Half-Life: Alyx Official Thread

[MaXenzie]

dealing with parcelforce delayed me a week, but it's finally here.

Controllers feel really nice in hand, time to set this sucker up

Had the same issue, spent a few days dealing with parcelforce. I was lucky that I could buy it with steam wallet funds by selling some old TF2 and CSGO items that appreciated in value.

@dallahan drop the vid again my man but basically:

• More Alyx-related stuff coming at the VGA. Maybe gameplay?
  
• After Alyx releases we'll be seeing Valve open up about cancelled projects to gauge what may be worth bringing back and seeing what will work (ie; L4D3 & HL3 as it was)
• New community manager is baller

its just a playstyle for people who get motion sick, they move with the joystick in the demo too

most vr games have teleporting because its near impossible to play a vr game for long without it

Teleporting is a choice you're given pretty much, but it's kind of messy, however it's there for people who get motion sickness while playing VR.

God there's so much here I really wanna see in action so I can start adding it to the lore/see how it'd fit into Neb.

I'm guessing this may confirm penal citizens, too? Zombies with explosive anklets on them that blow up the headcrab when shot. Maybe they're just experiments, idk.

Pretty much a critical entry point in my opinion, analog stick movement is great once you've got a feel for things, but if you just jump right into something like boneworks which is smooth motion only, you're just physically hurting yourself.

Admittedly, more curious if they do a new version of the cremator.
Really want to see it, kinda picture it more as a modified vortiguant at this point.

I'm still struggling to comprehend that valve is actually releasing a game inside the half life universe.
