Looks great, but there's just not enough excitement left in me for Half Life to justify the expense of upgrading (likely outright replacing) my current PC and buying a VR setup. Looking forward to other's impressions though!
Shame VR is overpriced bullshit.
Don't get me wrong I love the concept of VR, I've loved playing VR games on my work's VR suite, but unless it's under £100 it's unaffordable bullshit for me.
Game looks great, jealous of those rich enough to afford VR.

I was obviously talking in terms of reachable audience, not the tech.
A lot of VR games have continuous walking now with the thumbstick and I'm sure this one will as well. I don't know if it's just me getting my VR legs or if devs have started to figure out how to keep people comfortable but I no longer get any sickness walking around in VR. I do need to keep snap turning on though, continuous turn still makes me sick. I find it better to physically turn around in RL instead.
Looks like she has some form of proto-gravity gun on her hands?
The one thing, the one thing, that worries me about this game, is that I am an absolute pansy when it comes to even mildly disconcerting environments in VR, and this looks to be a fully fledged horror game in some segments. I'm worried I will get it, then not be able to bring myself to play through some sections.

Nice to see they brought in Stephen McHattie for Gman duty. Trailer looked awesome, I'll have to look for a cheap VR headset I guess.
Hyped more than I expected. Sad that Eli had to be revoiced and it's not quite the same as Robert Guillaume though, that'll be distracting

I got a mixed reality headset + controllers for $80 here in buy/sell/trade
All the info is on the website. It's a further updated version of Source 2.
Please point me in the direction of the non HL: Alyx official HL game set between HL1 and 2. I'm waiting with bated breath!
Innovation is not free, developing new technology is expensive.
You can get your "VR legs" over time, yup. The first time I tried a game with non-teleporting movement I felt pretty bad, but I found out that playing cartoonish games helped a lot there (I got my "VR legs" with Compound VR, a sort of Wolf 3d like game). Of course, the time it takes for you to get adjusted to it might vary.
Thinking it through and checking the videos I'm just not seeing myself playing a game with completely cut off surroundings, flailing my arms around.
This does not change the fact that HL: A, the game desing and the technology all does look great and everyone's excitement for it is completely valid. This is just a subjective thing that I can't really fancy the VR platform.
I'm hoping that I'm gonna get a more traditional, "flat" HL experience in the future, but if not that's also cool. I had my share of fun with the previous installments. Maybe one day I'll give this a shot over at a friend's place or something.

On the website, mentioned in the first section - it will appear in your library in March 2020
This! I guess it's very hard to make the hands connected and not look so disjointed. But yeah, it sure ruins the immersion.
VR makes you "completely cut off from your surroundings" like wearing headphones makes you completely deaf to the outside world.
Play with the teleport movement or with the comfort options this will very likely have. Barring that, chew ginger candy while playing.
This reads more like "constrained by my wallet".
which is true for many of us.
A PCgamer article already confirmed that her gloves are a gravity gun prototype :D
It went away for me after a little while of using it. Used to get dizzy playing some of the launch stuff, Spell Fighter put me on my ass the first time I tried using smooth locomotion. Got used to it after a few sessions and now I can handle anything in VR even doing flips in Sairento. Everyone is different though can try taking it at your own pace or try using medicine or anything with ginger in it.
VR legs are definitely a thing yeah. Back when I first started RE7 I thought I'd never get used to it, but a few hours of playing gradually made it better.
Reading that some people, possibly those who bought the Index in recent days, are seeing it in their library already.On the website, mentioned in the first section - it will appear in your library in March 2020
His voice is so fucking good in everything he does, be it nightstalker, viper or zoom from the flash.
Can attest to this. When I started using smooth locomotion I couldn't play for more than 15 minutes at a time. Now I'm completely immune to it.
There are so many reasons why you may feel sick with VR, without context, no one can answer this for you.
- Poor quality, old headset, old tracking methodology, display methodology
- Poor FPS
- Poor Tracking
- Poorly designed game
- Poor resolution
- Poorly designed game
- Incorrectly set eye relief, IPD, field of view etc
If you tried mobile VR, or Labo, this is entirely unsurprising, as most are awful or can track poorly and thus making you sick
I do it pretty much all the time when using VR. Honestly I never notice the lack of arms, although some people consider it better having arms it really is not a big deal.
