How Alien: Isolation Can Be Successful

Chris West of SpawnFirst writes: "I believe it might be very safe to say that the expectations for Alien: Isolation aren't very high thanks to the disaster that was Aliens: Colonial Marines. With consistently low scores and multiple "Worst Of 2013" nominations, including #3 worst game of 2013 on SpawnFirst, Colonial Marines remains as the poster child for terrible movie tie-in games and possibly the worst game the franchise. So Aliens: Isolation doesn't have to do too much to be better than Colonial Marines, but there are many things it must do right to be both good, and win back any betrayed fans and gamers."

NO GUNPLAY AT ALL? Sneaking around and hiding for 5-6-7-8 hours makes for some pretty damn stale rinse and repeat gameplay.

Mr Tretton4529d ago

Would be a really new gaming approach. Some genres and IPs need some freshness. When all else fails, do something really different.

Bonerboy4529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

Have you played a game of this genre before? Amnesia? Outlast? >>> It's not a new gaming approach. Fun for a while...a Short while.
Sneak, run, hide, find key, sneak, run, hide, flip switch, sneak, run, hide, etc and that's it for hours on end? To each their own, but I find it gets damn old real fast. I hope I am wrong but I doubt I will be given the utter lack of unique ideas and actual innovation these days.

Mr Tretton4529d ago

Well, maybe shooting everything gets old real fast. Brother I'm 32 I've played all games.

A better question is do you know how a xenomorph hunts it's prey? Pheromones. They have no eyes. They communicate with pheromones from the queen and other xenomorphs. There is no way a human is hiding under a table from a xenomorph as alleged during one of the previews of the game. If they are remotely sticking to the biological cannon of a xenomorph then they are going to have to explain in detail how a human can evade a xenomorph by simply hiding from it around corners. I am not impressed with what this game details as it's method of play. To me... it is stupid.

It sells a lot of copies. Duh

but for real, there is gonna have to be some seriously good writing to keep someone entertained for a full length game that features one alien.

I hope they pull it off.

Thepharaoh4529d ago

By not sucking. Like the rest of the games in it;s franchise

Got a soft spot for AvP (2010) but solid list nonetheless.

Abnor_Mal296d ago

My favorite Aliens game also, having the three campaigns to play was great. Scaling walls as an alien waiting to ambush anyone that came too close.

Only played a little of the horde mode but was still fun.

Nittdarko296d ago

Aliens Fireteam Elite was my GotY in 2021, single player was kinda bad but playing that game 3 player with friends was so good and really challenging on higher difficulties

Massive shout out to Aliens Vs predator 2 (2001), a dialup lag filled fun mess in multiplayer and 3 great campaigns

I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.

Neonridr373d ago

Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.

OtterX373d ago (Edited 373d ago )

Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.

It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
