I fed this interview Alien: Isolation 2 Interview to AI, here's a sum up.

📖 Story & Setting

• Standalone Experience: No need to play the first Alien: Isolation—new world, new protagonist (Blake, a Wutani employee), and a fresh narrative.
• Timeline: Set months after the first game, continuing the story thread from Alien (1979).
• Location: Kasaki Station, a Wutani mining colony, blending claustrophobic interiors with open outdoor environments (a first for the series).
• Perspective: Blake has never encountered the Xenomorph before, adding tension and discovery.

🎯 Core Gameplay

• "Information War": The game revolves around what you know vs. what the creature knows, influenced by lighting, sound, line of sight, and now weather (affects visibility and audio cues).
• Tools & Agency: Players get gadgets, weapons, and environmental interactions to shift the odds. More choices and solutions for encounters (e.g., distractions like flares, water, or sound).

✨ New Features

• Outdoor Environments: The Xenomorph hunts in organic, open spaces for the first time, adapting its behavior to exteriors.
• Dynamic Weather: Rain, wind, and other conditions alter gameplay by obscuring vision or masking sounds.
• Player Freedom: Multiple ways to tackle encounters (e.g., the prologue has 3-4 distinct escape paths).
• Interactive World: The environment is highly interactive—players must observe, adapt, and use surroundings to survive.
• Stay Observant: The environment is packed with interactive elements—use them.
• Realism: The team asks, "What if this place were real?" to design believable systems and mechanics.

🤖 Xenomorph AI

• Smarter & More Unpredictable: New behaviors (some unrevealed) and adapted hunting tactics for outdoor areas.
• Fair but Challenging: Difficulty modes available to suit different players.

⏳ Why Now?

• Technology: Advances since the first game enable new mechanics (e.g., weather, outdoor AI).
• Cultural Moment: The Alien franchise has seen renewed interest (movies, series), making it the right time to revisit Isolation.

🎉 Reception & Development

• Fan Reaction: Overwhelmingly positive at Summer Game Fest—trailer and demo sparked excitement.
• Team Energy: The response motivated the team to double down on quality and deliver the "best possible Alien experience."
• Status: Still in development ("a lot of game to make"), but the demo felt polished. The team focuses on perfection.

Couldn't even get a basic Archive Cleanup tool in place, because OBVIOUSLY the only thing they want is for you to BUY BUY BUY more storage.

Not only that, but you can't even SEE how big a folder is.

FUCK THIS SHIT

edit : i know it's a universal convention FOR PCS. This isn't my PC calucating how big they are, it's Onedrive's servers.

Onedrive is a file management app people PAY FOR , there is 0 excuses for it not to tell you. There is literally no option.

I’ve been prototyping a system where your phone acts as a 6DOF motion controller (kind of like VR, but without the headset or equipment).

The game includes mini-games built around that motion input, designed for couch co-op with multiple phone controllers (similar to Wii Sports):

• saber-style combat  
• light-gun style shooting  
• Wii Sports Resort–style flying

  

Looking for a sanity check from my peers before I sink more time into this:

• Does the phone-as-controller idea seem fun and understandable, or does it look gimmicky?
• Do you think there’s an audience for this type of gameplay experience, or does it feel more like a tech demo?
• What would make or break this idea for you?

I know that this subreddit is full of devs, and not necessarily this game’s audience, but I’m mainly just looking for a gut-check. I’ve put a lot of time into building out the 6DOF motion tracking system on the side of my full-time job, and I’m trying to decide whether this is worth pushing further or not.

If anyone’s curious, I have a Steam page here with more info (Motioncade)

The new Xbox Feedback hub gave me the idea.

In a perfect world, on where their new GameInput API is perfectly implemented and all inputs from every controller are universally read:

• Gyro
• Back paddles
• Additional buttons
• HD Rumble

We could potentially see a simplified, controller-friendly interface that allows us to simply configure our controller on a game-by-game basis, kinda like Steam Input does.

What do you think?

What would you like to see in a potential Controller Panel?

Xbox has launched a Platform to collect feedback and what users really want.

This is both for the console, but also Xbox on PC.

I think universal gyro adoption is being held back by the Xbox controller, so let's make some noise!

The most upvoted things are obviously things like exclusives.

The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear.

And he said it without being anti-AI.

Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected.

Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet.

The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA.

And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked.

Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product.

The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches.

What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it.

Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next.

Those are different jobs.

Get bent u lazy ahh mods

Let it be known theyre petty af

Personally I have completely stopped using Nespresso and went back to making moka coffee.

The added friction needed to make it made me drink less coffee overall, so I generally feel less stressed.

random shit that popped in my feed lmao

We can finally use our gamepad as a mouse
