It’s been over a year since Survios’ virtual reality Alien game was first announced and we still know very little about the game. Survio’s Chief Product Officer TQ Jefferson was originally scheduled to attend the Alien panel at San Diego Comic Con in July 2022 but unfortunately had to cancel. However, now we have a morsel!
Appearing on Game Dev Unchained back in July, Survios’ Chief Technology Officer Alex Silkin confirmed that the developers were still working on the game (around the 2:00 mark) and described the game as spiritual follow-up to Alien: Isolation!
“The latest game we’re working on – we’ve announced it, we haven’t really shown much of it – is based on the Alien movies. So it’s kind of a sci-fi horror game. Sort of a spiritual…well, I think that’s setting a lofty goal, but we were spiritually inspired by Alien: Isolation so we’re hoping to create a compelling virtual reality focused follow-up to the game.”

Either too Arcady-like AFE (Which doesn't feel alien at all). Or it'll end up like ADD and just be a one-shot game with no big content expansions. Or end up like Alien Isolation, great game but not enough sales to grease up the Mouse's ****** to let him allow bigass Expansions.
So these devs better make sure everything is polished. And if it's meant to be an action game with the horror, they may want to play DS1-Remake and DS2 to get a good understanding.
Of course.. This game being made for VR first and both PC and Consoles.... It'll be poorly optimized and buggy as hell like any modern game that comes to multiple platforms in the modern era...
So. Even if it's good, it'll get the Isolation treatment and Disney will just give up since none of the Aliens/Alien titles are making blockbuster money in the gaming industry. The Franchise will be doomed to cobbled together "indie" teams who're better off making mobile games for Clash of Clans... Or get stuck with developers who "Play it too safe cause casuals".
Me too, after looking at them on the covers of books for so long, that ugliness has been engraved in my soul.

Everyone loved Half Life Alyx, but when the mod was released that allows people to play in flat screen, people commented on how slow and limited it was. That's because when you're playing in VR, there's a lot more to take in, and it's a lot less involved when using a controller or KB+M, so what feels exhilarating and amazing in VR, where you can reload your gun manually, feels less interesting when it's a simple button press.
Obviously the Resident Evil games have done a fantastic job of hybrid VR, and if the new alien game is love that, it will hopefully be amazing. I'm just saying maybe temper expectations if there's a flat version but it was developed for VR first.
In most cases I tend to agree (there's just something special about an actual 'Alien' game).. and though not the same, this one doesn't look bad at all (and will probably scratch that multiplayer itch for me) 😊
