Alien isolation is a game currently in development by creative assembly based on the alien movie series. The game will be released on the 7th of october and although there are alot of alien games and creative assembly have made alot of games this will be their first fps game. The development team mention in their development diaries that the main reason they wanted to create their game is because the alien games that have been released are not the sort of game they wanted to play. The idea that they picked up the project due to something like that is quite an interesting and is although risky it is also something i think game companies need to do more often. Now the deciding factor for this game is if it is a flop or not since if it is a flop then creative assembly i think will stay in their realm of expertise which is rts games rather than branching out.
The game being designed to be in the survival horror seems to have been a good decision since this has been a genre that is currently very popular and although so far the game has only shown that it looks nice in the trailer the survival horror aspects are only mentioned and not seen. Since creative assembly is one of my favourite companies i hope it goes well but as mentioned before in my ip blog post they will need to make sure that they give the feeling that the movies gave so they do not disappoint fans as well as ruin their reputation.
