Rick Dangerous Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Anyone play this on Switch yet? I mean the PS3 could handle it so i'm sure it runs just fine on Switch. My only qualm is that it's digital only. A nice AAA title like this; i'm holding out for a cart release. Let us know your thoughts if you own it!

roots.genoa Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) I wanted to buy it just for the sake of it, because the port is excellent, almost as good as the PS4 one (it was an early PS4 game though, since it was also released on PS3). But since I already played it on PC, I would have preferred a physical release as well; I finally got it on sale, and I just played a bit one of the DLCs for fun. It looked absolutely great. I would compare Alien Isolation to these experiences that are nightmarish while you endure them, but that you get a fond memory of later. It's clearly one of the most intense survival horror games I have ever played, and my biggest complain is they tried to make a 20-hour game of it like most AAA titles, but I feel it's far too much for that kind of game. I mean you can already get stuck for a long time at the very beginning in a locker, waiting for the right time to go out. ? And as soon as you go out, you can hear the alien coming back... ? Also, because of this, they had to add some variety and there are other "enemies" in the game, that manage to look stupid (imho) while being incredibly annoying. ?

Punisher5.0 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I bet it would look great on the OLED model. 30 fps is not ideal but possibly playable in portable mode. Still an impressive port though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 30 fps is OK for a survival horror game, especially one in which you never run. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a HUGE Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Dino Crisis fan (I even got a survival horror game called Deep Fear that I imported from Japan for my Sega Saturn since it was never released here in the USA) I'd be interested in a cart release of Alien Isolation too for the Switch!!!
