Creative Assembly (Alien Isolation)'s New IP tactical shooter is UE4, sci-fi, sounds rather unusual

Nirolak · Oct 5, 2018

I get the sense at least some of this game is co-op? I was assuming it was competitive only, but the description doesn't really match up with that.

I LIKE THIS.

SofNascimento · Oct 5, 2018

Sounds good.

ket · Oct 5, 2018

Are "Aliens" & "Alien" two separate IPs? Because they've never worked on an "Aliens" game before, right?

Lackless · Oct 5, 2018

>FPS
>multiplayer

I'm in.

CalamityPixel · Oct 5, 2018

They are the perfect devs. Why not. Sounds exciting, new IP by creative is my jam.

Sci fi, unreal engine 4, shooter ? I'm in :)

This has been billed as a ground up new IP repeatedly, unless they're using a very odd definition of New IP.

Derrick01 · Oct 5, 2018

Sounds like it could be a good game but the multiplayer/co-op mention ruins it.

BE STILL MY BEATING HEART

(Even if PD was in development, you'd have to assume Microsoft's Santa Monica studio is working on it)

Why? It doesn't say the whole game is MP right?

Strafer · Oct 5, 2018

Can we please get a Isolation sequel for fuck sake.

KOHIPEET · Oct 5, 2018

Please have aliens in it please!

Hella · Oct 5, 2018

Immersive sims live on!

I should really play Alien Iso some time...

Predator: Isolation

They can satisfy everyone.

Sega dumped the Alien license and Fox took it in-house after buying Cold Iron Studios.

Arsene no Kiseki · Oct 5, 2018

Its a shame we'll never get Isolation 2. But this sounds really promising.

There's at least something that's not human in it:

Excellent hand-key animation skills for both humans and creatures

UE4 you say..... I hope the make the right decision.

KOHIPEET · Oct 5, 2018

I wouldn't mind a properly made, immersive co-op game where you play against aliens as a marine.

SavageSquirtle91 · Oct 5, 2018

I may be mistaken, but I believe that Klobrille (xbox insider) alluded to a Perfect Dark reboot being handled by Microsoft Studios Global Publishing. This means that Microsoft Studios would publish the game, but a non 1st party studio would handle development of it, similar to Insomniac Games and Sunset Overdrive. It sure does sound like Perfect Dark (sci-fi, fps, stealth), but it does state new IP, unless of course, studios are referring to franchise reboots as new IPs.

Shake Appeal · Oct 5, 2018

If it's the Alien: Isolation team, I'm in.

Javier23 · Oct 5, 2018

Sounds like an AAA Intruder. I'm in.

I think this is the same team in the same sense that Sonic Forces was made by the same team that made Colors and Generations, even though no one who worked on those two games worked on Forces.

sibarraz · Oct 5, 2018

I thought that all the AI team left after the game?

Yes this is what we need! They just need a sequel to really trim the fat.

Pretty sure earlier adverts have said it's multiplatform, and a new IP.

Falchion · Oct 6, 2018

Huh, I want to see what this turns out to be.

Zukkoyaki · Oct 6, 2018

Just now seeing this. Sounds freaking awesome! Sega has been doing some great things this generation.

gcwy · Oct 6, 2018

Blegh multiplayer.

Silky · Oct 6, 2018

Oddly enough, the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was ''Neotokyo?"

I do too, those three genres plus the tactical element makes me think it could be a spiritual Spies vs. Mercs successor.

Should be interesting either way.

Well, you got it.

TheUnseenTheUnheard · Oct 6, 2018

Here comes the Siege competitor

KingdomHeartsFan · Oct 6, 2018

If there was any justice they'd be making a sequel to isolation, I'm not even a big horror game fan or even an alien fan and I loved the game.

Ausroachman · Oct 6, 2018

Gives me syndicate vibes (which was an underrated game imo)

Bingo. I'm looking forward to what they have in store.

It would refreshing to have a fps with broader mechanics (RPG-lite) and good story. Given the "creature" part, this reads more like Prey. Of course, it is a new IP.

Overflow · Oct 6, 2018

Yessss, that sounds good on paper. Give Siege a run for it's money please!

ILikeFeet · Oct 6, 2018

who's funding this I wonder

Akronis · Oct 6, 2018

This sounds amazing, I was REALLY impressed with A:I so very excited to see what they have to show. Hoping for SP/Coop focus.

OnanieBomb · Oct 6, 2018

Looking forward to this one

FarSight XR-20 · Oct 6, 2018

Can a Perfect Dark reboot be considered as a new IP after almost 15 years of sleeping ?

They made a Halo game for MS after all.

JahIthBer · Oct 7, 2018

Aliens: Isolation.
I can dream.

Earvin Infinity · Oct 7, 2018

Everything was UE4.

But I'm okay with that if it makes development a smooth process for the devs.

They're owned by Sega, so probably them.
