Half Life: Alyx - Reveal Trailer & Interview (March 2020 for SteamVR)

[NLCPRESIDENT]

That actually looks amazing!

it probably won't but I hope it comes to psvr!

 

[Kalentan]

So this supports Oculus... So that means Quest + Link will work, right?

 

[legacyzero]

Source Engine 2, yes.

Click to shrink...

Is that confirmed Source 2?

Oh shit

 

[Falchion]

Looks awesome! The gun animations looks really good and I'm glad Half Life is back.

 

[Valcrist]

or any other vr system you want that works with steamvr

Click to shrink...

Probably not PSVR which is all I have. But IDK what is considered "good" as far as VR goes on PC either, nor do I have a PC powerful enough for decent VR anyway. I'm still running a 1060.

 

[Arkanius]

So fucking weird looking at a current gen City 17

 

[tadaima]

What do I need to buy to play this game?
(Mac user)

 

[DionardoLicaprio]

Looks good. I'll never play it, but it looks good.

Click to shrink...

Same.

Will probably play it if it releases on PS5 (PSVR2).

 

[Virtua Saturn]

So this supports Oculus... So that means Quest + Link will work, right?

Click to shrink...

Yes.

 

[digitalrelic]

 

[VN1X]

Does a GTX1080 do well with a VR headset or nah?

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm super excited for Alyx.

But also;

Hmn, that empty space on the official site to the right of Alyx...

 

[Mindfreak191]

Those disconnected hands look really weird to me. Totally kills the immersion.

Click to shrink...

It certainly looks better than your hands and arms bending in unnatural ways in front of your face which is the case in many VR titles.

 

[SilentRage47]

Can't wait to play it.

 

[Gevin]

This looks so good

 

[Kalentan]

Yes.

Click to shrink...

Sweeeeet.

 

[Milennia]

- $1000 from me im weak

 

[JediEagle]

Already own Valve Index? You'll get Half-Life: Alyx free, plus extra content.
:D Sweet. I know what I am saving up for :D

 

[Woiwode]

They didn't show any movment. Hopfully it is not that teleporting nonsense.

 

[Avis]

So fucking weird looking at a current gen City 17

Click to shrink...

Same goes for the Combine for me, they look bizzare at that high fidelity

 

[legacyzero]

FUCKING SOURCE 2 SDK

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

IT'S FINALLY HERE

Click to shrink...

OH SHIT WHAT

L4D3 WHEN

 

[Paganmoon]

Free with Index purchase.

 

[Spence]

Free for owners of Index, that's great!

 

[DSP]

can't they render the arms? is that a big challenge to get right?

 

[plagiarize]

So this supports Oculus... So that means Quest + Link will work, right?

Click to shrink...

Yes it does.

 

[scitek]

 

[Naga]

G-man though.

First game that makes me want to buy VR hardware.

 

[Geist]

I'm gonna spend so much money for this.

 

[DrDeckard]

pleas work on oculus rift with touch controllers

 

[NotLiquid]

seeing G-Man in a model that's not 2004 quality feels wrong but maybe it's because it's been like 15 years

 

[finalflame]

:D

 

[Tagyhag]

Does a GTX1080 do well with a VR headset or nah?

Click to shrink...

Definitely, my 1070 still holds up.

 

[Shryke]

That looks good. That is indeed a Half-Life game. Still don't know if should plunge into the VR world though. I would love to get an Index, but I can't justify paying $500+ for one game. If I get some other VR set, I fear it would be an inferior experience.

 

[Kaeden]

Click to shrink...

And now I have a new wallpaper for my PC. Thanks!

 

[denx]

Not a fan of floating hands, but aside from that it looks so good.

 

[vestan]

Game is free if you own Index, that's rad

 

[plagiarize]

can't they render the arms? is that a big challenge to get right?

Click to shrink...

It's very challenging to get right. No arms is often times less distracting than arms that don't look right, in my experience.

 

[JediEagle]

They didn't show any movment. Hopfully it is not that teleporting nonsense.

All covered:


Movement
TELEPORT
Fade out at point A, fade in at point B

SHIFT
Smoothly zoom from point A to point B

CONTINUOUS
Use analog stick to walk or run

 

[Falchion]

Just saw that it'll work with all pc vr headsets which is fantastic!

 

[Sexy Fish]

can't they render the arms? is that a big challenge to get right?

Click to shrink...

Your arms aren't tracked so that can fuck with your head I believe.

 

[nded]

Welp, looks like I'm saving up for an Index.

 

[SteveWinwood]

An okay/goodish trailer, but I wish it would have told you more on how you interact in the world? How do you move? Is it on rails? Is it primarily combat based or puzzle based? There is a lot more they could have showed for a game that will be out in a few months.

Click to shrink...

Hard to get a feel from the trailer whether you can move around freely like RE7 or is this going to be on rails somehow?

Click to shrink...

Wonder how they handle movement, def one of the biggest drawbacks of vr

Click to shrink...

 

[Teenage Fansub]

If you have to listen to a Kiwi accent barking at you all game, I'm so sorry.

 

[VN1X]

Definitely, my 1070 still holds up.

Click to shrink...

Thanks. Will be looking for Index deals then lmao.

 

[Theiea]

Holy shit, it looks amazing.

 

[J-Skee]

I have never port begged for any game before.

Valve, Sony. I don't know what needs to happen, but PLEASE work together to bring this to PSVR.

 

[fireworksordie]

And is that Rhys Darby?!

Click to shrink...

"present."

 

[Moebius]

https://www.half-life.com/en/alyx/

It's set between Half-Life and Half-Life 2.

 

[Avitus]

I can't believe how much time has passed and Valve still manages to make something that looks distinctively Source-y. Dat art style.

 

[DieH@rd]

IT LOOKS SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

HOW CAN I ADAPT PLAYSTATION VR TO PC!?!?!?!

Those disconnected hands look really weird to me. Totally kills the immersion.

Click to shrink...

They are quite natural when I am in VR. They actually increase the immersion by having solid interactive limbs, to see your hand positioning in the gameworld. It grounds player, and helps provide better feedback.
