This May Be Our First Look At ‘Alien: Isolation’ On PS3
I’m still having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that Alien: Isolation is just over a week away. It looks terrifying, and much of that stems from the alarmingly intelligent antagonist xenomorph that hunts poor Ripley — along with a few other baddies — with the determination that only a perfectly evolved hunter could possess. Visuals also play an important role, but it’s clear Isolation is no slouch in that area — at least not on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Anyone who’s planning on grabbing the last-gen version knows the game they’ll be playing will look inferior to its current-gen siblings, but will that graphical sacrifice be substantial enough to have any real negative impact on it?
Video Gamer spotted some screenshots that had been republished from a Russian forum by the fan site AVP Galaxy. They’re supposedly from the PS3 version of the game, and while there’s certainly a noticeable difference, they’re not too bad.
Honestly, while I can appreciate a gorgeous-looking video game as much as the next guy, I’m more interested in whether or not the last-gen versions of Alien: Isolation will have any impact on the incredibly complex AI of its alien antagonist.
I’ve reached out to SEGA to see if they’d be willing to confirm or deny their legitimacy. Until I hear back, it goes without saying that because these aren’t official — though they look legit — we’ll have to wait and see.
Alien: Isolation arrives on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
