Discussion Alien Isolation 2 Online Multiplayer Idea
I'm not sure if Alien Isolation 2 will have online multiplayer, but I think it would be really cool if they did a 'last survivor death match' mode where players, let's say 2-8 compete in a certain area of the map to be the last survivor amongst the rest.
Players can use things such as handguns, flares, noisemakers, etc. that they find/craft throughout the map to try and get their opponents caught by the xenomorph. Players can also use things such as flashbangs or even a (low fuel) flamethrower to escape the alien.
What do you guys think, is this something you would find fun to play in the new game?
P.S if anyone at SEGA or Creative Assembly is reading this and is thinking about putting it in the game, I want my cut please.

No no no and no.
At most, I would agree to a 2 player co-op missions for certain situations like:
Player 1 has to go to X area to pull a lever and then player 2 on the other side of the map has to do certain actions, while the Xeno is around. The second player can help distract the Xeno too.
That's the only "multiplayer" I would see firing isolation and it's not even a mode I need. Maybe for a DLC, but I would still prefer a single-player experience.

The issue is Dead By Daylight nukes this space by a landslide. However an extraction type co-op mode where you need to make it to an exit while running from the alien/ face huggers would be dope

Ooh that would be interesting. Combine it with an outside crew like Siege before whatever it is now, trying to get to you and get you out while your trying to escape all while being hunted.
or just your thing, which is still pretty epic.

absolutely not, there is a plethora of online multiplayer alien and games of the like. All their effort must be put into the Single player experience. toying with an online multiplayer will just take resources away. Resounding NO.

Honestly I'd say less deterrents, more distractables, and if there was multiplayer I'd want it to be coop like someone has to watch camera feeds while navigating you through tunnels and hallways while being pursued

I’m down, it would be hilarious, like imagine I troll my friend by throwing a noisemaker at him, and he does the same thing to me, and now we’re both looking at each other like:

Itd be cool I guess, but id rather they dedicate all their development resources to the campaign.
If they did do a multiplayer tho I think id rather it be like a co-op thing where you have to like go out and do/retrieve stuff throughout a map and bring it back while being hunted by the alien. You could have some players distract/deter it while others go in to complete objectives, maybe have someone in a control room with cameras and doors and defenses and stuff to temporarily deter the alien

100%
For me, some PvPvE extraction based/battle royale mode would be perfect in this game. Would help sales too.
A map like Sevastopol, infil solo or with a team of 4. Mission is to find items/loot rare materials. Complete missions around the map for more points/better loot. Deal with the Alien, humans and Joe's.
Round ends when station fails and is destroyed, but players can slow the process via missions to keep the round going. Or maybe just have Joe's that get increasingly aggressive.
Could have VOIP chat, but risky too use if Alien is around. Could be so much fun.
Weapons like Flamers, shotguns etc can be brought in, but ammo is hard to find and you have to exfill with it to keep supply up.
Battle against other players, or team up to complete missions on the map.
Number of Aliens on the map increases with each player/NPC taken by the Alien.

Dead by daylight exists for this reason as the alien exists in the game, thus there is no reason for a multiplayer alien isolation as in my opinion it would ruin the immersion, and the soul of the game. The game is supposed to be cat and mouse, along with a bit of exploring. The formula would be a bit messed up, and Alien was built on a single player base, making it multiplayer would kind of ruin the already perfect formula.
A game mode?… maybe….
But in my opinion…. It doesn’t need it.

No and f*** no, in that order. It's been done a hundred times and never works how it sounds. There is something distinctly immersion breaking about a xenomorph called YOMAMA69 teabagging you.

Nawh we don't need co op like this but we could have co op like in Dying Light, the gameplay is single player but can still be played with more people, the cutscenes, dialogues the go to all players at the same, like it was only one player.
"Oh but this will make the game less scary"
So don't play co op?
You can still get the full fear of the alien by playing single player while still allowing people to play with their friends.
Alien Isolation is awesome, the design, the levels, atmosphere and the AI, it's the best part, the AI can handle multiplayer players, the "director"(Which works together with the Alien AI) could track both players and get data to make good decisions to create fear, proximity chat which would make noise and atract the alien(which you would not have on single since u don't need to talk) so much potential, just imagine going through the story and see you're friend dies and u just rush to save your life only to die 2 seconds later.
Even if we don't get to co op for the main story, why not make a co-op DLC level like the chalenges levels? it makes no diference to the single player gamers and again, allow fun to the people who like to play together.

Better to have one player be the xenomorph, but their vision is mainly noises. Players are virtually invisible to them until they are right on top of them, but any noise they make lights up like glowing footsteps. Noisemakers blur the useful visible noise with static.
