Edit: The title of this post makes it sound like Kotaku writer Jason Schreier is, in fact, the daughter of the main character in the Alien franchise. This was not intentional. I'm giggling like an idiot at the idea of playing as Jason Schreier, daughter of Ripley. Whose name I misspelt in the title.

Perhaps most importantly, our source says that Sega took the critical reception to Aliens: Colonial Marines very seriously, and that the publisher put together a postmortem following the near-unanimously negative reactions to their last Aliens game, which was developed by the studios Gearbox and TimeGate.

You, as Amanda, spend most if not all of the game on a single space station, according to our source. There's only one alien for "most" of the game, our source said; you'll mostly be shooting through "clones and soldiers." Vents, lockers, and melee weapons are a big part of Isolation, our source said, and the game is heavily inspired by the first Alien movie.
