Is there a new render for Alyx? thats actually one of the things i was more excited to see. At least G-Man looks fucking amazing.

SOURCE 2 SDK

 

[Tiktaalik]

Hard to get a feel from the trailer whether you can move around freely like RE7 or is this going to be on rails somehow?

 

[aisback]

Damn my PC isn't good enough so looks like I'm upgrading sooner then later.

 

[NotLiquid]

Half-Life: Alyx is Valve's VR return to the Half-Life series. It's the story of an impossible fight against a vicious alien race known as the Combine, set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Playing as Alyx Vance, you are humanity's only chance for survival.

There's plenty of gameplay in the trailer. Looks really good.

Looks like all purchases of the Index will come with the game.

[Mirage]

This looks so cool, seems like they're making good use of VR which was to be expected.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

I want to be hyped but I'm not a PC gamer so maybe it will get ported to next gen VR. Looks cool and I hope they use these assets to make,... I can't even muster the strength to have optimism that this will lead to anymore Half Life imho

otherwise it looks great but it's hard to get excited for it being PCVR only

 

[Deleted member 28523]

FUCKING SOURCE 2 SDK

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

IT'S FINALLY HERE

 

[rashbeep]

Wonder how they handle movement, def one of the biggest drawbacks of vr

 

[N.Domixis]

I don't think L4D2 was either

 

[Vire]

Fuck now I'm even more bummed about the VR thing.

Buy a 2,000 dollar gaming rig then a 1000 dollar VR headset just for one game? Can't do it.

 

[Lord Vatek]

Yeah it looks okay but not "Buy VR immediately" good.

 

[BrucCLea13k87]

It looks so fucking good. I love the art direction in the Half-Life franchise. Man I wish it would come to next-gen platforms, but it probably won't.

 

[Skux]

Kiwi accents in my AAA games!?

 

[bobnowhere]

Is that Rhys Darby from Flight of the Conchords and Jumanjii as the kiwi guy?

Oh shit

 

[Deleted member 11182]

Looks great. It's refreshing to see a trailer for a big budget game that doesn't feature an emo vocal song.

 

[Nida]

Well that looks gorgeous.

Based on the environments shown, I'm guessing this isn't a 1-2 hour experience.

 

[s0l0kill]

Give it to me now FFS, It's so good seeing a proper AAA game in VR, looks amazing.

 

[Einbroch]

It'll work on my Oculus Quest when it's connected to my PC?

All I needed to hear.

Is this a continuation of the events of

Click to shrink...

Half-Life 2: Episode 2? Is this a full story on par with a major Half-Life title or is it episodic?


Half-Life: Alyx is set in the aftermath of the Combine invasion of Earth, before the return of Gordon Freeman in Half-Life 2. While it does take place before the events of Half-Life 2, we actually recommend that you play through Half-Life 2: Episode 2 before you play Half-Life: Alyx, for reasons that will become clear as you progress. It's not a side story, nor an episodic one — it's the next part of the Half-Life story, in a game around the same length as Half-Life 2.

[Papacheeks]

I bet this is their test of the new engine they had been working on for a long time. I bet we get another announcement soon for a full on NOn-VR half life title.

 

[StrangerDanger]

Fuck, this looks really good but it'll look ten times better if it wasn't VR with these stupidass floating hands.

Click to shrink...

Naw...... This looks like a carbon copy of HL2, i don't think anyone wants another HL2 if its going to be a AAA project.
If they ever make a HL3, they definitely need to modernize or recreate the enemies to be more sinister looking or scary. The headcrabs and zombies for example look very dated

 

[deejay8595]

WOOWW..CRAZY!!!

 

[segata_san]

WOW

 

[MRORANGE]

FINALLY

Dibs on OT lol.

honestly even if this is Half Life: Lost Coast VR, fine whatever. Most won't buy VR for it but atleast it's something.

[Serene]

This looks amazing.

 

[Titanpaul]

I don't regret selling my Vive a few years ago but I sure wish I had one for this.

 

[bounchfx]

Looks absolutely incredible. Comes out so soon too! Fuck, time to get my VR back set up. At least I can finally play beatsaber now aha

[plagiarize]

Head crabs are fantastic in VR, but do you now what's even better?

Manhacks. Those are stunning in VR. So fun.

 

[Z6E1Z9O]

that looks absolutely awesome

 

[J2d]

Looks great, maybe this will get me into vr..
