‘Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition’ Steam Next Fest Demo Available Now [Trailer]
If you’ve been itching to get your hands on old-school FPS goodness with the Steam Next Fest demo for Apogee Entertainment’s Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, that week has finally arrived. The demo comes accompanied by an equally old-school cheesy trailer, styled to look like something you’d see on an old VHS tape (maybe).
Experience a perfect mix of past and present with 60+ frames-per-second gameplay, classic pixelated artwork upscaled to 4K resolution, increased field-of-view, cloud saves, achievements, and more. Ludicrous Edition sees you play through five separate campaigns including new episodes, expansion packs, and never-before-seen Rise of the Triad content from previously-lost beta builds. Returning Rise of the Triad fans can also look forward to new features and additions, including a level editor (with Steam Workshop support), a new HUD, multiplayer, and character sprites.
Join the H.U.N.T., an elite squad of special forces and investigate mysterious activity off the California coast and unravel the mystery of the Triad cult. Select from five operatives, each with their own hit points, speed and accuracy statistics, and blast a path back to Los Angeles.
Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition arrives on Steam for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch on July 31st.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
