Alien: Isolation

Anyone playing this?

I've heard great things and its based on the movie Alien. I'm excited about getting it. 🙂

Anyone else think this is going to be fun? I mean, it'd be cool to experience what Ripley went through to get off of the Nostromo alive.

I'm not playing it, but I have been watching a Let's Play of it. Generally the game looks like great fun, except there's a fair amount of back tracking and the save system can cause a feeling of repetition if you happen to die a lot.

I'll probably consider picking it up when I buy a PS4 at some time in the future. I could get the PS3 version but I'd rather wait and have it as part of a new console library to play through.

I haven't played it but I'm very much interested. I've always been a huge Alien fan. It looks great.

Having watched a whole play through, the main thing I went away with is this:

Spoiler

The ending is really not that good. It's just too rushed with getting on the ship, you open a door, and immediately the Alien is there and seconds later, you open the airlock. You don't even get an animation of being sucked out, it just cuts to you floating in space. It could have been so much more, like one last stealth act of luring the Alien into the airlock but you don't have anything on you so you can't just toss a Noisemaker in there right away and win. It could've still gone wrong and something causes Ripley to get sucked out too, I just think the delivery was very disappointing.
