It's set between the events of Half-Life 1 and 2 and stars Alyx, as the title suggests.
"Alyx Vance and her father Eli secretly mount the resistance to the brutal occupation of Earth by a mysterious alien race known as The Combine," reads the game's description. "As Alyx, players take the fight to the Combine to save the future of humanity."
Despite ostensibly being a killer app for Valve's own VR headset, the Valve Index, Half-Life: Alyx will be compatible with "all PC-based VR headsets" when it releases in March 2020. Screenshots thus far depict Alyx having hands, which is something that was technically already canon, but now her hands are your hands, and you get to use items like the enticingly named "gravity gloves." If they are not somehow involved in a game of fetch with Dog, I'll eat a Vortigaunt.
thats what the trailer is forit's a prequel FYI
also the whole video is an interview, no gameplay
YedAlyx's dad, while having a different VA, is speaking lines from Episode 2, isn't he...?
In VR you won't really notice it.Those disconnected hands look really weird to me. Totally kills the immersion.
