I'm glad to have encouraged you.Just started playing this in vr and it is so clear and sharp in fact one of the best looking games on the quest 2 so far imo , have not met the Alien yet......
Enjoy
Alien Isolation [Mother VR] is the best VR experience I've had and it's a free mod.

I'm very lucky that I don't get this affect.
To be honest, it's best played with a gamepad, as the motion control support is really just gamepad emulation.

You don't. You can play with motion controls, but it's like using them with vorpx, they act as a gamepad.
To see it done right look up the Outer Wilds VR mod, or the sadly now defunct GTFO mod. Both of those manipulate the steam input to give you full control of things like weapon holding and button press.
The reality is the Alien Iso mod is little more than a properly scaled vorpx experience. Props to the guy for doing it though, like all the sloggers that come good with VR mods. There's loads out there that i'm sure most people in this forum don't know about.

Ah can’t complain, got the game for free and the mod is free!
Playing it with an Xbox controller works well enough anyway for me... gives a good excuse to sit down!
I see from the GitHub repository he’s currently working on a VR mod for The halo master chief collection... that will be interesting to try.
Edit - outer wilds mod looks interesting, cheers

I played this back on the day with my original Vive and Vorpx. Not so much a game, more of an ordeal! I once spent 30 minutes hiding in one of those lockers and I couldn't pluck up the balls to leave - this was in the Medical Centre bit.
I will give it a shot with this mod, now that I have a Quest 2.
I played this back when I had a DK2.
The first time I was cowering in a locker, and the alien found me, ripped the door open and lunged at my face, I screamed like a girl and ripped the headset off, heart was racing, sweating.....
It was pretty cool....that lizard brain response it triggers is pretty wild...

haha guys!! Chickens!!
I can't really talk though, I quit before I ever got as far as the Alien!!

I just saw a brief glimpse of the alien as I was getting in a transit system, haven’t played more yet as I’ve been busy testing my new racing pedals I’ve built.... not because I’m scared. Not at all... no sir. Best get back to those pedals.
I completed AI in pancake mode when it first came out. Even then I had to have frequent breaks because it was so intense. In VR it's on a whole different level. Sometimes when I've spotted the alien I've gone 'nope' and taken the headset off! The thing I really hate are the working Joes androids. Creepy, and a real pain in the backside to deal with.
I would say though that the game is too long. It could have done with being about a third shorter.

I know what you mean but I have completed the game twice and love it, so for me it isn't however I have heard others saying the same about being too long.
Soldato
I'm not in any doubt the amount of work done in this - I have heard a number of times that VR was already in the code ,or at least the roots of it because the developers had planned to have that so that's why it works so well(the mods obviously still did well too ,they brought it out) but didn't have the money /time to implement it.

I seem to remember the devs saying at the time that they didn't want to continue VR development as it made the game too scary lol.
Yes the VR code was in the game, but it was in a bad state - it used deprecated oculus libraries for instance.
The mod's creator, Nibre, has gone into the binaries, without the source code, and made it work with modern hardware, and fixed up a lot of the issues, like monitors being too close to read comfortably, and even added partial motion controller support. It's an incredible achievement.

lizard brain best brain
I am always so pleased when I think a game is ending but then there's a surprise extra act.
Doom and Halo Reach also did this really well.
He might as well be described as a developer at this point. His work is incredibly impressive.
