Alien Isolation sequel 'a daily topic' at Creative Assembly

Creative Assembly discusses the idea for a sequel to Alien Isolation on a daily basis, lead game designer Gary Napper has revealed, stating that if a sequel does get greenlit, he would like it to place a greater emphasis on the player's interaction with the environment while sticking "to the same terrifying single Alien approach".

I second this!

ATM I'm preparing myself mentally for my Nightmare run. I'm so so happy they released this patch along with the patch that solves the framerate stutter during cutscenes. My first playthrough on Hard lasted me 25 hours spread over 2 months because it was so freaking intense. These Christmas holidays are going to be epic.

I third this!!! Its my GOTY

bumnut4190d ago

100% yes, but not too soon. I would hate it if they rushed it for cash in.

crashbash4190d ago

I'm very much up for a sequel, one of my favourite games this year.

I did love the minimalist stealth horror of this one but it would be cool to see them progress from emulating the feel of the first movie to emulating its sequel. They're the only team I'd trust to nail the feel of Aliens, upping the scope and pace of the first one without just turning it into another dumb brotastic shooter.

Haha, we pretty much posted the same thing. :)

Sketchy_Galore4190d ago

and to think people say it's only great minds that think alike.

I wonder if they'll up the ante and make it a bit more military/well armed.. Still keeping similar gameplay though. It'd be interesting to see Amanda's story mirror Ellen's, and it would be nice to get an "Aliens"-ish game that doesn't completely miss the point like they usually do.

Hell, if it was a bit more aliens but still maintained the Alien aesthetic and didn't go OTT by making you too powerful it could be amazing.

Making it too similar to A:I doesn't seem sensible given it already had a really long campaign that already covered all of the bases. Let's see them try some new stuff!

BABY-JEDI4190d ago

I really enjoyed Alien Isolation. Hopefully in the sequel they will develop the gameplay but also mix it up with full-on (but not over powered) gunplay. Rescue missions? Tactical retreat/defence?

The Best Alien Games (To Play After Watching Alien: Earth)

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.

FTLmaster291d ago

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

Abnor_Mal291d 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.

Nittdarko290d 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.

Neonridr368d 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.

OtterX368d ago (Edited 368d 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!
