I’m kind of pumped for this game. I hope it won’t be boring and annoying the way Amnesia: Dark Descent was.

Amnesia: A machine for pigs I can understand, I hated that shit.

But you genuinely didn’t like TDD? Did you like the Penumbra series?

Less than a month away from release and Amazon.ca doesn’t even list the PC version … they can be just pitiful at times.

Interesting that they’re still using the older naming pattern for AMD cards.

Edit: D’oh, wasn’t looking at the recommended specs.

Check this shit out.
Worlds First Alien Isolation Survivor mode footage!

That looks pretty fun, and quite challenging. I can only imagine the sense of accomplishment when you’ve beaten the survivor mode.

#133

What bugs me a little bit about the perma death is that you won’t have free savings (will you have any savings at all that is ?), or ?

I know that free saving takes away from the pressure and atmosphere, but makes it also almost impossible to play in a nice way. I mean, you would have to beat the game in one run, having to play 8-10 nonstop or am I wrong about this assumption ?

Still, looks great, can only imagine how creepy it will be with Oculus rift alone at home in the night playing :zip:

#134

I guess the whole idea behind it is that you only have one shot.

#135

Hopefully it won’t get repetitive if you keep dying, though.

#136

look at that fucking main menu oh my god

christ that guy sucks

#137

Would be even better if it was using the low-res system font.

#138

I just realized how big that alien is.

#139

I’m sure the campaign has some sort of checkpoints or something, the survivor mode is literally a challenge mode for you to “survive”

EDIT:

Holy fuck
