- Since many have never played the Insane AI mod, I created a comparison video to show the difference with some examples (incl. a little trolling). XD
If you like it, I might make some more videos like this. Have fun! - Hry
The problem is, with smart AI, the player is gonna be under a desk for 12 hours during a playthrough.
And in real life you'd be dead if you didn't have a flame thrower

@@Deathworm-eg5lt Isn't this a learning AI?
@@foxesnroses idk, but ai in general can be scarily unpredictable
The thing that always bothered me is how much noise the lockers make when you hide or get out of one. The WHOLE station should have heard that shit.
Alot of horror games do that I don't get it
If it was realistic the character would be opening and closing them as quietly as possible
I also don't like how loud the regular doors are I feel like the ailen should be hearing them and go running as well. If I was there I'd be passing myself each time I walk by a door thinking it meant I was dead
I got killed in a locker once, and immediately assumed it was because the locker noise is 199dB. Proceeded to avoid them throughout the rest of the playthrough.
@@MediHusky right if your running and trying to hide why would you slamb the thing your trying to hide in
@user-xc2go6bt3d
Whenever I use the ION or Plasma torch I always get nervous the Alien will hear it
outlast lockers are quiet
Vanilla mode : Xenomorph acting in a balanced way for the average player.
Insane AI Mod : Xenomorph specially trained to find and kill gullefrosche.
Haha, nice thinking XD
It’s called the menace gauge it governs when the Xenomorph will pursue you and when it will allow you to progress. Horror games are entertainment and if the Xenomorph is gunning for you constantly then people aren’t going to be enjoying the game.
@@thedeepfriar745 it's more like if the Xenomorph is gunning for you constantly, then people won't even be able to complete the game.
@@thedeepfriar745 The devs themselves have acknowledged that at one point during the development, they had a version where the alien was able to sniff you out anywhere and that it wasn't fun.
@@clayman1980 I like the current Vanilla Xenomorph AI honestly, the devs did good.
The Xeno has a variety of sensors it'll use to detect you and the difficulty levels defines the threshold of each sensor activation before the Xeno properly reacts to it. Sound is one such sensor it uses, but at a distance, it doesn't use it to pinpoint you, it allows it to turn its attention to the disturbance and in most cases, go to where it last heard noise and examine the area. Sight (and touching the Xeno) are the two things that'll actually prompt it to kill you, with sight having a threshold that must be reached in order for the AI to rush you. That is, you have to stay in their sight for a certain period of time before it'll engage you. Again, difficulty decreases the time you have to remain in their sight before they'll engage you, but also consider that it'll take a bit longer at a distance, whereas the closer you are to it the faster it'll detect you. Nightmare difficulty makes the Xeno more aware of all its sensors and it'll also react quicker to them. What's more is that the Xeno will spend more time out in the environment as opposed to being up in the air-ducts.
And important part to understand is that the Xeno's actions are dictated by a behavior tree, much of which is locked off at this stage of the game (which is the first real time you're in play with it). Different trees in it's behavior system get unlocked depending on your actions; for example if you keep evading it by hiding in lockers or vents, it'll eventually start randomly checking them but only after you've done this numerous times (or if saw you jump in one, or you made noise with your motion tracker out while hiding).
Insane AI seems to just scrap all of that and make its visual sensor react immediately and at its maximum allowed distance. It seems to react much more aggressively to audio triggers as well. While probably more accurate to how the real Xeno would be, I feel it would be frustratingly tedious to play against, as Nightmare difficulty can get pretty tedious already. I wouldn't be surprised if the mod also unlocked all its behavior tree nodes right from the start too, just to really sell it. It's not something that I'd personally ever play with, but it's neat that people are using OpenCAge to make interesting stuff for this amazing game.
I just watched the original film and the xenomorph was much more opportunistic and less aggressive. The one in Isolation is actually more terrifying because it hunts you through the station, while in "Alien" it waited in the engineering section of the Nostromo, picking off the crew one by one when they seperated themselves, but staying out of the inhabited parts of the ship.
@@TigerofRobare yeah the original Alien was like a spider or praying mantis in that regard. But this one is a straight up active hunter.
@@TigerofRobare Yeah, my only real MAIN complaint about the alien in Isolation is that it loudly stomps around like some tiny godzilla. If there's a mod out there that at the very least makes its footsteps much quieter, I wouldn't mind that. Maybe have it kill some of the lights in an area by ripping out the fixtures, or in a high-light zone have it crawl around instead of run around. They're nocturnal to begin with.
so tl:dr it's boring and tedious, agreed.
What I hate about this game is that alien is walking openly instead of crawling ceilings and vents and attacking you from behind and above as it supposed to be according to movie logic. Devs totally got alien wrong and programmed it poorly, is there any way to change this behavior and make it a ceiling crawler that prefers to hunt you down in shadows with attack from above?
I feel like the insane AI mod is how the alien would act IRL if you met it. Even on medium difficulty this game makes me shit myself, this type of heart-attack? no thank you sister-
There were so many objects and beds, alien was also looking straight in it's front, if it was realistic it wouldn't notice Ripley. 9:56 is pure nonsense. This mod is only if you want to suffer. If the original game was too forgiving then this is straight out bullshit. Something between original game and this mod would be alright.
Actually no
The Xenomorphs are almost blind
So if you are *EXTREME* quiet they probably will not notice you
Absolutely disagree. IRL, in most circumstances the Xenomorph wouldn't be able to hear you taking small steps over the various sounds the ship makes and the ambient noise.
Also wasn't the Xeno in Alien confined to almost one section only? It was like a snake more than a dog, it didn't run straight towards anything while being rabid, but stayed on dark areas and hunted prey when they were off-guard
@@francomoreira4222 There's a popular theory (that I happen to find appealing) hat the xenomorph wasn't hunting them, it was actually terrified. Think of how they always say "animals are more scared of you than you are of them."
In the original Alien - to be clear, this theory does not apply as well to the sequel (THERE WAS ONLY ONE), but that was a different circumstance - there's no sign given that the xenomorph is actively hunting the Nostromo's crew. It's retreating to dark places, sticking to the vents to move around, and only striking when someone is shooting around a flamethrower, or has it cornered in a room.
Sure, this could be read as the actions of a hunter, but it could also be read as an animal scared shitless, lashing out in self-defense. It's no different from a snake striking because it believes you're a predator about to kill it, but otherwise trying to slither away and find a new hiding spot.
Even at the very end, Ripley finds it's gone into the shuttle and has curled up in the walls. If it were trying to kill her, why would it do that? It has no way to know what the shuttle is, or that Ripley's going to be returning there, or that the Nostromo is about to explode. But the alarm systems are blaring, the red lights are flashing, and the shuttle seems to be the one place where it can be "safe" from all the cacophony.
Even more interesting when you think about the fact that this is early in the game...meaning this is just the simple AI system, not even the experienced one tailored to your way of playing. xD
You are right. The save point is the same in MS5. And the behavior tree is at the beginning. And yet a big difference in the behavior of the alien
In no way does the original AI learn from the player. It uses a branching system where it will unlock certain personality nodes when you hit or play certain parts of the game. There’s a whole video on how the original AI works and being “tailored” to the player is not one of them sorry lol.
@@dangerzone9 yes but to the player, the gradual unlock of different nodes gives the player the feeling that the AI is learning, even though it isn’t’ t as you pointed out. It’s a very clever game dev trick.
When I learned that the xenomorph learned your behavior that was after I realized it was checking all the spots I like.
@@dangerzone9 in that very same video you referenced it is said that the Alien can unlock behavioural nodes from player stimulai. The thing you talked about was placed by the devs to ensure the Alien keeps up to some extend with the player in case they were basically too good.
Edit: unless you are referencing the very first AI and Games video which might not have mentioned that information. But the 'remake', or 2nd part of it does
Man, I still get little spikes of adrenaline from this game, and I'm not even playing it.
Best Horror Game I've ever played.
It was so stressful I couldn't finish it.
@@smokingcrab2290 when you get the flamethrower it gets a lot more bearable.
I made the mistake of playing it blind on nightmare on relase XD . Like oh I pretty good at horror games , put on hardest setting ... I don't remember alien being this retarded for me XD.
yea dude I hope there will be a sequel cuz I can't find anything else as scary as this
@@AudioGardenSlave123 hans get ZE FLEMMENWERFER
7:11 that run off was horrific, the close call at the door was pure horror scare
Yeah I still jumped and I was expecting it after reading your comment
The noises completely fuck me over
usually i up the speed depending on the video and i had this at 1.5x and dear god cutting to that part almost caused me a heart attack
I’m watching this in broad daylight and I fucking jumped 💀
Fr those loud, heavy footsteps getting closer and closer send pure dread into my soul
I know this is not what the video is about, but seeing the tail slither behind, and the furniture get tossed around in it's search for you is the most immersive thing to ever witness.
When the stool rolls by the desk about 5:30 - that was a really good moment! Totally agree
I vividly remember a specific moment when I was playing it for the first time. I had just sounded the alarm and when I was running for the exit, I saw the Xeno drop right in front of me, lift a human enemy by the neck and eviscerate him while the alarms blared and the lights flashed red in a rhythm that was just enough to obscure part of the violence. That stuck with me because, to this day, I don't think I've ever felt more immersed in a video game than at that moment, even with VR games. It felt like a scene pulled straight from the film.
2:35
Ya it kicking the stools around right in the openings and it's tail going slowly by you
Felt just like a movie very horrifying can't imagine what would be like actually playing
Sometimes the tail catching on/tossing objects just looks goofy but in this case it really seemed like it was doing it on purpose, added great tension to the scene.
While I think modding is a great thing for games and their communities, this is a pretty unfair comparison. The original AI uses a revolutionary new AI governor which aims to maximize tension and fun. The original xeno isn't stupid, it's deliberately not allowed to chase you the first time you see it. It absolutely will try to kill you later on.
I think it would be more scarier if when it spot you, it would made a hassle running around you sniffing but not actually trying to kill you, just spook you instead of acting that it cant see you.
@@EddyKorgoeventually games are going to get advanced enough to account for personal preference too and if it detects you're not scared enough it'll switch to alien sniff mode or something
Yeah, that’s why I kind of developed into losing a fear later on, though that may just be because I was trying to beat the game before I go to sleep, and it just kept on going.
The issue is time. If you play with crazy AI, you will spend soooo much time hiding that the gameplay time will double. To most players, that's too long, and after hiding for hours on end, some would just find it boring and stop playing.....unless you love this kind of thing.
Exactly. The game is meant to have progress, not going round in circles. I wonder will they make a mode where you must stay in a locker for 6 hours straight. Some people can find that interesting. Being afk.
One of the reasons I stopped playing. I wanted to finish this game, but it just got too tedious and was pretty stressful at times.
@smokingcrab2290 The game should have been 20hrs max. Keep entering all the way and not "omg, when will it end"
@smokingcrab2290 An ASMR locker version lol
@@smokingcrab2290 I had a blast the first time I played it but on my second run-through I felt exactly as you did. I knew what to expect and took more chances, died, and eventually got bored by the tedium of having to hide all the time, and never finished the second play. This game is a masterclass in suspense and tension though, even just for the once through.
When you shut the door on the Xeno and it came around the other way in record speed 😂 terrifying
Xeno: I must proceed at a high velocity
I don't think anyone is gonna see this but what if someone did a model swap of the alien with a velociraptor from Jurassic park and turned the blood from green to red? I'm not sure something like that exists but I thought it be really cool
Closest thing I think of is the first Dino Crisis. Being stalked by an unkillable T-Rex and raptors making you think they're one step ahead really gives off feelings of extreme dread and anxiety. It's an old PS1 game and is in desperate need of a remake!
@@ScornedScallopes Forgot about that game. It stressed me out. 😂
Dude I often thought of the same thing! The general pace of this whole game is identical the scene in the kitchen with the raptors
I instead thought about just a moddel swamp of The Alien with Khezu from MH, i just see it fitting lol
Imagine the Velociraptor kitchen scene in unreal 5. Similar to the gameplay we saw with hiding under the table etc would be great very tense.
7:28 I love how angry it looks entering the room frantically searching for you to make you pay what you just did :D
literal SECONDS after getting the door slammed on it too, it wanted blood so bad it could taste it. this new aggressive AI does not fuck around , and we're about to find out lol
That shit was hilarious

You have insane confidence in your ability to troll this thing. Hot damn.
I finished my nightmare + unpredictable alien mode run and it was fun for the most part, though the alien still acted stupid at times. Should I try this mod now? It looks super fun and super frustrating too. I kinda love it.
Nightmare + unpredictable Alien Mod sounds like a contradiction.... Hardcore and novice+
No map, no loot, occasionally an alien
But yes, you should definitely try the Insane AI MOD
@@gullefrosche Well, it was supposed to allow alien to roam more freely, like entering areas it would normally not enter (for example the room where Kuhlman is sitting behind the glass) or cutting off your route in certain parts (that was fun, as he was truly unpredictable), but maybe you're right. Perhaps on hard or normal he'd act better. Maybe I'll try that later. For now this mod is next :D
@@Esiaa I played the Unpredictable Alien MOD and got bored with it quickly. Free roaming alien sounds better than it is

Damn I jumped on that last kill😅
As cool as this would be, stealth games like this on hard+ mode really boil down to becoming a "dwarf simulator". You're crouched 100% of the time, never EVER running or even walking in your normal stance. It gets tedious quick and kills variety.
Since you're trying to make the game scary and atmospheric, you have to not kill the player every few seconds, or it becomes a video game and not a horror experience. You also should give players the chance to see glimpses of the monster without it detecting you, so it's sensible to not have its detection be realistic. You also wouldn't want the player to get frustrated by needing to crawl through the whole game and memorize spawn locations. Making a horror game like Isolation is very difficult and comes down to more than just making it absurdly hard to survive longer than a few seconds.
As a person who runs Aliens as a tabletop game, I have come to understand that tension is found in the space near failure, but not actual failure. I understand their programming choice to make it a little bit dumb. For most people, It's enough that it's in the room with you and can one shot you. Too many deaths and it becomes dull.
Of course the mod is for players that are experienced with the game and that is a different case.
You perfectly explained creative thought behind Subnautica, it was about creating terror and not horror in game. Just building up the tension and letting your imagination run wild. Well, until you get more familiar with game and your knowledge, takes the edge of it. Same with Alien Isolation, they really nailed the terror in the game.
I find the vanilla AI more realistic. Also, games need to be fun otherwise there is no point in playing them. An extreme difficulty would only make the game incredibly annoying. I've played the game several times and I found the AI to be really good, some flaws of course, but very organic and realistic most of the time. Playing this game in VR, by the way, is an incredible experience.
Some people want challenge and enjoy it that way
Well I personally am a casual player but I could see why they would do such
You’re out pf your mind
That’s HELLA subjective
Yeah I want my space aliens to be more realistic damnit!!
Not like there weren't movies to compare the game aliens too...
It more accessible but not close to what xenomorphs have been generally been portrayed as.
6:39 - 8:03 Best trolling the Xeno skit I've seen. 👍
I´ve done this in many variations probably a hundred times - It´s challenging every time :)
As much as I love this, this terrifies me. That mission (mission 5) is one of those missions that took me forever to do because it scared me out of my wits end. Having the AI be that terrifying would be insane. But now I’m morbidly curious and mildly interested in trying this mod.
we need vr
@@EddyKorgo you can play it in vr.
Its always in med decks in sci fi genre . . .
When I created this mod I didn't imagine it could arouse so much interest for the wrong reason, trolling, if only the vanilla game had been more flexible and with less structural limitations, I wouldn't have let escape anyone 😈 I await a revised and corrected sequel.
Proof my guy
@Ultimate i mean, same name, also nobody has much to gain from lying about it. The game has a cult following, sure, but a random comment wont give them instant clout for claiming the mod.

@@moderndemon84 I see... The point is that nobody cares. Thank you
Why we don't have a sequel yet is beyond me.
Probably because the game didn't sell well due to the stupid IGN review
@@GamesRUs-bj2ut I think it sold pretty well out the gate, and has continued to sell pretty well on steam and PlayStation.
@@collieee2957 Probably not to the extent to make a sequel though
@@GamesRUs-bj2ut yeah you might be right, but I personally believe a sequel would get a lot of free promotion from CZcamsrs and sell way better than the first game. alien isolation just took a long time to get respect lol
@@GamesRUs-bj2ut and yet Sega is making another f$cking Sonic game.
I swear to god every single time the xenomorph is around, I just jump and scream at the mere sound of his haunting footsteps being in the area. He causes me so much anxiety.
Xenomorph AI doesn't get enough credit. I know it was one of THE selling points of the game when it came out but now it's kind of forgotten and really there hasn't been a "stalker" type enemy done better in almost 10 years since the release of this game.
I love the sound the heavy xenomorph steps, it really puts the power and weight of the creature into perspective.
I'm definitely gonna try to play the whole game with this Mod. When I first played AI, it was a very intense, never-racking, sweaty-palms, panic attack experience. But than I played it over & over again. And the Alien wasn't that scary anymore. I knew what, and what not, to do in order to easily make my way past every Alien encounter. This mod looks like just what I need to bring me back to that first-time experience of dread.
To be fair, the same applies to anyone who faces the aliens long enough. They arent dumb, but they do have habits thatnpeople familiar with them can exploit...
The main problem being that most folks don't have enough lives to figure those habits out.
@@vla1ne depending on the individual, one can figure out after the first playthrough. But I guess you have to play on hard in order to figure out the patterns. People generally start on easy or medium, so they don't get the full scope of the alien's behavior, and even get too impressed with it. (they would finish hard as second playthrough and by that time they'll move on) If you play on hard first playthrough you'll learn the exploits quickly.
6:41 god those footsteps are horrifying
I am a casual horror game enjoyer. They stress me out so bad, but I do like them here and there. Just watching the demonstration of this mod had my anxiety tweaking xD I don't think I could do it. I'll just stay proud for beating this game on hard mode.
Is it possible to get through the whole game with this mod? The game was already anxiety-critical. Even watching this few minutes with the mod had me on the edge of my seat! :)
7:09 - This part had me stressing so much when you ran for it! 🤣
I thoroughly enjoyed this video despite not smiling the entire time.
Hey nice video! Do you know what specifically changes with this mod? Is there some sort of tolerance meter when it sees you or "thinks" it sees you and instead of investigating it will pursue where you were? Cool videos again btw
Edit: Do doors also trigger this the alien in the insane mod? cause that is a cool effect if so
I've played games that scared me but this one was cathartic! It's hard to get through without a piss bag and no lights in the room.
Huh, really good footage. See, I always treated the Alien as a threat to be avoided at all costs, never to be trolled, in Vanilla; the very first time I encountered it in the medical center, I locked myself in a locker and didn't come out. I actually remember quitting the game until I worked up the courage to continue! I never really tested the limits of its AI, but it appears to be kind of easy to fool, which is weird considering how well designed it first seemed. The mod is necessary.
No, it's only like this if you exploit the gameplay like this guy does. He's likely put thousands of hours into this game. This mod is not at all needed unless you have far too much time to burn up.
@@tankourito5419 ye, in this gameplay Xeno looks kinda "dumb" in vanilla but yep, its because how the player is doing it
@@tankourito5419 you don't need to play thousands of hours to exploit the game mechanics. You can learn to do it on the second playthrough. That's just about 30 hours before you're capable of running circles around the alien. It doesn't mean the game loses fun, because still, a single mistake when "trolling" and you're dead.
@@tankourito5419My brother, I did my first playthrough on Hard and I already discovered how to exploit AI after finishing the Mission 6.

Okay, that bit where you're literally playing with the Xeno in the hallways is legit the boldest thing I've ever seen anyone do in this game XD
Man, this game makes my palms sweating even just by looking at it or hearing those footsteps. So cool
I played it and finished on nightmare mode, but boy was it the hardest thing I’ve ever played. One single sound was enough to have the xeno patrol around nearby for like 10 minutes before it sort of gives you false security and comes back seconds later. When the alien was around, it was mostly me hiding and trying my best to be silent. No joke, even tipping over a small object was enough for it to react, even when it was so far away.
Nightmare mode was very stressful and relied on using anything around you. Noise makers and other humans were the only way to keep it off your tail. Closets yes were safe, but it would always excrete the toxin whether it heard you or not. And if you regularly hid in the closet, that’s where it would always hang around.
Never again will I play it on nightmare mode. Not just the xeno but resources were so scarce it was frustrating sometimes.
This gives me anxiety issues.
Same here 😂 i try to hide in every place i can after making noise
i panic when i hear alien foot steps
Bro that is terrifying that noise when it's running behind you
Played this so much that the Alien's scream still puts me in full panic.
Any object should be able to somewhat cover you.
Because what's the point of having those objects there in the 1st place.
Not permanently perhaps,but briefly.
Especially when the Xeno is minding his(her?)own bussines while going in your direction,but not actually actively seeking you.
Unless they have xray vision or something somehow blocked only by the Mighty Locker.
No, I disagree with that. If I hide behind such a bed, you still see in any case! So will the alien.
@@gullefrosche
But you are partly hidden and you see Alien because you are actively paying attention to its position,while it is walking around
pondering about the meaning of life or something.
Infact,has it never happened to you in real life that you were actively searching for something and it even was in your field of vision the whole time,but because it was partly hidden behind some object+possibly of similar colour that you haven't realised you were looking at it the whole fcking time?
Because it happened to me many,many times.
Such as phones&remote controlers.
Player is a lot bigger that those devices, but so is bed a lot bigger than the objects partly hiding those devices.
@@GameslordXY the xenomorphs are made to be near-perfect hunters, I doubt they waste time on pondering life if they spend so much time being adept at ending it.
also necroposting
@@HavingCrumpets you would be surprised about all the inticating things Xenomorphs do when they are not killing or breading. Truly missunderstood creatures.

You've got a sub mate, hope you have more vids like this.
Literally biting my nails at that trolling gameplay. Well played.
And just think with how difficult to escape the modded version is, it’s the same as what Ripley had to deal with four times what a badass
This game is terrifying and amazing
It's the footsteps for me, the sound of it getting closer and closer
I wanted to play this game for so many years and still don't have it but I found out it was on Nintendo so I will willing to buy it and injoy one of a life time of awaiting for this moment to happen
Hey, glad for you dude, did you enjoyed it?
I have never played yet im feeling scared, i can tell this is a game made with love or absoloute insanity levels of dedication
5:50 holy shit, I haven't even finished the video and this is nuts. It knows you're in there and it's not giving up .. 🤣
You have to crouch almost the whole game, try to hide more efficiently (now it can spot you if you are able to see it), lockers are fun to hide at with this mod.
Those are a few things I've noticed, oh, and the alien spawns a lot more.
5:31 That chair move was so 80s cliche horror move. Amazing!

Are you serious; the fucking thing will look under tables now!?!?! That sucks, I love it! In seriousness, this mod is really GOOD! You can almost see the Xenomorph "thinking" while it's in that room; it almost leaves, second-guesses itself, and tries to find you again like, "I KNOW I saw that little meat sack run in here!"
fun fact: the xenomorph looks under tables in the original game as well, maybe you just didn't experience it
It always looks under tables
it has always been able to look under tables
@@yutisima they do. Number of times I thought I was safe under the table. Boy was I wrong
@@yutisima Well I'm glad as fuck that I didn't. Maybe it does it more on the highest difficulty, but I haven't played above Hard mode.
Damn. Never thought there's an insane mod. Time to replay it 😈
I want to play through this game again but at the same time I dread the thought.
Only way I got through this game was by livestreaming it a little over a year ago, this game had me terrified of ever touching it since it came out
I think this is actually more accurate because it probably adapted it's behavior subconsciously while being around humans and not other xenos for so long. All this sort of negative behavior adaptation could have made also less of a lethal hunter because it had very easy prey to get and was tired of just getting it's meal and wanted to play with it's food so if anything it already knows you are there and is just copying human behavior to traumatize you because it knows you have likely seen it kill one of your supposed crew members.
the insane mode really is hardcore wow, my heart was pounding so much. it look so hard yet so fun if beaten, i can imagine how rewarding it is when beaten the game.
PSA & to OP: If you didn't know, you should limit your Alien Isolation on PC to 100 FPS with RivaTuner(it comes with MSI Afterburner) because when it goes over that, the game because a little buggy and weird shit happens. I noticed this instantly when watching the video because when the Alien would kill you the mouth animations had no sound.
Insane mode feels like the first Jurassic movie lol
Love this game
Hey man, your video contains an entire range of different behaviors and sounds that the alien makes, and I'd very much like to use parts of it in a guide I'm making. Are you ok with the guide featuring parts of your video? You'll get credited of course.
I like the idea of making it smarter, but it’s not really like they have eyes or anything. I like that the Xeno could get right in your face and not notice you as long as you’re being quiet enough. This mod makes it feel like they’ve got better vision than a telescope
The sound design of the alien really makes this games. Footsteps, growls, tail slithers etc.
I placed like 3 flash bombs in a corridor where I was SURE the alien would go and oh my god it was funny as shit when he walked on them
Holy shit. I have done three playthrough's, one on nightmare and I can see how intense this mod is....
By the way, are you joking? What's this pressing from the Xeno? If the game was like that, I would have probably dead by now. By an heart attack. No way that I can resist at that kind of pressure.
Games with jumpscares frighten you for a short while. This game is a full-on stress inducer!
Yea I spend 90% of the game crouching and moving a couple feet( first time player , and started on nightmare mode)
I've played through Alien Isolation twice over the years, but to see it with this AI was terrifying as H... How on earth did you manage this without pissing your pants out of fright? I always play the game in the dark, for the best atmosphere, even if it makes it much scarier.
I subscribed because I like your videos
You are #300 xD
Yes
Прости, что пишу на русском, потому что не могу на английском, но скажу теье, как исправить баг со скримерами в alien isolation, а точнее как вернуть звук убийства.
1. Открыть панель Nvidia
2.зайти в раздел управление параметрами 3D
3.будет большое окошко в том разделе и там есть пункты "Глобальные параметры" "Программные настройки", тебе нужен программные настройки. Там дальше понадобится найти игру и нужно ограничить FPS до 104, лучше поставить 102. У самого была проблема год, но я смог решить ее и надеюсь я помог тебе. Видео очень крутое
I think it would be interesting to test the insane IA into vents, like in crew expandable when you are on the maze
how quick it went in from the other side after you locked the door. the alien was so mad it could became a nun, punching a shark in the face while a transformer is watching from the background. lol 😂
Alien in Vanilla: Scary stalker enemy.
Insane AI mod alien: Lore accurate.
Alien really just said "Nu uh" when you tried to hide under that bed in the last clip 💀
"is that you john wayne? is this me"
alien: WHO SAID THAT, WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT
I thought I played well, until I saw this video.
In nightmare mode like a absolute unit
I still can not get over how insanely good and detailed the Xenomorph's AI is.
Which mode is this comparing? Because from what I have learned the alien ai acts differently on the different modes.
In insane mode there should be a fart option while hiding or pull its tail option while it’s walking away from you just to add some fun to the game when you know yer gonna die ever 2mins
I always find it weird when the Xeno bends down to look for you under things. It has no eyes or nose, the only hunting sense the Xeno has is sound.
I mean, I get WHY (the devs) they did it this way, it gives you a chance to react and move away, but it's still weird.
Ripped from the Wikipedia:
They have elongated, cylindrical skulls with eyes underneath the "visor". In the novelization of Alien, the character Ash speculates that the Xenomorphs "see" by way of electrical impulse, similar to a shark's lateral line.
So they don’t see the same way we do but they def still use things other than sound.
It can sense you with those things on its back i forgot the name of..so in a sense it can kind of smell you
you get why the devs made the xeno like it is supposed to be? they 'see' pheromones
This gave me a chills. 😎💪
10 yrs later and i still love watching this game. Never gets boring to play or watch. No single experience is ever the same.❤
I'm too chicken sh*t to try this mod tho.
Edit: btw, how well do distractions and flamethrowers work on this mod?
7:20 RUUUN BITCH, RUUUUN
I don't play mods nor the vanilla game. I play the chocolate version.
Everything's turn brown when I see the alien. 😅🤣🤣🤣
Wow, it's awesome that the mod makes the Xeno search for another door immediatly while hunting when the other door the player went through got closed.
now bc of u, i wanna play this game soo freaking bad again, tbh, the first and only game that gave me a lot of terror in all my body parts... even in my eyes i wanted to cry one time xD
3:56 This shit still scared me 😭
6:18 - How many fuckin times is he gonna search this room? Lol.
Yes, sometimes I call it "Columbo" 🤣
5:40 I like how it knows it saw you but it’s having trouble figuring out where you went but it knows you are in the room
Also 9:40 did this man just sniff you out?
Alien on the vanilla mod: Any other Monday at work.
Alien on the insane AI mod: Any other Monday at work but with a migraine.
