Alien: Isolation coming from The Creative Assembly and Sega, stars Ripley's daughter
Microsoft has outed Alien: Isolation, confirming long-standing rumors about the sci-fi horror game from Total War developer The Creative Assembly.
"Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disappearance. As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien. Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive."The listing also names The Creative Assembly as the developer, and Sega as the publisher. All of that aligns with a Kotaku report from October, which apparently correctly identified the title, studio, and basic plot details. Some environmental screenshots also leaked in December, as reported by Eurogamer, and four of the Marketplace shots are the same. This only outs it for the 360, of course, but it seems unlikely that this would be exclusive to the platform.

Damn that looks good, but I will piss all over myself if I play that game.
-
you play as ripleys daughter? cool
-
It reminds me of the trailer for Soma. That is a good thing.
-
I worry this is going to be an Amnesia clone. Those play patterns don't feel very appropriate to the universe.
-
seems very fitting for the first Alien movie, IMO.
-
A Xeno doesn't seem like a creature that would give up on the chase. It's not like a lumbering zombie: it's fast and tenacious. Seems like, if it sees you, that's your ass.

The story has been updated with official details from Sega. It's coming to PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in late 2014.

interesting. looks like they're going the Outlast/Amnesia route rather another tired Space Marine game. Creative Assembly is a good developer, but they've never done anything like this before. i'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Looks promising.

Creative Assembly has yet to give me evidence that they are capable of making a full fledged game that's not flawed with bugs.
Total War is conceptually excellent and for what it is was a good game. However the studio has not matured and refined the series despite frequent regular releases. Other than Shogun 2 and Rome/Medieval 2, the series has been slowly degrading. -
Awesome, not an exclusive title!

-
soooo...instabuy then?

Trailer looks awesome... but then again, so did the Colonial Marines one lol
but those guys sound like they know where they are heading.... really hope so!! -
