Sup­port for 4K UltraHD, AMD Eye­fi­ni­ty Tech­no­lo­gy and Advan­ced DirectX® 11 Ren­de­ring Effects Bring Beau­tiful Gra­phics to a Haun­ting World

SUNNYVALE, CA — (Mar­ket­wired) — 08/23/14 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announ­ced a new tech­no­lo­gy part­ner­ship with Crea­ti­ve Assem­bly, deve­lo­per behind the high­ly-anti­ci­pa­ted “Ali­en: Iso­la­ti­on™.” Deve­lo­ped in con­junc­tion with the AMD Gam­ing Evol­ved pro­gram, “Ali­en: Iso­la­ti­on” is ful­ly opti­mi­zed for a pre­mi­um PC gam­ing expe­ri­ence, inclu­ding nati­ve sup­port for: AMD Eye­fi­ni­ty tech­no­lo­gy, 4K UltraHD, AMD Cross­Fi­re™ mul­ti-GPU tech­no­lo­gy, and a wide ran­ge of DirectX® 11 effects tun­ed for the Gra­phics Core Next archi­tec­tu­re in recent AMD Rade­on™ GPUs and AMD Acce­le­ra­ted Pro­ces­sing Units.

“The AMD Gam­ing Evol­ved pro­gram is com­mit­ted to making games look gre­at and run well for all PC gamers,” said Rit­che Cor­pus, direc­tor of ISV Gam­ing and Alli­ances, AMD. “By working with tru­ly talen­ted deve­lo­pers like Crea­ti­ve Assem­bly, we deli­ver on that com­mit­ment with fun and beau­tiful games like ‘Ali­en: Iso­la­ti­on,’ which give PC gamers the high-end tech­no­lo­gy they deserve.”

Play­ers will dis­co­ver the true mea­ning of fear in “Ali­en: Iso­la­ti­on,” a sur­vi­val hor­ror set in an atmo­sphe­re of con­stant dread and mor­tal dan­ger. Fif­teen years after the events of the “Ali­en™” moti­on pic­tu­re, Ellen Ripley’s daugh­ter Aman­da enters a despe­ra­te batt­le for sur­vi­val, on a mis­si­on to unra­vel the truth behind her mother’s dis­ap­pearance. As Aman­da, play­ers will navi­ga­te through an incre­asing­ly vola­ti­le world con­fron­ted on all sides by a pani­cked, despe­ra­te popu­la­ti­on and an unpre­dic­ta­ble, ruthl­ess Ali­en. Under­powered and under­pre­pared, play­ers must sca­ven­ge resour­ces, impro­vi­se solu­ti­ons and use their wits, not just to suc­ceed in their mis­si­on, but to sim­ply stay alive.

“ ‘Ali­en: Iso­la­ti­on’ is a game that plun­ges play­ers into a haun­ting, ter­ri­fy­ing atmo­sphe­re,” said Cli­ve Grat­ton, Lead Pro­gramm­er, Crea­ti­ve Assem­bly. “The visu­al expe­ri­ence plays such a fun­da­men­tal role in the ‘feel’ of the game that we went the extra mile to craft an in-house engi­ne that ful­ly arti­cu­la­tes our visi­on. AMD has gra­cious­ly hel­ped us aug­ment that engi­ne for the PC with a num­ber of effects, such as cont­act-har­dening shadows, com­pu­te-based par­tic­les, HDAO and DirectX 11 tes­sel­la­ti­on. Sup­port for immersi­on and per­for­mance tech­no­lo­gies like AMD Eye­fi­ni­ty and Cross­Fi­re tech­no­lo­gies make the who­le PC expe­ri­ence even better!”

Gamers loo­king to try the rich gra­phics and ter­ri­fy­ing envi­ron­ments of “Ali­en: Iso­la­ti­on” for them­sel­ves can secu­re a com­pli­men­ta­ry copy by purcha­sing an eli­gi­ble AMD Rade­on™ R9 Series gra­phics card from a retail­er par­ti­ci­pa­ting in the new Never Sett­le: Space Edi­ti­on pro­mo­ti­on begin­ning Sept. 2, 2014.
