Half-Life: Alyx

Over/under on the VR being you mostly telling DOG to do shit for you instead doing it yourself

Been threatening to buy a VR set for a couple of years. This will push me over the edge.

And beer through a straw may not be cool, but if you are in a VR set, who cares?

Why isn't Bridge Crew on Quest? It shouldent be overly graphically burdensome

It's almost solely due to motion sickness. They need to come up with some tech to really overcome that.

Turning a fan on and letting it blow air on me a bit before playing and during play relieved motion sickness for me. I was skeptical it would work but it did.

PSVR would make me a little sick cause the tracking was terrible. I've never had a issue with my rift thankfully.

It better not suck... I’ve lost a good bit of faith in Valve after TF2/Dota hats, Artifact and even Underlords to a degree.

I got your fuckin back on this one. Cartoon hat sale simulator was a punch in the stomach after TFC.

Dota2 had it's time, then they added that puss in boots character or whatever it was and tried to be more like league with the jumping earth shaker and shit. Haven't played it since, but it started out in the right direction at least.

I have yet to see a VR game where player movement as a human on two legs isn't complete shit. Has any game come up with a reasonable mechanic?

It seemed right to me in Zero Caliber VR but I have nothing else to compare it to.

I enjoyed Red Matter.
I am not a fan of teleport movement systems, i HATE them actually. Red matter lets you have 2 movement methods:
1) control stick movement, this is fine for me, i'd like something better, but this is good enough
2) since the game takes place in low gravity, you have a jet pack, so you aim like a teleport system, but your guy gently lifts and glides to the new point, you can thrust for faster movement if needed. But this makes the movement feel as natural as possible for a VR game. It even feel pretty neat as you glide over a chasm for example.
some areas i'd walk around, then i'd use my jetpack to move up stairs, or levels, or down from areas.
this made the game not feel disconnected, which i enjoyed.

This game is going to be awesome for the 23 people who own VR sets.

Dude, get an oculus quest and be done with it. With the Oculus Link coming out by end of year and the ability to play any vr game from the Oculus or Steam VR library, i don't see the issue if you want VR.

If I wanted one, I'd have one. I don't want one, just like most other people out there. Steams own hardware survey shows 1% of gamers have VR headsets. Why they are making a VR game that most people won't buy is a really strange decision, and even stranger because people want a game in the HL universe and Valve is basically telling everyone to fuck off.
