Alien Isolation 2 is finally happening, like, actually, really happening

In celebration of the 10th Anniversary a message from creative director, Al Hope.

Ryan McCaffrey must be dancing for joy right now! (lol, I know I am!)

They should make this game VR hybrid out the gate. There's no upcoming game more perfect for it that I can think of right now.

RaidenBlack198d ago

They should give the first one a VR update for the anniversary celebration.

OtterX198d ago

@RaidenBlack For sure! 🔥

Vx_197d ago

I truly hate that guy, one of the most annoying Xbox fans, MS lickers out there

Storm23198d ago

It is good news. Unfortunately I couldn't play the first one. Gave me way too much motion sickness. So sad as I was really enjoying it as I was playing it.

Einhander1972198d ago

Isolation is imo by far the best Aliens game ever made, I'd honestly like a remake with more modern assists.

Looking forward to this sequel.

redrum06197d ago

Easily one of the best horror games ever made imo!

Juiceid197d ago

Incorrect, the best Aliens game was made for the Commodore 64.

Neonridr198d ago

fantastic news, the original was brilliant. Give us native VR support for the 2nd one please.

Venoxn4g197d ago

...and for the first, official VR for PC and the PSVR2

-Foxtrot198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

F******* Finally

This is great news

Fishy Fingers198d ago

I really enjoyed the first, a great game, one a (once) great movie franchise deserved. My only grip and i feel slightly bad for saying it, I thought the first game was too long.

toxic-inferno198d ago

Don't feel bad! As much as the game was a masterpiece, it's length harmed the flow of narrative in a couple of places. It's a valid criticism of an otherwise excellent game.

Neonridr197d ago

I agree, it definitely started to drag on towards the later chapters. That was my only slight against this game as well

DF Direct Weekly #184: Red Dead PC. Nintendo Mystery Tests, Alien Isolation 2, John vs PS5 Pro.

In a rather jovial DF Direct, John returns from Japan having played PS5 Pro and visited a big bunch of developers, there's curiosity around Nintendo Alarmo and mysterious online tests it has in the offing, there's much anticipation for Alien Isolation 2 and some degree of confusion surrounding Intel's Arrow Lake-S CPU line-up.

Nothing but praise for the PS5 Pro.

Better than 4k looking textures, much less artifacts and shaper looking image quality from PSSR and full ray tracing at 60 fps and this is just the start. We're only looking at games that have been patched, just wait until games made around this tech hit.

Interesting they think developers should stop using FSR 3 and only use PSSR going forward.

PS5 Pro is the real deal, I can't wait to get mine.

JL2930189d ago

Hogwarts Legacy confirmed 30 FPS with raytracing on the Pro.

What We Want to See In An Alien: Isolation Sequel

Skewed and Reviewed have posted an Opinion Piece looking at what they would love to see included in the recently announced Alien Isolation sequel.

TheColbertinator196d ago

Musical segments like in Kingdom Hearts 2

Garethvk195d ago

I think the new Joker filmed ended those escapades.

Sonic1881195d ago

Who's the protagonist in the sequel? Will it be Amanda Ripley again?

Garethvk195d ago

I think she will have to be a part of it but I could see them letting players be other characters from time to time.

Dfooster195d ago

I wouldn't be against throwing a bit of aliens fire power in there this time. I certainly would keep the bulk of the game as survival horror but gun turret placement and a section with marine firepower would break up the gameplay nicely.

Garethvk195d ago

Good point. The first time I played it was at E3 and in the Survival mode I had a flamethrower and figured I was fine. It charged me and I let fly and it ran off. I figured it learned a lesson and it just waited for me to emerge and got me when I no more fuel.

Now if we can get an official F.E.A.R. sequel from Monolith as well

ChiefofLoliPolice196d ago

Agreed! I just fired up Fear Platinum Edition from GOG and been remembering how fun that game was. Playing through the whole franchise again!

Luc20196d ago

IGN 5.9/10 review badly damaged the game sales 10 years ago. Everyone trusted IGN back then. I'm so happy Sega greenlighted the sequel. Have a look at R. McCaffrey (the guy who reviewed the game) immature comment on the announcement.

redrum06195d ago

Damn, I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the sourpuss that gave that rating must be f-ing delusional.

on_line_forever196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

I like this game but i don't play it because I don't like hide and seek games , I need to defend my self

The way you deal with Nemesis in original RE3 was good you can defend your self and continue your way and he come back again... etc

Red3f1ned196d ago

It's hide and seek at first. You eventually get options, like a flamethrower, to send the alien packing.

I feel where you're coming from though.

MetroidFREAK21196d ago

I hate that people play games based on reviews... like play what you want. One person's opinion shouldn't be a deal breaker. I'm glad the game has gotten the recognition it deserves over the years

Chard196d ago

Word of mouth is the better indicator - regardless of what number is at the end of a professional review, a consensus inevitably emerges about whether a game is worthwhile. Consensus has yet to lead me astray, including when it convinced me to try Alien Isolation several years ago. I'd stopped paying attention to IGN long before their Isolation review.

MetroidFREAK21196d ago

IGN for this example hasn't been relevant for me in many, many years... word of mouth >
