*Spoiler* Discussion about certain things in the game/movie

[Your Old Friend is back]

So I was wondering about the ship they found on that planet, is it the Xenomorph's ship or some other alien? Is it an Xenomorph sitting dead and fossilized in that chair in that ship or another type of alien that the Xenomorphs killed? Also what is that chair thing that it was sitting in looks like possibly a huge laser on it? Also, in the game theres some signal thing you turn off but it is never fully explained as far as I could tell and if so I suppose I wasn't paying enough attention at the time, and it never appears in the first movie. I'm assuming it was another alien who was attacked by the Xenomorphs and that was the distress signal on their ship?

Also, for people who got that far in the game, the guy you go back to,(Ricardo) after messing with the satellite dish is supposedly dead because the baby Xenomorph is attached to his face while he is sitting in the chair, but based on what I saw in the movie, he wouldn't be dead, just paralyzed or in a coma, but this is never explained and people will just assume he's dead having not seen the movie. Yes, possible he would have died later though.

Lastly, headcrabs from Half life 2, based on facehugger Xenomorphs? :)

Wasn't the "guy", wasn't it the wife of Marlow?

Also there is no such thing as not seeing Alien. Does not compute.

No, and there's probably plenty who haven't seen it, it came out in 1979.

Yes, sorry. I thought you were talking about the person being facehugged on LV426, that was Marlow's wife. You were talking about Ricardo.

With less snark now: All your questions are answered in the movies. And I'm glad they did not repeat all that in game for the few people who played Isolation and did not watch the movies. So much exposition would have ruined the pacing and, frankly, is not necessary for the game to work.

Correct, it was Ricardo, and it's fine that they didn't explain I suppose, but it was just something that I observed.

the abandond ship on the planet has alot of specualtion since the movie prometheus, but if you follow that the ship belongs to a race known as "the engineers" if you follow the commics the ship belongs to space jockys ( weird aliens that have a small elephant like trunk like you saw on the chair). if you follow the movies that chair is also a space suit and not a fossilised body. it really just depends on the canon you prefer. regardless of what canon you follow once you are impregnated by a face hugger, if you dont get the egg or larva surgically removed right away you will absolutely die, so it is definate that your buddy in the chair is or will be dead.

The Movie promethey Explains some Things ,,The Chair is a Pilot Char of something Called Engeneer .The engeneer looks like a large Human.. What they found in the Movie ist a Spaceship,..and the room with the Seat you have seen is the *cockpit* .In this Cockpit is the Seat in that the Engeneer sIts ..That thing in the Seat looks like an Alien ,BUT its the SPACESUIT of the Engeneer ,(that looks liek Large Human) .THe Engeneer enters this Spacesuit and can Fly that Spaceship that they found in Alien .(1979)

Thank you for this information, that answers a lot of my questions that I had.

The planet you are referring to is the moon LV-426.
It is not the Xenomorph's ship. The derelict ship was from another lifeform, now known as the Engineers. The fossilized lifeform in that chair was an Engineer that was infected by an alien lifeform as it's rib cage is blown outwards.
The chair itself is the control for the ship.
This is all explained in the film Prometheus.

This was the distress/warning beacon that woke the crew of the Nostromo out of stasis. This is what you are turning off in the game. It never appeared in the film because they really didn't have time to find it before Kane got a face full of a facehugger.

You have a point here. The people who have never seen Alien wouldn't know what the life cycle of a Xenomorph is so I highly suggest to those people.....SEE THE MOVIE!
The film came out in 1979 and is still referred to this day in various forms. It's a culturally iconic film.
I cannot imagine why somebody would buy this game without having clue about the film.

Thank you for all of the information.
I saw the first film as a kid and didn't remember much of it, I don't think I saw any of the others, and the game is really good itself, so I could see people playing it without seeing the films, in fact I know of people who have never seen them and played the game.

[Spectre]

The movie Prometheus will answer all of the questions queried above.

[Berserk Belta]

My advice is to watch Alien, Aliens and Prometheus. It's an interesting story and worth getting into :)

Do them a huge favor and tell them to see the movie. If they liked the atmosphere of the game, the film will blow them away. Must watch in the dark though, not really but it helps.

Ridley Scott left the alien life cycle ambiguous in the first film. I don't count the deleted scene as canon. The life cycle was fully explained by Aliens. The egg moprhing idea is unrealistic and not plausible or believable to the audience. The hive-mind/insect-like life cycle made far more sense. If you saw the original film without that deleted scene, you would never know it's true life cycle. In fact it was Ridley Scott who originally came up with the idea of the queen. But it never came to fruition in the original.

You know this game has made me watch all the movies again. Funny thing is the first one is still great and superior to the rest.

I dont think Ive ever encountered a game that is so accurate to the source material. Quite a feat in itself.

Yes, you are correct. my bad. I was referring to the deleted scene. In that case the Xenomorphs would have been quite different in the fact that there would be no need for a queen if any of them could produce eggs. Probably why he deleted that one scene.
But more importantly I was referring to the facehugger, egg planting in the host and birth.
