Alien: Online, multiplayer, please??

[TYM]

I really wish that they could make an online multiplayer DLC of Alien Isolation, where someone plays the Alien and the others try to survive and complete some tasks before the Alien kills them all, similar to how Among Us works (but here it's not a secret who the Alien is).

The Alien AI in Alien: Isolation is really smart, but an actual human playing the Alien would be smarter!

It would also be nice if it was possible to talk to the other players if they're close enough, like the "proximity chat" mod to Among Us, with the risk of the Alien hearing it.

What do you think about it? And if you agree this would be the greatest horror-multiplayer-game ever, how could we make it happen? :D

Sounds pretty fun, I'd be up for that.

Another fun muliplayer idea could be that the xenomorph remains AI, but the players are individual humans on the map. You can each find scanners, hacking tools etc around the maps and get given random objectives. The winners/losers are decided upon who finishes most tasks/dies last or survives and who finishes the least tasks/who dies first. It could bring some interesting tactics. Like, do the humans work together, or do they try to trip each other up by say making a noise and letting the other players get torn apart

Great! How do we make SEGA make it? :D

Yeah that could also be nice! Maybe "Alien: Online" could allow the setting "player-controlled Alien" on and off? :)

Debatable.

haha are you referring to the risk of the Alien being OP? Well I thought, to compensate for its possibly enormous intelligence, the senses could be limited. Like, the Alien only being able to see what's straight forward (within its visual cone), just like the Alien in the game :)

Edited the post for more clarity.

You understand the best here. Everyone thinks like Waites, that the alien is a dumb animal.

Oh no, I want it to be intelligent, that makes it a larger challenge! Which is why I'd like a human to control it, as humans are quite intelligent!

Why did you partially quote me, to make it sound like I was saying the alien was not intelligent?

Just wait until the Alien Player decides to make friends with the humans...

Um, I don't think I am; it sounds like you're saying "Everyone thinks like Waits [but they're wrong]" :)

Playing as the Alien, that would be a nice experience :D

Here's the full quote. How about you stop twisting my words around?

Everyone thinks like Waites, that the alien is a dumb animal. But we know from the film Aliens that they are organized: "They shut off the power? What do you mean they shut off the power? They're animals, man!"

For the closing chapters of Alien Isolation, there's an argument supporting the idea that the aliens were shepherding Amanda (or anyone smart like her) into helping them get off a doomed station.

Regardless, for the previous pvp-style games I listed, those are well-thought-out and balanced multiplayer games, which you all can play whilst waiting for a response from Sega. I thought we *already* had decent AvP type games, so not sure why there is discussion, especially when the OP doesn't own the game.

haha are you serious? I'm not twisting your words around, I was simply only keeping the part I wanted to answer. I'm not claiming that you think the Alien is dumb, nor was the quote I picked making it look like you were claiming that (quite the opposite), so this is completely unnecessary.

The old AvP game had marine, predator, or alien as your choices. It was multi-player death match, etc.

There were multiple AvP games like that AvP 2 and the newer one were some of the most fun I've had in an online Multiplayer game.

You want apples from a 8 years old game, really?

No, troll was obvious troll.

unfortunately this is a financially failed game, so no sequels. The only thing that SEGA could do but wont do because they are greedy corporate overlords is to release a source code for the game, this will allow people to properly mod it, and with mods...the sky is the limit.

A good suggestion. ，but unfortunately, game developers probably won't launch a new DLC for this game.
