It's a new half-life game made for VR. Is this a serious question?

Half Life: Alyx - Reveal Trailer & Interview (March 2020 for SteamVR)
- Thread starter Deleted member 8196

Going from the Final Hours interview, it sounds like the reason we don't have HL3 yet is because everyone at Valve is terrified of making it through fear of not living up to expectations, surely this is a test run to see how well they can pull of a HL experience before going completely in on a sequel.
I'm much more optimistic about HL3 after this.

Proper 3D movement is one of the most exciting things about this project for me, it kinda bums me out that most VR games seem to be based on teleportation
Yep indeed.
Shocked at how many people are commenting on the hands. It's such a non issue when in a headset.
As much as I'm disappointed that this is a VR only release (and I don't own a VR setup), there's no way I can deny how HUGE this is for the future of the platform. This will sell a gobsmacking amount of hardware. Hopefully it's truly the killer app VR needs. I suspect it will be.
If immersion is as big of a deal as VR evangelists say it is, I feel like it'd be a big deal that I'd suddenly be missing my forearms.

What's not to be excited for? Is not only the first Half-Life game in more than a decade, it could be the start of more games in the series. Basically speaking, the series is not dead.
Looks absolutely tremendous. I dove into VR this summer for DCS World and iRacing and it's been one of my best purchases. This will be icing on the cake.
the second best thing about this game is a non silent protagonist.
Doesn't look like they will be from the Steam page.
Happy to buy a capable PC + everything else for it.
It will be affordable eventually. Hang tight a few more years.
Other studios are out here taking existing IPs to new levels (like God of War) and executing on sequels (RDR2, Last of Us 2 most likely). I think they are hung up on it needing some sort of 'gimmick' that pushes the genre forward. Also, they don't need the money from a HL3 release the same way other studios would need to capitalize on a big sequel.
Geoff goes on to say it feels a "bridge to more Half Life" (his reasoning being all the asset and tech work etc) and Valve guys essentially say we'll wait and see how this shakes out before talking about other games/platforms. Pretty standard stuff.
Well then there's something seriously wrong with your perspective.
Okay folks, I have a Vive base and the 1.0 base stations.
Is it worth it to get the knuckle controllers at $270 w/ Alyx.

Hmm I doubt I'll have a new PC build by March unless Cyberpunk truly convinces me to go the PC route. I would love to know the specs and average price of a build to run this game at great settings.

Am I the only one not seeing this?
They went from photoreal to HEAVILY stylized.
Almost looks like Dishonoured.
