Alien: Isolation's creative director talks through the classic film in this audio commentary track (exclusive)

Think back to how many times you’ve seen your favorite movie. Five? Ten? My friend Sid once got on my case for “only” seeing the original Total Recall about a half-dozen times. But his boast-worthy 50 viewings of that Arnold Schwarzenegger thriller is nothing compared to how often Al Hope has watched Alien.

Hope, the creative lead at developer Creative Assembly, has seen the 1979 sci-fi classic over 100 times. Granted, some of those are attributed to research. Not that wink-wink “research” that people use to excuse time pursuing extracurricular activities but legitimate “I need to do this for my job” work.
