Alien: Isolation

[Semiurge]

Is GOG's version any different from the others, i.e inferior in any way like many other GOG releases?

No.

Also don't forget to apply this mod to get rid of the shader aliasing:

Is the problem bad enough to warrant that?

The difference between vanilla and this mod is huge. Even if you run the game at 4K aliasing is still awful. There's also a mod that enhances the graphics settings, adding better draw distance and higher resolution shadows. https://www.nexusmods.com/alienisolation/mods/19
Not as necessary as AA mod but still nice to have. Just don't use the new reflections, those are shit.

Holy shit CA is such a fucking dumpsterfire of a company.

Why is there still no finished official VR support for Alien Isolation?

The people responsible for the game left the studio ages ago and I doubt Sega sees much profit in making a VR port of a game that had middling sales.

The VR support has already been built in from the start. Guys from IGN even played it in VR during some early promotions but then it was just dropped yet the almost finished code is still inside.

Why did they bothered releasing a video series and a mobile port then? It's hands down the scariest VR game, just publish it on PSVR2 and you'll get guaranteed sales.

AI had OK sales but Sega went on to ream CA for the poor return on investment. The story floating about was that if Sega kept the development money in the bank, they would have made the same amount the game ultimately made. CA went on to sack most of the AI team to placate Sega.
