Half-Life: Alyx will also feature a level-building tool, allowing players to construct their own environments and share them with other players via Steam Workshop.Ĭheck out the trailer below, and start channeling your hype for when Half-Life: Alyx launches in March 2020. Furthermore, anyone who owns a Valve Index with receive the game for free when it launches. According to Valve’s official site, the game was designed for the Valve Index, but will be available on any Steam-compatible VR device, including Oculus Rift and Oculus Quest, Windows Mixed Reality, and HTC Vive. This is the first official game to explore the Half-Life universe since Portal-inspired VR experience The Lab, which released alongside the HTC Vive in April 2016.More importantly, this was the first time Half-Life received a full new entry since. You are Alyx Vance, and you're about to spark a revolution. Five years before the collapse of the Citadel. Offer available with Cosmos Elite, Cosmos Elite headset, Pro Full Kit and Pro Eye. I also did 'windows key + P' a few times to make sure I was extending the display onto the Vive, not cloning it. This Cyber Week, buy selected VIVE VR headsets and get Half-Life: Alyx for FREE. Make sure you launch SteamVR (with Direct Mode disabled) and then Half-Life 2. We see a few familiar faces, including Alyx’s father Dr. In November 2019, Valve shocked the world by announcing Half-Life: Alyx, a virtual reality-based interquel set between the first two Half-Life games. What I was doing wrong is to launch Half-Life 2 without SteamVR running, which would let me get into the menus but launching the game it would be black. (Although it remains to be seen how well it actually controls.) Judging by what we see in the trailer, Half-Life’s classic gameplay is well-suited for VR, with the gunplay blending seamlessly into the more adventure-style elements like exploration and puzzle manipulation. The 2-minute trailer showcases the appealing mix of first-person action, puzzle-solving, tightly-written dialogue and wry humor that the series is known for.
