There we were. The same notion on everyone’s mind, whether they liked it or not. Members of the press conflicted in their reluctant eagerness to address, key developers dreading the topic altogether. It clouded the air, enough to make everyone slightly uncomfortable with its inevitability. It was the Xenomorph-impregnated elephant in the room.
“How did the reaction to Aliens: Colonial Marines affect your work on Alien: Isolation?”
I’ll be the first to admit – the question is wholly unfair. Creative Assembly has been working on Isolation for more than three years now. It had a very distinct vision for its game long before anyone knew how Colonial Marines would turn out. Still, it needed to be asked. Fair or not, Isolation will be directly compared to Colonial Marines by both critics and fans alike.
The Rockman X Sound Box collection dropped last year, and apparently it contained four never before released tracks from Mega Man X . The folks over at Rockman Corner have those tracks soundly on YouTube for you to enjoy.
The first track is an unused stage theme and is completely original. The next three are slightly re-tooled tracks that sound almost the same as the originals (Chill Penguin, Maverick Encounter, and Sigma Stage 3), but hardcore fans will be able to pick up on the slight remixes.
I wouldn't go out of my way to pick up the set for these songs, but it's nice to be able to hear them.
