Alien: Isolation is shaping up more and more like its film counterpart, 1979s Alien, and unlike 1986s Aliens, the more action-oriented film on which last years Aliens: Colonial Marines was based upon. Much like Alien, there will be no complex firearms at the disposal of the player in Alien: Isolation, and the developers have confirmed this fact.

Hardcore Gamer: After the absolute abomination that was Aliens: Colonial Marines, fans would be wise to be at least skeptical about another Alien game. Fortunately, this one seems to have a stronger foundation than the most recent effort, which fell far short of even the OUYA-released AvP: Evolution game. Like Marines, this has a first-person view, but differs in that it focuses on exploration that freaks you out. Everything is bathed in darkness beyond ambient lighting, which looks gorgeous.

Sega certainly have built up a poor reputation for themselves when it comes to the Alien franchise, and this has left many wondering why the upcoming Alien: Isolation should be any different?

Lets discuss.

OnlySP: Aliens: Colonial Marines was an undisputed disaster. From developer roulette to publisher woes to development limbo to whatever passed for final certification, Colonial Marines was rubbish.
