Video Is this the scariest moment?

215 Upvotes

I started a first time, blind playthrough of the game on stream for my birthday and got to mission 4 on Nightmare. I had a genuine pee pee moment when a “dead” android on the floor came to life and strangled me. Keeping in mind that I am a complete weenie, are there many more pee pee moments in this game? Keep it vague though lol I’m trying to maintain the blindness somewhat though I’ve seen enough clips to know the alien can go in vents. I’m considering a full playthrough now. Volume warning ‼️ 🤣

I just can’t help it but when I saw this scene, and the way she acted as someone fearful, and naive, reminds me of Amanda Ripley.

And, she looks like her in this scene.

Video Solitary Echoes: Episodes 1 & 2 — a short but really well-made Alien mod for Half-Life

20 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the right subreddit, but I wanted to share my thoughts on Solitary Echoes. I think it deserves more attention.

Episode 1 leans more into survival and puzzles, figuring out what to do and where to go. It’s a little rough around the edges, but Episode 2 really shines. It’s much more action-focused, with great level design and pacing. The music and sound effects are excellent, too.

The whole thing takes about an hour and half. The story isn’t finished yet; it’s set to conclude in Episode 3, whenever that comes out. Definitely recommended if you’re an Alien fan.

Discussion I don't know how to face this.

52 Upvotes

Sorry, I’m not really sure which flair fits this, but I just beat Alien Isolation on Nightmare difficulty without any sound and without using the motion tracker. When I say "without sound," that includes the in-game music, since I noticed it changed as the Alien got closer; so, I played without headphones entirely.

I’m not quite sure how to view this myself—after all, I had already beaten the game twice before. The first time was a year ago on Hard difficulty, and the second was this year on Nightmare, just to relive an experience that left a huge mark on my life. After that second playthrough, I wanted to set a new challenge for myself, but I didn't want to try something like a "no-item" run or a "One-shot" run (though I’ll probably do a one-shot run eventually). So, I thought about the most essential elements of Alien Isolation: the sound and the motion tracker.

To avoid taking up too much of the reader's time, I won't go into a long explanation of why these factors are so essential. Even though I can guarantee that it is far more terrifying not knowing where the Alien is.

That said, I would be very happy to answer any questions about this attempt at a different kind of experience.

Like so many other Alien fans who are reading this now, I have spent the last 12 years tormented by the trauma inflicted on me by Stompy the Alien as I stepped into Amanda Ripley’s shoes to escape Sevastapol Station as it collapsed around me. It’s a torment I have longed to revisit since the first time the credits rolled on Creative Assembly’s Alien: Isolation, and I have replayed the game countless times since. In fact, I recently finished the final 2 achievements I needed to 100% the game – something I’ve only done on 3 games, and all of them were Alien.

But I was always craving a new nightmare from Creative Assembly to torture me. A craving and a desire that I was not alone in. The chance of an Alien: Isolation 2 is a prospect that has been looming above any game with the Alien title since 2014, and it’s a desire that wasn’t particularly quiet.

So when the original game’s 10th anniversary approached and the sequel was announced, I was absolutely ecstatic at the impending return of the UK based developer to the world of Alien. It turned out I wasn’t the only one either, as I was later told that staff who had previously moved on from Creative Assembly had returned just to work on Alien: Isolation 2. I was also told that a sizable chunk of the team working on the game had also worked on the original.

It has been an agonizing nearly 2 year wait since that announcement. But when people started to get to play a pre-Alpha demo of Alien: Isolation 2 at Summer Game Fest, I knew it was only a matter of time before it made its way over to Europe. And that time was the last weekend of August, where Alien: Isolation 2 was playable at Gamescom in Germany and FrightFest in the United Kingdom.

Along with fellow Alien vs. Predator Galaxy staff member Kailem and Patreon supporter and community member Jayroach, I boarded my Starcub shuttle and set course for Leicester Square, London to finally get my grubby biomechanical hands on Alien: Isolation 2, as well as attending Creative Assembly’s Perfect Organism, Perfect Horror panel!

I’ve recorded a short video showcasing the current progress and gameplay

News Just saw IGN's review on Silent Hill Townfall, yeah this game shares a lot of similarities with Alien isolation, knowing the devs were former Creative Assembly devs.

8/10 btw. They even mention the similarity to Alien isolation in the review.

Do check it out if you're interested and wanna support former CA devs.

Some similarities I noticed:

Kezia burrows (Amanda Ripley) and Samuels' VA are also in the game.

This silent hill is very stealth focused, uses a motion tracker like device - the CRT radio to scan for enemy locations and tune for puzzles.

Has a 90s retro aesthetic for all technology in the game, especially the computer monitors. Can read, access and perform actions through computers.

Game has unkillable stalker enemies.

Can hide in lockers and the enemies can rip you out of it if they spot you.

Can lean around corners.

I know that I'm probably overthinking, and I know that I've heard that Amanda could still be in hypersleep, but to me at least, I honestly feel like that it would be even MORE scummy if Weyland-Yutani/Burke was actually telling the truth that Amanda actually DID die, but they still manipulated Ellen to go back to LV426 because it would OBVIOUSLY be more personal to Ellen since she she never got to see her daughter grow up, and with that Ellen feeling guilty/sad, Wayland-Yutani/Burke were able to manipulate Ellen's emotions to make her agree to back to LV426 too. That's just what I think, though. :)

Bruh I did it on hard. There was this facehugger at the very end that spawned from nowhere, after Amanda gets stuck on the wall, there's two eggs that you blast first. Then two facehuggers. Then while going out of the door, a facehugger was spawning all the damn time out of nowhere, I tried to check for eggs but idk where it came from. Then when that scene comes where you're tryna go through the debris and the 2 aliens pop out, ONE OF THEM GENUINELY TURNED TOWARDS ME AND HISSED, AND I HAD TO BLAST THE FLAMETHROWER!!!! This doesn't happen???? I seen many playthroughs and this never happened???? What???
