From Strategyinformer.com: "In space, so goes the saying, no one can hear you scream. What that saying doesn't tell you is if you do scream you'll attract the attention of an eight-foot-tall slobbering penis-shaped extraterrestrial and be hideously killed (or are in the process of being hideously killed by said extraterrestrial). Unless you're in an Aliens game of course, where you're stocked up with all manner of xenomorph-murdering tools from the humble Pulse Rifle to an armoured Power Loader. In recent years HR Giger's brilliant Alien has kind of lost its sting, without a good game to the franchise's name for 13 years and arguably no good movie for 22 years. Furthermore after mowing down millions of buggy badly animated creatures in Aliens: Colonial Marines any impact they once had is nearly gone. What's the solution? According to SEGA and the Creative Assembly, get back to basics and drop the 's'. ".
An opinion piece on the best Alien games. From arcade Alien vs Predator action to a terrifying Xenomorph stalker, these are the best Alien video games starring Ridley Scott’s chestbursting, acid-blooded nightmare.
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.
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
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror game.
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.
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.
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!
The Alien franchise has had a long history in video games, but few games have come quite as close to being perfect as Alien: Isolation.
October 7th right? I can't wait for this one.
I'm really looking forward to this game. The only other Alien game that had that tight, claustrophobic experience of the movie was the 3DO game (Alien Trilogy). It probably wasn't that great a game but at the time it was the first and only FPS Alien title and was scary as hell to play.
I was hoping that future games would concentrate even more on the atmosphere and sense of foreboding but unfortunately all the others have been generic twitch shooters where the Alien could easily be replaced by virtually any other adversary without affecting the tone of the game.
This is looking like the Alien game I've been waiting for 2 decades to play (since having to give back my friends 3DO).
On a side note, the first Alien game I ever played was the text adventure game on the Vic20 (the predecessor to the Commodore 64 with a massive 5kb of memory IIRC). Anybody else here remember this game?
There was an Alien game on 3D0 ? I remember AvP on the Jaguar and Alien Trilogy on PS1....
