The AI makes no sense at all
The Alien can be quite quick when sprinting. It had plenty of time to rush the player when he turns away.

I think it's wrong to judge the AI using a single GIF.
From what've seen the Alien's AI is actually one of the best things in the game.

Even though its true that the Alien seems to catch her too fast, the player fucked it up moving there. He was going to get caught no matter what.

But it didn't seem the alien knew the player was there, and in fact in the last second the alien is show he was past the door frame, once at that point there is the wall in between him and the player. And also the player doesn't seem to have made noise running or using something to attract alien attention.

Thanks. Great to hear that.

Probably because he wasn't crouched?
I'm assuming that when you are near the Alien, even if you don't run, the Alien can hear you when you are not crouched.
It's still well in the door frame when you last see it. That gif is just the player screwing up
This is a good point. Would backtracking a bit to a previous save point be too much of a hassle? Because if it isn't I don't see why someone can't just do that after completing an objective.

It seems the Alien might move based on camera movement as well. I've seen a couple videos now where people have been moving and keeping their eye fixed on the Alien, and nothing happened, but when they turn away from it, they're dead.

I've played the preview version a bit and it looks like the player turns and tries to escape. Alien in the game reacts immediately to steps and to running sounds and attacks, plus that tail is really long. Should've just crouched and stayed hidden.

Not really clear, tried can you run it, but can anyone tell me if 2gb of vram and an i5 quad core 2.7ghz will be sufficient to play this?
It's good though, the IQ i'm gonna get from downsampling will be glorious.
PCgameshardware.de reports similar performance.

FFS the people defending what is obviously broken is hilarious.
It's the kind of game that I think would be ok at 30fps,so might be able to run it at 4k downsampled to 1080p (970)

Seems like a pretty clear cut yes to me
Except it is not "obviously broken." At least not whatever happens in that gif.

this is still region free for steam copies right?

30fps with occasional dips, I think.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
FFS indeed. There is no way the Alien could move 15-20 feet in the time it takes them to quickly turn around while it is still in the door way and walk round a table let alone hear them. complete bullshit
I know, but its just incredibly surprising, I expected this game to be a monster in regards to hardware requirements for the highest presets, but man the performance across the board even down to the low end tech is high.
edit:
are these benchmarks based on the highest presets available?
Yes. Gamegpu.ru do not benchmark anything less than that.
1GB VRAM usage as well.
Surprised by those results.

It seems the engine only supports FXAA or SMAA as anti aliasing solutions. Please be SMAA for the PS4 version.

FFS the people claiming a soundless GIF signifies a broken game is hilarious.
All you have to do is go "Arruuuaaaagh? Stomp Stomp" after the player turns around and the gaps are filled. If you've watched anything on the game thus far gameplay-wise, you'd know that walking within 20+ yards of the Alien is suicide. Even crawling that close is iffy if she can see you. The player in the GIF didn't have to see the alien moving for it to have happened, you'd hear it in-game. The person playing just walked, whether because they were nervous or they just don't understand basic stealth.

It was sarcasm lol, people are lucky the Alien's host wasn't a dog, Gaf would meltdown with teleporting theories.

The above preview highlighted a lot of the design problems that I feel could be causing some of the Alien AI issues.

I'm genuinly curious how this game isn't 1080p/60fps on both consoles considering how well it runs on PC. I mean a $80 GPU can outdo them!

I wanna say it will? The Jim Sterling video floating around is from the PC version, IIRC, and he uses a controller in that. To top it off the store page says it has full controller support.

Xbox one and Ps4 are both very conservative and cost conscious machines - it's disappointing, but it is what it is.
Should of really looked at the steam page on the game lol bought it off GMG.
Anyone think the season pass for this game would be worth it? Green Man Gaming is offering a version of the game that comes with the season pass for $68 (essentially $18 for the season pass), which is $12 cheaper than full price. After that 20% off code, it's $54.40... less than buying a console version, but still about $14 more expensive than just getting the base game with the 20% off code. Might the DLC be worth $14?
