It will, but being VR its going to look a lot more pixelated
No at all! That's the most annoying thing when trying to look at a VR game's raw gameplay on youtube.
I do think the game is beautiful but it's mostly due to art direction, I don't see anything super crazy about how it looks if anything it looks less technically "intensive" than let's say, Gears 5.
Have you tried any of the latest headsets in a standing environment/game? They have made some progress with motion sickness.
I've played with the Oculus Rift S a few months back and I wasn't too impressed with its IQ. That's a shame, cause the trailer looks absolutely bonkers.
Haven't tried VR in like 1 year +? Not exactly sure. I've lost any interest in it after all the bad experiences before.
It's probably asked but what VR headset is compatible with this that will be on sale next Friday?
Yeah sure, that looks interesting enough to keep an eye on. Maybe my Vive will finally get to play something else, and not just be a glorified Beat Saber machine, which to be fair is an amazing game.
its on amazon right now
heres the release thread
Still nothing in Australia lol
Not that I'd probably buy a headset for this, but still.
Isn't the game like finished and completed.
I don't think they're going to fake graphics of a completed game.

overcoming FOMO makes gaming much more cost effective lol
This game already has the "Masterpiece" tag on Steam. Valve be like "we already know we got this"
This is the best looking vr game ive seen, not so much in graphics tho it looks incredible, but in the vr animations. Course that could all just be the trailer tricks, but it might inspire me to buy a vr headset
Yeah, even with all the progress they have made, the headsets and IQ still feel like first generation tech. I bought a Vive Pro in the beginning of the year, but returned it after a week. I tried a bunch of the demos and virtual tours, and it is all very promising, but nothing was really compelling beyond the initial novelty of it. Half Life looks and sounds like it may be that killer app, but the headset IQ still has a long way to go before I buy another one.
Those are defined by users not Valve. Click it discover all the wonderful "masterpieces"
TBH, even though I bought a headset today and am pumped for this game, I do kind of wish it was coming to PSVR. I think the hype would be even higher around here with less negative comments. Black Friday is coming up and those headsets will be at a good price. Plus there are other games there like Astro Bot, Beat Saber and such I'm sure some people want to check out, but can't justify the headset on just 1 game.
Not only is the thirst real, it's long since passed critical mass
I have an original Vive, running on a GTX1070.
Index owners, if you had to pick only one, what would you consider the biggest upgrade of these options?
-Index headset
-Index controllers
-GPU upgrade
I'm considering just going with the controllers as I'm not sure my 1070 can really do the Index headset justice.
Good move?

1. We forgive you king!
2. Holy mother of god this game looks amazing. I would not be surprised in the slightest if this turns out to be a worthy successor to HL2. Every instinct in my body says this is going to be pure awesomeness.
3. Fuck. I'm probably going to have to buy a Valve Index :(

The first Portal 2 trailer had much higher visual fidelity than the final game.
The actual game has none of that volumetric lighting.
Lol, if they wanted Half-Life to die they would just not release the game period.
Alright alright. So I got a chance to sit down and watch this on my headphones instead of the shitty computer speaker at work/on a bigger screen. My hype is actually rising now. It was much, much more of a teaser than a trailer, but... I need to see more.
I'm still incredibly, incredibly disappointed that Merle Dandridge isn't returning to the role though.
Do we know why this didn't happen? Sorry if it's already been answered. She was just fantastic.

Alyx is like Late teens/early 20s in HL:A and they wanted her to have a younger voice. Merle seems pretty excited about the game on twitter regardless though
Portal 2 was a good example of how old PS3/360 were by 2011 & how much they were holding games back, even in the dev commentary they mention having to rewrite a lot of code because of 360's CPU.
WHOOPS lol
MEH, that's not a big difference! Did they even allow her to audition? There's a grown woman who plays Clementine in TWD series and and older version (teenish I believe?)
Isn't Alyx like 20s in HL2/episodes anyway?
So...
They're giving us a game about saving a guy we watched die during the cliffhanger ending of a game they'll never make a sequel to.
Cheeky bastards.

I'd probably go with controllers now and hold off on the HMD until you upgrade your GPU. I have a 1080 and feel like I'm just barely getting by with it. You could probably still get by with a 1070 but you'd need to make sacrifices on the more demanding games. I'd hold off on the Index until next year when nvidia releases their next line of GPUs. I'm really looking forward to that so I can up my refresh rate to 120 and use more SS
The price tag is hard to swallow but the controllers unless you really have no issues with the Vive Wands.
Actually yeah, this is the right choice if you have a Vive as long as you don't feel the need to upgrade your headset for the next few years. I have an Index with the controllers but it was hard leaving my wireless Vive behind. It was a huge leap in usability.
