Really disappointed that these three VR-Flagship games valve announced 3 years ago turned out to be VR games
Who could have seen that coming

ValveNewsNetwork: Left 4 Dead VR is real, new HL:A news at TGAs

No, because actual VR is far more ambitious in term of gameplay than anything being made today in "classic games".
Hardly any game worth playing uses teleporting anymore.
I mostly play competitive "fps" shooters in VR and they're all free movement.
Someone has to lead the way to the future.
You're surprised Valve took the first step?
Impossible without making an almost entirely separate game, since these (judging by Alyx reveaL) rely heavily on VR input methods which dictate gameplay elements.
Sorry, it was sarcasm. I know, it's pretty hard to tell nowadays since some people actually think that going by this thread. :")
It really felt shitty to return to flat games after I got my VR set. Why am I looking at this world in a computer screen instead of actually being there surrounded by it, touching it?
Pretty much the story of the game industry in general. Every major advancement has been forced on gamers, and thank god it was, because otherwise the luddites of the gaming world would have us all playing ATARi games in 2019.
I thought L4D has been a known thing. Was watching VNN's videos a couple of weeks ago, where Tyler talks about how the canceled / on-hold L4D3 (tentative title) would have some VR functionality for one or two of the characters.
EDIT: Regardless, I'm in even if it turns out to be exclusive to VR... Just need to get me a VR headset first, lol.

Why would you never even *TRY* VR?
What's the point of that?
Also, you're 100% not getting non-vr versions of these exact games, it's just not feasible. Maybe some future iterations (sequels), but not these ones.
None of this came as a surprise to anyone paying the least bit of attention, either.
Please stop with what's essentially port begging at this point.
User Warned: Trolling
I know many hardcore L4D fans. Unfortunately, they won't be playing this game. L4D multiplayer VR? What?!
he wasnt sure if the plan for 3 VR games was still a thing and at the time was only 100% HL was happening in VR only but yeah L4D was pretty clear to be the next game.
Probably not since VR is better than traditional games while motion based gaming is worse.
Are people seriously complaining about VR?
Valve is trying to push new technology & innovate game design, this is exactly why we love Valve's games in the first place.
They are always eye opening & creative experiences that makes us realize the true potential of video games.
I don't even have a VR, hell I don't even have a PC capable of running VR, but I'm absolutely fucking thrilled to see Valve doing new & groundbreaking stuff again.
You can always buy VR or a PC in the future when it's more cost effective to do so, just like many people didn't get to play Half-life 2 until after 2007 where they can finally afford a decent PC with relatively cheap price.
Just because we don't get to play it now doesn't mean we can't appreciate these bold, innovative titles utilizing groundbreaking technology.

True. I guess what threw me off with his tweet was where he said it's "real", since I thought that was already established. I guess what he meant was more along the lines of "It's still happening"?
Plenty of piss poor "advancements" have been attempted to be push on gamers and thankfully failed.
yeah like its still happening/is a full VR game. We will learn more when he posts a video about it im sure
Yes, and it's a good thing VR isn't a piss poor advancement, by a very large consensus of people that have actually used it. All despite it being very early technology that can only get better with each iteration.
a more accurate comparison would be if lets say Bethesda came out and released a Bethesda VR headset, told people they are working on flagship vr games and make it clear development is moving to a Elder Scrolls VR game and then they announce Elder Scrolls: Morrowind for all VR platforms.
even then its not exactly the same.
and no I wouldnt really be pissed if Destiny 3 was a VR game, in fact it would actually be what pulls me into the game considering how Destiny 1 and 2 ended up. Ill play Cyberpunk 2077 regardless but if say Cyberpunk 3000 was a VR only game I would lose my mind (in a good way lol)
Not at all the same because Valve have been researching VR for almost a decade and announced 3 VR games almost 3 years ago. They have an actual responsibility to be making VR games for the foreseeable future.
However, even if it were the same, people shouldn't be doing more than venting their frustration. The moment that steps into justification to hate against VR is where they've crossed the line.
the same way people would be annoyed when a game would be announced exclusive for a new console?
Can you list down what you thought to be piss poor and otherwise?
Couldn't say it better. It is the exact opposite of the Kinect situation.
As for all the people who dismiss VR from the get-go. I really don't understand it. The company tries something ambitious and we should commend it at least for trying that. It may end up being disappointing but it may just as well end up being leagues better from the current VR offerings. If this happens - if all the reviews tell you that this is the next level of VR, will you still be saying that you are not interested, because it is VR? Where is this dogmatism coming from?
