The key feature of the original Alien movie and one that has followed the franchise throughout is the element of fear. After the lacklustre Aliens: Colonial Marines last year, the gaming world has been looking at Alien: Isolation with caution. One question has been whether the game will hold up the original movie’s fear factor… well luckily IGN has found out.

Aside from seeing how the gamers react to the game, which seems very promising, one key thing to take away is the amount of detail that seems to have gone into making the game. Some of the throwaway comments made indicate the depth we could expect to see, such as the orchestral score taken from the movies, keeping the same technology from the movies and even random bits of chewing gum under a desk.
It’s safe to say that Alien: Isolation looks to be shaping up rather well – thanks to a sterling job from The Creative Assembly.
