Update

In a statement sent to VG247 and other outlets, SEGA said those who have downloaded patch v1.02 and are experiencing problems can revert revert to v1.01 via the following steps:

Uninstall Alien: Isolation from your PS4, being careful to retain your save games.
Reinstall Alien: Isolation to your PS4.
Download and install patch v1.01 from the PlayStation Network.
Your game should now work correctly.

A new patch for PS4 will be released soon to address the original cut-scene issues.
