Aliens: Colonial Marines sucked in many ways – for example, for trying to pass pre-rendered scenes as gameplay. Well, the license didn't die with the game and now SEGA is promising a new game - Alien: Isolation. It is going to be launched at the end of 2014. In it, you'll play Amanda Ripley, the daughter of the titular female badass, who goes on a search for her mother 15 after the events of Alien.
You'll go to the decommissioned space trading station Sevastopol. There, you'll supposedly get to “know the true meaning of fear” while you run away from the “dynamic and reactive” Alien (wait, there's only going to be one? Nice!) and probably fight with Sevastopol's squatters, hack, salvage, loot – and all that just to survive.
Hopefully it will go down better than Colonial Marines and their naturally stupid AI Aliens.

My single largest problem with this, is how much time the devs are putting in to trash talking EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE FRANCHISE!
Here's an idea, how about you put some effort into making a good fucking game? Instead of talking shit about everyone else. If you seriously think you're going to just piss all over Aliens vs Predator 2...good luck.
Also, I've Giler's cut of Alien 3. Anyone who says that film sucks need to see that

SEGA and Creative Assembly... they both kind of let us down with their recent games. Hope they will deliver with this as it looks super good. Love the old 80's movie style.

I like Prometheus

I can accept some "creative liberty" for some survival horror game like this. hell, I can accept it more than the tripe that was Prometheus.

I'm sorry, but is everyone on the planet intent on completely ignoring and rewriting the established canon? Ridley Scott gets a free pass because all the crap that came after him...came after him, and Prometheus is going back to his plan for the story.
But...dafuq? Amanda did not go hunting after fucking aliens!

I want to say "this could be good!", but then I remember that the last Aliens game was abhorrent, SEGA is still the publisher, and Creative Assembly are developing it - a team of developers that not only is very inexperienced with non-strategy games, but also brought out Rome 2: Total Garbage recently.
We're fucked.
