New Alien: Isolation Video Evokes An Old School, Low Tech Future

I am excited for this game. I am very excited for this game. Set fifteen years after the final voyage of the Nostromo, Alien: Isolation will cast the player as Weyland-Yutani employee Amanda, who is investigating the disappearance of her mother. Her mother, Ellen Ripley. This should end well!

The video above highlights the developers’ efforts to create an environment that looks and feels like the “chunky, analog, push-button” world of the original film. From this and other preview material I’ve seen, it seems like a lot of effort is being put into summoning that quiet, slow-burn tension Alien is so famous for. Bring it on.
