I thought someone said earlier the leaning system supports Kinect. Even with the controller it's by far the best leaning system I've seen in a game tho.

it's basically just Dishonoured's system, right?

To my understanding both Kinect and the Sony camera thing for PS4 support leaning tracking and sound detection. So if you are screaming like a baby in your living room when the alien is near, it'll hear that.
It sounds pretty cool actually.
It can track you for leaning and it can use the noise you make in game - both for distraction and fuck-ups
You can enable both options seperately.
As komplanen said, head tracking is implemented.
Also, voice tracking! If you make any loud sounds (ie: shrieks or screams) Kinect can pick it up and it'll alert enemies to your presence.
I've only played with the latter and luckily haven't alerted anything.. yet.
That is pretty cool. I honestly look forward to that. I think this Alien AI is so jarring to so many players because we are so used to obviously scripted enemies who have clear set boundaries to their intelligence capabilities. We become so used to finding patterns, so when there isn't any, that is quite a change.

Nice! I'm stoked. I haven't used motion controls in a game since BF4. Can't wait to see how well they implemented it.

Thanks guys! More hype and more impatient waiting for work to end to pick this up.

About to leave the office and go pick this up!!!
Yes, but I thought that would happen as I got further into the game. Not when I die repeatedly on the same part.
Well... If your doing the same thing then the AI is just being as static as you are. It shouldn't be learning upon each reload, it's just responding to what it knows at the last time of saving. That's my assumption anyway. Try something radically different and see how it goes.
The VorpX build for this game should support 6DOF leaning with an Oculus Rift as well.
Last Survivor was what Gamestop had I believe. Crew Expendable was a preorder bonus. I could be wrong.

I don't understand. With who is talking if this is a single player game?

I got both of them for pre-ordering on Steam.

Twitch viewers presumably. The idea being that it picks up your IRL mic.

Thanks, looks like I'll be picking this game up, the mod trying to defend the negative review vs positive reactions from people in the threads on IGN really turned me on as to this is going to be a fantastic game. Everyone I've seen commenting has seemed to really like it.

No! Never! I refuse to try this game with DK2. I'll die.
I don't think so. I wish there was.
OK, OK, OK I take back some of that bs about scripting I said earlier.
I died getting shot by a human. "Oh great another fucking 5 minutes of re-tracing my steps due to the save system, I'd better just run around because the noises in the air ducts ain't gonna hurt me lmfao this game is so cripted". I literally got up one set of stairs from the save point when the fucker jumps down and wrecks me.

Ahah, that happens to me a lot too.
Did a huge chunk of the game, can't say how far I am
got the flamethrower and they failed to trap the Alien.
Overall I'm not really impressed, game is not bad, but I feel like it's mostly fanservice for the movies fan. It's not scary and the gameplay can get a bit repetitive (It's basically go from point A to B while you play around with the Alien and the Androids). I was expecting something like Metroidvania or CT1, but it's quite linear and guided, so far.
The complaint about the difficulty are indeed exaggerated, there were few bullshit deaths and the I.A. can get a bit crazy at time, but overall it's just a game that requires patience.

I just beat Last Survior and now it's time to sit down in some PJ pants, make some chicken soup, close the blinds and play the main story.
"Lucky... Lucky... Lucky... You. Are. My. Lucky. Star. Lucky.. Lucky.
Pretty much.
I was much more unsettled by the androids than the alien. I think blaming the game itself may be a little unfair, I think that the Xenomorph is so ingrained in our consciousness now that it feels too familiar.

Happens to me all the time. Before I get the game, super pumped. When I get the game, not so pumped. But when I start up the game and see the title screen, shit gets real.

How do you hold your breath while inside of a locker? Preferably both the keyboard and the controller way since I'm alternating between both.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's because this is CA's first game of this style.

Also occurred to me last night that this is the closest thing there's been to a System Shock 3, too.
I think this quote nailed it. I'm more interested in seeing the appearance, behavior and sound of the Xeno. I grew up with this thing. It's simply something to avoid....So far at least. The humans and androids pose way more of a threat.
Also, as far as the Xeno encounters go. I'm playing the game at an incredibly slow pace. This may make it much less threatening.

Just another heads up, I have a spare Crew Expendable code for Xbox One that I can't use. Its free to anyone who wants it, just shoot me a PM.

Exactly. I haven't been scared by the Xeno once, it's just an interesting creature. I grew up watching all four movies so they have become too familiar to be something scary to me.
Well I mean, I'm wearing a shirt with the Weyland Yutani logo on it, on the desk next to me is an Alien Queen action figure and on the shelf behind me is a Colonial Marine action figure.
To me the Xeno is almost a friend. I don't think its the game's fault. I think that I am inured to the fear the Xenomorph is supposed to instill in me. Over exposure to it I suppose.
The mannequin like nature of the androids however is a brilliant touch, I find them horrific.

"I don't know how you people put up with cryo-sleep..."
"What do you mean you people?!"

damn this game looks very nice ..playing the PC version on my big screen plasma in living room with a nice surround sound setup with two 12inch powered polk subs..the game is simply awesome, i want to play more once it gets dark and i can turn off all the lighting in the room..i have a lot of windows in my living room, i think the immersion factor by playing this at night with a nice surround sound setup and big screen is ACE for this type of game.

Posting again to say that my issue (described here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=133220720&postcount=2039) was solved by UnrealEck; FRAPS wasn't playing nice with the game in my case and was causing some kind of conflict with the Steam overlay. Ending FRAPS solved the problem. Hope that if anyone else is having this problem this can help.

Loving this game. I unfortunately don't find it as scary as I was hoping but really enjoy it. Anyone else notice the weird frame dips during cutscenes on PS4?
People should try to follow the tips Amnesia: The Dark Descent lays out at the player right as you start the game, which is to play both 1) in a darkened room and 2) with headphones on (or alternatively to 2, a nice surround system).
I don't think Alien: Isolation or really anything in gaming so far can come close to matching the sheer mounting dread that Amnesia 1 evokes, but it makes a respectable stab at it, and it's naturally heightened if you take some steps to put darkness and sound at the forefront.
