But it'll probably be really, really, really hard.
You'll have to worry about more than just the Alien in Alien: Isolation. Dotted around the Sevastapol's corridors are androids - harmless till somebody meddles with the tech under their supervision - and crazed human survivors - harmless till the player does something "aggressive", such as walking through the area where they're hiding. Or waving a gun around like you think you're a Colonial Marine.

From the article, "Remember Aliens: Colonial Marines ? Of course you do. Half the reason that game was so controversial, other than being terrible, was how ingrained into pre-order culture it was. The hands-off previews pulled the wool over the eyes of the press. Retail exclusives, pre-order bonuses and special editions were shoved in everyones faces. And, of course, review embargoes prevented consumers, the people with actual money at stake, from making informed purchases. SEGA told you all to buy the game before it even physically existed, and never gave you a legitimate reason to because it knew it was garbage."

Sega and Creative Assembly are attempting to redefine the horror-survival genre with Alien: Isolation, but every attempt to demonstrate the games uniqueness has been overshadowed by the failure of Aliens: Colonial Marines.

EB's Matt Heywood writes, "The Alien movie franchise is for the most part fantastic, but the same cant be said for the often troubled and underwhelming Alien video game franchise. Like many video games based on movies the Alien branded titles have either been glorified Xenomorph shooting galleries, or sloppily designed affairs like the recent Aliens: Colonial Marines. The Alien video game franchise just hasnt been able to recapture the palpable fear that the movies first induced way back in the late 70s, but that may now change with Creative Assemblys Alien: Isolation. While at E3 2014 I got some hands-on time with the game and its challenge mode of sorts, and by the time my demo I ended I definitely felt like Ripley must have while she was aboard the Nostromo."

"People came away with stories that were so alien to what the game was about.".
I wouldn't like to be the person in charge of Alien Isolation's marketing. Not because Alien Isolation looks less than brilliant at present, but because there's so much bad blood to dispel after Alien: Colonial Marines, and so much intricacy to explain without ruining the new game's mystique. "Don't show, don't tell" is, after all, one of the horror genre's most basic rules of thumb.
