It’s easy to see where SEGA had to make cuts from this Alien: Isolation extended TV spot to make it suitable for television. Blood seeps across the floor from a dead body’s smash head, another lies crumbled in a small ball tucked away in the back of a closet. Body bags lie scattered containing the alien’s victims, and a clone leaks ooze from its skull after getting its head bashed in...
Like survivors in a zombie movie who have never seen a zombie movie, Amanda Ripley in the latest Alien: Isolation trailer obviously has never seen an Alien movie. She commits the number one no-no when trying to escape from a xenomorph by jumping into an air duct, and boy does she pay for it. Fans of the films know that this is the number one way the aliens get around, and developers at...
Alien: Isolation is one of my biggest games of the year, and it might also be the first game I cut my teeth on with my shiny new PlayStation 4. After months of waiting and hype, SEGA has announced that the game has gone gold, and it has a brand new trailer just to rub in your face how many times you are going to die playing it. The Alien in this game is totally unscripted, meaning the...
I really, really, really don't want to be let down by this game, friends. Really. I'm a fan of Alien. A big fan. I studied the films in school, I watched them growing up, I revisit them regularly today and I constantly compare other sci-fi efforts to their legacy. Knowing that the last Alien game to release was Sega and Gearbox's Colonial Marines makes me super sad. That thing, quite...
SEGA is trying to stir up some sentimentality from Alien fans in an attempt to get them to pre-order Alien: Isolation. Not everyone is happy with the decision to take this highly anticipated and sentimental game the route of retailer specific pre-order DLC, but hey, here's the original cast of Alien talking about it! To their credit, the actors all seem genuinely pleased with the final...
There is enjoying a stealth game, and then there is taking the idea of stealth really seriously. If I’m trying to play trough Metal Gear Solid as stealthily as possible, I have no problem capping the occasional guard who will give away my location. It’s much easier than ducking for cover for a few minutes. For some gamers though, this is too much. To them, stealth means just as much to...
As anti-pre-order DLC as I am, I am just as easily pro-Ellen Ripley. Not before her and not since has there been such an incredible female protagonist in a film series. This crossroads has left me torn between wanting to play through the Alien: Isolation DLC pack’s bonus missions and continuing to defy such an anti-consumer practice as retailer specific pre-order DLC. Seriously, SEGA....
Alright, Alien fans. We’ve got some rather interesting news for you today. Alien: Isolation, the upcoming survival horror effort from Sega and Creative Assembly, has just earned some unique pre-order content. Sigourney Weaver is coming back as Ripley for the game. Not only that, she’ll be joined by “Tom Skerritt (Dallas), Veronica Cartwright (Lambert), Harry Dean Stanton (Brett),...
2014 looks like it's going to be a solid year in gaming. Maybe not as crazy as 2015, but pretty darn good.
SEGA popped up at E3 this year to remind you all about Alien: Isolation, its biggest game of the holiday season. We already know that this game is taking the franchise back to the original movie’s horror roots, and the trailer and batch of screenshots provided will just reinforce that. The big revelation of the trailer though is that the Alien is not the only evil being who will be...
