This looks amazing, I can see this changing the mind of people who were initially turned off by this being in VR.
Better to go Quest at that point for the stand alone value too
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.
Those disconnected hands look really weird to me. Totally kills the immersion.
I don't know how demanding this will be, but I've got a laptop with a 1060 that can run something like Robo Recall just fine.Probably not PSVR which is all I have. But IDK what is considered "good" as far as VR goes on PC either, nor do I have a PC powerful enough for decent VR anyway. I'm still running a 1060.
This game is going to be the showcase piece for the Valve Index, from a visual, audio and gameplay point of viewI wonder if any vr headsets will have benefits over another? she didnt seem to move around the environment so that I am a bit concerned about.
Easily
Built from the ground up for VR so no
So it's a prequel....but also you need to play episode 2?
Some of Eli's lines are from Episode 2.....so wtheck is going on, lol.
curious that they officially label it 'the next part of the half-life story' - implying there will be more coming later?
Either way, Source 2 coming (and having mod support) is something to look forward to, even without taking Alyx specifically into account.
