Sigourney Weaver and other key members from the original 1979 movie add their voices to two bonus levels for Alien: Isolation. Each pre-order will be upgraded to the Nostromo Edition which contains “Crew Expendable” mission where you can play as Ellen Ripley, Dallas or Parker moments after Brett's death. The other mission, “Last Survivor” can be obtained by pre-ordering at GameStop or select retailer in Europe and you control Ripley as she tries to escape on the Narcissus. New screens and accolades trailer inside.
Update: Pre-order trailer added.
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON – July 9, 2014 – SEGA® of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products today announced exclusive pre-order bonus content for Alien: Isolation™, featuring the vocal talent and likenesses of key cast members of the 1979 Ridley Scott masterpiece, Alien. Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winner Sigourney Weaver (Ellen Ripley), Tom Skerritt (Dallas), Veronica Cartwright (Lambert), Harry Dean Stanton (Brett), Yaphet Kotto (Parker) and Ian Holm (Ash, likeness and sound-alike) are set to feature in two downloadable bonus missions, which allow you to relive two classic scenes from the movie.
"Working with the original cast has been an incredible experience," said Alistair Hope, Creative Lead on Alien: Isolation. "It was important to us to have the key original cast members reprise their roles in order to perfectly capture the atmosphere of the movie. For some of the original cast, this is their first appearance in an Alien video game. Seeing them reprise those roles after 35 years was an unforgettable experience."
Anyone who pre-orders the game will get a free upgrade to the Nostromo Edition, which includes the bonus content "Crew Expendable". Players can choose to play as one of three surviving crewmembers, only moments after Brett's death at the jaws of the creature. As Ellen Ripley, Dallas or Parker, players can explore the Nostromo from habitation deck down through engineering, coordinating their efforts with Lambert and Ash to lure the Alien into the ship's airlock.
In addition, consumers who pre-order at GameStop will exclusively also receive "Last Survivor" in which players pick up the story as Ripley tries to escape on the Narcissus. On hearing the screams of Lambert and Parker, players must navigate their way back down through the Nostromo in order to activate the self-destruct sequence, before retracing their steps back to the Narcissus shuttle and their escape.
Alien: Isolation is a first-person survival horror game capturing the fear and tension evoked by Ridley Scott's 1979 classic film. Players find themselves in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger as an unpredictable, ruthless Xenomorph is stalking and killing deep in the shadows. Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.
Alien: Isolation will be available from October 7, 2014, for Xbox One the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Windows PC, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

people moan about developers closing down yet expect everything for nothing...stupid
i dont see people moaning when they go to the shop and there are buy 1 get 1 free offers, buy 1 get 1 half price or buy this tv and get a blu-ray player half price or free
Also if you dont want to preorder then dont moan after, i preorder games because where i preorder from every few months they have a extra 10% off preorder games so i get the games for just under £44 and i get the games 2-5 days before release

Then again i'm not so sure that's the actual issue. I think it's just about maximizing sales in the first week. Before used copies start floating about.
Commented on 2014-07-10 16:31:16 In reply to Megidothey are the consumers and are gaining something free so its not ANTI anything
its a ADDED BONUS, and not something that would have been in the main game anyway lol, it adds life onto a game and so does future DLC or are you against developers adding extra stuff for people who have completed the main game?
I would understand people moaning like plebs if the preorder dlc had a price.
personally i never had paid for DLC i use the free stuff BUT im not then moaning like a fool hat developers are still releasing paid DLC lol i just use my brain and figure if i want it and if i dont then i dont get it SIMPLE.
Yes but a single guy making a game does not have all the staff to pay for, all the overheads and while his game may be fun it looks nothing like a AAA game and couldnt possibly either so you can not compare AT ALL
thats like comparing the fx in a $200 million movie to a indie movie with $100k budget lol

The obvious thing you are missing here is that a lot of people perhaps don't want to or can't pre-order? Need i say Colonial Marines? That's an excellent example of why you should wait until AFTER a game is released to buy it. The pre-order baiting is anti consumer because it completely negates the usefulness of reviews, it's also anti-consumer because it means that some players will not get all the content, because they were SMART CONSUMER who waited or because they can't go to the specific store that has the pre-order offer or some bullshit like that.
And yes, the comment about a single guy making an economically viable game. You kind of missed the point there didn't you? No it won't look the same, but that's kinda my goddamn point isn't it? They are so costly to make that they have trouble making a profit, while much smaller games that don't have 250-man team and all the bells and whistles still rake in money while being fun and creative games. Then again i think most AAA games are complete jokes now anyway. It's all about big name voice actors, shiny graphics and abysmal gameplay. A retarded gherkin must be able to finish a game on hard, or it won't sell enough to be successful. Not every game can sell goddamn CoD or GTA numbers, so set the budget accordingly and make a good game instead of a AAA game.
As for paid DLC, i don't see any issue with that as long as you are getting good content for your money, but that's the same as any product. Horse armor? Not so good.

Commented on 2014-07-10 23:36:32The only people that it effects are people who wait to pick it up cheap or used.
like KORNdog said, it just means extra content for people who are gonna buy it anyway.
If you not buying it day one then the content isn't for you anyway, you can buy it later when you pick up the game cheap, it not anti customer it a thank you, a bonus for pre-ordering.
You can not op out in participating in something and expect the rewards for it.
Also most retailers keep stock of pre-order bonus copies, I got a Steelbook Pre-order Bonus Copy of COD Ghosts on PS4 for £25, I'm sure this will be the same.
