If you’ve been following the VR gaming space for a long while, you probably recall back in 2017 when the Half-Life 2 VR mod was announced to significant fanfare. But now a group of proven VR modders is aiming to finally make it a reality. In 2017 the project was seemingly reignited with ambitions to not just update it for the latest headsets, but to remaster the game for VR more broadly unfortunately that effort never came to fruition. Unfortunately the mod eventually lost compatibility with newer hardware as the first consumer VR headsets began to hit the market. Plus, we don’t know who’s taking part in, however they draw an average Gordon Freeman.Many years before the release of Half-Life: Alyx, a group of fans built a rudimentary Half-Life 2 VR mod which allowed the game to be played with early VR headset development kits. The group has even applied its personal Valve-style UI and tutorials.
The replace can also be noticed underneath, however the easiest way to explain is it Half-Life 2 meets Amnesia: The Dark Descent – combining commonplace FPS controls with physics-based object manipulation the usage of the mouse. There’s no phrase but on how the sport controls with out the mod, however it sort of feels to provide easy mouse and keyboard controls – with a twist. It’s the primary development replace in numerous months, however the mod is coming in combination effectively – to the purpose the place, if somebody wasn’t advised Half-Life: Alyx used to be a VR recreation they wouldn’t even understand.
There were various makes an attempt to create a VR-free mod for Half-Life: Alyx, however all were somewhat janky and now not a lot amusing – if they have got labored in any respect. However, whilst it’s now not out but, the merely titled Half-Life: Alyx No VR Mod (thank you DSOGaming) has been appearing off the most efficient development – and this week’s replace is probably the most startling but.
The unencumber of Half-Life: Alyx again in March 2020 used to be heralded as an excellent step ahead for VR video games, however – because of value, area, or different causes – numerous other folks couldn’t play it, which is gloomy taking into account it’s the primary Half-Life recreation from Valve since 2007.
