Powder/lead based weapons are usually the most fun to shoot in games. Because they are more relatable, and feel the most lethal due to the sound etc. And yes Aliens had regular shotgun "for close encounters". Also Gorman was firing a standard 9mm pistol (the Heckler & Koch VP70) as his last resort

Why did you not implement a non vr mode for those that dont have a vr headset or just dont want to spend the money for it they are expensive. Sure it may cost money at first but you are hurting yourself financially but cutting every non vr player out. Alien Isolation has a vr and non vr gameplay mode

[@kubel83]

@@joshuakeely5593equal to saying why don’t FIFA games add first person shooter. They made a VR game because that is what they wanted. Does that mean that not everyone can play. Yup. That is life. But perhaps in the future. But point is. They made a game specifically build for VR. Everything else would mediocre. Sorry but you can’t have EVERYTHING. Trust me I would love to play this but don’t have VR either. Besides they would have to remake the story and encounters for non VR. You can’t please everyone. That is life.😘

In Aliens, they do kill a descant amount of Xenomorphs, but it's also an immediate sh!^show, and half of those advanced special marine corps guys get destroyed and overwhelmed and are instantly on the back foot, like a fort under siege. No one is having a fun time shooting massive cockroaches like in these videogames

[@rx_n]

"Maybe make me hold down the menu button down for a second or two..." Stop blaming the controller for the obvious skill issue.

[@djg3906]

They should give the aliens free roam of the map which means you could enter a room on the first play through and there’s no alien, the second time there is. The game sounds like it’s missing unpredictability. Stick the unpredictability in and we could have a real winner of a VR horror game. Of course the main scenes which always require an alien to carry the cutscene would have to remain unchanged but just give the aliens free roam and the game will change for the better. Also add in a distance to noise for the aliens to actually hear you or not.

[@inceptional]

I truly think all the reviewers are confused about how easy it is to actually kill an alien in the movies when they have proper pulse rifles and even shotguns and pistols and such. It's really the sheer number of them and their ability to appear from anywhere and move on walls and shoot acid for blood and stuff that makes them a pain. But, yeah, they should and usually do die pretty quickly when you're firing rounds from a machine gun into them. So I don't think that's a legit thing for all you guys to be calling out here. Maybe it's something else that's failing to convey the right sense of tension and such, but I don't think just making the aliens bullet sponges is the key. Possibly making their blood actually cause real damage if you shoot them when they are too close, and maybe even keeping the acid on the floor for longer and making that cause some damage if you step into it too would really sell the danger of even engaging them at all. I think that would be a good way to handle it. Then you'd really have to pay proper attention to both the aliens and environment at all times, which I think would up the tension level considerably.

"The only weapon recognizable in the Alien universe..."? What are you talking about? Most of the settings of these type games are derivative of Hadley's Hope from Aliens. If you watched that movie, two of the guns in it are Hicks' pump shotgun and Gorman's revolver. Even in Colonial Marines (the one everyone seemed to hate) those two guns were special legendary weapons you could find and use. You don't know what you're talking about because they fit perfectly in Alien lore. I just wish there was a Smart Gun in there to use.

Dude's issue with hitting the PS buttons on the controllers tell me he doesn't play VR much.

[@MindEyeMediaVR]

The problem I think most gaming companies have with the action-adventure approach of Aliens is that of the two major gun battles that happen in that movie, the Colonial Marines experienced severe losses both times. Sure, they had plenty of high-powered weaponry, but they were still on the losing side of each battle (which was Jim Cameron's point). Had the makers of this game remembered that detail, it probably would have been a better survival horror game with more intense combat situations.

[@PunkRockLifer]

I've just got this and it's excellent, now watching this review, I definitely think the big day one patch has fixed many of these issues, the Alien AI is good and they have completely surprised me by hiding behind pipes and on the ceiling etc. also they've even popped up in the supposedly safe save rooms which really scared me. I'm totally on edge the whole time just as you would be in this situation. The story, characters, action and graphics are all excellent. The other negatives in this review I haven't seen either like repeated dialog so this has been patched too. I also think the controller issue is the user's issue because I've had PSVR 2 since day one and I've never accidentally hit the PS button so not sure about that being a down side. Love this game so much and it's as scary as you'd imagine it to be. 9/10

[@flushmaster248]

At first, I thought this is like playing Aliens: Colonial Marines in VR, and I loved it! Then I realized the AI of this game seems to be just like said game, as it doesn’t seem like the aliens are near as intelligent as they’re supposed to be. True ambushes from the ceiling would be nice, maybe add a melee weapon as the only thing that can break you from the xeno’s grip, though you suffer some acid splash damage. And I agree, where are all the rest of the arguably more iconic weapons? The flamethrower and the smart gun in particular? I still love this game, but it could definitely do with some decent post-launch patches, and DLC adding new mechanics and tools.

[@musicmanst90]

Would love the sequel to have human enemy types and facehuggers as the common enemies, the xenomorphs as a less common enemy. Maybe even having you deal with a freshly chest busted alien and boss encounters like a queen or synthetic. Lots of potential.

I have literally 100s of hours in psvr2 and never made that mistake. In my opinion psvr2 has the best controller design out of all Vr headsets.

I mean the alien "pretty easy to kill" compared to the first one, is that in the first they didn't actually have any firearms, just a flamethrower that we understood wouldn't be much of a use. also the fact they are worried that it would destroy the ships they're on if they would bleed the thing... but in the second one it's pretty clear that on a planet (so no worries that he planet would crash...) and with firearms, you become a issue for the aliens... and that continue in the third and fourth alien. so not much surprise here, then you have isolation which make the aliens unkillable even with good firearms, but then I would see it as worse lorewise, it doesn't follow the aliens weakness in front of firearms.. but at the same time procure a feeling of thrills you wouldn't get otherwise. so yeah 50/50 on this one, think they did a good portray on this one, but the alien strategies which seem weak contrary to the lore where the aliens definitely "think" for himself, at which point also understand the danger of firearms and act accordingly.

You guys should have your early access revoked. Please don't give this review the weight of a grain of salt. You not knowing how to hold a controller seems more like a user issue. EDIT: I just spoke to without parole (prominent VR reviewer) he said he did it once in the 10 hours he has played the game and said it's about of average how often he does it typically and said if someone is doing it often they likely dont use a psvr2 very much and its more user error.
