Aliens: Dark Descent

[Stitch]

While I'm looking forward to Dark Descent, I'd still never turn my nose up at a modern and decent fp shooter.

Maybe the VR game?

I really want the VR game to lean into the horror, more than a shooter. But like @Wweyland says, an AvP4 would be very very welcome.

I'd also hope it leans that way, but there's no denying that something like ACM in VR would be awesome.

There's also no reason the game couldn't do both. Resident Evil VII is a straight up horror, but its third act goes more action heavy. One of the best VR games of all time.

Hopefully that VR game is all claustrophobic interiors. On the larger-scale VR games I have (Skyrim, Star Wars Squadrons), the resolution of distant objects gets very potatoey. It's kind of a letdown.

A vr game you say? Is that survival horror we've been hearing about?

That's all we know so far.

Just found this 10-minute off-the-screen gameplay video that someone just posted from PAX:

Looks atmospheric, to say the least. Aliens: Fireteam was too into your face, I hope this has better pacing.

[Still Collating...]

Love what I'm seeing! The difficulty is on easy obviously, but also seen in the right upper corner. The only silly thing as of now is the one Alien that did the same sideways zip dash that looks funny. Same as in the trailer. Not really breaking anything, but I hope that's a bug and not an actual moveset for the alien.

The atmosphere is gorgeous!

Looks like you collect DNA or genetic material from the dead Aliens.

And you can weld doors behind you. That's interesting. There's potential there to f**k yourself over by putting obstacles in your own way for your retreat.

Hell yeah, that's what I was hoping for! It looks great so far. 40 for the standard edition sounds like a good deal, too.

I really dont get a lot of the hate for this game im seeing online. Seems that is its not a FPS or Isolation 2 its an instant dismissal of any new game.

The door welding chase setpiece in Colonial Marines is literally the only part of that game I have relatively fond memories of. Something like that could have worked really well as a chase sequence in Isolation, actually.
