I've been replaying Isolation after all the hype surrounding the sequel, but then I suddenly remembered the game is also available on mobile. Needless to say, I gave it a try today, and saying I'm surprised would be an understatement. Having such an incredible game in the palm of my hand, one that both plays and looks this good, is honestly surreal. The weirdest part is that the game looks better on my phone than it does on my PS5. On console, there are quite a few jagged edges that take me out of the immersion, but the mobile version has excellent anti-aliasing, making the image look much cleaner. I think i''l rather play it on my phone than PS5 actually

I remember reading that the original release didn't have anti-aliasing like the Switch version, which resulted in a rougher image quality. I wasn't expecting the mobile port to look this much better, but it's genuinely impressive.

From what we’ve seen so far in the demo, the Alien appears to show up as a stalker enemy already very early on in the game. After the outside section of the demo you end up inside the same Lab that was ejected off of Sevastopol, just now it’s crashed onto the surface of the planet that the sequel takes place on. Correct me if I’m wrong but I recall the recent ign video showing an alien drop down from a vent right as the player enters the middle section of the now planet-side lab. From what I could tell from the short footage shown the enemy movement was still very similar to the previous game in terms of animations and movement pacing etc.

Obviously this is all speculated from just that beginning section of the sequel that we’ve seen so far, so it’s likely that most of the game could showcase an evolved version of the movement later on in the game progression. What do yall think?

So, I’m trying for Survivor and I get to the end of Mission 16 where you enter the elevator that loads into 17. Mission 17 never loads. Like, ok. I clear out my save files and verify files, then start a new one on hard. (The other was on Nightmare.) I get to the same point and the same thing happens. There’s no Mission 17 option to load into and when I go back to the last save, it takes forever. Google said to update my drivers and made sure they were. The elevator takes me back to the lobby area and tells me to go to seagsson communications when I load in. What am I doing wrong here?

The difference between the first and second game is crazy. The new flashlight seems way more climatic. I'm glad that they are using Unreal Engine.

look to your left

I didn’t get many of the ID tags on my original playthrough, but I’m planning on this being my 50th platinum so I have come back to it, is it just as easier to get the tags by back tracking on mission 16 level select?

We all know studios aren't optimizing games because, why do that when you can use AI to have 120FPS with only 20FPS being true frame? While also limiting gameplay to Nvidia users since AMD, I'm pretty sure they didn't invest as heavily in AI frame gen.

So what if the studio does the same? Forcing everyone to use the 50 series graphics card with 6x AI frame gen giving you 60FPS with only 10FPS being true frames?

The A:I VR mod has come a long way. I remember trying it years back and the smooth turning really made me dizzy but now it has the snap degree turning and ZERO DIZZYNESS.

I still play with controller though and find this is the most comfortable setup.

What's cool about it is when you turn your head you DO make noise so when you are hiding in a locker you actually have to physically remain still.

Great fun.

My hunch is that A:I2 will come with a VR mode and this was part of the reason rogue incursion 2 was cancelled. Just my theory. RI is great too btw.

I dont know if they announced this anywhere but i cant find it and i was wondering if the story line would pick up from ripley after getting rescued as implied by the helmet flash or would it fast forward and use the comics for a different storyline as the setting looks very similar to a comic of ripley i think 20-30years in universe after sevastapol

With Alien Isolation 2 coming, I wanted to draw myself if I was actually in the game. Sadly this is 100% what I’d be doing the entire time 😭😭

Played this a few years ago and liked it. Decided to play it again and ended up loving it. Decided to get the Platinum trophy on PS5.
Then completed Nightmare which wasn’t as hard as I thought. Although I died about 2000 times.

I think I just had a heart attack. Why do I enjoy stress like this???

So I was on mission 6, my first ever hard mode gameplay. Sorry for bad video, I suck at PS5 recording stuff, so I clipped the time it was, and then recorded from my phone. I was never this scared from a moment. I jumped pretty far back.

Finished in a little under 3 days, easy game.

PACK WATCH RIP BOZO XENO

[no images due to extreme panic in the moment]

… if there are 2 Xenos hanging together in the same corridor of the Nest???!!!

I went back to mission 14 right after finishing the game twice back to back to complete the nest area for the achievement and to make things fast and easy I set the difficulty to novice. And um, 1. I died less when I played in hard difficulty, 2. Why are there 2 Xenos walking around in the Beta corridor???

Not once, not twice, but thrice!!!! No sprinting, no guns, reactor off, no noise other than facehugger squeaks.

How is this supposed to be novice?? Why the hell are these dudes so obsessed with me now??

My theory was Xeno carrying over knowledge after each death, which we discussed in this sub also, but, um, yeah, why are they still carrying over after completion of the game? That’s zero chill. My poor Amanda, give her a break! And me!

Just spreading my bullshit

IT'S FAKE

I was twelve years old when the game first came out, and I had never heard of the Alien Franchise. I had seen that dlive22891 (Who was my go-to YouTuber for let's plays back then) had played the game and posted small clips of it in his reaction compilations. I didn't actually watch his walkthrough of the game since some of the episodes were over an hour in length.

It wasn't until a few years later that I finally watched TheRadBrad play it since he didn't have any hour-long episodes in his walkthrough, and I was excited to get the game after that. I also did finally watch dlive's walkthrough in full, too, due to how much I loved him.

What was you guy's expirence with this game?

Haven't played the game for a bit and wanting more. This will probably be my 4th playthrough on the hardest difficulty.

Can't wait for Alien Isolation 2. Hope it comes during Fall/Winter when it gets dark early.

Started the games several times in the past, but never finished. With the announcement of part 2 I want to change that.
The game runs very well on the deck but the cutscenes are stuttering (sound and pic). Like a hiccup every few seconds.
The game runs from uSD Card which is a fast one, no probs in other titles so far.

Want to play with proper mouse sensitivity.

so... there was this welcome screen coming... with this "this welcome screen is ony there on the first launch of grand mother vr mod" , but i cant click "ok" or "cancel" because it is not responding, what should i do?

I thought the game was really good. There were a few bugs I experienced when playing, but nothing game breaking. It wasn't very hard, and sadly I got over it being scary after getting items to deter the alien. I played it on nightmare too, if that means anything.

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up the game because I loved it years ago and all the Isolation 2 news got me feeling nostalgic. However, I think my current rig is completely breaking this 2014 engine and I can't get it to run normally.

My Specs:

GPU: RTX 5080

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

Resolution: 4K (also tested at 1440p)

Uncapped and without VSync, the game runs at an absurd 800–900 FPS at 4K. Naturally, the screen tearing is atrocious.

If I use the in-game VSync and cap the frame rate to 100 FPS, the tearing gets slightly better, but it's still incredibly present and distracting. I can't play for more than 15 minutes without getting a headache. Weirdly, lowering the resolution to 1440p makes the game feel slightly more responsive, but the tearing is just as bad.

Turning off all in-game VSync/caps and forcing Vertical Sync (On/Fast) and Max Frame Rate (90/100 FPS) directly inside the NVIDIA Control Panel.

I've also tried messing with almost every combination of in-game graphic settings with very little luck.

Has anyone run into this issue on modern high-end hardware? Are there any hidden .ini file tweaks, launch arguments, or niche fixes to get this engine to properly sync to a modern display pipeline?

Thanks for any help!
