News: Sega releases another trailer for Alien: Isolation with the new “Lo-Fi Sci-Fi” Trailer to show off more of this anticipated game.

Alien: Isolation is coming out later this year and Sega has just released a new trailer to show off some more of this anticipated game. To stay faithful to the original source, Alien: Isolation takes a retro look to the future with a design aesthetic which developer Creative Assembly describes as “lo-fi sci-fi.” It’s clunky, it’s chunky, it’s push-button and analog. There are no phasers or lasers, and the smartest weapons you find may be tied together with duct tape and string. A world very much of CRT not LCD, Alien: Isolation may be set in the future but it’s very much baked in the past.

“This isn’t a world of holograms and touchscreens; there’s no sense here that technology is going to save you.” – Alistair Hope, Creative Lead.

Alien: Isolation is a first-person survival horror game capturing the fear and tension evoked by Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic film. Players find themselves in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger as an unpredictable, ruthless Xenomorph is stalking and killing deep in the shadows. Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.

Alien: Isolation will be available on October 7 for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Take a look at the trailer below and tell us what you think. Are you excited for Alien: Isolation?
