I follow it on Steam, the reactions to their updates and videos usually stops in the 20 Likes range. In comparison, the indie game Schedule I had over 9000 Likes / thumbs up for one of their recent updates. Yeah people seem super excited for this one
20 minutes in, game looks like what it is: a game made for VR. Lackluster graphics albeit serviceable. Exploration is fine, puzzles aren't a welcome addition imho, aliens are derp and exhibitionists that open arms animation, lol. Atmosphere is ok if not bland so far.
For comparison, AVP 2010 Marine Campaign felt more gritty, meaty and dready than this. Dunno if I'll keep playing it. Nice thing though, has the A:I lore into account.
Oh, and about pulse rifle: lacks punch, sound (what the hell is that repeating snippet of audio, bring back the flanger burst ffs!) and the "bullets" look like a paintgun sans the decal. Stupid.
• very different than AI (despite Steam bots claiming otherwise)
• no immersive movement
• no footstep sounds
• environments lack detail
• performance is weird - there's a jitter (microstutter) even at 40% GPU / 50% CPU usage @60FPS
• has atmosphere
• has body awareness
• has other subjective small details that I like
IMO, the Alien universe deserves and has the potential for much, MUCH more.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
