Rumor - Alien Isolation 2 in development

Not the original devs and not even started yet. Might see it in 2024 if we're lucky.
 
I hope they remove most of the horror elements and turn it into a shootbang like all proper alien sequels.
 
I wouldn't mind a bit more shooting in a new Alien Isolation, maybe a new special weapon that does more damage to the Xeno. But not full on like in Colonial Marines or anything. If so it would be a totally different game.

Alien Isolation was more about the cat and mouse gameplay, with only a few make-shift tools to distract the Alien to get past it. That awesome tension and fear was what it was all about. Make the player too powerful and you lose that experience. If you want more shooting the Alien then I guess you just want a different style of game.
 
i loved the first alien games, isolation not so much, it was too frustrating for me. different blokes - different strokes, as always

Good game but the flamethrower was the cheap weapon.

No, Alien Isolation is a survival horror game which means that you the player is almost completely inferior to your enemies which is the whole point. If you want an action game, there are plenty of other choices.

Alien Isolation did an excellent job by tuning how much damage you could do while maintaining the feel of inferiority.

I don't have high hopes of alien isolation 2 if it is not the same team. Alien Isolation did an excellent job with a lot of designs and is today a classic game one of the best. Making a successor to this game is difficult as the bar is so high. As you suggested, you could go the action route just like the movies, Alien being a horror movie while Alien 2 is more an action movie. Problem with that is that the action must be top notch while keeping the tension high, something that might be even more difficult than making another survival horror game.
 
I get it, just found it a little stale after a while. Some limited shootbang sections would spice it up a bit.

Just busting balls.

I agree, the game did drag a bit too long in some sections. Some better more interesting action against the androids perhaps would have helped.

I'm fairly certain Mangler was being sarcastic, as per his usual posting style.

As for the others however, they actually are missing the point of Alien Isolation. :p



Not sure what your point is here.

Once I got the flamethrower the Alien was no longer an issue.

The Weapon was an overpowered weapon for Survival Horror.

I loved the game in any case.
