If we consider Isolation to be a part of the Alien canon universe, then we now gotta question if Amanda actually died of old age. Consider that it's Burke giving Ripley this information. That man would lie to his own mother if it meant he could keep a xenomorph all to himself... e_e
@@IgorTheBear Alien: Blackout is kind of a sequel. Not sure if it’s considered canon but it’s a mobile game in the vein of Five Nights At Freddy’s. Amanda Ripley is back, this time aboard a research station. I think it’s free. Decent game for mobile IMO.
@@IgorTheBear ugh disney, there is a sequel called alien blackout on mobile. its set on the ship that amanda got picked up on, its also connected to not only the movies but the comic books. kinda sad they made it mobile but it finishes the story. think of aliens 3 and how they try to lure the alien in the tunnel ways n kill it but theres multiple aliens and ur using cameras.
this game is one of the best horror games of all time. Graphic, story, Atmosphere, gameplay. everyhing is spot on. if you have'nt played it yet.. i suggest you do.
its a good game but its not a horror game not by a long shot im an absolute pussy and this game barely made me jump unless the alien popped up out of nowhere and randomly killed me. Its not scary at all it wholly fails as a horror game. Its a survival game at best.
@@kinsgaming8197 maybe its just not the game for you. for me, sitting in the dark with loud volym and a big screen. i was scared shitless and always on my guard.
@@CLOSEETV scared of what tho? The incredibly loud highly telegraphed alien? The only threat besides Joe's which meant literally casually walking away was an alien which was absurdly easy to cheese and was super loud and told you where he was nearly at all times?

He is up your ass the entire game so much so that any tension about him turns into will you fucking leave that room dude I need to push that button. It's not scary when the threat is ALWAYS present. It fails as a horror game it's just a survival game.
@@kinsgaming8197 What are your personal favourite Horror games? I'd be intrigued to know, as I (like most people) always found Alien Isolation to be absolutely dripping with an atmosphere of dread and unease.
@@GSGExtreme44 I watched the gameplay instead and that wrecked my nerves. There's no need for the alien, I build the tension myself on the ambient alone
Imagine that, in the vast Infinite of space, you're floating in a ship in cryosleep and your kid is struggling to survive just to see you for the very First Time but you're sleeping. And when you wake up, it's too late. The last person who ever cared an iota about you, you're own kid, has been dead a long time. God Alien is so depressing I love it.
@@lukenelson7176I don’t think they ment Amanda saw her sleeping, they just ment that while ripley was sleeping, Amanda was in a different area fighting for her life. So I don’t think they ment Amanda saw her.
Having the xenomorph just gone for 3 missions was such a great call. Chapter 5-9 are all heavy alien sections (probably the most heavy alien sections) so giving us 3 chapters without one gave us a break
I loved the periods where I was relatively safe. Fighting humans and exploring the area and story was fun. I love a great single player campaign and this game very loosely reminded me of the Chronicles of Riddick games which were absolutely amazing.
Yeah, the pacing and tension building in this game was perfect, it’d make you feel vulnerable in moments when it made sense and then make you calm down when you realise you’re safe for the next few moments.
A couple of things made this game powerfully involving. It raises adrenaline quite well. One was the AI of the xenomorph. When u realise its different to the other in-game AI and its actually working to systematically hunt u down. The other for me was when a xenomorph stands in front of u - u realise actually how massive they are from the first person perspective. Oh and like any good movie it uses sound very very well
Xenos have some of the most confusing life cycles I’ve ever heard of. So they can come directly from this black goo being ingested by a human male who mates with a human female and impregnates her with a trilobite that grows to full size before impregnating an engineer through face hug to become a deacon. They can also come from alien plants that release spores that goes into a human ear canal and becomes a back burster. They can also come from an alien egg sac directly that produces a horse shoe face hugger that directly implants a chest burster into any organism. Who designed this shit?
This game is so good. I remember being terrified in the beginning with literally nothing. As the story unfolds and more and more tools become available to the player, suddenly every xenomorph see you are going "Get away from here you, bitch" mode. The game simulates how Ripley felt throughout the movies well.
I'll be honest Harry, I usually fall asleep listening to people online, but you're videos are really intriguing and I listen to you talk all through out the length of your videos, its just soo informative. Loving these videos of yours.
So, you inspired me to start playing this again through Xbox Game Pass. This is an amazingly stressful game! One funny thing I ran into and spoilers: When talking to the gentleman in the medical area (Kuhlman, I believe) and the alien enters in behind him, I smacked the window with my maintenance jack which caused the alien to run away. I thought I saved him and was wondering how they script events since it's not a cutscene, but then his face just exploded as he stood there. It was creepy as hell!
Man, this game gave me chills like not any other game. But most bitter part of it is that the game just goes on and on, backtracking, prolonging this ending. I’m at the last part, where you need to release clamps for torrens and man…they did me dirty that I have to go back to reset generator when I just came from that room
these videos are so good man. one thing ive been thinking about that might touch home is even if you dont get the recognition you deserve, if you produce good content its only a matter of when not if. keep making great content! i expect to see you up there with the big boys
You don’t need a queen for eggs since eggmorphing is a thing. A drone can make eggs through cocooning people. These eggs can randomly become a royal face hugger which becomes a queen that lays eggs.
This was a very well put together video. I can still remember playing Alien Isolation. Ti this day I still say it was the scariest game I have ever played.
I had to look up why the station was named, when i realises its the Sevastopol not Sebastopol. For anyone confused, Sebastopol is a suburb in Victoria, Australia, so it was genuinely like "hold on a second!"
Man this game was difficult, found myself with sweaty hands the whole time. The AI is so aggravating but awesome. Shit I even played on easy and it was still a pain in the ass. But the story was great except it felt like the game was never going to end.
I know this comment is 2 years old but I wanna agree with you on how difficult and a pain in the ass it is. At the same time, it's so awesome and the AI on the Xeno's insane! And I played on the novice difficulty, too. 💀
7:26 That opening scene from Prometheus never specifies if it takes on Earth or some other planet, which is covered on the blu-ray audio commentary section.
Have you heard of the mobile game Alien blackout? Amanda was picked up by a ship after the events pf Sevastopool and brought to another station where she encounters another Alien and tries to escape.
Correction: the xenonorph in Alien: Covenant is NOT the final form as we have come to know them. The original (standard form) that we know is a biomechanical creature. The final ones in A:C are just flesh.
This is false. The xeno that David creates is an offshoot of the Alien from the original films based of David using the blueprints from the engineers to craft his own variant of the xeno. The Xeno from the original film has existed for thousands of years if not longer.
This is a really great game, IMO Alien Isolation is up there with Perfect, Dark, Halo, FF7, KOTOR and Super Metroid. I remember being as fascinated by all the level design, as i was shit-scared trying to explore while evade the Alien. I love how the devs took Ron Cob and Mobius's designs for Ridley Scott's original masterpiece Alien Film, and just massively expanded them like upto 💯. I miss this game wish i'd never got rid of it, i'm gonna buy it again on PS4, i wonder if you can use VR for this game? That would be really cool. I wish these devs would make a followup, which picks up on the events from 2012's Prometheus; using the same engine and you're investigating the temple facilities on LV-223, trying to piece together what happened to the Prometheus, and you have the fully grown Deacon hunting you.
This game grasps the horror of the Alien universe better than the movies ever had, what an amazing accomplishment. By far one of my favorite games though I can never seem to beat it, after about 80% through the game feels to overstay its welcome just a little too long.... for me anyway.
This was a nice addition to the Alien Franchise, it’s the opposite of Aliens’ story, it’s a Daughter looking for her mother this time. (I think I said a few things wrong.)
So funny story. I ruined this game for me and my brother. My brother played this to challenge himself and of course he wanted me to try this game out. Play it on a hard difficulty because... "we died like men" Anyway, there was this one part where there's two floor vents connected one the first floor and a ladder going up to the second floor above you. I accidentally freaked out and summon the Alien. But I somehow was able to perfectly time going into the floor vent and getting out of it at the same time as the Alien was following me. I DID THIS TWICE. Then the game killed me... I laughed so hard, I tried again and again. To the point my brother came into my room wondering what I was doing and saw me summoning alien and basically fucking around. Shooting flares, throwing mollies at myself, basically dying in dumb ways. I lost track of the story.
Here's the story: Amanda's mother, Ellen Ripley, receives signals from a mysterious planet and goes to investigate. She encounters dangerous aliens but manages to escape and is rescued by a team. Later, at Gateway Station near Earth, she warns against using the aliens for biological warfare, but her pleas are ignored. She ends up in jail and eventually sacrifices herself on Fiora 161. Fifteen years later, Amanda becomes curious about her mother's fate and investigates. She discovers experiments conducted by a crew, leading to encounters with the aliens. After the events of 'Alien: Isolation,' Amanda's fate remains uncertain. In a deleted scene from the movie, there's a discussion about Amanda's mother, Ellen Ripley, with mention of her dying at 66. Additionally, a clone of Ellen Ripley is made, which later learns about Amanda's fate. The clone discovers that her daughter, Amanda, died at the age of 66 with no children. This suggests that the bright blue light seen at the end of 'Alien: Isolation' could be a rescue mission, and Amanda Ripley survived. This information is detailed in the director's cut of the 'Alien' movie, which can be found on RUclips
In Aliens 3, it stated a face hugger snuck into the ship when she escaped with Newt and Bishop and marine boy. When she crashed on the prison planet, her pod was already broken into and she was impregnated by the face hugger.
Hey Harry, was your gameplay footage recorded on PC? Just finished my second playthrough ever since its release year and I’ve cranked the all the graphics settings to max and got a constant 120fps, yet I couldn’t get the same graphics quality as your footage, as mine seems to have a more grainy texture and less color contrast. Great video by the way :)
Just finished this after almost 10 years! Just wanted to watch a video that wraps everything up! Thank you very much! P.S. Ripley is a fucking fighter!
Oh we’re early early this morning. Couldn’t sleep anyways! Thanks for posting now, I’ve got something good to watch while I toss and turn sleep deprived. 😂 thanks for another video Harry! 🎉
Thank you for making this video because i never watched the films myself so alot of the story was confusing. But now i have a nice ending after finishing the game and watching this video.
Yeah it was predictable the alien would show up at the end but the end still surprised me cause i thought it would happen on the rescue ship with one final mission to eject the alien out of it. Enjoyed the game quite a bit except the fact i lost orientation quite a few times or straight up did not know where to go so i had to browse a bit to find the damn went or door to go.
I bought this game because everyone said it was so good. Im a few missions in and I kinda never wanna play it again. Not because its “terrifying” as some would say, but its literally not scary at all. The droids aren’t even good in the story and have are so annoying. The “atmosphere” that everyone says is soooo cool is literally not….. everything seems the same. Its a confusing maze with no help to get to where you need to go at all in the game. Such a confusing letdown of $30.
Each to their own I guess. It's a slow burner for the first couple of hours but then it kicks off and it gets incredible. You'll only really get to enjoy it fully if you watched the films before hand, because it's such a faithful recreation in terms of how everything looks and sounds. Exactly like the movies. That's the atmosphere people refer to. Also, you say you aren't scared, but just wait until you're hiding from the Alien in a vent, only to realise it's crawling up behind you inside the vent. You'll see...
Great explanation - thank you Maybe ... Engineers discovered that the Xenos were too powerful so they created Predators to control them. Predators are cool with the humans at first being worshipped but also hunt them for sport when Xenos are not available. Disney owns all of it so who knows what they will do
In the timeline, is this before or after the events of Alien: Out of the Shadows when Ellen Ripley wakes up the first time? Since that novel also is set between Alien and Aliens, I'm not sure which happens first chronologically.
Isolation takes place in the Sevastopol, a space station similar to the Nostromo ship model. Think of these space stations like a car series lol. It's only in the DLC that you explore the original Nostromo.
They find the black box of the ship Not the ship itself. A black box is something that holds information and placed on a placed that would make it unlikely to be destroyed, so that in worst case scenario, at least some information about what happened continues to exist. This isn't a alien concept, its a general scifi concept.
I don’t know. Yes, Alien Resurrection was the weakest of the films, but you can definitely see the germinating ideas Whedon was playing with that ended up blossoming with Firefly and Serenity.
6:57 no it doesn't. the creators of the game used only the canon where there is no queen. it was invented by James Cameron and his Alien movie is fanfiction at best.
so... David created the xenomorphs? because i keep reading that this was not the case. yet here, David is told to have created the facehuggers and the first xeno. where is David? i wanna have a chat with him xd
Ahh Hey I Guess This Is Not Canon Or Anything but There's a Game On Mobile (maybe on pc too) Wich Name is Alien:Blackout and There U Play as A. Ripley too and She Mentions Sevastopol station.. And She Tells The Survivors that She "got Pulled Out of a Bad Situation and Brought Me Here".
I still lose sleep over how IGN thought this game was a 5.9/10 and Fortnite got a 9.6. They should just stick to playing FPS games that are on the bandwagon. Their stupidity is honestly a lot more horrifying than the game lmao.
Yeah that’s IGN in a nutshell. Regularly overlooking games with great storylines but favouring ones with ‘rEPlAy vALuE’. Probably too challenging for them
If we consider Isolation to be a part of the Alien canon universe, then we now gotta question if Amanda actually died of old age. Consider that it's Burke giving Ripley this information. That man would lie to his own mother if it meant he could keep a xenomorph all to himself... e_e

Ignore the prequels. It's easier that way.
like zig said, only take the first two films into account

Excellent and concise history great job.
Thanks!
Why are you so underrated
Yeah it was predictable the alien would show up at the end but the end still surprised me cause i thought it would happen on the rescue ship with one final mission to eject the alien out of it. Enjoyed the game quite a bit except the fact i lost orientation quite a few times or straight up did not know where to go so i had to browse a bit to find the damn went or door to go.
People really should watch prometheus and alien covenant
Probably one of the best horror games of all time!
This and Dead Space.
I bought this game because everyone said it was so good. Im a few missions in and I kinda never wanna play it again. Not because its “terrifying” as some would say, but its literally not scary at all. The droids aren’t even good in the story and have are so annoying. The “atmosphere” that everyone says is soooo cool is literally not….. everything seems the same. Its a confusing maze with no help to get to where you need to go at all in the game. Such a confusing letdown of $30.
Each to their own I guess. It's a slow burner for the first couple of hours but then it kicks off and it gets incredible. You'll only really get to enjoy it fully if you watched the films before hand, because it's such a faithful recreation in terms of how everything looks and sounds. Exactly like the movies. That's the atmosphere people refer to. Also, you say you aren't scared, but just wait until you're hiding from the Alien in a vent, only to realise it's crawling up behind you inside the vent. You'll see...
We should definitely get a movie adaptation for this.
That's not the first facehugger and that's not a xenomorph. The eggs already existed before david
I like to think the black goo comes from face huggers.
Excellent background information GREAT WORK 👍🏿👏🏿👍🏿👏🏿👍🏿👏🏿.
Brother this was perfect!
Thanks my man!
Isolation explanation ends at 5:12
Actually most of the intro is wrong, Alien lore is much different that the deacon being a "Xenomorph"....
One of my favorite horror games of all time !
Great explanation - thank you
Maybe ... Engineers discovered that the Xenos were too powerful so they created Predators to control them. Predators are cool with the humans at first being worshipped but also hunt them for sport when Xenos are not available. Disney owns all of it so who knows what they will do
Predators have thier own orgin story read the comics they are great
Your channel is awesome!
In the timeline, is this before or after the events of Alien: Out of the Shadows when Ellen Ripley wakes up the first time? Since that novel also is set between Alien and Aliens, I'm not sure which happens first chronologically.
In d time line AOOTS comes 22 yrs later AI n 20 yrs b4 Ripley (mother) shuttle Narcissus been found in 2179 where Aliens begins.
Knowing weyland-yutani, they probably gave her cancer just out of spite for ruining their chance at servastapole
Wait, didn’t the Nostromo get destroyed in Alien? So why is it in Alien: Isolation
You get to replay the events of alien as a DLC
Isolation takes place in the Sevastopol, a space station similar to the Nostromo ship model. Think of these space stations like a car series lol. It's only in the DLC that you explore the original Nostromo.
They find the black box of the ship
Not the ship itself.
A black box is something that holds information and placed on a placed that would make it unlikely to be destroyed, so that in worst case scenario, at least some information about what happened continues to exist. This isn't a alien concept, its a general scifi concept.
hell yeah, I love aliens content!
Idk why I laughed as hard as I did when you said, " kinda like the umbrella Corp. But in space"
It took 15 min to explain the story.
It took 15 hours to finish the game.
One of my favorite video games of all time
I don’t know. Yes, Alien Resurrection was the weakest of the films, but you can definitely see the germinating ideas Whedon was playing with that ended up blossoming with Firefly and Serenity.
I've never found aliens very scary, but this game is dope
What an amazing episode! Thank you ;D
One thing that puzzles me is how the androids got into the Marshal's bureau if the door was locked?
They’re controlled by APOLLO so they can access pretty much everything
@@GamingHarryYT except of lockers
You didn't explain how a queen arrived on the station.
6:57 no it doesn't. the creators of the game used only the canon where there is no queen. it was invented by James Cameron and his Alien movie is fanfiction at best.
Great vid! Subscribed!
The Xenomorph in Prometheus can't be apart of the original Xenomorph within universe as they existed before the events in AVP
so... David created the xenomorphs? because i keep reading that this was not the case. yet here, David is told to have created the facehuggers and the first xeno. where is David? i wanna have a chat with him xd
a drone becomes a queen when it is alone
i love this, ive played all level, from easy to hell mode... 1 thing i don't like is the ending. could've been better
In the Aliens that seans where Ripple reads about her daughter Amanda, that part was a deleted seans so in theory that part never had happened?
Ricardo was subdued by a facehugger, forcing Ripley to abandon him on the station.
I think it's only young folks that didn't like Alien Resurrection. That was a good movie at the time it came out.
Fantastic explanation!
"I promised her I'd be home for her birthday.....her 11th birthday" Ellen Ripley
Ahh Hey I Guess This Is Not Canon Or Anything but There's a Game On Mobile (maybe on pc too) Wich Name is Alien:Blackout and There U Play as A. Ripley too and She Mentions Sevastopol station.. And She Tells The Survivors that She "got Pulled Out of a Bad Situation and Brought Me Here".
3:23 how did 1 xenomorph lay eggs I thought a queen only lay eggs?
In a deleted scene from Alien, it is shown that the Xenomorph harvests it's victims and they undergo a process of "eggification".
Can you do the entire series of five night at freddys story explain ?
I still lose sleep over how IGN thought this game was a 5.9/10 and Fortnite got a 9.6. They should just stick to playing FPS games that are on the bandwagon. Their stupidity is honestly a lot more horrifying than the game lmao.
Yeah that’s IGN in a nutshell. Regularly overlooking games with great storylines but favouring ones with ‘rEPlAy vALuE’. Probably too challenging for them
One of the GREATEST and scariest games' ever created.
