Alien isolation first 20 min (pewdewpie warning!)

Is it just me or does that arm seem kind of odd looking? Almost like it has a cartoonish aesthetic.

Jesus not pewdiepie!, of all the annoying tossers to do a first look......cant stand the guy and dont know why his so popular!. The first time I saw him I fought he had some sort of disability........and then I realised he did, his a fucking knobhead

Other than him spoiling the video the game still looks awesome, will buy.
 
Am i wrong in saying that this game has the best maybe most believable set piece ever in videogames? I mean i watch these videos and everything is literally almost tricking my brain into thinking that this is not some video game, it is amazing.


EDIT: I am chomping at the bit to get an Oculus Rift when they finally release a consumer version and i would be deathly afraid to play this game with one, i might have a heart attack.
 
To anybody who thinks it looks odd -
Pewdiepie seems to be using a 21:9 monitor and forgot to compensate for that when rendering the video. The cutscenes look fine because they're probably pre-rendered and 16:9.
 
The only thing more annoying than Pewdiepie himself is people constantly complaining about him. The warning is in the thread title.

Is it me, or is talk animation straight from early 2000s? It's all over the place, like it's out of sync compared to when you hear VO. Sometimes models open their mouths too early, or keep talking, even though they finished the line.

Thank you PDP. I want to remain on blackout and this coverage is easy to avoid as I value my ears too much.

Glad to have him cover the title though, if he's positive I guess it should help sales (what a world we live in etc etc).
 
Disappointing there's no footage of the alien. That's my primary concern at the moment, how the AI functions and reacts to the player and if it's as bad as some previews have suggested.
 
I'm not sure why PewDiePie gets such hate. I'm not a fan or anything but there are some youtube personalities who get love here (*coughbestfriendscough*) who are way more annoying.
 
Go here to buy some official PewDiePie™ merchandise!

Watched a bit of that video, but can't stand that guy. It just boggles my mind how people can make money off YouTube just by playing games. GET A JOB, YOU BUMS.

But seriously, the game will be a day one purchase for sure. I'll be streaming it in the dark.

Why would anyone get a "real job" when they make millions "doing basically no work"?
Except for boredom maybe.

Can't stand the guy's videos but can't fault him for taking that money doing his thing. I know I would.

Why is there a person in the top left, and how do I mute him?

It's basically all interactive intro'n'exposition. Omg it's the future! No gameplay at all.

What the hell has he done to the video image and sound sync.

Having placed this on console the other day this video is not indicative I what I played and saw

outside the aliasing which is strong with this one

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to play video games for a living and get paid to do it. Hell, it's really not out of the question, I'm pretty good at CoD.. always wanted to join a tournament.

But the fact of the matter is this ... Video games are just hobbies. What happens when he can no longer make money on YouTube and is forced to get an actual job? Is he going to hand out a resume that says "Youtube personality" under past work experience? I just don't see how this "job" can contribute anything to society by playing video games and posting the videos online.

"I'm loving this so far."

All you've done is look around the first room that only has stasis pods...

Pewdiepie's channel has earned millions of dollars. As long as he doesn't blow it like an idiot, he could quit today and live out his life in luxury.

I'm not a fan of his work, but I expect getting an "actual job" would be the least of his worries.

I mean that was the first video I had ever seen from PewDewPie and by the reactions in this thread I was expecting something horrible and obnoxious

But it really.. wasn't?

But whatever. Game looked interesting. Kinda bummed he cut it off right when things were getting good

This guy makes something like 4 million dollars a year.

I really want this game to be good. Still on the fence on pre ordering the game, that Nostromo extra content sounds so good. But I'm hesitant, because of colonial marines...
 
There's plenty of you tube lets players I like. *Waves to Jack* PPD isn't one of them though.

On topic. Nice atmosphere for the game. Looking forward to playing it.
