Wouldn't movement with a little joystick akin to controllers be better than the warp?

For a lot of people, moving in-VR while you are not actually moving IRL quickly causes motion sickness. Warping from place to place negates that.

(and no, omni-treadmills like the ones in Ready Player One don't work - your inner ear still doesn't detect you moving)

I hate jumping - moving with an analogue stick is MUCH better for me in VR.... Like Trial of the Gods or whatever demo on my oculus.

Jumping off high obstacles in games is what fucks me up. It's very disorienting.

Sounds like a different voice actor for alyx, but they tried kinda hard to mimic her, giving me some kind of uncanny valley to my ears.

Agreed. The elevation changes in VR is what is going to get you feeling queesy if anything.

Sort of like the time I decided to fire up Ace Combat VR, standing up... while drunk.

Skyrim VR, with the constant up's and down's of the paths in dark dungeons was a real challenge to the constitution of my stomach.

Guessing it just take a special type of person to want to play a FPS with current VR tech, lol. Watching a few streams atm and the gameplay (as a viewer) is just bad. Give me a normal HL Alyx please.

definitely fun watching streams, but more in a "man this look awkward and kinda unfun". visuals are amazing though.

I played through the first area and it is pretty cool in VR. You get a real sense of scale that you can't get without VR.

The decision to NOT put in typical analogue movement was a mistake. Really bummed that you either have to continually move or use the teleport system. Otherwise, this is awesome so far.

Have you tried "continual move" ? It is what I am using and it seems fine to me, try it out. Uses the thumbsticks.

I'm using continuous move and it works great, I'm really digging the gameplay and love the ambience etc. It's really wild feeling the scale of the city.
