Resident Evil Requiem vs Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition

• Perspective: First-Person
• Multiplayer: Single-Player Only
• Setting: Alien Universe (Between Alien & Aliens)
• Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
• Unique Feature: A non-VR rebuild of the original VR title, blending the action of 'Aliens' with survival horror elements and a punishing, old-school manual save system.

• Audio Tapes & Logs: Found on terminals throughout the facility. These collectibles provide lore and backstory on the events that led to the Xenomorph outbreak at Castor's Cradle.
• Resources: Scavenged from the environment. This includes essential items like ammunition and health syringes, which are in limited supply.

• Pulse Rifle: Primary Firearm
  Zula's most reliable weapon, an iconic firearm from the 'Aliens' film.
• Shotgun: Primary Firearm
  A powerful close-quarters weapon, effective for dealing with charging Xenomorphs.
• Revolver: Sidearm
  A six-shooter handgun, likely used as a backup weapon when primary ammo is scarce.

Leon uses Credits at Supply Boxes for weapon stats (Firepower, Reload, Capacity) and hatchet sharpening. Grace uses a unique 'Blood Collector' system to analyze infected blood via laser microscopes to craft superior injectors (Steroids for HP, Stabilizers for aim).

Progression is based on survival and resource management. There are no skill trees or leveling systems. Players must find weapons and tools like a blow torch and wire clamp to access new areas and solve environmental puzzles. Upgrades are not a core feature; survival depends on skill and ammo conservation.

Requiem features five massive interconnected zones: Wrenwood Hotel (Introduction), Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center (Hub), East Raccoon City (Exploration), RPD/Orphanage (Nostalgia), and the ARK Facility (Climax). It is approximately 2.5x larger than Resident Evil Village in terms of navigable space.

The game features sprawling, interconnected levels set within the Castor's Cradle facility and the surrounding environment of Purdan. While not an open world, the levels are large and offer ancillary paths for exploration to find extra resources and lore.

• Zula Hendricks: Playable Protagonist
  A rogue Colonial Marine on a mission to investigate a distress call on the remote planet Purdan. She is a trained soldier and hunter.
• Davis 01: Companion
  Zula's synthetic companion who provides assistance and narrative exposition throughout the mission.
• The Xenomorph: Primary Antagonist
  The iconic alien creature. The game features a variety of types, including Warriors, Praetorians, and Facehuggers, with advanced AI that allows them to hunt the player relentlessly.

• Chairman's Office Puzzle: Puzzle
  Use the pencil to reveal and input the code: Moon-Sun-Star-Moon.
• The Final Stand: Boss Fight
  Defeat Victor Gideon (Nemesis Form) using Leon's hatchet and Requiem revolver.

The game is available in a Standard Edition ($29.99) and a Digital Deluxe Edition ($39.99). The Deluxe Edition includes two cosmetic skins (armor and weapon) and a digital in-game artbook. Pre-ordering granted exclusive 'Alien: Romulus' inspired skins.

• Q: Does RE Requiem support Windows 10?
  A: No. Capcom has confirmed that Windows 11 (64-bit) is a strict requirement for this title.
• Q: Can I play the entire game in first-person?
  A: Yes. While protagonists have default perspectives, the camera can be toggled for both in the options menu.
• Q: How do I get the True Ending?
  A: At the ARK terminal, choose 'Release Elpis' and enter the password 'Hope'.
• Q: Is an SSD required for PC?
  A: Yes. Due to the high-speed asset streaming of the RE Engine, an SSD is mandatory for installation.
• Q: What is the benefit of resharpening the hatchet?
  A: It restores Leon's parry durability, allowing him to deflect grabs and Licker tongue attacks without breaking the weapon.

• Q: What is Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition?
  A: It is the non-VR, flat-screen version of the VR action-horror game, Alien: Rogue Incursion. It has been rebuilt for PC and consoles with upgraded visuals.
• Q: Is it like Alien: Isolation?
  A: No. While both are first-person horror games, Rogue Incursion is much more action-oriented, similar to the tone of the movie 'Aliens'. You fight hordes of Xenomorphs rather than hiding from a single, unkillable one.
• Q: How long is the game?
  A: It is described as Part One of a two-part story, with a runtime of approximately 8-9 hours for a single playthrough. It ends on a cliffhanger.
• Q: How does the save system work?
  A: The game uses a punishing, old-school manual save system. You can only save your progress at designated 'Panic Rooms' found in the levels. There are very few autosaves.

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Windows 11 is a strict requirement.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop GPUs typically perform 10-15% slower than desktop counterparts; ensure high TGP models for Ray Tracing.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Minimum 80W for RTX 3050/4050 mobile models to prevent thermal throttling.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Active cooling pads recommended for path-tracing sessions on laptops.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Unthrottled 'Best Performance' mode required for complex AI pathfinding.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Dedicated GPU mode (Discrete) recommended to reduce input lag during parries.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: DLSS 4 (Multi Frame Gen), FSR 4, and XeSS supported.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Ray Tracing and Hair Strands have the highest performance cost.
• Game Name: Resident Evil Requiem

• OFFICIAL PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for the Evolved (Flat-Screen) Edition. The requirements are demanding, reflecting the use of Unreal Engine 5. The original VR version had significantly higher requirements, especially for RAM.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop performance will vary based on the model's cooling and TGP. A modern gaming laptop that meets or exceeds the recommended specs is advised for a stable 60 FPS experience.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP for the laptop's GPU is essential to handle the advanced graphical features, physicalized fog, and intense lighting effects.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's visually rich and often chaotic encounters will require a laptop with a cutting-edge cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A strong mobile CPU is important for handling the advanced, adaptive AI of the multiple Xenomorph types.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is a critical feature for reducing latency and ensuring the best possible performance in a fast-paced FPS.
