Alien: Blackout is a mobile game.

Please, dislike this video, it shouldn't take more than a minute. This trash was teased as if it was going to be a sequel to Alien: Isolation and it ended up being a mobile game. Not only that, but it's a cheap copy of Five Nights at Freddy's, so it's not even a good mobile game. After 5 years of waiting for a sequel to Alien: Isolation, we get this instead.

25 years too late to be making that choice

I don't get it. No one asked for this. Especially after the whole Diablo debakel, who in the decision making/approval department (whatever the hiarchy) thought 'Yes this is brilliant and exactly what everyone's been waiting for".
Even best intentions assumed and the devs doing a great job, a mobile sceen simply can't be as immersive as a big PC screen, aside from the sound (given how the sound was such a huge component of what made Alien Isolation so amazing) which simply doesn't quite give you a Dolby 7.1 on a smartphone.

Companies that own these IPs have been wanting to get into the mobile market for a while, it's no coincidence they're sort of all happening at once. 'We' as consumers have only proven that 'we' are stupid enough to pay hundreds in cash for something as monotonous as skins, and lives in trashy games like Candy Crush and hundreds of their rip offs.

By the time the Diablo backlash happened, this game will have already been through a decent amount of preparation. Besides, it doesn't matter if no one asked for it. The development will have been cheap, the potential for these cash grab MT games is pretty much a no-lose situation. IP holders don't really care about backlash either, as it will soon be forgotten. Just like the makers of Diablo will eventually win over people with the eventual release of Diablo 4, I'm sure there's something else coming in the Alien universe, even if it isn't Isolation 2.

There are good games on mobile, like Dead Trigger 2 and Shadowgun Legends which actually rival some console games that came out the last decade, not to mention some absolutely free ones like Critical Ops that is basically CSGO for mobile. It's the other 99.9% of games on the app stores that give mobile gaming a bad name.

As I said Fox could have made a good Alien game for mobile but they decided to go the easy route instead...

Btw...

This is the worst news.

All I can hope for is that this mobile piece of crap is used to generate interest for a true sequel that's already in development.

I did my part

[Dr. Valgarr]

This can make a grown man cry.
I hoped by tomorrow that this is only a meme by the devs and an actual game would be showcased... But it's already tomorrow and it isn't, ALIEN: Blackout is a mobile game that bares the 'ALIEN' name.

[Flammenwaffler]

isolation is really close to a mobile experience though.

Do you guys not have phones?!

Funny thing is I have like 60 hours in Dead Trigger 2, around 40 in Unkilled, 15 in Guns of Boom and only 8 I think in Shadowgun Legends... Sooo I spend quite a lot of time on mobile games, having tried hundreds, and I won't mind a good Alien game to enjoy while on the bus but hyping it like it'll be a proper full PC game is just dumb...

It’s cool to have a mobile game but everyone was expecting a triple AAA sequel to Isolation not the fnaf copy

[Shakes]

They even re-used assets from AI, downscaled for phones. Such a lazy, moneygrubbing travesty of the franchise. Nobody asked for Five Nights at Sevastopol.

Hopefully the MMO is passable, if it actually ever gets released, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Leyba]

we don't need antoher MMO! WE HAVE PLENTY!

[Arawuusmies]

Damn it. I got really disappointed to hear it's a mobile game. Was really looking forward to it before that.

Heh, you're not wrong, although I suspect the current owners could do even worse.

"Bought out by Walmart", a line cringier than David Brent on a bad day, actually became prophetic.

Anyway looking at Alien Blackout and what it says about the underlying values, I think we could learn something from the films interms of wanting a desktop sequel: be careful what you wish for.

If the films teach us anything, it is that the potential for sequels to get progressively more horrendous is almost without limit.
