Hopefully there will be a awesome CE edition. I was bummed I didn't get the last games, since I canceled my order since the game was shit.
I cancelled my pre-order the day it was supposed to arrive - because the embargo was in effect and no one couldn't read any reviews before the premiere - but the courier had already been dispatched so I had to refuse to accept the shipment, LOL. First time in my life. $60 well saved.
It has been said before, but I really hope they know how to keep this idea of one alien fresh throughout the whole game. I'm not feeling too confident tbh...
On topic, I have a hard time imagining a full game like this being pulled off well. I fear that the criticisms from Amnesia's creator are rather correct, even if the game looks "promising" right now.
The game looks beyond amazing. I think it is the new fire king. I've revamped the OP MASSIVELY, I've put a tremendous amount of work.
Here are most key things I've learned from the videos:
The game's AI and Alien encounters (apart from key setpieces) are all non-scripted and a result of an emergent gameplay
The game, apart from the campaign, will also feature a separate time-based challenge mode, which also has a set of bonus requirements, such as not using the motion tracker, or collecting certain amount of objects of a given type or simply completing some sort of a secondary objective.
The game will feature encounters with androids, who, like Ash in the first movie, are extremely sturdy and will require several different tactics that could be improvised on the fly in order to get rid of them.
Not all androids will be hostile, some of them will be helpful, some of them neutral, but some of them will be aggressive towards the player as well
The game will support Occulus Rift and this version has already been demo'd at E3
The game puts a heavy emphasis on gathering and utilizing various types of resources for crafting as well as puzzle solving and adventure-centric exploration.
Feel free to explore DOZENS OF VIDEOS AND TEXT PREVIEWS!
Only thing i don´t like is that when you die, then you respawn near that location which takes all the fun away. Yeah, you can put hardest setting but still... i don´t like that game is made easy. I want all players must play on hardest settings and there is no such thing like easy setting
So glad they included Rift support. The game seemed perfect for it when I played it at EGX earlier this year. Ill probably hold off playing this till I get a retail Rift. ...If I can wait that long.
I don't believe a word of what CA says after the mess Rome II was, much less the fact that this is their first foray into the FPS genre. I'll believe it when I see it. That said, if they are able to nail this it has the potential to be something special. They just had better deliver on the AI, as that's the one element that will make or break such a game.
I hope Sony realizes the opportunity Isolation presents for their Morpheus headset. Such an experience done right in VR would sell systems like crazy.
Pretty much this.... People need to stop buying into the bullsh!t hype or devs and publishers are going to pull the same sh!t they did with Watch Dog's, Colonial Marines, Rome 2 etc etc until you idiots out there stop preordering...

No, these guys are genuine and Angry Joe played the demo himself and was massively impressed, and you should remember his violently angry review of Colonial Marines where he tore it to shreds, so if anything, there's hardly a person in the world who hates Colonial Marines more than he does.
You're full of shit. There's a briefing with Weyland-Yutani executives in ALIENS and they explicitly refer to a flight recorder, although it's most likely it's the one from Narcissus, its emergency shuttle and the people writing articles about this game didn't bother to make the distinction, coz they're casuals in Alien lore, unlike me, a maniac since 1993.
Good call. I'm a big sci fi buff myself. Love the quadrilogy of directors cuts. Logically the flight recorder on todays airplanes can survive major crashes. Why wouldn't the the tech of the black box strengthen along with travel tech? Maybe it is the flight recorder from the destroyed ship.

... Angry Joe hyped the sh!t out of Alien Colonial Marines and loved the E3 demo.. In fact after the E3 demo of Alien Colonial Marines, every one was psyched for the game.. I seriously wish people could stop fvcking buying into this dumbass PR campaigns and actually act intelligently and not pre order the games any more.. There is little to gain from it and your basically telling the companies that they don't need to make quality products but push this huge PR campaign to get you suckers to buy their game before word gets out that it's a PoS. You people are the ones that are basically telling companies like Ubisoft, Sega, etc etc to grossly lie about their products to build hype for you suckers to buy in to it.. And what happens if it turns out to be a great game? Well guess what, you can go out and get it.. You literally lose NOTHING from avoiding to preorder it.. While at the same time avoiding the possibility that it turns out to be a poor game! It's a win win situation..

You do realize that Colonial Marines demo was all stage and came almost whole 2 years before the game itself? And in this case, this is mere 4 months before the release? This is the real game, not a fugazi. There won't be any drastic changes. Do you also realize they showed both the campaign mode and separate challenge mode already?

...and here i thought this game was all about stealth and not guns:/
Your guns won't do shit to Alien. You will have 2 blasts of flamethrower at most and all pistols you find have like 2-3 rounds of ammo. You won't kill a droid with it either. You will only be able to kill some humans if they will turn hostile on you.
I like this more now that The Alien won't be the only enemy to interact with. The metroidvania angle sounds cool as well.
Aliens is my favorite Cameron movie, I hope we get a proper game version of that someday, largescale alien attacks on colony's manned by only a handful of marines and security drones.
Reinforcements unable to land due to intense and dangerous weather, open world. Omg that would be fucking awesome.

Don't forget the fact Gearbox never made a playable demo for gamers or journalists; the only demos they had were either staged or scripted for the developers to play through and make it look like a good game. This is not the case for Isolation. Gamers, fans, and journalists have all gotten to play campaign and challenge mode demos have responded with overwhelming positive feedback. Everything CA stated about what they're trying to do with the game has been echoed by all who have played the demos. This is not the same case as Colonial Marines at all.
