From all the gameplay footage I've seen, the game looks absolutely incredible.
I disagree. I think Colonial Marines looked pretty choppy from the start, before it was even released. Everything I've heard about Isolation is that it's far superior to Colonial Marines in just about every aspect. The change from action shooter to survival horror gives the game an edge because it matches more closely to the original Alien film. Plus, you play as Ellen Ripley's daughter, which makes the game tie in to the original film much better.
It looks neat but after what happened with the last game I am a little bit worried.
Glad I'm not the only person who's worried about this due to the history of the franchise. Honestly, I'm wondering how this sort of thing is going to work. The Alien is infinitely more powerful than your average human being. Unless Ripley's daughter is going to somehow inherit her mother's badassery, this is going to have to come up with a very good reason as to why the Alien doesn't just rip you to pieces.
I'm not too happy about the fact it ties in. I mean, milking the franchise is what got us Resurrection and some of the not so great sequels. I'd much rather they set it in the far distant future, or even in the past. There's a ton of stuff out there in the Alien, and the Predator franchises which they could have made a game of, things which really would be amazing for a game.
Still, I'm very hyped up for the fact that it's a survival horror game.
