Gamereactor caught up with Creative Assembly's Al Hope and found out more about Alien: Isolation, and what the studio is hoping to achieve by venturing into the depths of the survival horror genre.
"From the outset, the reason we made the game was it felt like no-one had taken advantage of Alien," Hope told us when we mentioned the renaissance currently underway in the survival horror genre. "No-one had made the game we wanted to play... I think that first film, there's a natural overlap into survival horror, so it's kind of like the original survival horror. It just felt very natural for us to be recreating that experience and putting you in that space where just one alien could be a really meaningful and exciting and scary experience."
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.
Sounds good to me. Surprised people are not hyped for this. I guess because the haven't mentioned resolution or frame rate lol. Well I can't wait day one buy. The truly captured the feel of the alien movies
Why did aliens colonial marines come out before this.
