Alien Isolation - possible compatibility hack on the way

FlukeRogi · 5 Jul 2017 at 15:21

Someone on the Oculus subreddit is claiming to be 85-90% of the way to getting AI back up and running on the Rift. Full details here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/6ldafu/some_new_progress_on_fixing_alien_isolation_in_vr/

Support is for the Rift with the possibility of Vive. Just making people aware of this because as he says, the Steam sale ends shortly and you might want to pick up a copy if you don't own it.

I've always said AI is the best VR experience I've ever had, so I hope this guy delivers.

Edit - it works, it rocks, it'll make you poop your pants.

Latest release always available from: https://github.com/Nibre/MotherVR/releases/

** Now supports both Rift and Vive **

Oh god, that'd be terrifying in VR.

I already picked it up in the Steam sale hoping someone would get it working or they actually decide to patch it

I have it on my xbox, but I don't think it deserved all the praise it got. The Alien was just annoying more than scary, so much back tracking and repeating the same thing over and over. For the first couple of hours of gameplay it was brilliant, then it just settled into humdrum and ordinary. Hear noise, hide in locker, wait...wait.. wait... Move. Pick up objective, sudden noise, hide in locker wait...wait.. wait.. move.

It got tedious. Not sure I want to pay for it on PC as well even if He somehow manages to get it playing pretty good in VR.

I actually bought AI a couple of years ago on Steam but never got around to playing. If he gets this working I'll definitely give it a go but VR horror is not my favourite genre, getting to old for jump scares!

As it happens yes I have, and I had to close my eyes through most of it

Somebody just crossed it over to r/vive. Thank god i noticed it before the end of the sale. Even if it doesn't pan out, a punt at £7.50 is a chance i was willing to take.

This guy pulls through, who knows what happens next.

This was one of the games that attracted me to VR.

Never played it so would be like totally new game for me in VR

I tried it once and lasted 5 minutes, nearly **** my pants. Will give it a go again though

Awesome

Surfer · 15 Jul 2017 at 09:06

great great great!

You guys are in for a treat. This already looked good in the dk2. But with cv1 with SS enabled lol...oh my

However my cynical side says he will get slapped with an injunction from the developers/publishers just before actual release.

GBRusty · 15 Jul 2017 at 12:08

PLyed this in the DK2 and can only cope with so much it was awesome but scary.
So going to do it again (assuming vive compatibility too)

Katanga · 19 Jul 2017 at 02:32

Excited to say the least

He shouldn't do as it's just an injector and not really any different to any other mod out there for Alien Isolation.

Fantastic news, imho AI is one of the greatest games of all time (not saying this lightly either) so really cool to have it in updated with VR. Cant wait!

One reviewer described it as 'beyond terrifying' on the Rift - that's gotta be worth a go. Hope it makes it to Vive, the atmosphere in the game was excellent.

Playing it on the DK2 is still the best VR experience I've ever had (I am an Aliens fan though). While i never rip my headset off in any game. A:I certainly made me calmly remove my Rift and go and get a nice cup of tea..

Are you sure it was a cup of tea and not something stronger
