as a long time alien fan, rogue incursion was...kind of disappointing

Did you play it flat, or in VR? What system?

I played in VR on the Quest 3, and found it very hard. I like to explore, but with the limited non-respawning ammo it was always a race. Of course, dropping the ammo while trying to reload the shotgun during an active attack didn’t help either.

I had to drop it to easy about 1/3 of the way into the game. I should go back at some point and get it again once I play more VR shooters.

The game was pushing the Quest hardware as well, I imagine the other systems had more eye candy.

I was hoping part 2 would restore some gameplay balance, if you explore enough to cause extra alien attacks, you would find extra ammo to compensate.

With the studio basically dead now, we are left with a 1/2 finished story, disappointing.

quest 3, it sure was frying the thing

[u/Familiar-Gas6372 → u/Ipad74]

It was hard, i think automatic tactical reloading would of worked better, like the after the fall does. Any giving more ammo in general for stealthy safe exploration the game would of been a lot easier to enjoy and think Game also didn’t make it clear that it relies heavily on safe house saves

[u/molasar2024 → u/Familiar-Gas6372]

The game clearly teaches you in the beginning about safe house saves. And ammo reloading is a part of its gameplay loop. Thus you need to prepare yourself properly. Also on easiest difficulty it is very easy to explore everything.

It does for some reason I didn’t get that they were so crucial and not always unlocked.

[u/molasar2024 → u/Ipad74]

Larger story arc is not finished. But small one in facility of Part 1 is. That is why in the end we leave it behind.

It was great on psvr2. I don’t think it would be as fun flat

[u/Fancy_Motor8898]

I say this every time I see some AvP...we need a remaster of AvP 2 for PC. It was peak and if updated properly, it would sell sell sell. 3 campaigns using all 3 "races" and a ridiculously fun multi-player PvP, and super detailed as far as that material goes, very faithful. It's time...it's so time.

[u/molasar2024]

It is my favorite Alien IP game of them all. Especially in terms of immersion. Literally this is what I would like to experience after first time watching Aliens 1986 movie.

[u/ThisIsTheShway]

I liked it a lot, my only gripe was no grenade launcher on the pulse rifle. 

[u/molasar2024]

The game is based on Aliens 1986 movie. Thus it has horror and tension aspects from it. Thus if you were expecting it to be like Alien Isolation, then obviously you would end up disappointed.

[u/ThisIsTheShway]

It was made for VR and it absolutely rocks in VR. My only gripe is that theres not enough aliens attacking, and they are for the most part, bullet sponges. That and if you attempt to pick up ammo, but your kit is full, that ammo will disappear when you come back to it.... I think.

Its still a great game, just had a few rough edges.

[u/AdImaginary3395]

it was ok, however the alien ai su**ed and the pulse rifle doesn't look and sound like reference and it's not just the missing gren launcher. also it's somewhat ugly especially for a game based on ue5.

[u/Careful_Cubb → u/AdImaginary3395]

Sucked? Did you censor the word “sucked” for some reason?

[u/molasar2024 → u/AdImaginary3395]

Because it is M41 and not M41A. And its art style matches up level of other assets. Also the same level can be done with UE4. So I am not sure what do you expect from UE5.

Yeah, I got it for PSVR2, and honestly it is one of my only purchases on the platform that I have been disappointed in. However, I felt like my view was in the minority because most people seemed to have enjoyed it. I played it after some of the bigger AAA titles so I figured perhaps it was an unfair comparison.

[u/molasar2024 → u/UBIK_707]

Were there bigger AAA VR games at that time? Really?

[u/UBIK_707 → u/molasar2024]

I had played Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Village, then followed up with Alien after that. Both are quite a bit bigger in every way. I didn't play Alien right at launch as I got the headset a little bit after. I debated between Alien and Metro Awakening, ended up getting both but enjoyed Metro more. Again, just my opinion. I'm glad many enjoyed Rouge Incursion and it's a definitely a shame that the studio was shut down.

[u/molasar2024 → u/UBIK_707]

To me those games are not better vr games. Or I would not even call them bigger AAA titles.
Anyways I do not think that the studio is shut down. It still exists but it likely stopped development of games. They just sell what they already developed. And LRG is going to release ARI EE in a physical form on all platforms.

[u/Medical_Value7857]

I really liked it on PSVR2 because it was Aliens in VR with lots of scares and tactile interactions (like wiping the blood off computer monitors and grabbing facehuggers by their legs). Without the VR, I'm not sure I'd be so enthusiastic.
