Alien: Isolation is really going for the full Alien feel, right down to the "futuristic" technology that we saw on the original set back in the day.
It's kind of amusing seeing what movie makers thought would be the "future" as we watch everything on our flat-screen LCDs and smartphones now, but developer Creative Assembly is trying to use that to scare the crap out of you.
In Isolation, you won't have a cell phone. You won't have any connection to the outside world. It's just you and one big, ugly xenomorph. Creative Assembly goes over all of this in their all-new "Lo-fi Sci-fi" trailer for the game.
Everything is deliberately bulky and hard to use in the game -- even your trusty motion tracker is big and unwieldy, making it so you can't hold a weapon while tracking your xenomorph buddy.
The devs have even gone as far as taking elements of the game, ripping it to a VCR cassette, and re-inserting it into the game on the many screens to give a real 1980s version of the future. The staff also states in the video that they didn't make a single thing in the game that they didn't think could have been produced on the original Alien set.
Check out the video below, and let us know what you think of this '80s-inspired future.
