Press release info below:
QuoteIn an original story set fifteen years after the film, players take on the role of Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda, who seeks to discover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance. Marooned aboard the stricken space station Sevastopol along with a few desperate survivors, players must stay out of sight, scavenge for resources and use their wits to survive as they are stalked by an ever-present, deadly Alien.
The labyrinthine Sevastopol is an incredibly detailed world that conceals hundreds of logs and hidden items which provide clues to the mystery behind the station’s catastrophic decline. As they explore, players will crawl through air vents, scope out hiding places, hack computer systems and deploy gadgets in a constant bid to outsmart the terrifying Alien, whose unpredictable, dynamic behavior evolves after each encounter.
Alien: Isolation – The Collection will include all DLC previously released for the game including two stand-alone missions set aboard Ellen Ripley’s ship the Nostromo, in which players become a member of the original crew and attempt to evade, contain, and ultimately escape the Alien. The Collection also includes five mission packs that add new maps, playable characters and challenges to Survivor and Salvage modes, outside the main story.
"The technology aboard the Sevastopol harks back brilliantly to the original film," said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. "As players glance at the glowing interface of the motion tracker while desperately hoping the alien doesn't hear its bleeps, they'll experience the same creeping terror felt by the original crew of the Nostromo..."
It's easily one of my favourite horror games, and I'm not kidding you just how much this game scares me. We will have a full post on it when it's released.

OMG this port from Feral doesn't support AMD and Intel... said no one ever. Remind me why everybody hates VP again?

Quoting: KeyrockFor anyone using *buntu, the Nvidia 355.11 driver is in the new "official" graphics PPA they added not too long ago. As long as you have that PPA added then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-355" will do the trick.
I actually tried using the new PPA for the first time for that driver. It installed and worked, but then I noticed that I had lost the ability to overclock. The 'coolbits' option was still set in my xorg.conf, but it didn't show up in nvidia-settings. The manual fan speed option was sometimes there, but the clock settings weren't. I didn't try command line, so I don't know if it was just missing in the GUI. Should have checked that, but at that point I just decided to go back to manual install, after which all the settings reappeared. I usually don't overclock, but it's nice to have the option for some more demanding games.
Has anyone else encountered this?

Quoting: ricki42I use that PPA and I can overclock just fine still with the 355.11 driver. You had Coolbits 8 or 12 set and it didn't work? Weird. Well, at least the manual method works for you. I have no idea why it didn't work with the PPA for you, it works fine for me.Quoting: KeyrockFor anyone using *buntu, the Nvidia 355.11 driver is in the new "official" graphics PPA they added not too long ago.

Edit: Come to think of it, maybe it was nvidia-settings. When I switched to the new PPA and updated my driver I think I remember it telling me there was an update to nvidia-settings, but apt-get held it back like it does with kernel updates (I always do stuff like this from command line, just used to it), so I told it manually to update nvidia-settings. Maybe it needed a nvidia-settings update to go with the nvidia driver update? That's all I can think of.

Quoting: aristoriasThere is no real reason for nvidia holding a monopoly but they know how to make braindead gamers buy their stuff exclusively. And whats currently happening? Everybody buys nvidia. Great, this helps.
There is a very good reason for Nvidia holding a monopoly, it's called delivering performance.
How can AMD break this monopoly ? easy, deliver performance.
I'm not paying 400+ euros to a company that has all the right principles and ideals but constantly fails at delivering performance, I don't pay for ideals, I pay for performance.
But hey, call me braindead.. at least I'll be able to play games at 60 fps or heck... at all even.
As for the game itself: instant buy

I'm looking forward to trying this game, though I have to be honest and say I won't get it unless it's at least 50% off; 55€ is just too expensive for a video game in my opinion. Maybe Steam sales have spoilt me, but living and working in Spain doesn't really allow me to buy games at 50€+.
Some devs like Croteam know this and have tier-2 Euro prices which are more than fair, I wish more devs and publishers would learn this.
