So far I know:

• Never run
• You don't have to crouch all the time
• Range finder makes noise if they're close.
• Alien "learns" your hiding techniques
• Keep moving
• Use distractions if you have to
• Listen for the drop and climb sound effects to know when the alien has gone from front stage to back stage

I'm still not doing so well. Sometimes the big chap is in the vents and just camps right on top of me in the vents so I can't move.

I see some youtube videos where they're so good they "troll" the Alien. I just always try to find a desk - and it seems like they can keep away from her by walking around a desk or by leaning against a box.

I'd like to get good at this game but the game doesn't really "teach" you much.

What do you do if you're in an open room and you hear her drop? Do you throw a flare in one corner of the room and duck behind whatever cover you can find in the other direction?

You fuckers had me so paranoid about ammo use, I finished the game with like 600 flamethrower ammo, 3 copies of all my equipment (only 2 bombs though), max medikits, and flairs lmao.

That said, super super fun and a tough challenge! This game is so awesome. I’m gonna boot up a Novice run just to see how hilariously easy it is in comparison 😂

If they created another Alien isolation game would it be based on Alien 3? I can't think of another movie in the franchise besides 1 & 3 which was basically survivor horror. Side note although I may be in the minority I enjoyed Alien 3

(Full disclosure: I haven't played any of the DLCs yet because I suck at the main game, largely because my fingers apparently are too clumsy for anything beyond an Atari CX40 joystick.)

Title say it all, really. Where does Axel want to go in the shuttle at the end? In the main game, we are told that the medical shuttles are pretty short-range, enough to get to the Anesidora and back after Marlow called it in from her parking orbit. Without a hypersleep pod you can't pull an Ellen Ripley in them, and even if it had one I'd doubt its engines could push it out of the system. Waits has announced that he cancelled all scheduled flights, so it'll probably be months before somebody comes looking. And does Axel even know about the Anesidora, parking orbit or not? There seem to be no other ships in the system, or Verlaine would have screamed for help after the initial explosion that damaged the Torrens and separated Amanda from Taylor and Samuels.

I know Axel's escape can't be canon (if that word even means something in the Alien franchise) since Amanda Ripley meets him on that fateful December 11, but I'd put Lost Contact at Dec 5, because according to Mike Tanaka's twitter he was talking to Axel on Oct 2 2014, hasn't seen him on Oct 3 and says his goodbyes on Oct 6 2014, which corresponds to Dec 8 2137 in the timeline posted a few days ago. Maybe Axel returns to Sevastopol after he realizes that the medical shuttle won't take him anywhere. But where did he want to go in the first place?

So about the game judging by the what could we expect;Intro,enemy types,setting,character,story etc. Speculation:

Intro(Beginning credits)-Basically the teaser trailer but than leads up to a main menu?

Setting-Maybe a colony or alien infested planet

Character-Appears to be a female with a pulse rife(Amanda,Ellen,Zula or even a new character)?

Story-Maybe the colony or planet is overrun by aliens and we must stop them.

Enemy types-Aliens maybe humans

What do ya'll think? I know we have a long way to go but I'm very excited and wanted to see ya'lls speculations on the game.

The Title on PS5

Has anyone compiled a timeline of events including the purchase of the station, the androids going wrong and the Alien incident?

Does anyone know of a mod that allows you to use keys for quick-selecting craftable items like noisemakers and usable items like flares? I've tried tweaking the input file manually with mixed results. I can bind things you normally aren't supposed to be able to, do things that weren't intended... I know sometimes games have things cut during development or even retain vestigial mechanics and functions even after releasing, I'm really hoping this is already buried deep in the game somewhere or someone has made a mod for it. Below is my custom input file. I tried adding bind x select_item_x in the hopes I'd get something. Interestingly, even though they are not doing anything the game is not clearing them as junk data. I've noticed the game will sometimes forcefully clear invalid entries minus commented lines, so I find it interesting these lines aren't despite me making them up.

Conversely, does anyone more experienced in OpenCAGE know if such a mod would even be possible?

I'm at the elevator and it says, I have to activate the power. I've looked at LPs and they just hat power and I wllalked the entire accesable map. I can't find the powerconsole/switch that is required. Any tips or should I restart, considering that it's very early in the game?

I’ve been trying to get into this but I just can’t seem to, everyone always says it’s a masterpiece but I just don’t understand. I’m on this part kinda early on and there’s this woman trying to hack a door, she shoots at me and then runs off. So I pick up the tool she was using then 4 humans come in and just eventually find me and kill me. Like there’s no stealth or anything, if they see you that’s that. Idk how this is supposed to be fun unless I’m just an idiot. Am I missing something?

I’ve completed it on IOS and just bought the game on windows through Steam. I downloaded a save game file to replay my favourite missions / chapters but I cannot for the love of god figure it out. When I put it in Steam > Userdata > 214490 nothing happens. As well on Local as Remote. Can’t find anything online and when I started a new game, that’s the only save game that still exists, making it seem like the actual save data it reads is in a different location???????????

Could we get a non-vr verison of this game, I would like to play the game on vr but vr is hard to set up and is very expensive? I can't imagine an alien game experience in vr,it would be awesome. I might plan to use the psvr1 on the ps5 with a controller and play it that way. I really hope they consider a non-vr version plus a xbox/switch port for a bigger fanbase before the game launches.

It finally happened;The Survios alien game got announced. How do ya'll feel about this?

My opinion:For me I'm a little sad that its vr only and not console like they promised but maybe it's just the intended experience. I am very thankful that we finally got a name for this game and hoping it lives up to Isolation. I would love to more info or even gameplay so we have an understanding of the game**(**Possibly at the next Playstation showcase or Summer Game Fest).

Overloading the reactor of the Anesidora is absolutely the right thing to do and Ellen Ripley would have recognized that.

I just rebought the game on sale and got the trophy for not dying once in San Cristobal Medical. Apparently only 3 percent of players have managed to achieve this.

So tomorrow is alien day and I’ve noticed some stuff. First off, creative assembly and feral interactive have always posted for the alien isolation anniversary except last year. Which I found weird. And just a few weeks ago, there was a sale on alien isolation (maybe trying to sell the game before sequel announcement), it is still on sale until may 1st. And also, I saw a post on this sub that showed sega posting about alien isolation just 1 day ago. It all lines up for a sequel announcement tomorrow. But the copium is insane, I know. But I have my hopes.

What do you guys think, copium or based?

Edit: well I was kinda right. Or just got announced rn. But it’s vr only and it’s not an alien isolation sequel. It’s the survious game.

Personally, I would kill one of the synthetics and try to take their outer shell off. Given the loose neck material, it’s probably able to slip off with some sweat. I’d wear it along with the suit and try to see if I can at least get past the other synthetics if not the alien itself too.
