About this mod
Reshade mod preset with ray tracing effects to make the game look like the original 1979 Alien movie
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
For best results it is recommended to use the mod "Alias Isolation" and, in the video settings of the game, disable the film grain effect and set the the gamma range to a value of 1 or 2. Obviously, the personal adjustments of TV/Monitor can greatly influence the final image effect. In any case, the result should aim to a rather dark image.
Although it might seem contradictory, I wouldn't recommend a screen resolution higher than 1600x900 or 1920x1080 because at these two resolutions the game stands closer to the "analog" visual imprint of the original film, as well as ensuring a more stable frame rate as the mod greatly affects the fps performance.
Due to the Letterbox effect black bars are displayed on the top an bottom of the screen, hiding part of the text wich is not visible with this mod. The only always visible information is the type of weapon used at the moment, at the bottom left of the screen.
Although it could be a defect I consider it a further element of immersion and fidelity to the appearance of the film.
Installation: download and install Reshade version 5.1.0, select the game executable AI.exe. At the end of the installation unzip the content of the mod in the game's main folder. When in game, open the ReShade menu and select the preset "1979 MOVIE IMMERSION MOD".
