How Does The Alien Work Off Camera Alien Isolation

Ойындар

Previously we've taken a look at how various NPC's work off camera, mainly from the Resident Evil series, including Jack Baker and Mr X. This time were looking at one of my favourite survival horror games... Alien Isolation! So how does the Alien work off camera?

    I remember wearing my wireless headphones that had a microphone. The headphones were great as they had 3d sound. But I didnt know the Xenomorph could hear the mic. I made the mistake of laughing when I watched it eat a group of humans and then look right at me and begin running to my location. Scared the hell out of me.

    I felt that it was too constant. The director REALLY needed to back off every once in a while. Lows justify highs, and relaxation justifies horror. You need time for the player to relax... well, "relax" as in not being hunted down in this atmospheric location. When I played the alien felt more like a burden than actually scary. Guess that's why there is a mod to give the alien more space to roam so it's not always breathing down your neck. If that were in the game naturally, then the fear and anxiety would be much greater, and the player would be allowed to actually do what they need to do without always having the alien on them.

    ​​@@infamoussmile1542it definitely is a scarier game than RE. Outside of 7 RE isn't scary at all aside from a jump scare or two here and there. The only thing I found scarier was the first outlast but that's not really a fair comparison considering you can't defend yourself in it. It's much easier to make a game scary where you just have to run and hide. Outlast 2 sucked, they tried way to hard to be overly shocking and gratuitous and it was filled with crappy trial and error chase scenes and pitch black areas where you can't see a thing which not only is lazy scare design but it's irritating not being able to see where youre supposed to go for 50% of the game

    The AI in this game truly is a staple to the horror genre. So many stealth/horror games have the enemies move very slowly and clumsily for the purpose of allowing the player to progress. Many times there's not much skill involved when it comes to escaping, simply waiting for the extremely forgiving escape window. This game really makes you feel like you're being hunted. The xenomorph isn't half assing its search for you. Its being methodical and careful. Because it WILL find you. And even when it catches you, it takes its time to make sure you're as afraid as possible right before you die. I love it.

    However, the alien cheats. And this is painfully obvious in some areas of the game, and kind of breaks the illusion. Atleast for me. An important aspect of any stealth game, is that the ai shouldn't cheat. Because if the ai is actually looking for you, it could show up at any moment and this allows for natural long moments of quiet to occur, which is far more suspenseful. There are several stealth horror games that do this better.

    @@Wr41thgu4rd You are not wrong, that could indeed me a potential problem that you would then need to address. But there are plenty of stealth games where the ai does not cheat, such as in the Thief series (considered by many to be the best stealth games ever made). Of course Thief has the benefit of having multiple guards roaming its levels, where as Alien Isolation (for the most part) has only one alien. My solution to this problem, would simply be to make the area in which the alien roams much bigger. There would be longer stretches where you don't encounter the alien, but it would also be more suspenseful as you could run into it at any turn. Then as the player enters the next chapter, the alien would be present there as well, again in a very large area. But with none of the trickery of literally being told where the player is by a director.

    @@Imaculata It's a hard balance to get right, isn't it? Because by virtue of the fact that the enemy AI is part of the game, the enemies actually always know where you are, no matter what. So the goal for a game designer is to make the enemy AI dumb enough that they don't seem like they're actively cheating by making them pretend to not know where you are at all times, while being smart enough to still provide a challenge. I think the director AI is a really smart way to go about this that more games should use, because by splitting the process between the individual enemies' AI and an all knowing AI, they can make the enemies follow the usual sound/visual queues and patrol paths that stealth game AI uses while the all knowing AI knows when to push them towards you and when to back them off to keep the suspense and give you room to actually get stuff done. You see a basic version of this in many stealth games where suddenly every enemy on the map knows where you were spotted by an enemy and runs over there, and then eventually forgets about you after a certain amount of time without seeing you has passed, but having an active director would allow for more games to throw unexpected curveballs at you like changing whether or not an enemy calls out to other enemies if they spot you or pushing their patrol patterns closer to you after being alerted by another guard in their vicinity based on an internal variable like the menace gauge the director uses here.

    @@Luizfernando-dm2rf In these kinds of situations I always wonder whether it would've been more resource intensive to keep loading and unloading the Alien's model when it went up the vents and came back down, as there have been games where I've known an enemy has spawned somewhere because of a hiccup when a very resource intensive enemy spawns. Not that the Alien would be as much of a strain on a system as large stuff made of destructible objects or something, but still a question of which of the two is more costly in terms of resources.

    Love this game,you can train the alien to run away as soon as you pull out your flamer,even if you have no ammo.also if you near humans,just crowbar a wall next to a vent,the humans and alien will both come to investigate and the alien will never enter the map from the vent you hit,great trick to k1ll everyone ingame and still get pacifist trophy

    Honestly have always liked how the alien just walks around, some other alien fans complain that it doesn't climb on the walls or celings at all and doesn't really use that ability that was shown so thoroughly in aliens, but IMO, having it walk around is not only more accurate to the first film, but it's almost like the alien knows how powerful it is, he knows that nothing on this station has the power to kill him, and so he commands this terrifying presence as he walks through the facility.

    Thank the morons at ign and gamespot for giving it terrible reviews, 5/10, for us not getting a sequel. A 5 is essentially a 1, almost nothing gets a 5, a game pretty much has to not function to get under a 6 these days. I almost didn't buy it because of that and it ended up being my favorite game of the Gen and one of my favs of all time. That was the last time I put any faith in their reviews.

    I don't remember what difficulty I beat the game on during my first play-through. What I do know is that I'm still stuck near the end of the whole medical station bit on my second play-through, which is on "hard". I think I haven't touched that save for over a year, because it became so frustrating to just die over and over. Not sure if that's due to me having saved at an inopportune moment or just because of the general difficulty on "hard". I've rarely been scared by a computer game and I've been playing since the early days of home computing (ZX Spectrum, C64), but this thing...? I'd call it as scary and nerve-wracking as games can get. The sound design is probably what does it for me the most. The Alien's footsteps, shrieks and the noises it makes when crawling through the vents can get pretty terrifying. The excellent voice acting for Amanda also helps. I can't believe this game is now 10 years old ... still looks pretty good to me and I'm still recommending it to folks who are into a more "cerebral" kind of FPS-games. It's also pretty much a must for anyone who's a fan of the first Alien movie. They really did a fantastic job of capturing (and recreating) the look and feel of the world of the movie.

You have answered almost all my questions (and I can't believe you made this whole video just for me!! All between now and when I suggested it 24 hours ago! :P ) One question I did have, which might be silly and have an obvious answer: will the alien prioritize crawling through **player-accessible** vents to "shortcut" between rooms, or will it walk the long way around? I felt like my Alien never used those player accessible vents unless it witnessed me entering them.
