Alien: Isolation announced for Nintendo Switch

[Rodjer]

trailer coming

 

[Brutalitops]

Heyyy that's pretty good

 

[zombiejames]

My best game of 2014.

 

[Pariah]

The only announcement I cared about, and it's a game I've played three times already.

Unexpected, but very welcome.

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

Neat!

Hopefully it'll reach even more players. One of my favorite games of this generation.

 

[Wanderer5]

Oh damn, maybe I will finally check it out!

 

[Corporate Clown]

Already played to death, but double dipping to show my support. One of my all time favourite games!

 

[Toa Axis]

Hell yeah

 

[StraightToHell]

A:I deserves a second wind. If you didn't play it first time around and you can stomach the horror then it is a must have title.

 

[IronicSonic]

It's time

 

[Braaier]

That's cool. Hopefully not a $60 title. I've been meaning to play this for a while.

 

[Brhoom]

Too late

 

[HardTimesFamilyPride]

Lowkey favourite announcement of the Direct

 

[MrT-Tar]

Never got round to playing it first time, so I might be down for the Switch port

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

Thats cool, game deserves to be played everywhere.

 

[Moist_Owlet]

A SURPRISE TO BE SURE

 

[mutantmagnet]

This great news. Too many games to buy now.

 

[Detective Loki]

Buy it so they make an actual sequel

 

[Menx64]

Awesome!!

 

[-JD-]

That's cool. Hopefully it won't be pared back too much. It never really ran well on consoles to begin with.

 

[digitalsea]

 

[MrKlaw]

Labo VR support?

 

[horkrux]

oh hell yes

the best timeline

 

[Blayde]

great game, give it a try if you haven't played it already

 

[Ninjadom]

Is it good?

 

[Deleted member 36708]

This is a FPS right?

 

[Sadist]

I have the unplayed Steam version waiting for me.

... ... fuck it I'll await the Switch version

 

[K Samedi]

Yeah I forgot about this one. Was one of those what the fuck moments in the direct.

 

[bane833]

I´ll gladly doube dip here if they add some extra content.

 

[Woffls]

This game is incredible pls buy it and play on hard.

 

[bane833]

Double post.

 

[Robdraggoo]

How about an abridged version where tg cutout about 10 hours.

 

[Deleted member 36708]

Wait this isn't a shooter?

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

Oh sweet! I'm glad more people can play this gem.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Hopefully the price is reasonable. I swear this game has been on sale for £10 or less on PS4/XBO. No more than £20, pls.

 

[Deleted member 9035]

Hell yes! Never played it.

 

[HeyNay]

First Person Survival is how I'd describe it. There isn't too much shooting in this game, but there is a whole lot of trying to stay alive. It's a great game.

 

[Juan29.Zapata]

You sunnavabitches better purchase this thing so I can get Alien Isolation 2.

Wait this isn't a shooter?

Click to shrink...

Has shooting elements, but you're not gonna last long if you go guns blazing. And there's not much ammo either.

 

[Wollan]

Arguably the best horror game this generation. They did the IP proud.

 

[GrazGamer]

Quietly optimistic but the lighting is going to definitely suffer and that's the atmosphere of the game right there

 

[CesareNorrez]

Never played the DLC. At the right price may pick this up, would like to revisit it. It felt too long, but the setting was wonderful to explore.

 

[Yasamuu]

Probably one of the most underrated titles of this generation. Probably won't pick it up on switch, but this has totally got me reinstalling on my PS4.

 

[Noema]

That's cool. Hopefully it won't be pared back too much. It never really ran well on consoles to begin with.

Well, it was cross-gen, so I'm sure they can have something that looks good and runs well on Switch. It ran on PS3 and 360, after all.

This is a FPS right?

Not a shooter. It's first person survival horror with stealth and exploration.

I mean the game had PS3/360 Versions which didn´t look too bad. Switch version should be fine.

 

[TitanicFall]

Hopefully Switch's compression doesn't kill the audio quality like many games.

 

[Dalek]

If you've never played it it's absolutely worth it. One of the BEST gaming experiences I've ever had. Be sure to wear headphones!

edit: here's my review of this game from the old site:

I'm 37 years old, I've seen just about every notable Horror movie and played nearly every notable horror/survival horror game. Alien: Isolation makes me act like a scared child. I have to keep telling myself that this is a videogame-and that it's ok if I "Fail" or "get killed" in the game-but It's such an immersive experience, that I'm feeling the terror that the character I control is feeling. There are sequences in this game, where I know I have to move and go to a certain objective, but I just sit there, afraid to move-knowing the risks involved.

The tension in this game is nearly UNBEARABLE. Obviously we'd be getting into spoilers to discuss specifics-but there is a certain sequence late in the game

Spoiler: Spoiler

Reactor/Nest

where I had lost, and had to revert to a previous save. I turned the game off for the night, and the next play session I was actually nervous to continue playing. When I finished that sequence, my heart was literally pounding-I could feel my blood thumping in my head with my headphones in-which brings up another point: you HAVE to use headphones when you play this game. The sound design is off the fucking charts-easiy the best I've ever encountered in a game.

The Creative Assembly have made a masterpiece, and it blows me away when I review their wikipedia page and see that this title is completely different than what they've made before.

Yeah, I'll get it again to play it on the go (although the immersion will be kinda lost :P), great game!

[Damn Silly]

So many broken Switches as they are launched across rooms all over the world.

Great game.

 

[qrac]

Nice!! I tried playing this years ago on a gaming laptop but the game just crashed because of a memory issue. Will get for the switch.

Killed it for me.
