Saves the ALIEN franchise!

>sequel announced
pls be decent pls be decent

>>213774353 (OP)
I still can't believe they didn't use the Working Joes in any of the new movies yet. Or even Samuels would have been perfect for a companion android in one of them

>>213775475
tbf the company that made them basically was dead by the time Isolation happened...i think it was a plot point that the station was getting abandoned.
I do think they appear in Aliens Dark Descend...you can fix them and use them as engineers.

>>213775556
There in the Aliens Fireteam Elite game too

Will my robowaifu save the AlienVPredator universe?

>>213775556
>by the time Isolation happened
yeah, and every movie needs to be a prequel for some stupid reason. Happening before Isolation and Aliens. The Joes would have fit into Romulus just fine

>>213774353 (OP)
I swear, there are a times in this game where you are running and hiding literally for your life - its that scary. Maybe it was the sound design.

>>213774353 (OP)
Tried playing it but thought the stealth was garbage and kept dying to it so I uninstalled it and never played it again

>>213776267
definitely scarier than all the movies. I don't blame most of the players for not getting past the first level where you meet the xenomorph kek

I don't like that you play as Amanda Ripley. In the Director's Cut of Aliens -- which is pretty much the standard version these days, the one that most newcomers will watch -- there is a scene where Ripley is shown a photo of her daughter and told that she lived to be a ripe old age and died of natural causes a while ago. If that's true, it means Amanda made it back home from the events of Sevastapol and didn't say a word to the company about the shocking events that transpired there; she must not have, because when Ellen tells them a similar story about the alien on the Nostromo, almost everyone on the W-Y board is ignorant of the subject and disbelieving of her claims. I suppose the Isolation sequel, if it ever happens, will contrive some far-fetched reason for Amanda keeping the secret. They can't kill her off because Aliens gave her a full life.

And isn't it odd that the company don't mention to Ellen, "Your daughter worked for the company like you, following in her mother's footsteps."

>>213776538
Dude come on...the company could 100% be lying to her, it fits on the general style of the AYYYLMAO world.

>>213776538
I could believe the idea at first. She would want to follow her mom's footsteps. They knew she would be interested in any word on the lost ship, so they included her in the mission. She is the lone survivor again and has no love for the company, which again didn't care if she died, so I can see her not telling them shit. As well as retiring and being paid to keep quiet about a botched mission that got people killed. And just like the Nostromo's incident, I can believe things are compartmentalized so only a few know about it and they either die, move on, or its covered up deeply. It's so much better to think:
>Amanda only saw the creatures one time, then stayed back on Earth
>The company lost all knowledge of them until Ellen Ripley turns back up
>the derelict beacon on LV-426 was turned off by Marlow, and the colony set up there was an innocent mission to terraform a new world just like all the others
I hate the bullshit "it was all connected and a secret conspiracy over centuries!" nonsense. And although I'd like to play another Alien Isolation game, I really don't like that they'll probably use Amanda as the protagonist again. Since then you certainly can't take it seriously that no one would know. Then she'll be a super-alien fighter that's fought them all over the galaxy. And it'll be silly trivial stupidity when he mother finally wakes up and fights them again since her daughter has defeated them dozens of times!

>>213775475
to be fair, they don't seem to do their job too well lol

>>213774353 (OP)
Absolutely stellar sound design and everything else, basically.
One of the best horror games ever made

>>213776915
Their actual jobs they do quite well. Managing warehouses, guiding people, answering questions, running machinery, etc. All done without a problem. Even protecting people isn't an issue. They were ordered to protect the xenomorph specimen when it appeared though even if it meant killing Humans who put it in danger by Weyland Yutani

>>213774353 (OP)
Too many dorky looking zoomer characters. Apparently they're human android hybrids? What is that about? Sounds lame as he'll.

>>213775704
Spitting image of a gal i met on tinder.

space stations orbiting gas giants are the most kino locations

Alien is my favorite movie and this game was a dream come true. Shame about the last 10 years of Alien content

>>213777643
Indeed

>>213777679
I preferred Dark Descent, but that's derived from the second film. It does a have one level with the late-70s designs of the first film, though.

>ruins alien franchise.

>>213777679
>Alien is my favorite movie and this game was a dream come true. Shame about the last 10 years of Alien content
Crazy that Isolation underperformed Sega's expectations. It's proof that quality stuff doesn't sell well, and that's why Alien in the past 10 years has been absolute dogshit.

>>213774377
It will be an always online live service asymmetric arena shooter with mtx and battle passes exclusively for skins. There will be a Cleveland show crossover event. It will stop being updated and maintained after 6 months

>>213778042
>one of the best action AND sci-fi movies of the 80s ruined the franchise instead of turds like 3 and completely unrelated boring written by commitee shit under the franchise name like the last two Ridley movies
KWAJ (kek what a Jeet)

>>213778127
Isolation came out a year and a half after Colonial Marines, which is why I skipped it initially.

Absolute Kinemascopics

>>213778127
Thank Romulus for giving us an Isolation sequel

>>213778303
Isnt Romulus trash?

>>213776538
You really should have gotten used to Alien not having a logical timeline or lore consistencies years ago man

>>213778340
yes. member-berries the movie which supports black goo trash from prometheus

>>213778374
>supports black goo trash from prometheus
Yup, into the trash it goes.

>>213778217
Alien 3 is the 2nd best alien movie.
You just can't handle the truth.

>>213778374
The Alien/Predator movies always did dialog callbacks since forever, but they way Romulus handled it was less subtle in-joking and more "DAE REMEMBER 'GET AWAY FRUM HER U BITCH!!' XDDDD" There are ways to do it where it isn't so fucking forced and of course every other fucking line.

>>213778418
They just brought that black goo back to earth or wherever their home was and that's all we know right? Literally just a call back to a much better movie for the sake of reminding you that it's the same franchise and that NO you're not wasting your time by watching this trash

>>213778340
It's good-looking trash, but trash nonetheless. The quotes and callbacks to the earlier films are mindlessly thrown in without sense or justification. A sort of Frankenstein's monster assembled from what pieces of the dead franchise the local graverobber's could retrieve for Disney; just sew it all together, it doesn't matter if it's monstrous.

More bush and undersized panties, less racebaiting antagonism.

>>213774353 (OP)
I just want avp extinction remaster pls

>>213778340
Its actually a great movie, the 2001: Space Odyssey homage was great, loved the hyper capitalist mining planet setting in conjuction with the zoomer cast which felt believable and relevant considering how pretty much every young person now is dejected and disillusioned with the current, endlessly rewardless system and wants to escape....until they introduce Ian Holmes robot clone and then the movie turns into a nostalgia addled, coporate necromancy theme park ride

>>213778777
It’s actually remarkable how quickly the movie turned to shit.

it nailed the look and sound of the movie but the gameplay was ass, everything you interact with has some kind of slow baked animation

>>213778806
Pretty much as soon as they left their homeworld and got on the ship lol

>>213774353 (OP)
Buy an ad or better yet spend the money to hire another artist of vision, like H.R. Giger.

>>213778806
It's sad because you can see there is a decent film in there, buried beneath six feet of Disney-mandated dirt. If you took out Not-Ash and all the shitty quotes ("Get away from her, you... bitch.") then it would be at least 30% better.

Everything involving Not-Ash was awful, including the special effects.

>>213774353 (OP)
>tfw colonial marines could've been good, but greasy randy kept funneling dev money into borderlands instead

Also CM actually turns out OK with a few workshop mods.

>>213777643
prey?

>>213778866
>slow baked animation
I fucking hated the "door tool". You click, the action happens... and THEN the animation of her moving her thumb to press the buttons happens.
If they weren't retarded, they would've just had her keep her thumb on the button so the "click" was instantaneous and didn't need a second long animation of her moving her hand around to finally press it.

>>213779167
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ivt2_BzvMA for reference.

I guess it's her index finger, not her thumb. Still, my point stands.

>>213778866
The canned door/level/button/cutting animations are to stress you out when the Alien is present.

>>213779167
The animations are there to increase tension and make you sweat when the alien is creeping nearby and you want a door open ASAP. It's part of the survival horror setup.

Compared to certain other games, the forced animations are not overly slow or intrusive. After slogging through Red Dead 2, Alien Isolation feels like I'm playing a Sonic.

>>213779299
Yep, the complainers are always morons who don't understand how horror games work. They just want to passively watch someone else try to escape the monster and yell how stupid they are, and how they'd do so much better, of course. Always something to whine about

>>213779299
>and you want a door open ASAP.
The door opens ASAP. The action happens instantanously. (you can see it in the video) It's the button pressing animation that lags behind. They could've easily given a delay to the action to make it line up with the animation... or had a faster animation and added a "loading screen" to the tool if they really wanted to add delay for tension.

It's just a nitpick honestly... but with how often you had to use that tool, it got on my nerves.

>>213779194
yeah and it doesn't work it's more of an annoyance and when the alien does turn up you are stuck in an animation so getting killed feels cheap
other things that are ass is the crafting/inventory, there is literally no point to it, you can make several different things but you only ever use them as thrown distraction and the health system is redundant too
It was obviously going to have some metroidvania aspects with different tools to open different doors etc and being able to return to previous areas but there really is no reason to aside from advancing the plot.
IGN was right
rich and aidsmoby were right

>I got all my criticisms and negative opinions from these people since I desperately need things to complain about

Anyone read the Covenant prequel book? I am curious because it logically shouldn't have any Xenos any it. Is an Alien book able to hold up with no xenos?

>>213779119
that's alien isolation dude
the station in prey is orbiting the earth

>>213779935
Why did they feel the need to make Daniels look so mannish? And give them modern guns without even trying to dress them up for scifi?

It's more accurate to say it saved itself from being dragged down with the franchise.

>>213774377
Pretty much all the people who worked on the original game left the studio a decade ago already. It'll be like an entirely new studio working on the sequel.

>>213780238
so basically like every other cash grab game capitalizing off of an IP
(WoW immediately comes to mind)

>>213775556
>it was a plot point that the station was getting abandoned.
wasn't it being secretly sold to WY?

>>213776538
>she lived to be a ripe old age
she dies at 60 or something. You'd think people lived longer lives in the future.

>>213778777
>Its actually a great movie
dogshit opinion. waste of digits

>>213779935
>it logically shouldn't have any Xenos any it.
It doesn't. It's set almost entirely on earth, and not an Alien book. It's very cyberpunk, imo. It's not bad. Worth a read, I would say. OTBD

Alien > Alien: Isolation > Prometheus = Covenant > Alien 3 > powergap > Aliens > AvP > Resurrection > Romulus

>>213782212
holy based

>>213782212
AvP and its sequel are the dullest films in which the xeno appears. They manage to be more boring than the chase sequences in Alien 3. Resurrection might be objectionable in many ways, but at least it doesn't act as a sedative on the viewer.
