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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

>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.

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.

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.
