I’m tired of everyone treating VR like it’s just an expensive gaming peripheral. It’s the next evolution of media as a whole, the same way radio was to literature, television was to radio, then games were to television. It’s just the next step and valve are providing a full experience. They can’t give Half-Life 3 due to key people in the HL franchise quitting the studio to work elsewhere, also the lead writer left. Not like it matters because the community is still thriving with things like Black Mesa Xen, Operation Black Mesa, Entropy Zero 2, Project Borealis, and Boreal Alyph. What makes Half-Life Alyx impactful isn’t just the fact that it’s a new Half-Life game or that it’s a full VR title from Valve, it’s the release of the Source 2 SDK along with it’s native VR support for not only the index, but the oculus, vive, and windows MR. We could see nearly every source game ported to it given how dedicated the valve community is! Day of Defeat, Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress. To dismiss it as “it’s not HL3” is just ridiculous
