Alien: Isolation pre-order price roundup, PC requirements

Alien: Isolation lands on the PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on 7 October 2014.

“It’s the Alien game that we’ve always wanted to play and we can’t wait to let everyone get their hands on it,” said the team behind the survival-horror title.

The first-person shooter hopes to capture the “horror and tension” evoked by the 1979 film directed by Ridley Scott, and the developers have promised a “truly terrifying” opponent in the game’s alien.

That said, let’s take a look at how much it will cost to poop your pants in 1080p.
