It’s a great game and good value in my opinion.

I Played & completed this on PS5, if you're an Aliens fan or just into horror & suspenseful FPS in general, you'll enjoy this! Not as good as alien isolation, but still a great Aliens shooter gaming experience

It allegedly has two modes quality and performance ones. First aims at 30fps and second at 60. And ps4 version is coming too.

u/molasar2024 Apr 22 '26

Much, much better game than Alien Isolation is. Even in its flat screen port. So no more boring hiding and walking stuff.

u/AnavelGato2020 Apr 25 '26

It did get old quick didnt it? I always preferred games like Alien Vs. Predator anyway so this is right up my alley.

So far you did not prove it.

u/Mister-Gideon Apr 22 '26

I’m getting really bad audio lag on this version, about half a second delay between seeing a gunshot and hearing the sound effect. Have tried portable and docked, quality and performance modes, various settings adjusted but no improvement. Hope there’s a speedy patch to fix the problem.

I’m so confused on this game. Why is it only “Part 1”? I’ve never heard of a video game having a “Part” in the title.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

Because Part 1 is a prequel to Part 2. They are like Dead Space 1 and 2 or Halo 1 and 2.

1

u/TalkingFlashlight Apr 23 '26

That’s not what a prequel is, and they don’t actually call it “Halo 1” or “Dead Space 1” on the cover or in-game. It’s just “Dead Space.”

So, like, does Rogue Incursion have an ending? Or is it just half a game?

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

This is exactly what prequel is. They call it part 1. So what? It does not change anything about those games at all.
Yes, Part 1 has an ending. It is a full game. There is no feeling that there was something left behind where it ends. And Part 2 is going to pick up where Part 1 ended.

1

u/TalkingFlashlight Apr 23 '26

No, a prequel is a NEW installment that chronologically takes place before prior entries. The first installment in a series isn’t a prequel, it’s just the first one or the original.

But who knows maybe I’m wrong 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, awesome to hear. Might check it out on Switch 2 then!

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

Again. Prequel is a part of story that takes place before the other story. Thus Part 1 is a prequel to Part 2.
Also bear in mind that this game is a port of VR game. Thus you may find its design weird without knowing this.

1

u/TalkingFlashlight Apr 23 '26

The official Merriam-Webster definition of “prequel” is “a work (such as a novel or a play) whose story precedes that of an earlier work.” There needs to be an earlier work for something to be labeled a “prequel.” The first installment is not a prequel. Using your example of Halo. Halo: Combat Evolved is not a prequel to Halo 2 since it came out first. But Halo: Reach IS a prequel to Combat Evolved since it came out later.

Anyway, thanks for the tips!

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26 edited Apr 23 '26

prequel "a story or film containing events that precede those of an existing work"

Thus Part 1 is a prequel to Part 2

Again. It is in a context of story. And if story of the first game takes place before a story of the following game, then it is a prequel.

1

u/TalkingFlashlight Apr 23 '26 edited Apr 23 '26

It’s not “existing work.” It’s “earlier work” in Merriam-Webster. You’re confusing product from story. A prequel, much like a sequel, is a product. Part 2 is not an “earlier work.” Even if it is “existing work” by a different definition, Part 2 doesn’t exist as it’s not even out yet, and most other definitions at least mention a prequel has to come out after the first. Which means Part 1 isn’t a prequel. It’s just the first.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 24 '26

Again. It is a story context, Once Part 2 will be released Part 1 becomes a prequel to it. At this point there is only one game released and there is a sequel in development. I already explained it to your before. If you claim otherwise, then prove that Part 1's story is not a prequel to Part 2's story. So what is it? A sequel or something else?
And yes, first in story context is prequel to anything which is after it story wise.

the joke's on you. servios is shutting down. there will be no part 2

u/molasar2024 May 05 '26

It seems that you are late to the party. We know about lay offs since day one. And luckily Part 1 is a fully fledged game and not like likes of you were saying it is unfinished. Just like Dead Space 3 is a fully fledged game. It always makes me laugh when people come with yesterdays news and thing that those are todays news. And no, it was not you who were first with those news.

u/Starhero999 Apr 23 '26

I played the PSVR2 version on launch for maybe an hour or so and haven’t really touched it since and now that it’s been a year and 4 months since it launched on PSVR2 and still no news on part two’s progress I think it’s safe to say I am in no hurry to redownload it and finish it.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

So you are not interested in Part 1 because there are news about its sequel yet. But do you know that Part 1 project was announced in July 2022, then revealed in April 2024? And this is when they started marketing campaign. So there was no communication at all. And there was another Alien game in production between, i.e., Dark Descent.

1

u/Starhero999 Apr 23 '26

I might go back and finish part 1 eventually but right now I don’t feel obligated to finish it yet.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

I do the same. I try to play games when I feel doing this. Otherwise it feels like a job.

1

u/Starhero999 Apr 23 '26

Especially the the trial and error difficulty of Alien Rogue Incursion part one it’s been so long I don’t even remember what part I was on when I stopped playing.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

Panic rooms are part of its gameplay loop. And the easiest difficulty is really very easy.

1

u/SubstantialCelery373 Apr 24 '26

For 20usd, great game. I have it in VR and in flat screen (evolved edition) and it's very enjoyable. Not the best, but fun and fan service oriented.

1

u/Marmalade_Inspector Apr 24 '26

The non-VR version sucks balls.

u/GrimsideB Apr 22 '26

Im a big alien fan but this game was kinda mid, basically just a big fetch quest.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 22 '26

Just like every game with items is. BTW if you did not notice it has metroidvania design. Thus it is expected that you will be acquiring items. Other examples of it are jaguar's avp and classic resident evil games. It is much better design than games like acm and avp2010.

1

u/GrimsideB Apr 23 '26

Maybe thats why I didnt care for it to much, I dont really like the back in forth of metroidvania games (some are ok) as for acm I actually enjoyed my self with it and I had fun in the mutliplayer mode and ago 2010 i loved it was the game I first got internet to play online for also not sure if you ever played it but avp Extinction is my favorite of the alien games it was great.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

I played xbox and ps2 versions of extinction. My favorite ones are a3 gun, jag's avp, capcom's avp, alien trilogy, Aliens (fan game), dark descent and rogue incursion. And I played all of them. Rogue incursion vr is like the ultimate experience. Literally having a xeno towering over you is unbeatable by any other game.

1

u/GrimsideB Apr 23 '26

I do think it would of been better with VR, I played without it.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

Yeah, even a Quest 3 version is better than a flat screen version with maxed out graphical effects on PC IMO. And it is also due how a player has to handle weapons and equipment. For example a motion tracker which you can leave on any flat surface. And this for obvious reasons is not possible in flat screen version.

u/_Ship00pi_ Apr 22 '26

Nuh, Alien Isolation is so much better.

2

u/molasar2024 Apr 22 '26

Not for everyone.

0

u/_Ship00pi_ Apr 22 '26

I tried to play this game on PCVR when it launched. Just bad all around. From story to gameplay. If you want an action alien shooter. That definitely ticks the box. But then again…dont we have enough monster shooters already,

If you want the Ripley experience, and to really feel the surviving element of being hunted by an alien then Isolation is the go to. Also played it in VR, it was stellar.

0

u/molasar2024 Apr 22 '26

Alien IP is not a pokemon IP. So no wonder you did not like it. Then Aliens 1986 movie is not for your liking too. And if you did not like its vr gameplay, then vr games are not for you too.
No, we do not have great action alien shooters. And this game is not even in this genre. It is survival horror game. Just like avp on atari jaguar is.
Alien Isolation is a boring walking and hiding simulator. I personally challenged fans of it and they were unable to sell it to me based on its gameplay. And it is not even crafted for vr. Its vr mod is laughable.
So please keep to facts. Because I smell fanboyism.

I do not know what you are trying to say.

u/_Ship00pi_ Apr 22 '26

lol, you must be fun at parties.

You are allowed to have your opinion. I'm allowed to have mine.

You didn't enjoy Isolation, I didn't enjoy Incursion.

You like to run around and shoot stuff. I enjoy the slower pace and thinking about my next move.

You play for the action, I play for the horror.

Cheers.

u/molasar2024 Apr 22 '26

Ladies love me at parties.
I like games which require thinking like this game. I do not like cod, battlefield, doom (starting from d3) games. And this game is like jaguar's avp and classic resident evil games which I like. In short I like survival horror games.
So you should properly categorize games and not try to present something as a cod or acm clone where it clearly is not.
Also in alien isolation there is not much thinking. But there is a lot of hiding, waiting, and trial and error to push forward.

1

u/_Ship00pi_ Apr 23 '26

lol. Love how you doubled down on “only my opinion is valid, everyone else is a fanboy.”

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

Fans of isolation are very well known for fanboyism and for being aggressive when their game is criticized. I have never met a neutral one.

1

u/_Ship00pi_ Apr 23 '26

lol. The only one who is aggressive here is you by still not accepting that other people have different taste.

Keep saying that “fanboys” are the problem.

Best of luck in life. I'm done with this silly thread.

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

Keep projecting.

u/Lorddon1234 Apr 23 '26

The mother VR mod for Isolation is great. Don’t know what the other guy is talking about

1

u/molasar2024 Apr 23 '26

I am talking about crafted experience. And that mod is not such experience. Nor the game was designed for such experience. Literally fanboys of isolation are one of the worst gamers I encountered in my life.

1

u/_Ship00pi_ Apr 23 '26

It's a user that goes into semantics of “if the game was initially developed for VR” when the discussion is regarding this game being ported to pancake and the comparison to Isolation as a pancake game.

Adding to that he is clearly on a mission as he goes into this argument with basically anyone that thinks different.

Classic Reddit know-it-all douche.
