Half Life: Alyx - Reveal Trailer & Interview (March 2020 for SteamVR)
- Thread starter Deleted member 8196
- Start date
A large part of the current tools are still outdated or not very applicable outside DOTA 2. Now it seems like a big update that allows for all kinds of VR experiences.
I used to work in the VR industry so I'm familiar with the Portal VR stuff. It looks good (art style change not withstanding), but it's more that it looks good for a VR game. If this was a normal Half-life game I would expect something more in line with the 2003 reveal.
Resident Evil 7 looks much more realistic to me.
Finally found some footage of what From Other Suns does:
Your character runs out of your body as you hold the thumbstick, and your view snaps to the new body position when you stop moving. This isn't how I'd play Alyx, but I think it's a very good comfort option to have and preferable to bog-standard teleportation. I don't think "Shift" in that diagram is referring to something like this.

oh shit I didn't make the connection but Dario Casali is one of the dudes that made Plutonia for Doom 2 back in the day. I knew he worked at Valve but didn't realize that was him.
so we can expect a lot of Chaingunners in HLVR

God damnit, now we need someone to help us fools get into the VR game. I have no idea what to look at and buy.
Don't wanna go too cheap, don't wanna go all out cause I dunno how much VR I'm going to do. Shit.

This is hype ! Time to buy a VR headset ? I was waiting for PSVR 2 but it's probably not gonna be compatible with PC right ? ;(
Looks pretty amazing for a vr experience. Really hope they will invest some time and try release also like a normal non-vr version for normal players, because this feels like a full pledged game to me for some reason.
Let's Hope it's the start of a new era for valve which they will go back to releasing quality games!

I didn't claim the game was nonlinear. I'm saying within that linearity there was lots of chances for exploration and experimentation with the games physics. I remember spending hours just messing around with the gravity gun, just seeing what I could manipulate.
I can only go by what's shown but this seems more like a straight forward cinematic style game as opposed to the sandbox style of the first two.
Oh FFS Valve you bastards, I want to be able to play it but have no VR and no room for VR.
I am both very salty and very sad right now

You can play sitting down with an analog stick.
You do have to use motion controls though.
lol didn't even realize I was still just in the other thread.
This is a dream come true and seems to be the HL2 I always wanted.

Well Dota 2's src 2 is very much specifically for that game and nothing else. But as far as Valve says this version will be the full legitimate release of SRC2, and it's tools.
I can only imagine that they will have a completely finished SFM, Hammer and the rest of the tools not available in the Dota 2 SDK currently will as well.
I hope we get an in depth gameplay demo at TGS, I want to see some crazy physics stuff going on here.
literally everything Valve has been releasing in VR for the last several years have been insanely interactive small demos. Valve is one of the best studios in the world right now for building insanely interactive VR.
Thanks for the reply. Is the Quest just as accurate without the sensors?
Yeah, but only on the quest games, which are much less interesting than the PC lineup.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake and a new Half Life game comes out in the same month...
we have gotten Kingdom Hearts 3, The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3...
Never give up.
