The game’s death sequences in particular are unsettling-they are the closest you’ll ever come (hopefully) to watching an eight-foot-tall alien monster hold your head in its hands and chomp your face off. We’re absolutely tickled that Isolation’s VR mode is once again accessible, because even with the hiccups and problems, it’s still a fabulous way to experience terror in VR. If you get a bit green in some VR games, though, be aware that Isolation will probably green you up pretty good. If you don't mind a bit of queasiness-or if you've got a cast iron virtual stomach-then it's not a problem. And there are lots of clipping issues in scripted moments-depending on your head height, you might miss more than you see once a scripted animation starts, as you might find your POV pinned in an un-renderable area. Your character's point of view gets automatically jerked around at multiple points (particularly when utilizing save stations or terminals), violating the cardinal rule of VR game design. There are scaling issues in VR that aren't quite apparent on a screen-other characters in particular aren't quite right, appearing at times just a bit too tall and at other times just a bit too tiny. Playing Isolation in VR highlights a major reason why the VR mode was never fully completed by the game's developers-though the game is both beautiful and terrifying, it's not really built with VR in mind.

The mod also currently lacks comfort accommodations for players more prone to motion sickness-there’s no “snap” turning yet, for example, and so players might find themselves needing to close their eyes if they feel queasy while adjusting their character’s POV with controller or mouse.
The MotherVR mod works for both controller and mouse & keyboard players, though the only way to recenter the player’s point-of-view if tracking becomes unstuck is via pressing the left and right bumpers on a connected controller (though we didn't need to do this even once in about an hour of playtime).

One oddity is that cutscenes play on what looks like a dynamically created screen that appears in whatever direction your head is facing when the cutscene starts, which means that if you're looking off to the side when a movie begins playing, the movie will play off to that side. The main menu then appears, and it's perfectly usable, with large, friendly text. You'll be greeted with a blank screen while the startup movies play (unless you've deleted or renamed the appropriate files to skip them, which you absolutely should do).

Installation is simple: you copy a DLL file from the archive into the game folder, and that’s it. The former made significant progress with a VR mod but elected to abandon the project after it became obvious Nibre’s mod would likely be finished first.Īnd although Nibre’s MotherVR mod isn’t finished-finished, it is downloadable as an alpha release. Multiple Reddit users-including /u/bo3bber and /u/Nibre-have spent time tackling the problem of reworking Alien: Isolation’s VR mode into something that would be compatible with the current-gen Oculus Rift. Mostly.Įnlarge / Unfortunately, VR makes for terrible screenshots, so here's a non-VR image of Alien: Isolation.
#ALIEN ISOLATION ANESIDORA CUT SCENE UPDATE#
The game’s sales figures were too low for Sega to justify bringing the coding team back together to update the feature for consumer headsets, and it would have passed into history as little more than an experimental footnote.Įxcept, of course, for the fan community-thanks to them, you can once again play Alien: Isolation in VR. Unfortunately, the extended screen method by which Isolation’s VR mode functioned made it incompatible with the release versions of the Rift or Vive. The VR mode mostly worked-the camera clips through the player’s body a lot, and folks prone to VR sickness would likely get nauseated within minutes due to the lack of any kind of VR accommodation in the game’s design, but even in its limited unsupported form the VR mode was stunning-and provided an even more terrifying experience than playing on a regular screen. The game was released just before the consumer versions of the Rift and Vive VR headsets became available, but it had a hidden Rift DK2-compatible gameplay mode that could be enabled by editing a configuration file.
