Well now we've gone into october, the time of the year that we associate the most with when it comes to being scared.
I've actually just preordered the Digital Deluxe edition of Alien: Isolation for PC on Green Man Gaming.
It is gonna be a first person survival horror game where you play as Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Ellen Ripley, who wants to find out what happened to her mother all those years ago when she left 15 years ago and never came back.
Amanda is grown up and is now working for the Weyland-Yutani corporation when she hears that the flight data recorder for the Nostromo, the ship that Ellen was onboard, had been found and transported to the space station Sevastopol that is currently being decommissioned, she is given a chance by her boss to go with a small team to the station and learn first hand what happened to her mother and the crew.
However, things don't go smoothly when they arrive at the station and now Amanda must hide from not only crazed people and androids, but also a lone and very cunning Xenomorph that roam the station looking for prey.
Of course, Amanda is an engineer and she can fashion some useful things out of the various scraps you will be finding onboard the station, but more often then not you might wanna try sneaking past the enemies rather then try to fight them.
It has been stated that whenever Amanda tries to use a firearm, it will feel very heavy and alien in her hands and thus stealth might be the better option instead of confronting.
Another thing is that the Xenomorph might be apparently able to learn any tricks you will pull off in the game, like that if you hide under a table it will start to look under them the next time you try to hide underneath them among other things.
I will admit I was a bit skeptical of this title since it is being developed by The Creative Assembly that up until this point have only made historical strategy game, the Total War games to be more exact, but it looks like they're putting a lot of effort into making this a great survival horror experience and not pull off some sort of trickery like Gearbox Software did with Colonial Marines.
And here are some trailers:

So far is enjoying watching gameplays of this, very much. :eager: I would be lying if I said the launch of the game didn't inspire me to do the alien theme on Suni's ask blog. :XD:
