat, only after all this is done is there a clear "the game starts now" moment where you are finally in threat of the main monster. Its funny because everytime you watch someone play a horror game you always see them getting scared early on because most people haven't realized that the game won't put you into danger without teaching you how to get out of danger first, so they are getting scared for nothing.
However, while this game DOES do this, there is a very clear "the alien is now a real threat" moment (well 2 actually, as the first one is slightly scripted, though still dangerous). But this one moment after the crazy guy dies and you have to wait for the tram is designed just like any other game, where its meant to put you on edge but is actually totally safe. But it subverts this by having a secret timer where if you take too long to get into the tram, the alien will be unleashed. Most people will get into the tram without noticing the alien, or hear the alien drop down right as they hit the button to close the tram door if they were slow, just barely missing the alien. While there is an invisible timer keeping the alien from attacking you, the timer can be bipassed if you make enough noise to call the alien early (which is what you did by running). This usually doesn't happen as first time players usually just stand around waiting.
So basically, its awesome that this game is just willing to put you in a position of getting attacked by the alien way earlier than the tutorial for dealing with the alien! Its meant to be a moment that you never get attacked your first time and then feel safe there in future playthroughs, letting down your guard until you inevitably make too much noise and discover you were never really safe there all along. Its a very aggressive game that doesn't hold back, and that's why its one of the best!
I hope I explained that well, I feel like the point of the subversion wasn't explained properly, but I'm bad at explaining things without using visuals.
Lots of words
"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure."
I wouldn't play this one, watching is enough for me
They cut the power. What do you mean they cut the power, their animals man.
@@stellarproductions8888 "This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training... right?"
" Why don't you put her in charge?!"
Hudson was the one liner king in that movie! lol
@@mikestash9362 Your totally right about that, king of the one liners says, game over man, game over, drops mic. LOL
Send the whole Sevastopol Station into the nearest *_NEUTRON STAR._*
Hudson was my favourite. Love that film❤
If you continue this series I highly recommended reading all the terminals when possible there are so many layers to the story you can uncover in them
Thank you for the upload Fooster
remember kids, its all up to rng if the alien always following you ontop of the map decides to phase into existence through any given vent in a room when you enter it
This was such a great video! I've seen a few other play-throughs, but I love the way you narrate your videos. I was introduced to the Alien film series by my father, and I still consider the original Alien to be one of the greatest films ever made. I LOVE how this game perfectly recreated the aesthetic of the first film, as well as that feeling of barely-contained panic. Even the little Easter eggs - the little dippy bird thing from the Nostromo appearing multiple times, but also nods to Ridley Scott's other great films - like in your second video, when you have to get the key card from the locked unit in Medical and one of the other things in the cabinet is a little origami unicorn, from Blade Runner - another truly phenomenal film.
FOOSTER You are not going to believe this BUT, i searched on youtube today, in the afternoon, for Fooster, Alien isolation, and i saw that you didn't play or made any videos for this game, and what happened some minutes ago......, YOU post this!!!! Come ON! This is awesome mate
Incredible synchronicty I would say! You should use this consciousness on other matters ;)
Sure
OMG Alien is one of my favorites franchises. I'm so glad you're playing this. I can hear the terror in your voice! Please make this a series!
You finally playing this game. This was one we all have been waiting for you start playing as it was match made in hell of your worst nightmares. We gonna enjoy the fear and excitement over this tonight.
Running is a natural instinct when we are in danger, but it's the absolute worst thing to do in this masterpiece lol
Omg I love when you talk in conversation with the characters. And I love when you change your voice style to match being in a cave or places with echo.
This game was revolutionary at the time for its AI design. The creature is actually governed by two different systems, the creature itself and a kind of overwatch AI that tells the alien where to hunt, occasionally giving away the players general vicinity. So the alien might not know exactly where you're hiding but it's never too far away.
This game is amazing. Creative Assembly's work on this game shows how much they love and respect the Alien franchise.
I really loved this one.
I can't wait to see the full gameplay!
Thanks Fooster!!!
Thank you Fooster! Been watching you close to two years now and been wanting you to do an Alien game. Please continue? This is gold!
Alien Isolation is an underrated gem, the atmosphere is absolutely top notch, Sevastopol Station has such a sense of place, feels like a real lived in location, so much history, lore and environmental storytelling, the graphics are stunning, the Alien with its adaptable AI, learning and changing its behavior from your encounters, the entire game captures the vibe of the first Alien movie perfectly. One of my all time favorite games. 👏👏👏👏👏
Please keep playing this!! I would love to see this as a series!!! Super fun to watch!!
I love that we share this love for this film franchise. I remember watching Aliens with my dad when I was a kid, and I was FASCINATED. Alien is genuinely one of my favorite movies. I was SWEATING the first time I played this, and I just could not get myself through it it scared me so much! 😂
YESSSSS!!!! I've already watched some other people play this, but you can bet I'll watch it again if Fooster's playing it.
I went "OH SHIT" aloud when I saw that you posted this game lol. The fact that the alien learns and you can't rely on the same tactics to stay safe for too long...💀💀💀 I'm cheering for you(r heart), Fooster!!!
So fun fact, I just got the game and booted it up. I got to the part after Axel dies and we have to call the transit. I made a joke to my nana who was watching me play that "Wouldn't it be funny if the Alien was hunting me right now?". I heard loud boss music and it screeching but just thought it was ambience. I got to the nearest save and then got off for the night. Only to watch this video for the first time and realize it was hunting us that entire time. Meaning I somehow didn't get attacked and made a joke that was actually true.
I would be saving every chance I get, but you've walked past save points a few times that you knew were there, but I guess it makes things more tense!
Love the content. I've noticed that you're experiencing an audio bug with the alien. If you cap your FPS to 90 or less, then this bug goes away and it will be 10x more immersive!
OMG! FINALLY Fooster is playing this. I've been waiting forever for you to play this. Best Movie franchise with scared Fooster is the Best Match!. PLEASEEE make a series out of this!! It will be a dream come true!!
Holy moly, what in the fresh hell did I put myself through watching this? The anxiety. I can't imagine what you felt Fooster, haha. Well done.
I've only recently stumbled upon your channel but I'm so glad I did. As fun as your gameplays and commentary are to watch, I love how you take the game seriously. So many game creators just joke around too much sometimes and for me, I find it hard to immerse myself in the game because of that. Great job in playing this game btw. I absolutely never could 😂
Just found your channel and watched your Days Gone series. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite streamers to watch. You rank right up there with theRadBrad! Keep it coming and love the content.
"Is this gonna be a stand up fight, sir, or another bug hunt?"
Fooster and Alien Isolation? You just made these long days of summer more bearable 😎
Soon as I saw the thumbnail (specifically the scanner in the thumbnail), I knew what was going on my second monitor for the next 2.5 hours. Glad to see you enter the nightmare, Fooster! Best of luck to you.
That’s very kind of you thank you
Ohhhhh maaaaannnnn!!! This horror game is definitely one of the ones that just keeps you on the verge of panic with fear….and watching Fooster get scared but also fascinated by the story and gameplay is something I could watch all day every day! With that being said I’d like to put in my vote for more Alien Isolation!
Soooooo gooood!
I’ve re watched this entire series 3 times now, by far my favourite collab between my current favourite UA-camr fooster and one of my fav thrillers alien 😂😂
Your stress relieves my stress I won’t lie 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've been waiting for years for you to play this!!!! So exciting! ♡
Love your stuff man. Could you maybe do a Fears to Fathom long play? Would love to see you do all 4 chapters!
Needs to be a series. I've watched many playthroughs of this game but I would love to watch you go through it lol.
I love how you take your time and really get into this. Well done sir.
PLEASEEEEE Fooster make this a series! You’ll love it it’s incredible! You have to 😭
Great video fooster as always keep going with the great videos man
Fun fact btw fooster, idk if you know this, but the ai actually has 2 brains. One that knows where you are at all times, and one that doesn’t. The one that knows where you are slowly feeds info to the one that doesn’t. If you stay in place for too long, it will ALWAYS find you
Also, if you get though too much of the game without being seen, it will spawn a second xeno.
+ it has machine learning. the more "close encounters" you have the more it will start look in lockers/hidng places.
Also the alien has 3 vision cones + blindspots.
So depending on which vision cone detects you have less time to get out and break line of sight. If you're skilled enough and somewhat lucky you can move in it's blindspot.
@@Haelda Doesn't the difficulty settings also affect how it works?
@@minicle426 yes, it changes how often the mother brains drip feeds into to the other brain, changes how often the Alien will be on patrol. It also has a better sense of the player' objective. Even learns how to handle the user having flamethrower, instead of running away they will eventually hover just outside attack range
Am i really about to watch another playthrough of alien isolation? Well yes but i thought they'd make a second one by now
Someone needs to remaster this with UE5 graphics.
Fooster, I have played the hell out of this game. My favorite game of all time. NEVER RUN UNLESS YOU WANT THE ALIEN TO HEAR YOU.
Good luck
You can run if on your tracker the alien is further than .96 removed. The tracker will give you a warning bleep when the alien is entering into your orbit again.
I loved playing this game as well. It was so scary, and the design of the game psychologically impacts you to slow down.
There was one point in the game where I dropped a soundmaker inside of a floor panel, making the alien crawl into the vent. And then I'd stand on top of the alien after reopening the panel. He'd scream and hiss, but his animation gets stuck if you do this, so you can just stand on his head without him attacking you. Hilarious! That cut the terror.
I love your commentary! Never seen this channel before but you perfectly captured why I’m so chicken about playing this myself! Better you than me
I LOVED the Aliens series! I literally fall asleep to them🤣I couldn't get into anyone else playing this tho and i didn't want to play for myself cuz it looked heavily stealth based and i would've fallen asleep 😅 PLEEAAASEE make this a series! Hearing Sigourneys voice was sublime...
We need another iteration of this franchise. Set the benchmark for atmosphere and AI.
The peacefull music in this game always collied with the horror
Just discovered this channel and I already subscribed feeling like this is heat I would watch if I’m bored
Great video. The whole medical area and getting the trauma kit was one of my fave bits when I played it. It's tension on a stick and gave me stomach ache.
