Good. More developers should think this way.

At least this guy admits that we shouldn't stifle creativity by forcing everyone to have female protagonists. I don't care either way, but it should be down to the developer - not because some people on the internet whine about it.

Absolutely! I'm all for a more open industry in terms of representation and equality, but when people try and force developers into sacrificing their creative freedom to cater their demands, everyone loses.

Gotta love Creative Assembly

Totally nailed it. It makes perfect sense for an authentic Alien game to focus in on a female protagonist, considering the heritage of the franchise, but that doesn't mean every single game should be forced to have one. It should always serve the story.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the DLC handles once you're in the boots of multiple characters in this world as well.

Also, a strong female lead has been a cornerstone of the film franchise over the years.

Alien Isolation ... plz, SEGA

Marcello149d ago

Yeah Please SEGA or at least native VR support for Alien Isolation.

Alien VR… you’re sitting on a safe investment opportunity. VR owners are always hungry for new games.

Heck, explore RTS feasibility in VR, too. One hand washes the other…

Don’t chase fortnite.

tbh it doesn’t need a sequel. Fantastic game but not something to make into a long running series.
