Sequel fucking when?
yeah I can't wait to open more doors
>wasn't profitable
current generation was too casual for it so probably never
>>335104792
Make it based around the new alien.
I don't think it sold particularly well. I wouldn't expect a sequel.
>the very definition of a casual game
I dropped the game like 3/4 of the way through because one part the alien pitched a fucking tent and made some hot cocoa while i sat in a cabinet for 10 minutes straight
i just cant handle sitting there doing nothing for so long

It's a survival horror game with item conservation, mandatory stealth, and proper save points and loss of progress upon death. It was hardcore enough that IGN and Gamespot gave it a 5.9 and 6, with the difficulty being the main criticisms.
>>335105659
Why would a big time video game reviewer's opinion matter to anyone other than a casual? The stealth was sub-par. It was built around a gimmick for gamurs that only play games with a gimmick.
>>335104792
Creative Assembly is too busy milking total war, so never:(
>>335105580
There was a mod iirc that fixes that, it made the game much more fun. Hopefully a sequel will come out when the new movies come out. Was on of the best looking games last year and had amazing atmosphere.
>>335105227
fuck you and fuck that. Isolation was a love letter to Alien 1.
>>335105891
I have no idea what you're talking about in regards to gimmicks, but when a game releases and gets negative reviews from major journos, coupled the Alien game released the previous year being shit, and the game was doomed to not sell well.
>>335105659
Nigga pls, it's Outlast with manual saving
The stealth is shallow as fuck once you realize the alien can't see over waist high objects and even then they give you the flamethrower super early in the game
it barely broke even. probably because it was all flash and no substance and played like a slasher movie except the slasher wore a rubber alien suit. the alien was always on too short of a leash and stalked only amanda and came out at all the same moments. it had utterly top notch sound, lightning, and presentation but that was it.
>>335105341
Didn't they sell 1 Million+ copies?
>>335106130
Outlast had no combat or real interactivity. It was Amnesia except the enemies don't leave the level because you hid in a closet for a few minutes.
Isolation is some hybrid of Outlast style gameplay and oldschool survival horror, with combat being a possibility, and save systems that punish failure.
>>335106119
>low-fi monitors, homage to Scott's Alien, only one alien
Those are the gimmicks. They could have made the game better, but they had to stick with the gimmicks to attract jaded professionul gamurs
>>335106037
Prometheus came before isolation and had better homages than just copying the art style.
They actually try to re-create H.R. Giger's designs and do a great job at it.
Better than the game.
>>335106235
Oh, so you're just shitposting. Alright then.
Sometimes things work out okay. Shitty games occasionally get what they deserve. I hate that the people that defend this gay shit are the same faggots playing Undertale and waifu simulators.
>>335106225
It sold over 2
The hate in this thread is jarring. What the fuck?
>See Alien toy in EB toys as kid
>Can't watch that son, it's too scary
>See the Alien scene from Spaceballs
>That's a reference to a scary movie, son. You'll see it when you're older
>Finally watch the movies
>Cool art design and lore, but not scary
>Play the game
>Really digging the retrofuturism, but not scary
Oh well, at least Xenomorph porn is awesome.
>>335106225
That is not impressive for a AAA game these days. Games like Tomb Raider are considered failures if they don't sell 5+ million, and those are irrelevant disposable games people forget in a week.
>>335106315
The game is shit, dude. It deserved bad ratings and low sales. Cry more.

>all this hate
The game had an easy mode for kids like you, you know.
>>335106462
I thought the hard mode was the easy mode when I beat it in less than a few hours.
>>335106516
im sure you did beat it in a few hours champ.
>>335105659
>get items to make molotovs around every corner; fuel ammo is bountiful even when flamethrower is used often
>xenomorph slingshots to your location no matter how tricky/sneaky you are
>save stations are ample in every level (people cry about Medbay level having only one when there are two if they took the time to explore)
>Working Joes literally everywhere during last 3rd of the game; alien(s) just ignore them for some reason so you're double fucked if caught
It had its moments, but the game was piss easy, even on Hard.
>>335106516
Confirmed for skipping cutscenes like a monster
Nothing to add with a sequel any tinr soon. A Predator horror game would be the shit though.
>>335106516
>every game review complains about the game being too long
"Yeah, dude. I totally beat it in less than a few hours. I'm totally not a lying dumbass."
>>335104792
another 30 years
>>335106462
> liking games with broken stealth
Watch outfor the allen
I love this game! Incidentally I have insomnia so it helped me catch a few Zs.
>>335104792
I hope its coming soon but if the anons here are right about it not selling well it won't come.
>>335106674
>move around the thing simulator
>GUYS IT HAS A PERFECT LENGTH OF TWENTY FIVE HOURS
>>335106235
How are those gimmicks? Metal Gear Solid is gimmicky because it uses giant robots? Elder Scrolls is gimmicky because it uses magic? Hotline Miami is gmmicky because it has pixel art?
Seriously man, get some standards, those are design decisions, not gimmicks.
>>335106867
No, stealth gameplay is a design decision. One hit kills is a design decision. Those are fucking gimmicks you tard.
>>335106367
I think there are just people that were too salty this game was great and not another Colonial Marines.
>>335106462
The thread has half as many posters as it has posts. It's one guy who got fanny flustered in Medical.
I have a strong suspicion that people who don't like the game watched Aliens and Alien 3 before Alien 1 and expected something other than a tense peek a boo with an alien.
>>335107128
I think it's the same people raised on Dead Space who made a bunch of crybaby threads when the Resident Evil Remake HD version came out last year.
>>335106935
A gimmick is something to bank on and attract attention, usually controversial or unique.
Sticking to the original designs, alien and movie-wise, is not a gimmick.And if you played the game, you would know there is more than one Xeno.
>>335107128
i loved everything up to the medical part, that was the height of the game and created wonderful tension unlike anything else. everything after was downhill. you can only do the same go forward, locked door, alien, distract, find dead body with key, alien, distract, go forward, wait for elevator to next level so many times before it becomes old hat. the flashback to the crew who found the nest was neat.

>>335107438
I don't think medical was the height of the game, and don't think the core gameplay became repetitive any more than any other game, but the first half was definitely better than the second half, and the game went on for far too long with poor pacing and story not helping things.
>>335107656
Man, you want to know what an actual gimmick is?
The gravity gun from Half-Life 2.
That was marketed as some world changing technology, and the game itself had signifacnt portions modeled around it and the physics. entire sections were made just to accomodate that one point, and even the end sequence of the game where your only weapon was a gravity gun that had been over charged. And it worked, it was fun and people loved it and it sold like hot cakes.
That's a gimmick in a game, basing your entire game on that single point.
Now, What exactly is so bad about trying to recreate the atmosphere and horror of the original setting, what is so bad about wanting to accurately showcase the original movie onscreen for an avid fan of the series? Do you hate fun and things that keep faithful to the source material, because that is what you are implying here. Keeping faithful to the source isn't a gimmick, keeping faithful is the sole purpose a developer should have when adapting.
>>335105891
What? It was such a well crafted environment if you're an alien fan, it's not gimmicky in the slightest
>>335104792
Never. Casuals couldn't make it past med bay and it didn't make enough money, and it was too hard for reviewers so they gave it bad reviews for not being inclusive enough.
>>335106238
Prometheus was shit.
It was polished, shiny shit, but it was shit.
Isolation was a far better homage to Alien than Prometheus could ever hope to be because it wasn't being washed away with CGI holograms everywhere. It was too clean and neat to replicate what Alien had.
