This means even just ONE infected or one egg has the possibility to takeover an entire facility, ship... planet.
I figured that's what happens but there were eggs all over the place towards the end of the game. The queens are huge so I'm not sure how they get around to lay all those eggs. I think they should have just kept the eggs in a centralized play (the derelict) and they should have had a queen down there laying them for the player to destroy but the face huggers could be all over the space station because they are small and quick and can get around. Having eggs all over the space station sort of killed the immersion for me since it seemed unbelievable. Would have been a great chance for the Dev team to have put a queen in the derelict area laying eggs and we could have destroyed her with the over-surge thing we did that released all those xenomorphs. Sort of like messing with a bee nest will cause all the bees to come out and very mad.
Also there WAS a Queen on Sevastopol, CA confirmed it a long while back, we just never got to see her, apparently she was one floor directly below us and we might have even been directly above her at one point. Hopefully Alien Iso 2 will let us see her.
But how? Sevastopol was completely destroyed in Alien Isolation. So how are they going to let us see the queen in part 2?
I sure don't want Alien Isolation 2 to be about Sevastopol prior to Amanda Ripley getting there. There's already a DLC in which you can play Axel, prior to Amanda Ripley coming onboard and that was enough.
Here's what I think would make for a good sequel...
I'd like to see Amanda being rescued by a Marine Corps search and rescue craft (just a small space craft) right where Alien Isolation left off with her eyes opening up to some sort of light.
The Marines get her onboard and she asks them how they managed to find her. They tell her that Val (captain of the Torrens) sent a distress signal and they responded but when they got to the Torrens nobody would answer the radio and they found it just drifiting in space. They tell Amanda they couldn't get onboard to check things out so they had a tow craft come and haul it back to their host mothership (a very large military space aircraft carrier) and that they were heading back to the carrier as well but were a few hours behind the tow craft.
Amanda begins to freak out and tells the Marines that they need to radio the tow craft and tell them to release the Torrens to drift in space and that it needed to be blown up. The Marines aren't sure why Amanda is freaking out so she explains to them that there's an alien lifeform onboard the Torrens that will spread if it gets to the carrier. The Marines radio to the tow craft but it's too late. The tow craft informs the Marine search and rescue craft that Amanda is on that they've already landed and the Torrens was about to be opened up and cargo extracted (in an unsuspecting joyful tone of voice). Then all hell breaks lose. On the radio you hear people screaming and then you hear pulse rifles being fired. (Apparently while Amanda was floating in space, the aliens had been breeding onboard the Torrens and lots of them rush onboard the carrier and start killing everybody onboard as soon as the Torrens is opened up.
Then the radio goes silent as the pilot of the Tow craft is killed by an alien. The Marines that Amanda is with now know that their carrier has been infected and attacked by this alien lifeform that Amanda warned them about. When they reach the carrier they don't land. They circle it and then the Captain from the carrier radios to them from the carrier bridge to inform them the carrier has been overrun by some sort of alien lifeform and that it's killing everyone. He tells the Marines (and Amanda) that they are their only hope of escape but that they are barricaded and can't esacpe from the bridge that they've locked down to prevent the aliens from getting in.
The Marines and Amanda establish a plan of a action onboard their much smaller search and rescue craft. The Marine in charge onboard the search and rescue craft doesn't want Amanda's help but he doens't know much about the aliens and how they operate while Amanda does becuase she's experienced. He sends a small squad of Marines onto the carrier to get inside to rescue the captain and anybody else they can manage to save. Amanda and the Marine in charge stay onboard the search and rescue craft and watch the head-mounted cameras of the Marine Corps squad that were sent in. The get inside the carrier and you watch them getting picked off one by one. Then the Marine in charge tells Amanda he needs her help and that she managed to survive this scourge on Svestopol and that she's the only one who knows how the aliens operate and how to defeat them. He tells Amanda they have to save the carrier because there's no help for many light years away and that they only have enough food and water on the search and rescue craft to last them another month at the most. He tells her that she has to go onboard and cleanse the carrier of the alien scourge and rescue anyone she can find. Amanda suits up in a Marine Corps outfit and is given a pulse rifle and some grendades and a motion tracker and ready to start face the alien menace again.
I think this meshes quite nicely with what we see in Alien/Aliens - it kills to reproduce in what would seem an impractical way for an evolved life form, but as a biological weapon not only its survival instinct but its sex drive (if any) being blended with the need to murder probably makes sense.
It also makes sense of why the creatures seem to do little but kill other species, why they gather around technology, and why we see (what I think are) quite different creatures and forms for different situations, and the suggestion of weird mercurial changes in reproductive habits in different situations. I think it would probably also shed some light on the way the creature kills in such bizarrely sadistic/sexual ways - it is getting its kicks. I think Mr Giger would approve, indeed the very notion has Giger written all over it.
In a way, what Ridley has done bridges the things about the creatures in the first two films (and even others, if we were to admit any others existed ;) ) that seemed inscrutable or inconsistent. It doesn't kill for purely utilitarian purposes, it gets its thrills in life and its survival from murdering other species. It is changeable from one generation or instance to the next.
I like the way it's being done. We will always have the first film and its bizarre creature, but really the mystery and terror has been chipped away at since then until it is almost a whimsical, commonplace thing, so I guess there's no need to keep the veil of mystery now (at least until we have watched the Prometheus films).
* (although perhaps the idea itself was developed from/created in mimicry of something that already existed in reality or the engineers' mythology, if you remember those murals on LV-223. If so, that might suggest the form is often quite similar to the creature/deacon)
You misunderstand. At the end of Alien Iso there was at least that one Alien on board the Torrens when Amanda ejected herself out of that airlock into space. The Alien itself most likely hung on and climbed back in (just like the one on the Nostromo did for the Narcissus when Ripley was trying to get it off her escape craft). Only reason that one fully went into space was that harpoon hook she impaled it with then fried it with the ships thrusters.
We can safely assume since CA wants to make a second Alien Isolation game, they will probably continue from there with that ship ending up at some other space station or perhaps a planet-based colony, that Alien (and any others if it's not the sole one) will escape and start the whole situation over again. Somehow Amanda will become involved in this and have to do the whole escapade over again.
It is in this second game, at that second location, that we will get to see a Queen hopefully, in all her crowned and large sized glory, in the center of a nest, laying eggs and wanting nothing more than to kill us as we torch the living hell out of said eggs.
That would be cool.
I never saw that deleted scene before but if the spit-like substance breaks down human flesh and bone and turns the person into an egg with face hugger in it then that's pretty cool - and very disturbing.
