It's set between the events of Half-Life 1 and 2 and stars Alyx, as the title suggests.
"Alyx Vance and her father Eli secretly mount the resistance to the brutal occupation of Earth by a mysterious alien race known as The Combine," reads the game's description. "As Alyx, players take the fight to the Combine to save the future of humanity."
Despite ostensibly being a killer app for Valve's own VR headset, the Valve Index, Half-Life: Alyx will be compatible with "all PC-based VR headsets" when it releases in March 2020. Screenshots thus far depict Alyx having hands, which is something that was technically already canon, but now her hands are your hands, and you get to use items like the enticingly named "gravity gloves." If they are not somehow involved in a game of fetch with Dog, I'll eat a Vortigaunt.

Man you can tell they put a lot of thought into the gameplay systems and what they could take advantage of vr to do.
Damn I'm hyped.

Insane. They did it. Real good looking VR integration, amazing graphics. Actual Half-Life.

Edit: And just 45€

Alyx's dad, while having a different VA, is speaking lines from Episode 2, isn't he...?

Looks pretty good. We're getting a new HL in 2020... feels really weird to say it lol

Looks amazing as fuck, which makes it an even heavier-handed slap in the face that if it's VR only I probably won't ever play it :\

edit: Also lol'd hard at "It's unloaded.. now!"
