The androids running on the spot is a reference to the first movie, when Ash tries to warm up his body temperature or tries to "loosen" his joints after having not moved for a while.
I thought I’d never be able to get this Platinum. Went back and finished it up earlier this week in prep for Romulus. It’s now probably the Platinum I’m most proud of.
There are a few who have got the one shot achievement WITHOUT cheesing it/reloading saves before the death screen. If you die, you restart the whole game from the beginning. Not to mention, NIGHTMARE difficulty. Most of them are speed runners but there are a few who aren't speed runners who've done it. See Snamwhiches' video on it to get a glimpse of hard that really is. He has got many insane achievements, but says Alien Isolation nightmare permadeath is by far the hardest.
Played this when it was first released, got to the San Cristobal medical facility and noped the fuck out 😂. Played it again this year with the missus watching and finally completed it. Absolutely amazing game; fingers crossed we one day see a sequel
Don’t know what the struggle is all about. I breezed through the game with only a few deaths. (I finished the game on easy and will never, ever attempt the platinum) Hats off to you, sir! Been looking for a good Alien: Isolation platinum playthrough for a while, and you delivered!
I consider getting the plat on this game a few years ago my greatest achievement in gaming - especially completing the game without a single death. It's the most nerve racking game ever made IMO. The sound effects are just amazing and the alien AI is so ahead of its time. Probably the most underrated game to date. Shame there wasn't a sequel.
This is a great playthrough with great commentary of a great game! Never watched your videos before, watched many a playthrough of this game when it first came out- earned a sub. Absolutely fantastic balance of face cam, editing, voiceover, and challenge. Thanks for the great playthrough!
Your love of the franchise and this game comes across wonderfully, without being too 'biased'. Obviously this is one of the best games ever, Alien attachment notwithstanding, but I especially loved the parts where you pointed out little Easter eggs that I wouldn't know about as a casual Alien fan.
Thank you so much for the kind words that really means alot! I like to cover games I love or that interest me and the Aliens franchise definitely is one of those 😁
One of the best survival horrors. I love jumping back to this game every now and then. I also love how you interact with each viewer. You’ve earned a new subscriber
17:12 you weren’t dead, that’s a knock animation. When having the flamethrower and just flaming the alien a bit. It’s impossible to die, you just lose health when the alien attacks.
At 17:10 when the alien got too close to safely repell with the flamethrower, you assumed it was a death and loaded but it just smacked you for a third of your health while running away. Surviving close calls like that is such a cool movie moment whenever it happens.
What makes alien isolation scary in my opinion is the ai behind the alien. It literally adapts to the way you play. Example: if you hide too much the alien will learn to check hiding spots more often. Which in itself is terrifying. Another example being that if you use the flame thrower on the alien too much, it’ll start to ignore it, charging past the flames and to the player. It literally learns that fire doesn’t hurt it. I watched several videos on the way the alien works and learning that it literally always knows where you are, in my opinion, makes for a intense and scary game. Also the reason I refuse to play this one. Loool.
Music for anyone curious (all from the 1920s): “I’m Just a Vagabond Lover” and “All By Myself.” The prior was a Rudy Vallee number and the second a classic Irving Berlin work.
The best pure horror game ever, definitely the best game tied to a movie ip. Sure resident evil 4 is more fun, but there's a case to be made of this being the best horror game ever.
As someone who earned the platinum long ago, it was a god damn nightmare, but my god did it make me proud earning it. LETS GO LIFELONG ALIEN FANS!!! Side note the no killing humans part, yeah I let the alien do all that 😂😂😂
This was 🔥🔥🔥 soo much clips with what I can relate to I wish I could like this Video Twice 😂 next alien platinum will be the psvr2 game when It launches 😂
My first playthrough I managed to wipe out a good amount of difficult trophies and I even tried to cheese the one shot trophy, which worked for a bit until the facehuggers. Their kill animations are so fast the game will immediately count it as a death unlike the alien who has a couple seconds long death animation. I might platnium the game in the future but even on the easiest difficulty the alien was terrifying
Yeah the facehuggers are really make or break for this platinum. If you play novice slow and steady I can’t see why you wouldn’t get the platinum, still crazy intense
Platinumed this on PS4 years ago then recently realised it had a PS3 version too so bought it and got the platinum for that as well. No surprise that the PS4 version is far superior.
fun fact for those who are just picking up this game. the more you hide the more the aliens learn, so the more you hide during the beginning and mid game, the more likely they will catch you in a hiding spot
Awesome I played threw Isolation like 4 times on PlayStation and once on Switch yesterday and I still don't have the Platinum I guess I should work on that!
I was thinking about playing this game for the plat but couldn’t find anything definitive on if you could cloud save scum it or not. I have so many other games that I was only going to play this if I could do it in one playthrough
I have a question. Regarding the flawless achievement, does the game also register the game over screen as death after accidentally killing innocent npc's?
Great video alien isolation is peak do you plan on doing avp on ps3 if so let me know if you wanna put together a group to boost multiplayer trophies one of them requires 8 people
I'm trying this as well, only got to Chapter 8 so far. How are you not dead after 3 shots on Hard? Also 7:42 happened to me as well one time. Some tricks to use is shooting at the stairway in mission 8 right after calling the transit so the humans are in a panicked state and don't go patrolling. You can do this as well in mission 11 if you shoot below where the heavy armored human is, which is likely what happened in the video at 11:55.
@@TheBlackKS1 Well spotted, so I originally started this 3 years ago way before youtube. so that part was actually edited from novice difficulty, hence the 3 shots, after around that chapter the rest was all footage from hard difficulty. Thats an interesting tactic though, so many ways to get through encounters
But dude how did you Get to know how many ammos did you have? In nightmare mode I do not have map,the movement signal thing works bad and the interface ( not the one where you actually craft them)of weapons and other stuff like molotovs is invisible
The androids running on the spot is a reference to the first movie, when Ash tries to warm up his body temperature or tries to "loosen" his joints after having not moved for a while.
Ohhh!!! Thats really cool, I didn’t notice that! Thanks for pointing it out
Was just about to put this, good job I saw this first =)
That’s pretty cool
I thought they where just tweaking-
I remember going for the one shot achievement only to be ran over by train in the very end. Oh the frustration...
dear god I can imagine
Sigma
I thought I’d never be able to get this Platinum. Went back and finished it up earlier this week in prep for Romulus. It’s now probably the Platinum I’m most proud of.
Congrats! Great platinum to have for sure man
Funny that's exactly the same History for me ... congratulations bro , you're one of the legends of Alien's Univers
Props to you for acc getting the trophy. The achievements this game has are brutal

Snams video on it was amazing, he makes great content, never would I be able to do that challenge, I don’t have the patience for it or the ability to
You can’t blame the players for how the game is designed. If anything, even trying to not die between saves is a good achievement.
I've got the plat but getting it on nightmare is next level and beyond me.
Fortnite platinum is by far the must hard one. There is no debate
Alien isolation the best horror game ever .masterpiece. i love it
it’s an amazing game!
Played this when it was first released, got to the San Cristobal medical facility and noped the fuck out 😂. Played it again this year with the missus watching and finally completed it. Absolutely amazing game; fingers crossed we one day see a sequel
😂 I know the exact part hahaha, top top game, a sequel would be amazing’
There is a way to complete mission 5 in 30 seconds
I have ps5 do u think I can play it?
Nothing gives a bravery buff quite like being watched by the woman you love
Need me a man to play horror games I’m too scared to play
I'm currently playing through the game on my own channel- and god does this game terrify me... congrats on the platinum!
Thanks! 😁 It’s a proper intense game
Don’t know what the struggle is all about. I breezed through the game with only a few deaths.
(I finished the game on easy and will never, ever attempt the platinum)
Hats off to you, sir! Been looking for a good Alien: Isolation platinum playthrough for a while, and you delivered!
Had me in the first half 😭😂 Thank you very much mate!
It's not that hard
Well yeah you played on easy…the game literally recommends you play on hard.
@@brandonsmith8653 I think the joke went over your head tbf
I finished this game on normal. That’s enough for me! Bloody impressive from you!
Thank you mate! Though I do think hard is doable for most people!
Imagine this game in VR 😂 terrifying, not only the alien rocking up but the facehuggers
Theres a VR game coming out in December and I can’t wait 😂
I consider getting the plat on this game a few years ago my greatest achievement in gaming - especially completing the game without a single death. It's the most nerve racking game ever made IMO. The sound effects are just amazing and the alien AI is so ahead of its time. Probably the most underrated game to date. Shame there wasn't a sequel.
A sequel would be brilliant, or at least creative assembly to do something else similar. Congrats on the platinum

Congrats! You have far more persistence, boldness, and tenacity than I ever could in getting that trophy!
Thank you mate!
I spent at least 90% or less crouched and almost never sprinting or standing.
Sprinting is usually a death sentence on Hard unless you’re close enough to a lift 😂
RIP Samuels and Ricardo. This game is great
The goats 🐐 Amazing game
Congrats on the platinum I hope your video will help me with my journey
Good luck mate!
One of the best survival horrors. I love jumping back to this game every now and then. I also love how you interact with each viewer. You’ve earned a new subscriber
It’s such an amazing game, even for replayability. And thank you very much I really appreciate that!
Literally just got back from the theatre Alien Romulus WAS AWESOME and am very interested in now playing the game
I saw it this week, great film, this game is the perfect of playing the movie
NGL I'm seeing the new film tomorrow, and watching this just got me absolutely pumped up! This is your best work dude, I love it!
Ahhh Morgan thank you so much man, I’m also seeing it tomorrow can’t wait 😁
I saw it today as well. It was okay I guess
I can see this channel blowing up with subscribers. Stay consistent
Hope so haha, thank you very much mate
bro i tried getting the one shot trophy but i set the game to nightmare
i still have PTSD about it
Dear god you madman 😂
@@JohnCalum i swear when i finally got the trophy i screamed of pure joy
i will defenitly do it again
Hard to believe this came out like 10 years ago now, I could never play it but alwqys happy to watch others 😆
Has aged so well, I put off going back to it for like 3 years 😅
17:12 you weren’t dead, that’s a knock animation. When having the flamethrower and just flaming the alien a bit. It’s impossible to die, you just lose health when the alien attacks.
Oh damn really? ah well, best to be safe
11:31 The android running while standing still is an easter egg for the original film. Ash did it in the movie.
Such a cool reference
Nice video man! Good quality and really interesting:)
Thank you for the kind words!
I LOVE this game. To me such a great horror game. 10/10 and a must play. I hope they do a part 2 in the future..
A sequel or another game like it would be amazing!
Just saw the new movie and played this game for the first time in years both amazing
Seeing the movie on tuesday looking forward to it! The games awesome
Best 'Hide in a cupboard simulator' I've ever played.
10/10 would hide in a cabinet again
7:53 got me good😭
😂😂
Kuhlman looks like one of my old bosses. I always enjoy watching him bite it.
😂 valid
Thought my ROR2 was open at the end lmao. great video
Love that song 😅 Thanks man

Incredible right? seems a waste that the team who developed this never went on to make anything else similar. Especially with AI that groundbreaking
Hell yeah dude I remember playing this game on the Xbox 360. Good luck playing the dlcs
No DLC Trophies 😅
@@JohnCalum really? Ah man
Fun fact you can actually get the perfect organism achievement by staying on the transit station on in chapter 2 after axel gets killed
I actually did get it like that before!
Your editing is mind blowing dude. I wish I could do this😢
Appreciate the kind words!
Absolutely fantastic video, John and great work on getting the platinum for this masterpiece. 💪🏻🏆
Thank you Geoff! Such a fantastic game 😁
@@JohnCalum It really is. I just need to strap my big boy pants on and jump back in. 🙈
Another great video, I must go back and get the Platinum on this! It’s such a good game
Thanks man! and agreed the games awesome, thoroughly enjoyed it!
2:59 yeah I’ve had nights like that… I love my wife 😊
😂
Loving the content man, keep it up! 👏
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
holy shit this games 10 years old. thats terrifyingly fast.
Crazy right? remember playing it on release
18:52, yeah no. Absolutely not. The platinum can kiss my shatter
😂😂
Great video! I'm a few short of the platinum but not up for another playthrough yet 😅
It’s an intense one I don’t blame you 😅 good luck if you decide to go back to it eventually!

10 years ild and still a master pice
Agreed!
Bought the game because of this video it looks hella fun
Thats a good sign, hope you enjoy!
How did I miss this one!! Awesome shit Meg 👊👊
Thanks meg 🙌🏻
The best pure horror game ever, definitely the best game tied to a movie ip. Sure resident evil 4 is more fun, but there's a case to be made of this being the best horror game ever.
I can totally see that, RE4 is action horror, this is straight up terrifying
Such. a. good. game. (Chef's kiss)
Agreed!
I play it again 2024 summer on Xbox series x, beat it 3 times, 2014 Xbox 360, 2015 ps4 and 2020 during covid lockdown on Xbox one X
Thats awesome man, has alot of replayability
@@JohnCalum yeah it’s a fun game surviving single player and puzzles and I sometimes get lost in the mission inside the ship
Another great video bro! Looks like we’ve both done the same game for once 👀
Haha thanks mate 😁
Nice video John!
Thank you Rob!
I swear there was a time when I was waiting for the tram at 3:12 and that s.o.b dropped in and rushed me behind the crates
I'm pretty sure that can happen lmao
@@JohnCalum went in with the “okay no deaths trophie run” mindset and the Alien took it personally
As someone who earned the platinum long ago, it was a god damn nightmare, but my god did it make me proud earning it. LETS GO LIFELONG ALIEN FANS!!! Side note the no killing humans part, yeah I let the alien do all that 😂😂😂
Haha well done mate it can be really challenging at times, and when it comes to other humans the Alien really is your bestie
We’re getting a sequel! I’m psyched
Hell yeah man
This was 🔥🔥🔥 soo much clips with what I can relate to I wish I could like this Video Twice 😂 next alien platinum will be the psvr2 game when It launches 😂

What a game. IGN will always be remembered for what they did
Those bastards...
This game is a classic of Sci fi horror I love it
Me too its so good!
Black Myth, Alien Isolation seems to give lore and immersion more priority
I’m yet to play black myth, is that a problem with it?
@@JohnCalum no spoiling, it continues the story “Journey to the west”. Nothing wrong with it, it’s fun.
Running on the spot is a nod from Alien
Very cool!
Platinumed this on PS4 years ago then recently realised it had a PS3 version too so bought it and got the platinum for that as well. No surprise that the PS4 version is far superior.
Yeah I can imagine the PS3 version is rough at times. good job on both platinums though!
fun fact for those who are just picking up this game. the more you hide the more the aliens learn, so the more you hide during the beginning and mid game, the more likely they will catch you in a hiding spot
Honestly fair fucking play … such a hard task
Thanks bro!👊🏻
I wonder how many days this was recorded over with all the T shirt changes
Actually sometimes I changed shirts multiple times a day because it was 30 degrees 🤣
There's horror games that feel the same but that game is pure anxiety, you turn it off and it takes a while for your body to go back to normal 😂
Need at least 20 minutes to calm down from what just happened
@@JohnCalum 🤣
I’m about to play this game and I e heard really crazy things. 😅 wanna watch the vid but I need to experience this firsthand.
Understandable, hope you enjoy
This game was iconic
Agreed! love it!
Best Alien game ever. Even if it's the only one I've played. Don't have the platinum though.
Fireteam is pretty great too, interested to try the others. VR one in a couple months
The flawless limited save trophy must be super hard to do on consoles while u can't really use any glitch 🤣
The trophy one shot or is there another one?
@@JohnCalum I heard there one u need to one life and limited 3 save(?) in hardest difficulty 🤣🤣
@@hmmdoh7835 fuck that 🤣
Awesome I played threw Isolation like 4 times on PlayStation and once on Switch yesterday and I still don't have the Platinum I guess I should work on that!
Definitely! It’s more than doable for anyone
Dude your content is of like some 15x your size man good job
Man thats really nice to hear, Thank you!
Nice video, do you have a full playthrough of this?
I don’t record everything so no 😅
i thought the platinum for some of the souls games were hard. This is easily one of the hardest platinum i've ever tried to get.
It pushes you, I really enjoyed it though
We. NEED. A. Sequel.
Please ask for his everyone 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Absolutely!
Is that Sigourneys actual voice?
I believe so!
I'm now cleaning up Id tags/Nostromo logs, and going for one shot and mercy and prudence, THE F*CKING NEST IS PAIN
Oh man its a real tough section
I got the plat on this last month. Wasn’t as hard as thought it would be as I took advantage of cloud saving on the zero deaths run.
I was thinking about playing this game for the plat but couldn’t find anything definitive on if you could cloud save scum it or not. I have so many other games that I was only going to play this if I could do it in one playthrough
Oh yeah didn’t think of that good idea! adds a nice checkpoint
Aliens vs Predators when
Dr Disrespect fought Aliens?
Just got this. Fucked up the no death run twice so by the end pretty much hated this game lol. Overall it was good and excited for the second
honestly if I failed it a second time I’d probably feel the same way haha
Will you do jedi fallen order 1
Eventually
My ass just has to die 100 times- i cant bother.
Is a grind...
I have a question. Regarding the flawless achievement, does the game also register the game over screen as death after accidentally killing innocent npc's?
Interesting, I’m not actually sure about that but I’m sure someone somewhere tested it out
Great video alien isolation is peak do you plan on doing avp on ps3 if so let me know if you wanna put together a group to boost multiplayer trophies one of them requires 8 people
I’d consider it at some point although its very low down on the list after the other aliens games
I feel superior after getting a platinum in this game 💀
Legend
But hard isn't the hardest difficulty, nightmare is . . .
@@TigerofRobare Hardest difficulty on the base game, Nightmare was DLC and isn’t required for the platinum
Nice one now platinum gta 3 that would awesome of you 💯
I think I’ll do the GTA Trilogy together at some point 😁

How are you playing in 60 fps on Ps5? I just bought the game and I tried so many methods but I can't get it to 60
I record in 60fps but I don't think the game was running in 60fps, unless there was a patch for it
@@JohnCalum ok thanks. There isn't a patch for it unfortunately
im going to go see the new movie, looks decent lol
I’m really looking forward to the new movie
But dude how did you Get to know how many ammos did you have? In nightmare mode I do not have map,the movement signal thing works bad and the interface ( not the one where you actually craft them)of weapons and other stuff like molotovs is invisible
So the trophy is for beating the game on Hard, not Nightmare mode, nightmare was added later on in an update, thats why 😁
Well done!!!
Thanks man!
Alien isolation is amazing.
It really is
Why did this channel removed Star Wars Outlaws platinum video?
It was more of a rant that anything, wasn’t happy with it, the full one is coming when they fix it
Обожаю эту игру, такая крутая.
How is your frame rate so good on ps5
I’m not sure? theres no settings or anything
