History Trivia / AlienIsolation

** Most of the major characters including Samuels, Taylor, Waits and Marlow resemble their respective voice actors. Ironically, this is averted with Amanda, who is physically modeled after actress Kezia Burrows and Creator/SigourneyWeaver's own mother but voiced by Andrea Deck.

* TheWikiRule: [[http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Xenopedia]] has information on ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'', ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'', and ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator''.

** Many of the faces for random [=NPCs=] in the game were modelled off of Creative Assembly staff members. [[https://www.twitch.tv/viking_blonde A streamer who used to work there]] had the surreal experience of having to crawl through the game among the mutilated corpses of his former coworkers.

* InMemoriam: The game is dedicated to Simon Franco, who was a programmer for the game, who died during the development of the game.

* TheOtherDarrin: Dave B. Mitchell replaces Ian Holm as Ash.

* ShrugOfGod: [[spoiler: Whether Amanda had a FaceFullOfAlienWingWong or not while she was AllWebbedUp]] near the end of the game is kind of ambiguous. Gary Napper at Creative Assembly said that the ambiguity was intentional, and they do not have a fixed idea of how that situation exactly shook out.
** [[spoiler: Although it should be noted that Napper also stated he personally does not believe Amanda was infected, citing the fact that when she awakens the closest egg is still closed.]]
** And, you know, she [[spoiler: dies 30 or so years later of natural causes, as stated in ''Aliens''.]]

** The fact that [[spoiler: Facehuggers are still hostile after this point and eggs will even hatch when you approach them seems to suggest she wasn't impregnated. Facehuggers are stated to have the ability to sense when someone is infected and avoid them so as to not waste themselves trying to infect someone already infected.]]

** [[spoiler: The fact that there are multiple Xenomorphs originally was not going to be a surprise. Ripley would've spotted one during the cut prologue on the ''Solace'', and Kuhlman's unspecified "illness" was going to be a chestburster.]]

** In the initial draft, Amanda would have agreed [[spoiler: Marlow's plan with to blow up the station and would have only asked for more time to evacuate survivors.]]

** Amanda would have given an ending speech identical to her mother's in the first movie only with [[spoiler: Marlow, Waits, Ricardo, Samuels and Taylor replacing Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Dallas]].

* RoleReprise: Barring Ian Holm, all of cast members from the [[Film/{{Alien}} first]] ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' movie reprise their roles in DLC switch events started after Kane's death.

* ReferencedBy: The infamous ''Film/{{Alien}}'' stageplay by North Bergen High School uses footage of the vents from ''Alien: Isolation'' for the scene where Lambert is caught in the vents by the Alien.

*** The artbook shows concept art for the co-op mode with a synthetic (likely an earlier draft version of Samuels) as the second player, who could wield an axe and a gun.

** A co-op mode made it to the concept art stage, with Samuels as the other player character.
