8 Video Game Moments That Will Be Mind-Blowing With The Oculus Rift
4. Playing As A Chestburster In Alien Vs. Predator 2
A few moments that werent quite as good as one might expect in the 2001 PC game Alien Vs Predator 2 not to be confused with the dreadful Requiem film from several years later was being able to play as the Alien Facehugger and Chestburster. In theory, it sounds like great fun; the two smaller critters were as scary, if not scarier, than the fully-developed Xenomorphs that were the main focus of the Alien films. In practice, it was more like a puzzle; the player had to slink their way around maze-like levels while using stealth to avoid enemies who could kill them with a single shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g79LLNFG40 One moment that certainly did not disappoint however, was how the Chestburster was introduced. Its exactly what Alien fans would hope for; from a first-person perspective, it was the player's job to bite their way through some poor saps internal organs, his ribcage and finally, his skin, while hearing his muffled moans from somewhere above the Chestburster's head. After a messy explosion, the Alien crawled its way to freedom - more morbid players could even look back at the hole they made in his chest if they so wished.
