People say this will ruin other VR games for me. Are they right?

>>715157168 (OP)
>Half Life Alyx
unironically woke

It depends on how well you demand HQ graphics, most of my favourite VR games are based on gameplay and immersion.

Nothing will look better than Alyx, with the exception of some demos. But there plenty of VR games with better gameplay, and with more freedom, can offer better immersion. Like compare Boneworks to Alyx, even with the bugs, feels so much better to play, heck even the HL2 VR mod plays better than Alyx

graphics/budget/production value-wise, yeah
interaction/VR-implementation/gameplay-wise, nah

>>715157168 (OP)
>other vr games
yeah all two of them. vr is dead. again. for like the third time

>>715157715

>>715157715
How so?

I am legitimately curious, I hate woke shit---- but love half life

>replaced black VA with different black VA who was friends with campo santo
not woke but shitty to pull on merle, she had done most of the voice acting for the game before they hired the firewatch guys

>>715157168 (OP)
99% of people, especially on this board, think that Alyx is the only VR game in existence. I haven't personally played it since I've yet to play through the Half-Life games, but there are outstanding VR games out there. People just aren't willing to look

>>715158737
Grok says it's not

>>715157168 (OP)
no, but boneworks/lab is going to ruin hl alyx for you

>>715157168 (OP)
no. ignore the haters there are at least 20 great VR games

>>715158937
Name 3. Don't say Boneworks.

>>715159009
bonelab was a disappointment, quest-first design made the main draw of the game into wii sports while the story was sidelined and ends with "make it yourself lol!"
the only good mission was the final one because it utilized your different transformations, and right when that's getting good the game ends

>>715159009
Boneworks might be more interactive and gunplay stronger but the story and level design was lame as fuck. HL Alyx comfortably clears it imo.

>>715159152
HL Alex, Skyrim VR, Superhot, Boneworks, Beat Saber, RE4, Walking Dead, Pistol Whip, No Mans Sky, Blade and sorcery, that's all I can think of.

>>715159161
Arken Age
Underdogs
No More Rainbows

>>715159161
Have my copy pasta. I've played a little bit of Sniper Elite VR since then and it seems like it's gonna be dope

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

>>715159692
If a game is good I will buy it. I don't have time or care for bullshit drama.

>>715159292
you can experience the story and level design on youtube, the gameplay is the important part
doesn't help that alyx has 3 weapons (2 really since the shotgun is fucking useless)

>>715159440
>>715159656
Vanilla Skyrim VR is broken for me. In the intro the cart spins out of control every time.
I had to install FUS to make it playable.
Once I was in though, damn. Really feels like a different game, even though I already have 100s of hours in it.

>>715160145

>>715160298
my reaction was more like

>>715158737
>instead of giving Gordon a sendoff, Valve digs up HL's corpse just to give the female person of color a game
Pretty woke.

>>715160561
it ends with gordon picking up the crowbar and going "time to get to work"

>>715160648
Does he then penetrate her with the crowbar? If so I will buy it right now.

>>715160682
no she gets kidnapped because she is a woman

If it's babby's first VR game then sure you might be impressed. If you've played any other decent VR game then the only think you might be impressed is the production value and maybe the story? VR mechanics in this are as barebones and shallow as they get. The one good and convenient thing it does is that essentially telekinesis thing that lets you pick up objects without having to bend down for example.

I found ammo management while zombies invade my personal space to be incredibly annoying in VR

>>715161131
>the only thing you might be impressed with*
I'm tired and got the ESL disease

>>715157168 (OP)
I wonder how Gman is "training" her

I played without vr.

>>715157168 (OP)
Not really. It still uses the clunky motion controls, around which it's entire gameplay is centred around. Read everything is slowed down to accomodate the clumsy player

You won't see the full potential of VR until you play some fast-paced spectacle shooter in it. Like fear 1 or trepang 2

>>715157168 (OP)
Why is her tummy so fucking perfect!

>>715161504
Like manual reloading being an issue for you or the game design of drip feeding you ammunition

>>715163610
The first
Mostly all I'm complaining about is I put the game game down for a long while then when I returned to it I had forgotten how to reload and was trying to figure it out in a room full of zombies that were getting right up in my face and making their HL zombie noises
It pissed me off so bad I never touched it again.

>>715158737
>combine portrayed as bad
>even though they're simply cleaning up dangerous alien wildlife for the benefit of humans
>play as human (woke) woman (even woker) (we don't need women to reproduce)
>makes you kill combine stabilization team delegates which is wrong, not to mention unrealistic
>break into a combine facility to free a dangerous space entity that helps woke anti-combine causes and seeks to destroy combine society

>>715157168 (OP)
>has Alyx in it
Pass.

>>715161504
That feeling when you learn how to reload calmly and quickly while zombies and combine are all around you is great however

>>715157168 (OP)
FULLY

>>715158937
I just want something in a modern setting with good graphics like HLA. There are a few games like that, but most VR games have amateur level graphics and visual polish.

>>715165049
UEVR and play practically anything.

>>715165108
UEVR will make every gun manually reloadable and make it possible to interact with any physics object in the game world?

>>715165279
Rhetorical but of course not and that's exactly why these retarded posters never mention it.

>>715165279
>>715165502
No, but it will make the game more fun, faggots.

>>715165502
I love full on physics system and manual reload as much as the next vr fag but a good game with good enough 6dof aiming and rendering is good enough.
If you truly cared to convert a UE game to full on VR physics then nothing stop you from writting a plugin to uevr or modding blueprints to the game itself.

>>715157168 (OP)
It's very polished but also unambitious. It all depends on what you're looking for with VR. People primarily looking for ambition with VR titles typically prefer stuff like Boneworks compared to Alyx.

>>715164294
>t.

>>715165108
UEVR is a pile of gay trash if it isn't a proper VR conversion mod. Even then, most regular titles that can be converted don't account for how slow human movement is. It's wild to me that people like the injection mods. It's not even VR. It's just you controlling the camera with your head

>>715165279
No. For example, there's a mod for Final Fantasy Rebirth and Cyberpunk. It's just you controlling the camera with your head and you still need to use a regular controller/keyboard. Then there are more proper conversion mods like the ones for Gunfire Reborn and Aliens Fireteam Elite. It's neat at first, until you realize that the game moves way to fast for human movement. You won't get far into the game at all. Plus they never have proper reload or the ability to interact with the world.

All that being said, I think the only conversion mods that actually work from start to finish are ones for really old games like Halo CE and Half-Life. These games are slow enough (and on at least normal difficulty) that you can realistically get through a campaign without frustration in VR. If you can at least do that much, then the lack of manual reload and world interaction can be forgiven. Unfortunately these are like the only titles you can do that.

>>715159009
>no, but boneworks/lab is going to ruin hl alyx for you

I don't think this is true. I played boneworks second and I wish I played it first so I could be more impressed that it came out before alyx. You get more interactivity and experimental concepts but it's also more jank, I'm still skeptic about minutiae of the controls, way less polish, and production resources. Actually everything about it is mid and it's only an impressive achievement because its an indie game, and because it was the first of its kind to release. Atmosphere, combat, music, puzzles, it's just better than ok. Your experience might be heavily carried by it being your first VR experience.

>>715159440
hitman PSVR2 upgrade but its not on pc

>>715161504
>>715164015
Enemies are very bullet spongey and I'm surprised that the game got through an army of playtesters. The manual reload action is very demanding. Eventually I just started holding a second magazine in my offhand so it was ready to go.

Another thing I found out is don't try to aimshot zombies like a scared rookie cop, their stagger walk is actually very effective for dodging. Just walk up and execute them like pic related, their attack is slow.

>>715165108
>>715165279
consider UEVR for third person games where it's just high fov display and you don't crave first person interactivity

>>715167850
No thanks, I have a proper headset

She's in Gman's dark room getting filled with alien tentacle 24/7

>>715159440
no mans sky's VR is meant for a seated experience and people should know that going in. If you manually turn the hud won't turn with you.

>>715168547
the problem is you have to buy a ps5

>>715158948
pretty fair answer by grok actually.

>>715158737
you think valve being in sweeet baby clients page was for... dota or counter strike?

>>715168838
If you're specifically talking about the Hitman thing, then I believe it's the same as the Meta version. PC is the only one getting fucked over. If you're talking about the PSVR2, it's had PC support since August of last year

>>715169427
There's at least 3 VR hitmans

There's a VR mode for hitman 3 that was for PSVR1 and PC and it was undercooked.

There's a standalone meta version with shit graphics

Then IO interactive updated the hitman3 VR for PSVR2 and made it a proper VR game. That's PCVR2 only and the upgrade hasn't been pushed to the PC version.

>>715170173
What a mess. Fuck Meta and PlayStation for their exclusivity bullshit.

>we could have had a vr source 2 mod renaissance
>valve refused to release the sdk
>even modders who tried to work within its constraints gave up
I'm still pissed at them for not putting out anything more than a map editor. It's a huge missed opportunity.

>>715168856
Post proof, I am living in denial.
Afraid to look...

>>715171174
Supposedly s&box lets you do VR things but I haven't tried any of the games nor tried to develop one myself.

>>715171318
>Supposedly s&box lets you do VR things
But at that point you should just use Unity or Unreal.

>>715171454
I suppose that's true until it lets you mount content from Alyx or whatever.

>>715164294
I'm tired of the wokebine.

>>715165502
I always praise UEVR when it deserves it faggot. Most used program besides vorpx to get the most out of the headset

>>715168513
These faggots don't care about that, they are salty they cant use their waggle sticks to molest random pieces of props inside the gameworld

The failed console motion control crowd has latched onto the headset sand trying to drag it also down with them
