Good news, but I fear they're going to be mandated to include "new lore" shit with black goo and Engineers.
If you're into that, good for you!
The concept might be a bit too revolutionary for the Alien franchise.

How about an Alien game where you... (hold on to your hat!), play a man?

Why not both? The game is stuck at 30fps on console.

It’s better at 30fps
And because doing both will waste resources and make the sequel take longer

And they got Creative Assembly back? I'm actually more surprised by that than the sequel announcement itself but I can't wait!
Wonder if they're going to reference Aliens Rogue Incursion and Zula Hendricks in some way (If Amanda is the protagonist again that is) or if they're going with another protagonist?
Also, can't wait to see what they do graphics wise, the first game still looks amazing.

Holy shit I never ever in a million years thought we were going to get a sequel to Isolation.
Part of me wants them to keep the vibes from Alien but part of me also wants to see how they’d handle opening things up towards action a bit a la Aliens. Like maybe give us pulse rifles but the Xenomorph still insta kills you if it gets close. I think Romulus is a good example of how to balance the two and wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a big influence on the project given its financial success.

If the same creative director is in charge of the game let's hope that he can steer the project in the right direction even with a new team of people at Creative Assembly.

Straight from the horses mouth.
The biggest complaint I have about the first game is pacing and essentially the whole being chased side of the game loses its allure midway through.
As others are saying, I'm also not sure what a sequel could really bring. They kind of took the whole concept to the max with the first game.

Remember this leak?
Full of coincidences/educated guesses or legit?
This means a remaster is coming too.

Good news to see more out of the Alien franchise. I'm interested in seeing what they could do with a follow up game.
Personally I'd like to see better pacing or reduced running time, since the first game felt like it was running out of steam but just kept on going. I'd also like to see some additional gameplay mechanics that keep everything feeling a bit fresh. Running and hiding was definitely tense at first but kind of felt a bit tedious after a while.

I didn't like the first one outside of the amazing presentation but still kind of psyched to see this for the fans and for the potential gameplay changes.

A amazing wonderful news to wake up to!
Can't believe it's finally happening! First one was amazing and they captured that immersion pretty well. Like some of the others said, hope it's not VR only. I wouldn't mind if it goes a bit more actionly since Aliens was always my favorite, it had the right balance with action while still making everything horror like. Only thing now is having to wait at least 2 years for it since it's only in early development

Now that you mention it, the first game was inspired by the first film so it would be cool if the second game is inspired by the second film. Or at least combine the best of both worlds, stealth with a few combat sections, that way it doesn't feel like more of the same. I can see people complaining if it has too much action, but I think it makes sense to go that route.

I really hope they can make this work. I don't think AI did badly on release, but it didn't do as great either. A common complaint is how it goes on just a bit too long. Maybe if they keep it shorter and keep a tight budget, it can do well. It really deserved it last time.

That would be awesome if the second one is more like the second movie while the first one is like the first! That is what I wish for now that you given me this idea. Honestly I think the action part will drive in a lot more people and get a bigger sale faster. I doubt we'll see much complain if at all as long as they keep it like the movie where it has horror and action instead of making it full on action like Marines and Fireteam.

And until tuesday is £6.74 / $8 on Xbox with all the DLC included.
I just bought it (had it on Disc previously but only played the Preorder DLC) - the bargain price and 60fps swung it.
Probably worth getting that in the first post,

- perfect for the time of year too (if being absolutely terrified needs a time of year)!

I saw a movie where a bunch of 20 something just walked into a top secret space station and caused a ruckus.
I was trying to point to the first one you were in isolation, and in the sequel you get a group probably. I thought Alien: Togetherness, but changed it.
