Spot on.

I haven't thought about it this way, you are quite right. |
I really find it funny that people miss out on this detail. I can only assume some have not seen the first Alien movie. The main source of inspiration (the movie) is all about claustrophobic hallways ffs. Game is about claustrophobic hallways and yet so few people realize this? |
No no. The level design itself is very similar to Dead Space. I mean the parts where they had to fill the missing data which was not shown in the Alien movie. So, instead of making something unique, they made it look like Dead Space [unintentionaly I think], because in corporate world there is a lack of creativity. So the game looks like old school sci fi mixed with Dead Space's modern corridoors. It didnt mix for me very well. |

Alien encounter is all fun and games, until you're out of fire capable weapons (flamethrower, molotovs, etc).

The amount of what Alien: Isolation might or might not have "copied" from Dead Space is <<< the amoount of what Dead Space has "copied" from Alien. 
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."

I was disappointed when the Alien didn't kill them Joes.

In response to your requests, we’ve created Nightmare Mode, a new difficulty level, which should challenge players to beat the ultimate Alien: Isolation experience.
Explore the world of Sevastopol with a motion tracker featuring a damaged display and undependable information. Resources will be even more limited, the map systems have gone offline and fellow survivors and synthetics are even more deadly and aggressive.
In this heightened, terrifying atmosphere, our Alien will be hunting you like never before. With an upgraded AI that has amplified its fatal hostility, every step you take may be your last. Our monster is more adaptive, learning from your tactics with chilling speed and with intensified senses that will give you no second chances… |
Damn them, wish this was available for my virgin playhrough

Only permadeath is now missing from this glorious cocktail of new difficulty features.

Just started this from the beginning, I had played very little of it before I got distracted by other games anyway.
So I just crafted my first medkit and the game keeps telling me "Hold R to activate."
How does this annoying message go away since I don't plan to use my medkit?

I had that issue too, went away eventually or maybe I ended up using a medkit later on, don't quite remember but I guess the game expects you to be badly injured so you are meant to use it immediately.

I complied
And I am playing with a gamepad. I just didn't want to confuse humpers because if I say "X" they might understand the keyboard key "X" instead of the gamepad one.
Anyway I just met the Alien. The writing is a little disappointing (not bad, so far) and the game's cutscenes are straight out of a horror movie! You won't believe how horrific the "uncanny valley" phenomenon is in this game. Ripley's face.. Kill it with fire!!! Or alien acid! Whatever works best!

I'm still waiting for someone to invent a fully working Neuralyzer module usable after finishing the best games, so we can erase everything and re-enjoy them de novo. I would literally abuse it for this game, who knows when a horror game this good will see the light again 
Isolation 2 where are thou |

Is this the complete A: I content that's been put out by crackers so far?
 Spoiler: | Alien.Isolation.Update.4-FTS
Alien.Isolation.Update.3.Incl.DLC-FTS
Alien.Isolation.Corporate.Lockdown.DLC-CODEX
Alien.Isolation-CODEX (+ Alien.Isolation.DLC.Unlocker-CODEX) |
Which order should I install all of these in? Do FTS's updates work on CODEX's release? I don't see FTS ever having gotten out the main game, only the aforementioned updates.

Corporate Lockdown is just new challenge maps? Are they added in FTS' update 3? Their .nfo states that it includes the deluxe edition of the game. I presume CL is there as well?

Now something else. The team wants to make a sequel and they talk "daily" about it: http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/alien_isolation/news/alien_isolation_sequel_a_daily_topic_at_creative_assembly.html
| Quote: | "The plot for a sequel is a daily topic in the studio sometimes," Napper told AvPGalaxy. "People have their own ideas for where it should go, our writers have some solid concepts and yes, we do have a great opportunity to continue her story."
"I think the action oriented 'Aliens' style game is very different from what Isolation is," he continued. "If we made a sequel I would like to stick to the same terrifying single Alien approach but do more with the environment and interactivity within it." |
Truth be told I wouldn't want them to make more of the same. I'd like them to make a Terminator game instead.
