Alien: Isolation is considered one of the best aliens games to date. However, did you know that The Creative Assembly was experimenting with a third-person perspective prior to the game’s release? At this year’s GDC, The Creative Assembly presented a video, showing the game in third-person mode. During development, however, The Creative Assembly decided to abandon this mode in favour of a first-person perspective. Enjoy the video after the jump!

This is still in first person,Whats with the title?
edit : for some reason wrong video was played its ok now
I wish they kept the option for TP.
I’m glad they went with first-person. I hope they saw that VR was going to become popular so they decided to go first-person in order to accommodate the new tech.
I don’t care if it takes a few years – Alien Isolation will still look gorgeous years from now!
Right decision
This is definitely less scary. I’m happy they went with FP camera.
As much as I love the first person view, how nice would have been if they give the people who doesn’t like the option? You know, that’s what means to appeal to a wider audience IMO, options, choice (I know that A:I appeals to a niche, but still).
And yes, I’ve found this way less scary, way less atmospheric, but ultimately, different people, different approaches, same game. 🙂
