Alien Isolation [Mother VR] is the best VR experience I've had and it's a free mod.

I've just been playing it tonight after leaving it for some time and saw this thread.
It's by far the most pant filling game I've ever played, and I've been playing The Forest in VR. The graphics hold up really well, especially if you've a newer Nvidia or AMD card so you can max out the settings.

I don't think it will work. It's regularly on sale in Steam and other sites for a few quid.
Had Alien Isolation in my Steam library so gave this a try last last night and it's really good. I prefer this over the 2d game. I stood in awe looking at the flames from burst gas pipe as looked so realistic. I think my brain was almost fooled to feel heat from flame. I also installed this file detailed here:

To my eye made graphics cleare/crisper but not 100 % sure. Anyone else tried and noticed difference?

The shadows are definately smoother. It's a really excellent game in VR - it's the soundscape that really makes it. The thumping around above which must be the alien and the noise of the motion tracker, just puts you in a state of constant alertness and in danger of a little underwear soiling. The soundtrack gives me the willies too.
I'm really glad so many people are giving this a go. The game and mod deserve so much more attention than they've got. AI is a true cult classic.
I'll give this a look. Got a 980 so it might not be able to put up with the extra demand.
Added the 8K engine .xml file and played AI again tonight. Runs really well and does look better.
I always find I can’t continue or load a previous save game from the title screen so have to restart from the beginning of a mission. Anyone else find this?

I don't. But having played it for a few hours I've lost interest in it. I've no interest in being made to feel on edge or spooked by a game, fk that

I've managed to complete this in VR, what a great experience. I can honestly say it's probably the most intense, captivating, terrifying gaming experience I've ever had. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you even remotely like Alien/Aliens.

We played Alien Isolation on my DK2 back in the day when it first released and had very basic VR support, and it's absolutely terrifying. I've just picked up an Index and I want a few scary experiences but I fear this maybe a bit over the top.

Honestly HL Alyx has been pretty scary so far, the enemies in that are so intimidating when you're scaled down to their size and they're not tiny people on a monitor. Even the headcrabs look like small beach balls.
