Hey Guys!
I'm doing my dissertation on how fear is created in horror games with a case study on alien: isolation for a game art degree.
It would mean a lot and really help me if people took the 5 mins to fill in this survey.
I'll leave the link below if anyone has the time ❤️
When do you think the game will come out? And also wanted to ask when they started making it?
Did anyone else find this as an in-universe way for a company like Seegson to poke fun at Weyland Yutani for trying to "recreate" life with their androids (Samuels/Bishop, at the time of the game's development)?
I find it as a very clever way of establishing lore through the game and how the world itself feels about WY playing around with trying to make more empathetic synthetics meanwhile Seegson views it as nothing but an inorganic, utilitarian tool
It's great how much attention is poured into even the smaller details even though most people remember the game for its gameplay AI
I’ve seen videos of pre-bloody Kuhlman before at best.
It immediately looked off but I was in the middle of a camera rotation 😅
Phew! What a journey. Always wanted to play this game and finally bought the deluxe edition during a sale. After my first playthrough, I loved this game. It was frustrating and scary when it needed to be, the mechanics were solid, the alien AI may be the gold standard of horror game-making, and the atmosphere and set design is dynamite. My only qualms are that I feel not much was given to the story or the characters. Amanda is likable enough, but everyone else is relatively thin and there’s some pacing issues between and within the chapters. Besides that, it’s an awesome experience, looking forward to playing it again for my platinum trophy and the sequel when we get some news on it.
This Molotov thinks it’s a noisemaker. Doesn’t really matter what I put down. This noise happens. Alien doesn’t hear it. As oppose to me killing it’s children !
Also has anyone found their carcass or does Ripley kill them so hard they go straight to heaven ?
Not looking for help, just thought it was funny i haven’t found anything to make a medkit, I think its been like this since the showroom androids
Someone posted the showroom androids earlier. I commented that there’s somewhere you can stand where the androids don’t even see you as they enter. Their movement patterns are extremely predictable even on nightmare; nothing like the Xeno. I guess folks didn’t believe me as I even got downvoted. Well, as promised, here’s the video. This one is nightmare just to show you it works always, on every difficulty level. Be willing to sacrifice an EMP and a couple Molotovs. If you’re quick, you could probably skip the EMP.
The key is you have to wait for all six of them to enter the room and briefly congregate in the middle before you Molotov them, or you run the easy risk of missing one or two still straggling in.
Especially when they’re invisible…
Don’t know how you guys do it. But this how I does it.
I've been hoarding these links for awhile, showing them to people here in various comments when I think it would help them.
Figure it will be easier for everyone (and especially me) if I just collate all of these great resources here for everyone to use.

As great as her voice acting was, the entire story wasn't very good. I liked Amanda well enough, but as long as the new protagonist is well voice acted we wouldn't be missing out on much.
Amanda being Ripley's daughter didn't really add much except weird timeline shenanigans. The idea had potential but it'd change very little if Amanda was just some random.
We already know how her story ends, and it's not hard to figure out how Amanda survived.
Amanda served her purpose well, but it'd be a lot more interesting with someone new. Amanda's story and character wasn't interesting enough to need more.
I definitely wouldn't be upset if it's her again, but I think there's more value in a new character.
I’m playing on a PS5, but Asking because as a PS4 game, I imagine it might’ve been designed to use the Virtual Surround Sound on the PS4 headset.
I couldn’t find an answer online, but I imagine it doesn’t work as well with the PS5’s 3D audio feature. With the PS5Pulse, does it just function as a standard stereo headset?
