Lads. Its the first canonical Half-Life trailer we got in the past decade.

And its coming out at the same time as Doom Eternal.

Oh dear.

Oh come on, like it wasn't already obvious the next Half Life was gonna be in VR as soon as Valve announced they had their own VR system. The only reason it took so long for Half Life 3 was because they didn't want to make just a game, they wanted to make the game in the next step of gaming. Half life 1 was whatever for its time, half life 2 had the best physics, and Half life alyx or whatever is in VR

This is not HL3, no. Its uh... HL2 prequel. So not exactly an expansion either or a spin-off.

Imagine caring an incredible amount for the franchise waiting a decade for Half-Life 3 and then when they finally announce they’re doing a game it’s not HL3 but instead a fucking VR prequel.

The first time I played a Half Life game was on the Orange Box so I’m not too bothered about it but in my opinion, that’s almost as bad as the “you guys don’t have phones?” motherfucker at Blizzcon.

Interesting that you see it that way. I think releasing a mainline franchise game on a phone is a sign of your franchise degradation. VR is the true next step and if Valve doesn't mess up, this game could be what makes people jump on it maybe even force Sony and MS to seriously look into full VR support.

I view any attempt for developers to switch the platform of their franchise completely with a lot of contempt and spite as it’s forcing anyone who wants to enjoy the newest instalment to buy the system the game is now on. It’s not as bad as the Diablo Immortal fiasco because Blizzard basically laughed at their hardcore PC player base, Valve hasn’t done anything like that. I understand VR needs more support and investment but right now it’s extremely primitive and using a game which everyone’s been waiting over a decade for is not a smart move in my opinion.

Aaand now that its out - can you imagine playing Alyx on non-VR? Its like masturbating with your own thighs.

That ending though. wew.
