Turns out Sevastopol station has some serious structural problems. Oh hey, weirdly aggressive guy! I’ve got a ship outside, do you want to… no, OK, never mind.
There’s still an element of the uncanny valley about the models, but that’s something I expect will finally be ironed out in this decade. The cutscenes are pretty impressive for a six-year-old-game. Taylor and Samuels have disappeared into space. I’m off to explore Sevastopol station with the Brits.īarely got out of the Torrens’ airlock and started a space walk before debris pummeled us. Samuels and Taylor are plummy English types, the captain of the Torrens is American, obviously, and Andrea Deck - at the tender age of 20 - is doing a fine job with Ripley. Weyland-Yutani made things functional but rough around the edges (cost-cutting is probably why they became a ruthless megacorp in the first place) and that design is expertly recreated in Isolation. The Torrens is a rudimentary vessel with aesthetic nods to the 1979 film’s ship, but on a smaller scale. For all of the differences between the films (perhaps excluding Resurrection), they each did a decent job of grounding the story before things went nuts.
It’s damaged, and a radio communication has reported there’s been a serious incident.Īs intros go, the pitch is classic Alien. After Ripley wakes up on the transport ship Torrens, has a quick shower and meets the crew, Sevastopol station looms into view. The recording is on Sevastopol station, the last location that the Nostromo docked at. The Torrens, before everything went to hell.įifteen years after the events of the first film, Amanda Ripley has gone off with some Weyland-Yutani staff to retrieve the black box of the Nostromo, and hopefully find out what happened to her mother Ellen.
