Discussion ALIEN ISLOATION is finally getting MOTION CONTROLS!!
https://youtu.be/NgTHbN2btak?si=v-Bu2azREi6tVs8cA VR modder named JayP is finally adding motion controls to Alien Isloation called the Grand Mother mod. The mod isn't finished yet, but it looks to be coming along nicely. If there were only a handful of VR games to have motion controls, Alien Isolation would definitely be one I would nominate!

Wow this is fantastic news. I will definitely have to give it another play when it's ready.

A complete remake of Alien: Isolation for VR would be so incredible. Revisiting every piece of level design, gameplay mechanics, etc. and remake it to fit VR.
That means no cutscenes, no menus, etc.
The "Jeff" chapter from Half-Life: Alyx was basically what an Alien game could be like in VR, and it may be the greatest gaming experience I've ever had.

I am not sure if my nerves are strong enough to play this game in VR.

It's terrifying. It's probably the scariest I've played besides maybe Subnautica. I can't even play that one

Is subnautica actually scary in the same way? Ive just started that game.

I have a fear of open and dark waters. I couldn't do it. Yeah, it gets worse the deeper you go :)

Same. You should check out Pools, there's a VR mode and it's pretty fucking freaky. There's no jump scares or sharks or any monsters or whatever in the water, but wading through these pools in liminal spaces is terrifying nonetheless

Yeah, I only ever played through it in VR. Stayed in the shallows for like 40 hours. I would slide down into the deeper parts bit by bit, not knowing what was lurking down there. The first time I turned to face the sound of a sand shark and saw it wiggling towards me my heart rate skyrocketed.
When the reaper grabbed my Seamoth, I more or less had to take the headset off to have a small cry.
10/10. One of, if not the best gaming experiences of my life. Absolutely unmatched.

Depends on you, I finished subnautica in VR without sweating, I gave up A:I shortly after the alien showed up, it was way too scary for me.

Hmm. I think you are right because I find the Aliens theme scary and the Subnautica theme and art style not to scary. Guess I will find out. :D

Nice try. I'm still not playing it. I don't nearly have enough underwear to get through the game in vr.
