Thread 718470610

Does it really exist?

>>718470610 (OP)
No and we knew for decades now... Have you been living under a rock for past 20 years?

>>718470610 (OP)
They made Alyx a central character in their VR game, leading to it flopping like Metaphor: ReFantazio.

>flopped
>literally THE vr game
the only limiting factor of the game, was how many people 300 dollars filtered

>>718471636
I own the game and I won't play it because it has Alyx in the title.

>>718470610 (OP)
It's in the works, with late-stage development currently in progress. They're in the optimization phase, have patience. Release date likely next year.

>>718471694
its a first person shooter

>>718472554
It has Alyx in the name. No deal. It's like making:
>Final Fantasy: Aerith
>Star Wars: Jar Jar
>Mass Effect: Liara

>>718471694
It's mediocre anyway. HL2VR is a much better VR experience.

>>718472927
This is the most absolutely retarded thing people say. Alyx is fundamentally a VR game with controls and mechanics designed around it. HL2 is not.

>>718473021
Alyx is designed for toddlers and movement is teleport slop only with a gameplay loop that forces you to scrounge through drawers all the time because there's an AI director that dynamically spawn ammunitions to create false ammo scarcity.
HL2VR mod is a real fucking game, with all the controls adapted to VR.

Is this supposed to prove something? That means Valve won because you gave them money.
>"I-I... p-pirated it!!"
They still win because you have it installed.

>>718473021
Alyx is okay but when you say it's designed around being a VR game, in practice it just feels like there's constantly training wheels on especially in 2025 where everyone is used to free movement in VR. I don't want to teleport I wanna sprint and jump around and drive cars. I feel like the best vr games would just be regular ass flat games except with manual vr reloading tacked on and maybe some anti-sickness features like camera locking.

Stop talking about Half-Life 3 you fucking cunts.
We're supposed to get Episode 3 first.

Imagine thinking Valve made a game after 1998.

>movement is teleport slop only
Objectively wrong.
>gameplay loop
Ah, you're just a redditor pseud.
>>718473515
>but when you say it's designed around being a VR
I mean it's design around being a VR game from the controls to the exploration to the puzzles to gimmick sections like Jeff. HL2 simply isn't that. HL2 doesn't ever make use of the fact that you have 2 freely moving hands and can move your head around.

never ever

It exists. But it's not coming out any time soon. There's no point in anticipating it until Valve actually releases a trailer at a game conference or on Steam.

I will immediately blow $2k on the Deckard, or whatever it's called when it comes out as a VR exclusive title.

>>718474456
I don't care if HL2 doesn't have random gimmicky two hand puzzle sections. HL2 doesn't treat me like a baby it lets me play like a 2000s fps protagonist with 8 guns and free movement. I can still hang off a ladder and swing at a manhack with my VR MELEE CROWBAR. That shits cool and is not in alyx.

>>718475023
Only the dumbest of the dumb try to write off every new mechanic as a frivilous gimmick.
