I haven't tried it yet as I just now found this from Rock, Paper, Shotgun. I did try the game awhile back and just couldn't get into it. Still playing Alien Isolation made it hard to enjoy because of how good AI is so I uninstalled it.

Hopefully this brings ACM up a notch or two!

I looked into it. It is a small mod. Mostly CFG file edits for graphics (but no new graphics or objects), and a few binary edits to balance the aggressiveness of the aliens depending on the class, and some behaviour improvements on the human AI.

There is an extra add-on to make the Alien a tad slower but tougher.

But you still get the scripted crappy ending... and the now canon WTF story that does not fit the movies.

I'm assuming that "Alien Isolation" was a commercial success? I hope so since ACM was a total flop.

Apparently not, o so I recall. So much that they discarded the idea of a sequel.

Thanks for that info.

So Alien Isolation sold over 2 million copies but yet Sega is disappointed. That just goes to show how much overhead a huge corporate game publisher has.

Nope, just no no no. I could only play the game in small 20-30 mins segments, any more than that and i thought i would have a heart attack.
