I love how they take as big a deal as a cast reunion for Alien and film-accurate missions and make them DLC. That just speaks volumes about the quality of the product as a whole.
Alien: Isolation will be yet another shitty game in a long line of shitty Alien games.
You say this as if this hasn’t been the industry standard for years now, or as if developers aren’t at all influenced by the publisher
People have actually played this game and they love it. Besides, Gearbox isn’t making it with Borderlands 2 money, have some fucking faith.
I don’t give a shit what other studios did with the IP or how they fucked it up, I’m hyped for this one. CA made a whole team just for this game.
Sigourney Weaver was “very touched” by Alien: Isolation’s premise:

This game better turn out good…
That is a pretty wild jump from premise to conclusion. DLC should be a big thing, frankly it’s an industry standard to take say, maps that should have been in the game in the first place, and make them DLC. Or maybe a couple tiny side/bonus missions hardly different from the main missions. However, a large spinoff, which is pretty much exactly what this is, is what DLC is basically made for (but rarely used for these days), not sure why you’re complaining about it.
Plus there’s that whole press release about Sigourney Weaver being “touched” by the game’s main story. I dunno, it just reeks of manufactured hype to me.
lol what do you expect?
“How was working on Alien Isolation reprising your role as ripley?”
“It was okay.”
No different than an interview for a film before it comes out
k3nny is overreacting.
No, I’m just genre savvy. Plus Watch Dogs wound up a total bummer so I’m not expecting anything else good other than The New Order.
no, you’re overreacting.
No bullshit excuses, no alternate names, no self-diagnosed bullshit. It’s overreacting.
Yay! Now we’ll be able to buy something that should have been included with the main game separately.
Great news.
Yeesh. Veronica 's voice. That’s gonna be a bit distracting.
Gotta love how Weaver’s aged so gracefully compared to the rest of them
