kaz 2,439 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 this is the first real VR game if you like it or not. I will play it this weekend. I can't wait @Ramza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 This game is incredible, there's nothing like this in VR, like absolutely nothing. The amount of presence in this world is incredible, you completely forget everything around you. They nailed this, it's Half-Life through and through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the first VR game that actually feels like a real game in VR. Not trying to sell you on a gimmick, not trying to turn something that isn't into something else, like a AAA game you can tell was from the bottom up built around the entire concept of what can be done with VR. It's next-level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Valve has the luxury of being able to invest heavily in a single game even if it is exclusive to VR (especially if it has the Half Life name). Most other developers aren't able to take that risk.

Twinblade★ 3,893 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Anyway the game itself is pretty good, though it still has a lot of the limitations of the typical VR game. Teleporting to move around is still not ideal and makes it feel like you're just controlling a floating camera which lessens the immersion. The gravity gloves are a great mechanic though, and make interacting with the environment easy and intuitive. Edited March 24, 2020 by Twinblade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that notion is ridiculous and vastly exaggerated. Especially with tons of traditional games being successfully ported into VR. Was my hundreds of hours of game time in Borderlands 2, Wipeout and Skyrim not a real game experience despite the games being the exact same as their non VR counterparts? Anyway, Im tired of arguing about this. Most of you have just a few hours of VR under your belt, Id probably think the same too.

It's definitely not the first REAL VR game. I fully agree with Ramza. It's the best VR game I've played for sure... but let's not act like there haven't been TRUE VR games out there already. Lone Echo Super Hot Beat Saber Astro Bot Moss Asgard's Wrath Stormland Boneworks and now HL: Alyx ALL are great FULL games in their own right.. completely realized for the medium 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not including regular games with VR modes, the whole comparison should be about games actually built for VR. 90% of them are still shooting galleries or cheeky physics simulators with limited depth and content.

A shame really. Anyway, PSVR is pretty dead. Looking forward to the current PC VR games coming to PSVR2 down the line. Asgards Wrath, Stormland, Boneworks, Alyx. I want some of that shit.

Theres a lot of that, sure. But theres also enough real games with great content made exclusively for VR. So Half Life Alyx is not the first of anything. Maybe the best VR game to date, Im fine with that. Im done with the arguments here anyway. Enjoy the game people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
