From using VCRs to recreate the videos, to the absolute sheer level of detail in Sevastopol Station, it&#8217;s a visual and auditory tour de force. If you love the Alien series, then Alien Isolation is just perfect with every sound and sight being taken right from the films.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best thing about Alien Isolation\u2019s look is the lighting. When you&#8217;re in a vent and there&#8217;s a turning fan spinning shadow at you through the misted air, you almost forget you&#8217;re huddled in a tiny bedroom in London, you&#8217;re on the Sevastopol Station and the alien is coming for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sound design is brilliant too, every sound is taken from the films and mixed to be absolutely crisp on modern sound systems. From the siren shrieks of the alarm system to the scraping shoes of Amanda Ripley, every sound is perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if they keep that the same, even if they take the game to a new location, Alien fans are going to be happy with Alien Isolation 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Less Alien<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-alien.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know this is an odd one for a game called Alien Isolation, but the one thing that I\u2019d hope to see less of in a sequel would be the titular alien.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you first see the Alien unfold from the ceiling it&#8217;s the cinematic moment you&#8217;ve been waiting for ever since video games featuring aliens first started being made. It&#8217;s a dread monster from your nightmares. It&#8217;s the unknowable made flesh. It&#8217;s a chitinous demon that exists only to kill. It gives you a scare and then it&#8217;s off, hunting its prey through the dimly lit corridors of Sevastopol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the next time you meet it, there&#8217;s still some of the thrill there, what will the alien do? How will it find you? Will it find you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the third time it&#8217;s less scary. The fourth time even less so, until you begin to be a little immune to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there was just a little less alien in Alien Isolation 2, that\u2019d be amazing because it could be a real event. Instead of following you around the game, popping up around every corner, the alien would descend on you like a furious angel from time to time, prolonging the fear effect it causes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best things the original Alien film did was hide the alien until near the very end. I know for an Alien Isolation game we\u2019d want to not wait the whole game to see if there\u2019s an alien in the game, but it\u2019d still be great to have a little bit more mystery and terror associated with the alien. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>More Threatening Androids<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-android.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Isolation Android\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you first play Alien Isolation, the scariest enemy is definitely the androids. They have blank faces, and they spout only kindness as they throttle the life from you. It&#8217;s a classic trope and Alien Isolation pulls it off with aplomb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only issue with the androids in Alien Isolation is that they\u2019re a little slow, which means you can easily out-trot them. They don\u2019t have to be sped up to be scarier, and they are scary already because they have that Terminator-that-never-stops attitude to life, but they just aren\u2019t always a credible threat. You can just hop away and because the game\u2019s set up as levels, they can\u2019t chase you forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe instead of an alien hunting you, the androids could? It\u2019d turn them from annoyances, to hunters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Make Humans Less Shooty<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-humans.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Isolation Humans\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Alien Isolation, the humans are able to shoot you when you\u2019re hiding in the dark, across a room that could be a mile long with pinpoint accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which is pretty impressive when they\u2019re juggling homicidal androids and a hunting alien.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the sequel, we\u2019d like to see them be a little more easy to handle. They ramp up the tension when they\u2019re about, but they do it more so than the alien. Nerf humans plox.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Let Amanda Ripley Be Her Own Person<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/amanda-ripley.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve seen Amanda Ripley follow in her mother\u2019s footsteps in Alien Isolation, she met aliens like mum, she fought off killer androids like mum, and she crept through a whole heck load of vents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019d love to see Amanda Ripley forge her own path now, obviously it\u2019d still be an Alien game so some touchstones would remain the same, but a new story and a new setting could breath life into not only a sequel, but also the whole beleaguered Aliens franchise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>More Freedom<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-luggage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst Alien Isolation does well at giving you little areas to sneak around in and work to avoid detection by the alien\/androids\/humans and you can backtrack, it\u2019s still at heart a linear corridor game. Some of the reasons for not being able to deviate from the path get a little silly at times, such as one branching path being blocked off with a couple of suitcases Amanda Ripley should be able to just hop over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019d be great to just actually go down there instead, Alien Isolation 2 could be a true open world sneak-em-up, you could explore an entire location and have it all be your playground for alien based horror. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019d mean fewer suitcase roadblocks too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Saving Point Boost<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-save.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot to be said for Alien Isolation\u2019s attitude to saving, it gives you save points instead of allowing a quicksave, which helps keep the game tense because you don\u2019t know how much you\u2019ll lose if you die.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only problem is that it\u2019s always just a bit too long between save points. You can lose time spent doing nothing more than travelling down empty corridors only to be surprised at the end, only to have to do it all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not asking for quicksaves or anything, but just a little bit more frequency in the amount of save points would help ease frustration, whilst still keeping the game tense.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lose Some of the Busywork<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-dull.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alien Isolation doesn\u2019t outstay its welcome, but there\u2019s a few sections in the game that feel like busywork, where you\u2019re running errands or performing more repairs than Isaac Clarke on a busy day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alien Isolation 2 could skip some of this and have a leaner, more focused storyline, if for example you didn\u2019t have to spent ages getting medikits for a wounded comrade. There\u2019s always direction in Alien Isolation &#8211; escape from the alien &#8211; but sometimes it gets buried underneath other tasks, which we could stand to lose if the game ever gets a sequel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this means the running time gets cut a little, then that is a sacrifice we can make.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tighten Up the End (SPOILERS FOR THE END BELOW HERE)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-spacesuit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original game ends, in that the alien nest is defeated, but it ends on a definite cliffhanger. Ripley floats alone in space until her helmet is illuminated by the searchlights of a spaceship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who\u2019s on that ship? How evil are they? Given that it\u2019s the Alien universe, they\u2019re probably extremely evil, but the ending serves to just set up a sequel, which we\u2019re still crossing fingers for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019d be great, if Alien Isolation 2 ever gets made, an ending that finalises her story so Amanda Ripley can get some peace over her missing mother, and maybe move on with her life. So she can have the happy life that we glimpse momentarily in the director\u2019s cut of Aliens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Do You Want To See?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/alien-isolation-fight.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well that\u2019s what we want to see from a potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/alien-isolation\/\">Alien Isolation<\/a> sequel.
