Well, you gotta love modders. A couple of months ago, SEGA showcased Alien: Isolation via Oculus Rift VR. Disappointingly enough, Creative Assembly dropped – all of a sudden – support for this VR device, meaning that the final version could not be enjoyed with it. Well, thanks to modders, now you can.
All you have to do is edit an XML file and do the appropriate changes:
1) in ENGINE_SETTINGS.XML (found in the DATA folder) change the stereo options to:
2) Set the Oculus to extended mode.
3) In the oculus configuration utility pause the service.
4) Start the game.
5) To play the game normally, reactivate the service by opening the display mode and set it to “direct to rift” and viola.
And there you have it; Alien: Isolation should be working fine now with Oculus Rift.
Kudos to NeoGAF’s member ‘Krejlooc’ for spotting it!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

This is good news I was looking forward to trying this game with the Rift. I hope CA dont patch it out.
Disable Auto-update on Steam and you won’t have to worry about it getting patched out.
I looked at the file and I don’t understand some of the lines because I was hoping to find out why the AA doesn’t work. If anyone knows anything about these commands in this file, let me know.
I just want to make the game look even better and it already looks amazing to me. So.
