Alien: Isolation | Nightmare Difficulty and Unpredictable Alien
Ойындар
Finished the game on hard so decided to test out Nightmare, but with the Unpredictable Alien mod. I'm pretty happy with the results; I wanted to play Nightmare but knowing how the Alien would be more aggressive, I didn't want the Alien spawning near me every time.
Decided to start recording the med-bay chapter since that's the first time the Alien is fully active.
Also, I used the Alien Isolation Settings Mod to increase the graphical fidelity just a bit.

Who ever came up with the idea of a broken tracker really had a good sense of humor.

Broken tracker and unpredictable alien mod is my favourite way to play. Increases the tension and the only way you know the alien is in the vents are the audio cues. The way the dot moves around while it's in the vents always takes me out of the game because it's so different to how it moves normally, it's all smooth and weird so it reminds me the alien isn't actually in the vents but is just despawned waiting to be spawned somewhere else.

did this on nightmare difficulty too and my god dude you have confidence, 60% of my playthrough was me sitting in the same spot waiting for the aliens footsteps tom slowly die down and then yeet a flare in the opposite direction to the way i wanted to go
29:30 ...Alien: I know somebody put that flare there.
The studio behind this game is the one who made total war series. Alien Isolation was ahead of its time. I hope we're going to have this kind of game again. This is scarier than Outlast 2 and Blair Witch though I haven't played Amnesia, Soma and the first Outlast. Also not to mention, this game is pretty optimized. There are minimal glitches but pretty solid for its optimization.
I don’t normally scream bloody murder at scary games I get startled by it then continue. But thissss game. Holy mother F did my heart popped out of me like an alien especially in 44:00- 44:30... badass game for it being somewhat oldish. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏼💀❤️
Awesome how this is garnering a new following of players curious to try it out. I played it through on PS3 on release on Hard. Jesus Christ I had many many tense dreams and would wake up regularly feeling very disturbed - not necessarily Alien dreams but just very uncomfortable. Was playing on surround sound headphones and my dad came in to tap me on the shoulder for something....I nearly jumped so much that I nearly hit my head on the ceiling. Never played it through again but am going to now ...wish me luck! Ps, So deserving of a sequel !!!!!!

I finished it on Nightmare too, and honestly the only time I freaked out was coming out of the hive and realising I didn't have enough bolts to disable all the androids coming for you. Luckily I could get them all but I seriously thought I would have to restart the game then.

@jinmause206

The AI starts to "learn" the more you do stuff in the game. After escaping using lockers a few times (the harder the difficulty the fewer chances you get), it'll start looking at nearby lockers when investigating noise. My guess is that this guy used lockers before and the alien figured the shtick out. It's why the game encourages using all methods available to you instead of abusing certain methods of escape.
@Noctazar
3 жыл бұрын
The Alien is also scripted to react in certain way if it comes within a certain radius around the locker you're hiding in. The AI then starts a "gamble" - there's a X % chance it'll check the locker, and there is Y % chance that it will not - the X and Y numbers being determined by other factors, for example (as stated in the comment above) how often player uses lockers to hide. That's why I'm much more willing to hide under desks or behind boxes than I am to hide in the locker... It should be your last resort in situations when there's truly nowhere to hide, as it is a literal gamble on your life.

Either they didn't hit the right keys to trigger their hold breath sequence or they were too low in health. The alien will learn what you do, though, especially with lockers. Over time the alien will check it more and more. Each time on high difficulties you must hold your breath you start losing health. So if you stay in lockers too long eventually you'll be too low in health to hold your breath and the alien will get you.

@Kaguya Houraisan Look, I get that it’s just a video game. But the mechanics could’ve been way better. Having to be at an exact spot before I can even hit the prompt just drove me crazy. This is a type of game where a split second matters, because the creature is always on you. The creature and androids can attack you when you’re using a computer or trying to cut off a panel. Even those rewire systems took too long to boot up. Not good development.
those 2 swings with a wrench on your first death... i felt that for you
The part where you kept punching in 1702 wrong made me clench so hard XD
i spent 2 hours on this spot in nightmare mode. i eventually got past it when i tried sprinting to the keycard before the alien is out of the vent as you come up the stairs.
I feel like them simply removing the map was a bad idea, it removes the entire mechanic of finding map pieces. I feel in the ideal game, you are actually told or shown a good detailed map, or told where to go in detail, then you have to remember it. Then you can have maps without classic gamer "arrows" to where you need to go.
In several LPs, I made this observation: After the alien kills another human, it always seems to run straight to the player afterwards. Even if there are several rooms in between. As if the director reveals the player position to the alien after a kill.

Huh, all of the LPs I watched of this must have been playing it on Easy/Normal because none of them had the lights off in the medical facility. That definitely upped the tension factor a lot while watching this, so I imagine it must be really unsettling playing it. Quite a challenge it’s throwing at you, especially sans maps.
