First of all, if you do this, you’ve got big balls. This game is scary enough.

At any rate, someone’s figured out how to enable Oculus Rift support in Alien: Isolation on Windows PC. To do so, head to the game’s Data\ENGINE_SETTINGS.XML file and change the following values under ‘stereo options’:

< setting name=”Stereo Mode”>
< quality name=”Rift” precedence=”4″>
< quality name=”Off” precedence=”4″>
< /setting>

You’ll also need to set your Oculus to extended mode, the pausing the service in the Oculus config utility.

Better have a clean change of underwear handy!

We reviewed Alien: Isolation earlier in the week.

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
