Our team at E3 have now played Alien: Isolation at Oculus VR’s booth, amongst other things and we’ll have reactions and videos soon. But what is everyone else making of what could potentially be a recipe for heart failure if done well – Aliens in virtual reality?
User ‘goodgreenganja’ (my new favourite reddit user name) on subreddit /r/oculus has collated recent reaction tweets from those that have played the game in the Rift. They are presented below. Thanks to ‘goodgreenganja’ for the fast work! General summary? It’s f*!*ing terrifying! ;)

Just experienced @AlienIsolation on @oculus rift at #E32014. Most frightening video game experience ever. I’m still shaking.

No gaming experience on a 2D screen could match the two games I just played in the DK2 @oculus Rift. Not even close.
