alien-isolationOur team at E3 have now played Alien: Isolation at Oculus VR’s booth, amongst other things and we’ll have reactions and videos soon. But what is everyone else making of what could potentially be a recipe for heart failure if done well – Aliens in virtual reality?

User ‘goodgreenganja’ (my new favourite reddit user name) on subreddit /r/oculus has collated recent reaction tweets from those that have played the game in the Rift. They are presented below. Thanks to ‘goodgreenganja’ for the fast work! General summary? It’s f*!*ing terrifying! ;)

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.
