Alien: Isolation will be about 25 hours long

Earlier today GamersNET visited The Creative Assembly at Gamescom for a presentation of Alien: Isolation. Gareth Ramsay from Square Enix, who hosted the presentation, told them more about how long the game will be.

He stated that The Creative Assembly has made a preview build that "contains about 10 to 15 percent of the game". It took the people who played this built three to six hours to complete it. Ramsay said most people were done in about 3,5 hours.

If this is true, it would be fair to estimate that the full game will be 25 hours long. That is of course impressive! The information is contained in a preview, which can be found by clicking the link.

Holy !!! The evil within is 15-20 hours and this is 25 hours , this is so awesome ...

No, it's just an estimated calculation by the author's part. He's relying on the 10 - 15% data or scaled up but many games tend to ease around the 50% - 60% mark so I'm guessing by the very least, 12. 15 being the max, that's of course if you don't keep dying and saving wisely.

15 is a great length too.

[vishmarx]

it'd be impossible to play this game for 25hrs.
its not an rpg,hell its not even an action game.
survival fps start getting boring after a few hours

[DigitalAnalog]

That depends on how big the levels are. Again, NOTHING indicates that this game going to last that long, this is just speculative on the author's part.

[Gatsu]

Nice :), pretty long for a horror game. Totally depends on how you play though.

[JohnApocalypse]

WOW

[incendy35]

Much longer than I had anticipated for sure!

[SlavisH2]

Ni-----ce!

[aLiEnViSiToR]

wow this is a little unexpected, i really hope this game turns out great.

[windblowsagain]

It's a good length. But depends how much you hide and how many mistakes you make. Looking forward to playing it though:)

Weren't the developers saying it was going to be 15 or so hours? Either, way, length is pretty subjective. I doubt it will even take me that long

I honestly laugh at the people believing a reviewers word on an Aliens game after what all the reviewers said about Colonial Marines...how not one of them said "Hey guys, after playing all these previews it's shit and not worth your money...but I'm going to ignore that and hype it up for the studio"

[Darkwatchman]

That's because the previews weren't what the actual final build of the game ended up being. They straight up lied and showed off a version of the game that was better than the final product and in very short chunks of game at events, how could one tell immediately that it was shit? There have been plenty of negative previews for games. Hell, I even read a VERY negative preview for this game on some publication and the story was posted on N4G so don't get carried away with your assumptions about game journalists.

[MasterCornholio]

That's insane.

O.O
