Join us on ‪@AIandGames‬ this June as we revisit ‪@AlienIsolation‬ one last time. Tommy sits down with several members of the development team - including some still at ‪@CreativeAssembly‬ working on the recently announced sequel - alongside journalists and modders who can speak to the impact and legacy the game has had in the decade since its release. --'AI and Games' is a YouTube series on research and applications of Artificial Intelligence in video games.

Still can't believe they're making a sequel. I wonder what they'll do with it gameplay wise cuz I'm sure they're thinking that it can't be the same thing again. They need to do something to make it feel fresh and new somehow without going for Aliens direction with more action, or do something completely unrealistic while dealing with Alien while in 100% stealth. It'll probably take them a lot of time to brainstorm just the gameplay and design part of the game alone.

Anyway, can't wait to see the doc, maybe we'll learn something about the ideas for the first game which were scrapped and maybe could return in the sequel.

I had respect for Creative Assembly and their Total War series. In Isolation they really captured the atmosphere, the design of the ship of the first movie.
As for gameplay, it can be frustrating but at the same time that's what make us fear the Alien. It's a great mix of narrative driven, survival and stealth.

Isolation is up there with the first two movies, it won't be easy for the sequel to live up to expectations.

Played through Alien Isolation not long ago and it's still a damn fine survival horror experience. It can be frustrating at times but overall it's a tense and scary game that constantly keeps you on your toes. CA has done an impeccable job to recreate the feel and atmosphere of the first movie. The sequel can't come soon enough.
