Can we have a non vr version as well please?

[nobinobiboi]

Don't get me wrong I love VR, but Horror titles i prefer not to play in vr, especially ones like alien games, with jump scares... Its a bit too much!

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one thinking this way 😓

I do not think we can as this company's mission is about making VR games. That is why it was founded.

As a VR player, I would probably skip buying this unless it remains VR exclusive.

What you need to realize is that making a game VR exclusive means the developers focused entirely on making the game as good as they could for VR motion controllers. If they did a good job, it would not be the same game if they also made it for flatscreen because then the pacing and gameplay would be altered to please a flatscreen audience instead of a VR audience.

So if you want to play it, just get a cheap Meta Quest 3S. It's only $300 and you can get the Steam Link app to play this game through Steam with it.

It's not about the headset or if i can afford it.. i had the quest 2 and sold it.. waiting for quest 4, .. and as mentioned i love vr games .... Just not horror vr. That's a bit too much for my nerves i think, and im sure devs can make games accessable for everybody

I'm not sure that the possibility that their horror game is going to be too effective for some people is going to worry Survios. Throughout history horror movies - like the original Alien film - have been marketed on the basis that they will terrifying the audience. Some have even employed actors to pose as medical staff in the cinemas to help customers recover from heart attacks and so on.

Perhaps Survios could provide discount coupons towards the cost of defibrillators?

As a non-VR player, I will definitely skip buying this since I don't want to drop $300 on a gimmicky headset.

Looks like the developer will be leaving a lot of money on the table pandering to the VR crowd. Most PC gamers do not own or play VR games. Unless maybe it's a porn game. In which case, the VR headset and software is cheaper than a girlfriend.

VR systems are not gimmicky. Most PC and console gamers did not purchase a lot of units of AVP'10, ACM and AI. And it is hard to compete on flat screen market.

Also this developer is not specializing in making flat screen games. They created the studio to make VR games only. So they do not pander to anyone.

BTW how much money did Concord make? The flat screen game?

Have to agree, a $300 investment for 2 or 3 quality games is more ridiculous than buying a proprietary $500 console with a small handful of exclusives. Let's hope the devs crank out a non-vr version sometime down the road so a more realistic number of people can enjoy it. Spending all resources on a vr title only means a limited number of sales, and might lead to going belly up as a business.

If you don't like VR go play a another Alien game there are plenty to pick from. The developers as said already for this game are a VR only dev and with the game mechanics i cant see a flat version would work. As for spending 300 on a head set how much was that GFX card cost you all?

I for one can't play 'BOX' flat games anymore they just feel meehh

VR has much more than 2 or 3 quality games

I have like 50+ games on my Quest 3
And 27 VR games on Steam

If we're only going to do that which creates the highest profit, why don't all games developers drop this folly of producing games in favour of making drugs and porn?

Bah humbug

I wonder what game franchises VR enthusiasts could have games developed for without upsetting people without VR? Batman? Spiderman? Charlotte's Web? Why on Earth do people keep objecting to VR having anything good?

It has already been mentioned: very small selection of functional vr games done right which actually show off the hardware. While there's a large, large amount of vr shovelware out there with issues - sure you can blame the devs who created those broken, semi-functional offerings but there will always be people who get instant nausea with vr. I'm one of them. Wish it was better as I enjoy stereoscopic 3D content without issue.
