I love the fact that you took the time to get creepy as hell pictures of the Working Joes to go along with the video. They were easily one of the scariest parts of the game.
@@jeffumbach that's the creepy part. To the Joe, the humans were the ones malfunctioning. "You're becoming hysterical." As the Joe has his fingers around your throat.
Hell, if that's an option, give me the Roy Batty combat model. Sure, I'd be screwed once he goes nuts, but let's be honest. Any of these synthetics going haywire is going to end in my death, but at least Roy wants to live, not just follow some faulty wiring or ambiguous orders. Edit: to borrow from another famous series James Cameron was involved with, I could quite possibly bargain or reason my way out of Roy's rampage.
@@little_hunt3r You can see an engineer an Blade Runner 2049 th-cam.com/video/5hqaqQ4Mb38/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BabbleTop. That was literally the 1st YT video I found, so idk if "confirmed" is true. BR2049 takes places 40 to 50 years before Prometheus, so how all the dots exactly connect is for more dedicated minds than mine.
Jacen Starhunter by far! I found alien theory first, and have checked a few of the others during dry spells when content slowed, but I always come here first!
I want a working joe or three, they’d be a huge help, and despite their lack of sentience sound like nice people to talk to, and I think Seegson cared more about helping people.
I need to play this game at some point. The notion of a competing robotics company taking pride in androids that are less human looking is interesting. I always felt like Weyland created androids with marketability as a secondary consideration, he was obsessed with creating artificial humans, he wanted to be the first to cross the uncanny valley. I could imagine a world where both kinds of androids are useful, the Seegson models are perfectly suited to manual labour, where as the Weyland androids would be useful in situations where human interaction is a key part of their job. Caring for the elderly, disabled, or children for example, they are perfectly suited to companionship. As an autistic person myself, a Walter would afford me a kind of independence I don't otherwise have, even the best human caretakers are only human, as such they aren't entirely selfless, they get tired, they have bad days. With a Walter I wouldn't have to be subjected to such indignities. Also it would be nice just to have a companion that thinks and talks the way I do, neurotypicals can be confusing.
I thought the joke was that since Seegson couldn't compete with WY they simply marketed their inferior androids as such. One wonders how many people really were paranoid of the synthetics given that nobody you run into in the game and Amanda herself don't seem to even care when it's mentioned that Samuels is one (which was a weirdly nonchalant reveal to the player, it felt like there was a cutscene missing somewhere.)
@@303Thatoneguy there is the mobile version if your phone is powerful enough (doesn't need all that power to run well + controller and keyboard support) (iOS + android + iPadOS)
I would choose a Weyland-Yutani Android just because they are less off-putting and more human-like, and overall would be more comfortable to be around.
I'd have to go with Seegson because of what they stated as a sales pitch. You KNOW you're working with an android and not sleeping with one (like the Captain of the Prometheus when he was trying to nail Weyland's daughter)
Hmm, I think she called him "father" because a moment before she said "a king has his reign, and then he dies", and knowing what we know about absolute monarchy, she was suggesting that she would take over as head of the Company after Weyland's death, as a princess suddenly becoming a queen. Whether or not she was biologically related to Weyland was not the issue in question.
4:14 depends on the job. For elder care a Working Joe could be very useful. It wouldn't get tired of a person with Alzheimer's telling them the same story over and over again or asking the same questions over and over again. The Working Joe could clean up after the elderly person and remind them to take their medicine, tell them to not call relatives at 2 or 3 in the morning, etc.
Alien:Isolation is set up to be a sequel to Alien. I see it as Alien 1.5 (with it fitting between Alien and Aliens). EVERYONE wants a sequel to this game!!! A movie based on the game would be awesome and could set-up a non-main movie franchise.
Unfortunatly it seems to me that the game "Alien isolation" is much more like a continuation of the franchise than the last two films of ser Ridley. I want to believe that Ridley will be drawn to the level of the game and can be made not a bad movie continuation of the game.

Dude, you rock. I stumbled upon your channel once and months later I’ve subscribed and have watched almost all of your videos. Often imitated, never duplicated there are a few other channels like yours but not at the same caliber of detail, editing, subjects, and above all - voice over narration. I can hear the ingénue in each of your personal messages at the end thanking the audience. I wish you the best here on this channel and any other projects you have in store for the future.
Brilliant content and narrative.Always look forward to alerts of new vids from your channel.You've managed to keep hardcore fans involved in the franchise,in a way that puts Ridley's current attempts to shame.
Personally I wouldn't mind having a realistic Weyland-Yutani android. I don't see it as much different as having a butler or personal assistant for example. However, I would try to be considerate, just out of politeness and habit. A lot of things like "is that okay" "how are you" "please" "thank you" etc. even if it didn't matter.
As a recent first time buyer of one of W-Y's synthetic persons I am completely satisfied with its programming, functionality and nearly human interface. However I would never have spent the astronomical price if not for one factor. Your tech advisors instructed me in the use of a special synapse "box" (actually a thumbnail sized chip) that came separate from the unit itself. It is only to be used for one reason and can only be used once. If I should ever feel the need to permanently decommission my unit I need only install the box into the unit's receiver port located under the left arm. As the advisors said, the box will automatically begin the shutdown process and I am confident this fail safe measure will be sufficient should I need it. It is listed as being covered by the guarantee that came with the unit. However, part of its instruction manual stipulates that the box must never be shown to or its purpose explained to the unit. Now I'm wondering why. I seemed to have misplaced the box. The synth has begun asking odd questions regarding the nature of God and such. Please advise.
I must also say that I truly enjoy listening to your hard work on youtube. It is a ritual during my 1 hour to and from work in my car, that I put the phone on bluetooth and listen to some of Alien Theory vids. It's a magnificant work you do
As long as there isnt xenomorph or anything the 'company' is intetested in, a Bishop artifical person would be nice. Definatly NOT a Working Joe. They scare the crap out of me.
It seems to me that Working Joe has a place to be and quite organically blended into the atmosphere of the game. The fact that Weiland Ytani has a competitor, though weak, only adds a sense of reality and a weaker competitor will naturally have militarily weak technical capabilities. And the fact that Working Joe someone is scary, so it's fine. Genre of game survival horror is not it? The developers during the presentation answered questions from the audience, one of them sounded like this: "Do not you think that the game turned out too terrible?" which was followed by the answer "This is not our problem ..."
I know this is six years late, but it's actually called automatonophobia is when you have a fear of robots, humanoid ones that is, and animatronics and mannequins. And the Working Joes are a mix of robots and mannequins, so you're getting scares from both.
I would have choose a Working Joe, they have a certain charm after all! Thank you for your videos, you helped me to understand the Alien franchise. I've watched it as a kid, but since I've played Alien isolation (great great game, thank you Creative Assembly) I've been eager to watch the first Alien because the game has the essence of the first movie. Then I've watched the whole franchise but as the different movies have been made throught nearly 30 years with differents directors, it is hard to fully understand what happened between. Thanks to your channel, we can really appreciate the Alien universe. Thank you
I would buy a R2-D2 unit. They do not have arms. They cannot hold a knife. They have extreme trouble with staircases. And they look exactly like what the are, a machine. These humanoid machines are a extreme worry. What if they get a virus that makes them into psychopathic killer. Machines don't sleep, but you do. You could wake up with a 200 pound robot stabbing you in the head with a kitchen knife.
I would buy a Wayland-Utani model android as a companion. Besides a disability making life difficult, it also means no children. So a companion android that can respond to human emotion would be a wonderful thing. I'm also a software developer, so I figure my future equivalent would be able to scan an android for any malicious programming before buying. It's also a sentient creature, so I would do what I can to find a meaningful existence for it. The only reason David turned out the way he did is that everyone treated him poorly.
I think the only real mistake SEEGSON made was giving the Working Joe a human head. The Uncanny Valley effect has long ago been understood. An inhuman head would be both easier to maintain and produce less friction in human interaction. SEEGSON could have even taken this further, with optional modules to install on its head (such as a display-panel or an external antennae).
Great vid! I would have to go with a Weyland-Yutani Bishop model. The David series and Ash - Hyperdyne 128-U2s(?) are too homicidal for me. Clearly they either go insane or are able to be corrupted. Also the Working Joes are corruptible but also their appearance is far too creepy. With the rubber skin and eerie eyes.
I love Your videos buddy , your knowledge and your interest at giving us something to chew over and digest. You keep me gripped with excitement when You put out videos. Thank You
MAn I Love your videos! There are always so mysterious, with so many details on each stroy and with that music in the background! I'm glad that you've decided to finish this film despite the Hybrid Network issue... KEEP UP MAN!!!
If it were for banal repetitive tasks that would require the dexterity of a human form I'd get one as supplemental help sure. The Samuel Delany novel "Nova" takes place in a future where humans can interface with their technology via plugs in their wrists, base of the neck and lower spine. The bodies nervous system run the machines. Delany explains the reason and necessity for the invention of this ability in his universe is because over time humans wanted to feel a reconnect with "real" work that simulated the experience their ancestors got from doing hands on manual labor and that satisfactory feeling that they actually accomplished "a days work". Its a different take on the idea that in the future humans will become fully reliant on androids and how that may turn out much differently than conventional sci fi depicts. So I'd probably get an android but still do some manual jobs myself just to keep sharp and not too complacent just because of the convenience a synthetic would offer.
To the creator, pls make a video about the characters in Alien isolation like Ransome, and the reasons for what they did their missions aboard Sevastopol station. Thank you!
i would buy a wayland yutani android because of the more advanced software making it harder to corrupt and I've noticed that wayland yutani models are more interactive so i would feel more comfortable talking to one instead of a seegson model
Alien Theory you are probably my favorite TH-camr in the entire land of TH-cam. I know you're thankful that you're a really solid dude. I really think you should get together with Ridley Scott so he can consult with you before filming his next movie LOL
Seriously... you kind of remind me of myself LOL. Anyway again your work is really truly fantastic and you should go to bed each and every night knowing not thinking but really knowing that you were making a tremendous impact on my life and I'm sure the life of many others so you should feel good about that
I'd like one with Lance's NYC attitude he displayed during the filming of ALIENS when the British crew member kept getting too friendly handsy with him and he was going to tell the guy, "...you keep touching me like that I'm gonna break your arm."
It would depend on the context of my needs. Weyland yutani's models with their higher level of cognitive sophistication seem like people to me, and i would treat them as such. Since i consider them people i would not buy one unless i wanted someone to act as my equal or companion. So for a scientific endeavor in which i want to consult another person ( and to check my math ) i would get a Wey yu model and treat them like a coworker. A working joe i would have fewer compunctions ordering about unless it began to display self awareness and curiosity, then i would consider it a person. so i would get one for manual labor and maintenance. But more honestly i am not sure i would get either since it would feel like slavery.
First ever comment here, love your work and explanations. Would love to see one on ripleys clone powers from Alien resurrection. Great video, and I'd pick neither android. Time has shown us that the good ones are the exception, bishop we miss you lol
You can infer from the narrative that the Working Joes were the result of a last-ditch effort to recast negatives as positives, and that their development came at a time when Seegson Synthetics, the company that made them, was risk averse and strapped for cash. From collecting journal entries in the various terminals scattered throughout Sevastapol, you can tell that Seegson as a supplier of interstellar drives, space ports and androids was past its prime and had lost ground to Weyland Yutani both in sales and R&D. They not only suffered a lack of funding but imagination, and the Working Joes, which had been their best attempt at android assistants were surpassed by the lifelike and creatively gifted Weyland and Hyperdyne synthetics, Seegson must have felt like it was holding a Zune next to an iPod. So in a move, that's counter to everything marketing and design has ever taught, they tried to push these good-enough androids the way GoPhone tried to sell their surpluss-stock clamshell phones in the smart phone era. It was pretty shabby and the results reflected it. So just like there's a landfill full of Atari ET cartridges, the rejects of the android market wander about Sevastopol, unwanted by anyone and only a source of desperation for those left in the crumbling tower.
I'd be tempted to buy one of each model. A Weyland-Yutani type with an attractive female appearance to help with the housework and a Working Joe to actually do the housework I pretend the first one is for.
A Seegson Joe for chores and a Weiland android for pleasure :) (there were "Dianas", too, not just "Davids", right?). And I'm holding the kill switch for both, just in case.
George Scarlateanu wait a sec,you know what,I don't even wanna know what your definition of pleasure is But it's fucking a robot,then again,several actual sex robots have been made in Japan,but they barely have personality.
I have to wonder if the Weyland androids have a standarised appearance and if so, why? As far as I can tell, they all look like Fassbender for decades until they have more randomised appearances in Alien and Aliens. That said Ash was probably custom made and maybe all Bishops look the same, we just don't know. I think this is the rare example of a world with male romantic robots but not female ones, at least according to the Covenant marketing. I think in reality we will probably be able to customise our androids as we see fit.
Weyu's synthetics r not anatomically correct so they would have limited capabilities for providing pleasure. As for their look. I bet the Walter model appearance was used to save money and reputation. They already had an appearance and needed to recall the David model so they used what they already had at the same time replacing the faulty model with a dependable one that looked the same so it would replace the memory of the David model in the public's eye.
I've read somewhere that Working Joes being easily distinguished from humans is just an excuse of Seegson for not being able to produce top of the line androids like WY to compete with them.
I think Alien: Isolation was a great game. It brought back the Alien franchise to games, the story is amazing and the Alien is so cool. I really hope they continue the story. Also, your channel is amazing, congratulations for the good work :)
Provided you could afford to pick between a WY model or a Working Joe. The way Seegson attempted to market the Working Joes (as a more affordable alternative) implies that WY androids are expensive. Which would make sense, give that they are cutting edge. So i would imagine that there would be colonies and stations out there that may need androids, but simply can not afford WY models. For them, the Working Joe may be a sufficient and affordable solution.
So I bought the Free League board game Alien and have been watching all your videos for info and reference to the universe that is Alien so thank you for all your hard work. I would pick an AP because why not.
It seems to me that Working Joe has a place to be and quite organically blended into the atmosphere of the game. The fact that Weiland Ytani has a competitor, though weak, only adds a sense of reality and a weaker competitor will naturally have militarily weak technical capabilities. And the fact that Working Joe someone is scary, so it's fine. Genre of game survival horror is not it? The developers during the presentation answered questions from the audience, one of them sounded like this: "Do not you think that the game turned out too terrible?" which was followed by the answer "This is not our problem ..."
The two droids brands are probably incompatible with each other. I'm thinking something like I-Phone and Android applications. Weyland-Yutani like to keep all their programing , tech and manufacturing to themselves. The Joe would be the cheapest and easiest to jailbreak ,(If that is the right term), and add whatever programs you like. Seegson are happy to share their tech and knowledge. Someone would be able to come up with these programs you want.

Well yeah but that would mean you bought a person.

It's also a sentient creature, so I would do what I can to find a meaningful existence for it. The only reason David turned out the way he did is that everyone treated him poorly.
Best Alien lore videos out there 👌🔌
I hardly ever comment on here anymore, but thank you for your videos bro. I truly do appreciate them and all your work you put into them.
I think the only real mistake SEEGSON made was giving the Working Joe a human head. The Uncanny Valley effect has long ago been understood.
An inhuman head would be both easier to maintain and produce less friction in human interaction. SEEGSON could have even taken this further, with optional modules to install on its head (such as a display-panel or an external antennae).
"I wanted Amanda Ripley to have closure."
Great vid! I would have to go with a Weyland-Yutani Bishop model.
The David series and Ash - Hyperdyne 128-U2s(?) are too homicidal for me. Clearly they either go insane or are able to be corrupted. Also the Working Joes are corruptible but also their appearance is far too creepy. With the rubber skin and eerie eyes.
I enjoy all the the videos you’ve done informative and immersive.
If I saw working joe in dark alley .... I will run like hell!
Yeah if he has red eyes. Good day.
2:59 I think this archive log (#124) can be read on the computer found in the very end of Mission 13.
I love Your videos buddy , your knowledge and your interest at giving us something to chew over and digest.
You keep me gripped with excitement when You put out videos.
Thank You
I think the best part about alien theory is that he doesn't even really bring up TH-cam drama
Great vid. Glad you did put this out in the end.
MAn I Love your videos! There are always so mysterious, with so many details on each stroy and with that music in the background! I'm glad that you've decided to finish this film despite the Hybrid Network issue... KEEP UP MAN!!!
1:44 “safety checks”
If it were for banal repetitive tasks that would require the dexterity of a human form I'd get one as supplemental help sure. The Samuel Delany novel "Nova" takes place in a future where humans can interface with their technology via plugs in their wrists, base of the neck and lower spine. The bodies nervous system run the machines. Delany explains the reason and necessity for the invention of this ability in his universe is because over time humans wanted to feel a reconnect with "real" work that simulated the experience their ancestors got from doing hands on manual labor and that satisfactory feeling that they actually accomplished "a days work". Its a different take on the idea that in the future humans will become fully reliant on androids and how that may turn out much differently than conventional sci fi depicts.
So I'd probably get an android but still do some manual jobs myself just to keep sharp and not too complacent just because of the convenience a synthetic would offer.
Keep it up dude. Love this channel!
New to the channel. Have to say these are the best videos I never knew I wanted.
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying! :D
Amazing video as always I was really waiting for this one!!!
To the creator, pls make a video about the characters in Alien isolation like Ransome, and the reasons for what they did their missions aboard Sevastopol station. Thank you!
You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs love your videos
Thank you for another great video and the effort you put into all of them!!!
Awesome stuff Keep doing what your doing fella. Got platinum trophy for isolation one of my most satisfying
i would buy a wayland yutani android because of the more advanced software making it harder to corrupt and I've noticed that wayland yutani models are more interactive so i would feel more comfortable talking to one instead of a seegson model
Alien Theory you are probably my favorite TH-camr in the entire land of TH-cam. I know you're thankful that you're a really solid dude. I really think you should get together with Ridley Scott so he can consult with you before filming his next movie LOL
Seriously... you kind of remind me of myself LOL. Anyway again your work is really truly fantastic and you should go to bed each and every night knowing not thinking but really knowing that you were making a tremendous impact on my life and I'm sure the life of many others so you should feel good about that
Alien Theory: id want a Bishop Model. I could listen to lance's voice all day!
I agree!
I'd like one with Lance's NYC attitude he displayed during the filming of ALIENS when the British crew member kept getting too friendly handsy with him and he was going to tell the guy, "...you keep touching me like that I'm gonna break your arm."
A South Korean Robot if Rocket-Man blows us all up u wont ever get to experience that:/
I think everyone would want a Bishop.
I would buy a Walter model for sure!
I want to buy Samuels XD
I thought he was a nice guy for a synthetic
We (the Fans) want more daily "Content"........ Cause you are the best ;)
daily content is what I seek as well ,,, et carter
It would depend on the context of my needs.
Weyland yutani's models with their higher level of cognitive sophistication seem like people to me, and i would treat them as such. Since i consider them people i would not buy one unless i wanted someone to act as my equal or companion. So for a scientific endeavor in which i want to consult another person ( and to check my math ) i would get a Wey yu model and treat them like a coworker.
A working joe i would have fewer compunctions ordering about unless it began to display self awareness and curiosity, then i would consider it a person. so i would get one for manual labor and maintenance.
But more honestly i am not sure i would get either since it would feel like slavery.
i love the Alien and predator films . this channel is one of if not the best.. you and Alien hybrid are most good
First ever comment here, love your work and explanations. Would love to see one on ripleys clone powers from Alien resurrection. Great video, and I'd pick neither android. Time has shown us that the good ones are the exception, bishop we miss you lol
You can infer from the narrative that the Working Joes were the result of a last-ditch effort to recast negatives as positives, and that their development came at a time when Seegson Synthetics, the company that made them, was risk averse and strapped for cash.
From collecting journal entries in the various terminals scattered throughout Sevastapol, you can tell that Seegson as a supplier of interstellar drives, space ports and androids was past its prime and had lost ground to Weyland Yutani both in sales and R&D. They not only suffered a lack of funding but imagination, and the Working Joes, which had been their best attempt at android assistants were surpassed by the lifelike and creatively gifted Weyland and Hyperdyne synthetics, Seegson must have felt like it was holding a Zune next to an iPod. So in a move, that's counter to everything marketing and design has ever taught, they tried to push these good-enough androids the way GoPhone tried to sell their surpluss-stock clamshell phones in the smart phone era.
It was pretty shabby and the results reflected it. So just like there's a landfill full of Atari ET cartridges, the rejects of the android market wander about Sevastopol, unwanted by anyone and only a source of desperation for those left in the crumbling tower.
With Seegson, there’s always someone behind you...
I'd be tempted to buy one of each model. A Weyland-Yutani type with an attractive female appearance to help with the housework and a Working Joe to actually do the housework I pretend the first one is for.
Very interesting episode Alien Theory !
I really hope they make a sequel somehow
Same
Same
A Seegson Joe for chores and a Weiland android for pleasure :) (there were "Dianas", too, not just "Davids", right?). And I'm holding the kill switch for both, just in case.
George Scarlateanu oh boy "pleasure" huh 🌚
George Scarlateanu wait a sec,you know what,I don't even wanna know what your definition of pleasure is
But it's fucking a robot,then again,several actual sex robots have been made in Japan,but they barely have personality.
Of course a basic pleasure model would be available
I have to wonder if the Weyland androids have a standarised appearance and if so, why? As far as I can tell, they all look like Fassbender for decades until they have more randomised appearances in Alien and Aliens. That said Ash was probably custom made and maybe all Bishops look the same, we just don't know. I think this is the rare example of a world with male romantic robots but not female ones, at least according to the Covenant marketing.
I think in reality we will probably be able to customise our androids as we see fit.
Weyu's synthetics r not anatomically correct so they would have limited capabilities for providing pleasure. As for their look. I bet the Walter model appearance was used to save money and reputation. They already had an appearance and needed to recall the David model so they used what they already had at the same time replacing the faulty model with a dependable one that looked the same so it would replace the memory of the David model in the public's eye.
Love your channel and the videos are amazing. Keep up the good work 👍
Excellent intel, well done, Alien Theory ... et carter
Thank you for this Video, it has clarified some things I was thinking.
Love the video. Keep up the good work !!!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Your effort with your videos is always a pleasure you dont need to do an assembly line
I've read somewhere that Working Joes being easily distinguished from humans is just an excuse of Seegson for not being able to produce top of the line androids like WY to compete with them.
Great videos man, keep it up.
I would buy David... Michael Fassbender can do what ever he wants with me lmao
Don't let the bed bugs bite...
I think Alien: Isolation was a great game. It brought back the Alien franchise to games, the story is amazing and the Alien is so cool. I really hope they continue the story. Also, your channel is amazing, congratulations for the good work :)
I would by any means choose a Bishop 341-B Model :D
Shoutout to the Alien Isolation soundtrack notably "Sevastopol Mayhem" and "Escape from Habitation Decks"
i'd end up trying to do to a Working Joe what Lister tried to do to Kryten.
I would want a walter model synthetic for the reason that I would be able to have assistance with tasks, yet also someone to talk to.
The working joe is our future for exactly like you said.... i hope people would know they were creating an enemy and not a helper
Provided you could afford to pick between a WY model or a Working Joe. The way Seegson attempted to market the Working Joes (as a more affordable alternative) implies that WY androids are expensive. Which would make sense, give that they are cutting edge. So i would imagine that there would be colonies and stations out there that may need androids, but simply can not afford WY models. For them, the Working Joe may be a sufficient and affordable solution.
Those combat synthetics from AvP were cool also.
So I bought the Free League board game Alien and have been watching all your videos for info and reference to the universe that is Alien so thank you for all your hard work. I would pick an AP because why not.
Neither don't trust synths from either company
It seems to me that Working Joe has a place to be and quite organically blended into the atmosphere of the game. The fact that Weiland Ytani has a competitor, though weak, only adds a sense of reality and a weaker competitor will naturally have militarily weak technical capabilities. And the fact that Working Joe someone is scary, so it's fine. Genre of game survival horror is not it? The developers during the presentation answered questions from the audience, one of them sounded like this: "Do not you think that the game turned out too terrible?" which was followed by the answer "This is not our problem ..."
If I were to buy any droid, I would initially buy a Joe, but then I would download some Weyland-Yutani software and customize the Joe to fit my needs.
The two droids brands are probably incompatible with each other. I'm thinking something like I-Phone and Android applications. Weyland-Yutani like to keep all their programing , tech and manufacturing to themselves. The Joe would be the cheapest and easiest to jailbreak ,(If that is the right term), and add whatever programs you like. Seegson are happy to share their tech and knowledge. Someone would be able to come up with these programs you want.
+Autumn Anne maybe I can repair a Joe using parts of a Wey-Yu model. Say, does that qualify as reverse-engineering?
You always know a working Joe🤖
I buy the wayland androids there better in tech and look less frightening than the cheap and inferior working joes androids
