Alien: Rogue Incursion lets players face off against Xenomorphs with a pulse rifle in hand.
The control scheme is similar to what one would expect from a VR shooter.
But be warnedyou better exit the door behind you.
And rest assured, those dudes are tricky and can hide very well.
Needless to say, running across Xenomorphs in VR is worth the price of admission alone.
They’re well-designed and scary, and it’s oh-so-satisfying to mow them down with the Pulse Rifle.
If a Xeno does take some swings at you, it’s not the end of the road.
Health vials are on your left wrist and are easy to inject at a moment’s notice.
The shooting mechanics are smooth and feel entirely natural.
This made it feel like actually taking a moment to scavenge and look around the environment would be beneficial.
‘Rogue Incursion’ is a love letter to ‘Aliens,’ the second film.
She was never another player character.
Like, how do we do that?
How do we give you that sort of agency in the world of Alien?
So, that became one of our guiding posts."
So we suspected, we knew, that there was an appetite for something like this.
But VR is about immersion.
VR is about interaction.
VR is more action-oriented."
It can’t be too scary.
So that’s great.
It gives you a lot of latitude, right?…
The first Xenomorph he saw, he took the helmet off, and he was like, ‘No.’
And then he came back, about 10 minutes later, pumped himself up.
He’s like, ‘I’m ready for it,’ right?
Then, the Xenomorph came again.
He took it off again…
But it was high fives for everybody on the team that day.
You’ve never seen me happier."
It’s really finding the balance between feeling helpless and being empowered, right?
She is a normal person with a particular skill set and a will to push back… And the thing that’s cool about that, to me anyway, is that.
So they’re pretty commonplace by the time you get to the second film.
But for Zula’s context, it’s a little more of the rare side."
So there’s ‘Alien,’ ‘Aliens,’ ‘Alien 3.’
There’s a nod to ‘Covenant’ in there for you to find…
There are some very clear nods to ‘Alien: Romulus’ in our game…
The game as a product has some knots to Romulus built into it.
So yes, it’s there."
