Alien: Isolation was one of the best PlayStation 4 games of 2014 and, to this day, still deserves a sequel. That's unlikely to ever happen at this point, but fans can still revel in the special experience we got six years ago. And thanks to Noclip, run by Danny O'Dwyer, the team at Creative Assembly has revealed what development of the title was like. You can check it all out in the 20-minute documentary above.
The video touches on how the title was presented to SEGA, what sort of impact the dreadful Aliens: Colonial Marines had on marketing, and a glimpse at third-person gameplay. That last one is certainly a first, given the game shipped with a first-person camera. It's a really interesting watch that fans of the game and wider series will surely get a kick out of β ourselves included. What did you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

This game is absolutely terrifying. Best survival horror game I have ever played!
I'm currently playing this game for the first time right now and loving every second of it.
Shame never came to PSVR, would have been even more amazing (and scary).
Danny O'dwyr was by far the best guy at gamespot
Best horror this generation
For a moment there I thought there was news on a patch or upgrade or sequel and man was that a wonderful moment. I guess a documentary will do.
If this came to VR Iβd be scared to put the thing on againππππ imagine turning round and mr ALIEN just standing there haha π
I swear I will play this game one day. ONE DAY.
NoClip must be the most important game channel there is in my opinion, really well produced documentaries which give a real insight into the industry. Love Danny O'Dwyer and what he is doing at NoClip, I was always disappointed when he didn't move to GiantBomb, but it turns out NoClip was the right call, I hope he is making a good living from it.
I like it a lot, but like most horror games I can only play in short bursts before I start feeling stressed out. As a big Alien franchise fan, though, I couldn't have asked for much more.
One of my favorite games of all time. Bought it physically and digitally on PS4, plus digitally on Switch. Playing it handheld on Switch with good headphones is AMAZING!!

I have restarted the game 4 or 5 times over the years and always stop, it just scares the bejesus out of me.
Best horror and survival ever. And I'd pay some β¬ to play it again on PS5 with ray tracing, improved 3D models and a smart use of the DualSense!
Itβs like they made the game in every Alien fans head. Sounds simple but whether itβs films, games, sequels or reboots the people in charge so often completely miss the point.
I died so many times playing this and was about to give up when I realized the ***** could hear me through the camera...π good times
Game was very fun and not scary!....seriously it's hard for me to get scared
I never completed that game. It was too stressful. A:CM is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Thank you, based god, Danny o Dywer
Played it in the middle of the night with the lights off, got terrified and gave up. Will go back to it maybe one day, and play it in the middle of the day!
Great documentary.
This is up there with Goldeneye & Arkham as one the best licensed games ever. The atmosphere is incredible & the gameplay tense, yet fun & rewarding. I'd love to play a sequel on PS5.
This game was my first PS4 plat. I played it religiously. Totally underrated gem. Far from perfect as it did drag a bit in the middle with the androids after a certain point but still a master class survival horror.
