Alien: Isolation scares me for the wrong reasons | Rely on Horror

Rely on Horror: Flight is given priority over fight in Isolation, and now that I've had some hands-on time with the game, I can say that it is far superior to its Gearbox developed predecessor in every way, but I still have some reservations on whether or not its gameplay will be as functional and terrifying as it sounds like it should be on paper.

I've seen the video and I liked, I don't understand the reason behind this.

First off, the demo was a challenge mode not the story. So, it kinda begs to be, well, challenging. This means dying alot. And this isnt what u would tackle first anyway. U would try ur hand at it after learning the mechanics of the game. Maybe they shouldn't hav used this as a demo but thats another issue.

Video games hav always struggled with difficulty b/c many gamers want to be challenged and many just want to enjoy the ride. Maybe they should institute a very easy story mode for those gamers.

Concerning deaths, they need to implement many death animations to deal with the tedium that comes from dying alot. DO NOT make it easier!!! Also, and this could be a great idea. Created some mechanic in which if u do everything correctly up to a certain point u earn an escape ability. They r very rare and maybe even work 25% of the time but it would add tension and hope when we make a mistake. Imagine the stories that come from making through a difficult part, finally getting to the end after trying for hours...and u r caught!! Wtf!! But...u hav saved ur escape chance for this moment and u trigger it. U wait and YES!!!...at that last moment when the alien would usually rip ur throat apart, u were able to get the flare off and blind it, allowing u to escape and hide. What u do from there is up to u.

It could work.

"Concerning deaths, they need to implement many death animations to deal with the tedium that comes from dying alot."

Agreed, I died on purpose a number of times during the dead space games just for the different death animations. Little things like that from devs can go a long ways.

Instead of making it easier or difficult why not bring back Jack and Daxter difficulty mechanics which was based on the skill of the player.

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

Abnor_Mal297d 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.

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.

Neonridr374d 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.

OtterX374d ago (Edited 374d 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!
