No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear.
I’m down. I love a good scary VR game
I remember having a moment in RE7 VR where…
And I just instantly took the headset off and said out loud “You got it! Don’t have to tell me twice” and I didn’t come back to the game for like 2 weeks.
It was so awesome.
I remember having a moment in RE7 VR where…
you enter the little girl’s room, after that ball mysteriously rolls across the floor. Then out of nowhere all the lights go out and the ambient sound stops, to the point where I thought my headset maybe died or got unplugged. And like 3 eternal seconds later this little girl just whispers “STAY. AWAY.” right in your ear.

I'm out, I can't do horror in VR. It took me hours to get through the first 45 minutes of RE7.

Just need a ride on the Jeff elevator.
But with aliens.
I’ve played a bunch of vr make you jump games but none have given me as much anxiety as the Jeff level from Half Life Alyx.

I think this game is going to surprise people with how good it is. Survio made Westworld: Awakening for VR, and it nailed the show's atmosphere but with the horror ramped up significantly. They can do Alien right.

Dead set the scariest moment I have had in gaming and life! I wasted so much flame thrower ammo just spraying it everywhere just like bill paxton in Aliens.I’m down. I love a good scary VR game

Totally forgot how good Re7 PSVR was.

I expect to be there Day 1 on PSVR2 but I'm not getting hyped. I gotta play it first. VR is easy to hype and just as easy to disappoint.
Propagation: Paradise Hotel is by far the scariest VR game that I've played. The game is so damn smooth, it's incredibly easy to get fully immersed because the jank is near non-existent.
The first few hours in RE7 were also petrifying. Hard to move at times when Jack is stalking you in the beginning. I hid behind a couch for like 5 minutes in an attempt to gather courage, lol.

Add Propagation: Paradise Hotel to the wish list. It's more or less a REmake clone. It is legit terrifying, you won't be disappointed.

I hope this is better than I'm assuming. I love the Alien IP so much, so I always want the best with everything related to it. I just really wish I cared more about VR. Still hoping for the best!

Never played a vr horror game. Going to try Propagation: Paradise Hotel when i get a PSVR 2.
I only played RE7 on my tv and i was spooked. Can't imagine it in VR.
Hopefully this alien game is good.

With motion controls, RE4 and especially RE8 are vastly superior to RE7 in VR.
You wont be disappointed!

I thought you'd tell us you physically shit yourself or suchlike.

Man, how fucking good would Aliens be in VR.. Pulse rifles, sentry guns, sharp sticks
Why do we never get what we truly want?

same. alien isolation scared the piss out of me, and that's arguably not a horror game!I can barely play horror games in “2D”. This would probably give me a heart attack.

Oh, I thought that was implied.

Zula Hendricks, I guess.
They have done a lot of comics/books with that character, pairing her with Amanda Ripley: https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Zula_Hendricks
the game is doing her no favors but since it's VR I'm assuming you don't spend a lot of time looking at yourself.

Whilst I'd rather play as a badass marine and god knows Aliens had some of the best, Sarge, Hicks, Apone, Drake etc it'd be nice if these game companies could give us the option to play as either body type A or body type B.
From a pure immersion point of view I'd be able to relate more to inhabiting a dude than a woman, skin colour is irrelevant but as a VR game I like to imagine myself in the scenario so when I look down and see skinny black lady arms it'll be a bit :-(( but hey ho, it's a fucking Aliens game in VR so I'm still gonna buy but wished they didn't go down the DEI route

In this specific case I'm not quite on board with you but I do agree that for a VR game having an "anonymous" voiceless avatar is a pretty easy choice to skirt these issues and I'm curious why they went with a specific in-game character for the player. Hopefully it means that there is a lot of attention to the narrative but I worry you will get 'pulled out' for lots of cutscenes and stuff that I'm not sure how well that will work in VR. The typical audio log/video screen narrative technique seems like the obvious route to go but I guess we'll see.

I love the alien franchise but it looks awful. The scariest thing about this will be wondering if there are any alien eggs in the gender neutral bathrooms.

Does this mean we can get a non-VR mode?

I feel like I have to get this, but I don't see myself making it through. Isolation was stressful as fuck, I can't imagine a similar experience in VR.
