Also for anyone wondering, OPM noted there is "no fire button" in the game. Some horror purists might like the sound of that.
Maybe, it's just what I read in the new OPM issue...I read in the Edge preview that this isn't quite true. There are guns in the game but they're scarce. The CA guy said 'think TLoU rather than CoD'.

god I am going to shit so many bricks hiding from that thing.
Here's exactly what the Edge preview says re. weapons:
"And that's to say that, yes, Alien: Isolation has a fire button, so yes, there are guns in the game, but you won't be shooting often. Ammunition is limited to a handful of rounds at a time - The Last of Us not Call of Duty, says Hope - and while gunfire might be useful against the inevitable homicidal humans or those Working Joes, the alien shrugs off anything you throw at it."
It notes that in the demo shown to press, the motion tracker is the only tool available to the player - maybe that's where some of the press claims about no guns come from.
Interesting, thanks. I'm rereading the OPM section on the game and they re-iterated twice "there's no fire button". Some fact checking needs to be done before these go to print, *sigh*.Here's exactly what the Edge preview says re. weapons:

lol me too
Perfect. I love the sound of this.and while gunfire might be useful against the inevitable homicidal humans or those Working Joes, the alien shrugs off anything you throw at it."
Rogue androids, clearly.That's weird. If the Xenomorph is the only alien in the game, who else will we shoot at? Marines?

No KY Jelly no sale.
I'm guessing there are survivors. And also there are synthetic workers on the station, and I guess not all have been destroyed by the Alien. So like Edge says, there might be scope for encounters with off-kilter humans/synthetics. But maybe few and far between.
It sounds a lot like Amnesia: Space Edition which I have no problem with whatsoever, it sounds incredible. If Gearbox can get this right, they could have a massive hit on their hands. I'm hoping for an atmosphere along the lines of Dead Space v Amnesia. I could do with a new horror game that will require the purchase of new underwear."And that's to say that, yes, Alien: Isolation has a fire button, so yes, there are guns in the game, but you won't be shooting often.

i understood this reference!!
hmm, looks freaking great to me. i kinda wish they hadn't shown the alien at all before release though. even if we all already know what it looks like.
If these two assumptions are correct;
1) It uses the non-revised 'Alien' timeline, of the movie being set in 2079.
2) The calendar is current.
Then the calendar depicted is inaccurate!

That's cool! I liked the first movie the best, didn't like the others.
With graphics that amazing (if these are real, that is, and not complete bullshots) then the gameplay has to suck, right? I mean, they can't give their 100% to both graphics and gameplay at the same time so one of them has to be sacrificed and by the looks of things, the graphics are winning. Regardless, even if the gameplay isn't up to scratch, I'll still play because, I can't lie, I love me some pretty eye candy.

Edit: the calendar is most likely "last year's" calendar, which makes it June 2093, which does match up to the screenshot.
Edit2: There are actually two month's depicted on that calendar at the same time, so it makes no sense at all.
Bomba.
I'm not sure my heart could take playing this game on the latest dev build of Occulus Rift.

People really need to stop getting so hyped for these games. They always end up disappointed.
I........Oculus Rift.....it would be glorious.....
Just checked the gameplay video on Youtube and, good God, it looks amazing. Looks like I might have to pre-order my copy on PS4. This game looks and sounds absolutely incredible.Gameplay video looked fine, and the hands on previews made it sound fine.
Not Gearbox. It's made by Creative Assembly.
Colonial Marines looked pretty good too.
Let us not forget.
Let us pray.
It looks a kinda dry for xeno, need more sweat.
Reeeeeally doing all I can to hold my expectations in place.
God damn that Alien IS big, though!
