Thought I should make a thread for SEGA's biggest game since Binary Domain. Alien: Isolation are being developed by the talented people over at The Creative Assembly's console division and produced over the good part of 4 years with a 100 strong team. Please watch and be freaked out at the synthetics.

Honestly I can't wait for this game, hyped about it and glad to see there showing off a little bit more of the other segments now, hopefully they'll announce a demo soon!

I'm really happy that this game seems to be a true survival horror, with more emphasis on surviving than killing everything.


I want to watch the gameplay footage when I get a chance this afternoon, but from what I skimmed it's shaping up really nice.

I'm hoping this is going to be the game that puts Sega back on the map in terms of AAA games. It's an important game for Creative Assembly as well. If they get this right, it would really establish them as being Sega's strongest in-house development studio when it comes to both PC and consoles games. Right now they still have an image of just being a studio Sega bought that churns out RTS games for the PC every year.

Good to hear the game has support for the Oculus Rift as well, it's basically a perfect match for this type of game. The impressions from the people that played the game using the Rift seemed to be very positive.

Man, I had a weird moment taking out the recycling last week. The neighbors were out on their back deck and just chatting normally. As I was dumping the recycling into the bin, somehow the sound of the neighbors mixed with the clattering of the recycling in a weird way and it made it sound like there was suddenly someone right behind me. Startled the hell out of me and really gave me an adrenaline surge. So, to imagine wearing the Oculus Rift, playing a game in surround sound... I have no doubt that such an immersive experience could be incredibly scary, especially in a game that builds up the tension really gradually. I definitely expect to see health warnings at the beginnings of games, like we currently do regarding epilepsy and flashing imagery... "ask your doctor if you're healthy enough for VR." ;)

If there is indeed one game I am looking foward to... it's this one. This is the big SEGA game that I'm gunning for.

Game looks awesome. Definitely a game I'm picking up when I finally buy a next gen console.

It would also be depressing. Considering Sega of Japan's complete inability to produce a AAA game on the consumer level....

You're guess is as good as mine at this point.

I meant in terms of budget, think it's safe to say Isolation is either the most expensive SEGA production or up there with Binary Domain / Shenmue / Phantasy Star Online 2.

Also funny how me and Mang were wondering how no one was talking about this and then a discussion exploded.

How much money is coming from FOX's end? I assume the budgets for Isolation and CM were high, but didn't part of the budget come from FOX?
