One of the keys to the game starring Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, was her perspective in the first person, which helped to favor the tense and almost stifling atmosphere proposed by the aforementioned British company. At first it was not going to be like that. But the YouTube channel called NeoGamer has released a video that shows us the first prototype of Alien Isolation, when the brand was registered in 2013.

The second part of the video shows a different way. It is a trailer of the beta version of Alien Isolation.

The Destructoid site managed to record the material shown, although not with the best quality. Then you can watch the off-screen video where you can appreciate how it would have been Alien: Isolation with structure in the third person. The game's creative director, Alistair Hope, commented, "The difference between the first and third person perspective is extraordinary.
