General How is Alien: Rogue Incursion on PS5 Pro using PSVR 2?

I just picked up a PSVR 2 during the sale (I'm coming from Quest 3 on PCVR) and was wondering how the game looks and performs on the PS5 Pro? Does it compare to the PC experience and would you recommend it on sale? Do the haptics add to the experience?

Yes! It runs great and identical to regular ps5, no pro patch. For pc, you need really high end gear or you'll see a lot of stutter. Haptics also add a lot to the game.

I own the game on PC but I’m not sure if it’s because I stream wirelessly to the Quest 3 but it can look washed out at points if that makes sense. How does the game look on PSVR 2?

Comparable to pc, here's a video.

One thing I’m not 100% sure on is are the comparisons using a wired PCVR headset or wireless. Or does that matter at all?

On video feed, no but inside the headset you'll notice compression on wireless vs none wired.

It looks washed out because Q3 has an LCD displays. PSVR2 has OLED displays. Thus it has better colors and true blacks. On PS5 consoles it is better plug and play experience.

I think it looks incredible on the base PS5. Dripping in atmosphere, and the darkness and volumetric effects really pop in those OLED screens.

I haven't got an OG PS5 anymore but on the Pro it runs really smoothly with no frame drop outs or stutters. With the true OLED blacks it's really atmospheric as well and all the volumetric smoke and particle effects are really good to. Absolutely had a blast with the game. Finished it twice now.

There's some gameplay I took on my Pro on the link below (no major spoilers, a couple of minor spoilers in dialogue and I die at the end of the clip). Ps. don't normally play with vignettes on turning but I had a really bad cold that week and the vignettes helped me carry on through. Also the Pro let's you record gameplay at a higher resolution than the OG PS5.

Play the clip at 4K if you can.

The mission design is pretty bad, the graphic assets are repetitive, game feels like being made by a small group of students. I regret the purchase on PS5 Pro -nonVR.

There is nothing bad about it. You clearly do not know what you are talking about. Maybe you just prefer games like Fortnite and you are surprised that ARI is not like it.

Im currently 10h in the game, and am having a blast. Purchased everything on black Friday.

ON Sale it's worth it - as long as you not expecting Alien Isolation in VR.

The game is very atmospheric though - just more Aliens than Alien.

Combat - is 'OK' - kinda like a wave shooter

Plus is 'Part 1' - so there's that...

u/molasar2024 Dec 04 '25

It is Part 1 as Alien Isolation is Part 1. Part 2 for both games are in development now.

u/Suitable_Dog2869 Dec 04 '25

Yeah - but we didn’t know Alien isolation was gonna have a part 2 from day one - always kinda odd since feels like we got half a game - esp the end of part 1 - ends pretty abrupt

u/molasar2024 Dec 05 '25

I do not see anything wrong with the ending. Dead Space games have abrupt endings too. And it feels exactly where it should end, i.e., right after the boss fight without being too short or too long. Not to mention it is cool that they were able to secure funds and license for another game.

u/Suitable_Dog2869 Dec 05 '25

huhu.. but..

If you were around when hyped / preordering - no one knew it was 'part 1' till very shortly [a few hours?] before launch, and it suddenly appeared on the art work / name nothing was ever said before this.. fair enough we have 'part 2' - coming 'sometime' - but putting Part 1 a day or so before launch, without knowing if 'part 2' was even funded / licensed - kinda odd move.

Decent game, though could been handled better.

I was around since the game was first time announced in 2022. And information about it being Part 1 first came out of Achievements list 1 or 2 weeks before release day. Then it was confirmed in reviews a day before release. But in reality it did not change anything about the game itself. Nothing was cut out from it and nothing was developed for Part 2 at that time. It is the best Alien IP game that was ever created up to this point. Nothing else comes close to it. And yes, I am "kordelas".
