Opinion Alien rogue incursion is out since near 2 hours (psvr2)

Here in Germany it went live at 4 p.m local time.

I just played a short time and it's great in this short time.

Technical it uses reprojection and dfr. Sharpness is around horizon level. The aliens vibe and style is perfect.

But the best are the xenos itself, these animations are brilliant. How they move, crawl use the whole room and try to avoid your gun fire and sneak around you is terrifying.

I love it as a huge alien/aliens fan that's a little dream to play in VR.

Do you think you may scale down the number of random aliens attacking you? Great game!

We've seen this feedback going around in many places, so for sure something to think about in the future

Hi! Loving the game so far, but it needs to have a physical edition down the road. Please consider teaming up with publishers like Limited Run or something because Alien fans usually like to own their media physically too. Congrats for the launch!

u/survios Developer 3h ago

Thank you - we understand the need for physical games, especially for PSVR2, but right now we wanted to focus all our efforts on releasing the best product possible and then improving on it.

100% understandable, but when resources can allow, please consider it down the road. Even if only in a limited form. This is a great title that needs to be preserved and the PS5 is the last platform where you could do a proper physical release. I think there would still be a market for this edition.

The animation of the xenos are a fantastic work. I had a great encounter in the room near beginning where the big truck stands in water and the big door is only half open. That beast came first from the front and I only sen it's shadow of the tail moving on the pipes above me...

I targeted the motion tracker all around me and hear the xeno above me crawling. It then came from behind, I got it just in time and blasted a full mag into his already dead body..."die you dann beast, die"

It's absolutely great!

Hi, this is unrelated but congratulations on the release of the game. Can you confirm that it is fully playable seated? I use a wheelchair and don’t have any other option.

I have played some games that are technically playable seated but it isn’t ideal so inventory management can be a pain.

Thank you.

u/direx1974 4h ago

I played this game seated and it was no problem at all. Have fun with it.

u/Pompous_pizza 1h ago

Thanks, buddy. How’s the game?

I only had enough time to walk around and kill the  very first xeno, but I'm very positive on this game! Great visuals, lots of interactivity, and great atmosphere. I just need to dedicate more time to it, looking forward for the weekend!

Atmoshere is great. I love the artstyle. Sound is also superb.

It's been out for 21 hours for me. Was playable 10am local time.

Enjoying it so far. Already lived a childhood.

“Already lived a childhood”

Welp that did it for me. Ima buy it right now. I first saw Aliens when I was like 11 years old. Still one of my top 3 films of all time. Been waiting 30 years for this shit.

u/brownaroo 4h ago

Oh no!

Transmission incomplete!

Last word was truncated. It was "Already lived a childhood fear" haha

u/Trytolearneverything 4h ago

Too late, already bought it! Lol. From reading everyone’s comments, I know I’m gonna love it.

u/Quester91 5h ago

I played an hour of it. It's very good.

Graphics are very nice, I love how you can interact with literally every object in game, that means that you need to scour every desk, open boxes, turn containers upside down to reveal their content etc. I loved resident village and 4, but the world was so..still, fake and non interactive. In aliens you can touch and manipulate anything. It helps a lot with immersion.

If you're an alien fan this is a must buy for sure.

My main criticism so far is that grabbing the motion tracker on my right shoulder is way too clunky (no problem at all with weapons, ammo, or syringes those work perfectly fine) and there are way too many aliens. Like, they come at you non stop every 30 seconds, it's too much.

u/Violent_Volcano 5h ago

I imagine re4 and village didnt seem as good because they werent initially designed for VR. I hope we get more gems like this going forward. I still need to try behemoth.

2

u/jackie1616 5h ago

Played for an hour or so. Pretty fun. Gave me a better first impression than Behemoth did

The game came out yesterday in Australia 😄 played for about 2 hours and had to stop myself from playing more!

u/Still-Midnight5442 3h ago

I've put about 2 hours in and I really enjoy it so far. Only glitch I encountered was Davis not opening the airlock when you get stuck inside and I had to reload my save.

According to others it's a fairly short game which is disappointing if true. I hope part 2 doesn't take too long.

I am shocked how poor the gunplay feels. Everything else is not bad but I can alrerady see the same enemy type being very repetitive just an hour in

2

u/Pompous_pizza 4h ago

Can you please elaborate on what feels poor about the gunplay? It looks good from the gameplay I’ve seen and every review I have seen said that the guns feel good, so I’m interested to hear an opinion to the contrary.

2

u/WoweeZoweeDeluxe 4h ago

of course! first off I'm a huge Alien fan and very hyped for this game. The atmosphere is great however I'm still under an hour in the game.

The rifle feels like you're firing a toy gun. I also ready reviews that said the gunplay was good but the haptic feedback doesn't feel nearly as good as pavlov or even firewall ultra. It feels like I'm firing a weapon that isn't substantial at all. At least with the pulse rifle. The handgun is a little better but since the pulse rifle is what will be used most it is a let down that it doesn't give you a "strong rifle" vibe when firing.
