Console Monster writes: "Alien’s translation from celluloid to joypad has been a trial, to say the least. The series that began with director Ridley Scott’s eponymous 1979 masterpiece is an icon of cinema, while sadly the games conceived in its image have fallen short of the mark. 2013’s tragic stillbirth of a game, Aliens: Colonial Marines signalled a ‘shit or get off the pot’ moment for SEGA and the IP, after roundly disgusting players and critics alike. The Alien games have been entirely missing the point of the series from which they were spawned, until now. TCA have wound back the clocks and brought the focus away from the sequels and back to Scott, writer O’Bannon and lead artist H.R. Giger’s vision, and Alien Isolation is all the stronger a survival horror experience for it, and perhaps even one of the most enticing titles of the year so far."
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror game.
I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.
Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.
Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.
It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
The Alien franchise has had a long history in video games, but few games have come quite as close to being perfect as Alien: Isolation.
This sounds great as after 10 years; the soundtrack is coming in multiple formats.
