As well as making available a couple of new environments for the SteamVR application revealing more details about locations within the highly anticipated upcoming Half-Life VR game Half-Life: Alyx. Valve has also released a complete list of all supported VR headsets capable of playing the Half-Life: Alyx game.
The Half-Life: Alyx game will be officially launching in a few weeks time on March 23rd, 2020 offering an adventure specifically designed for virtual reality.
“Players control Freeman’s ally Alyx Vance as she and her father Eli Vance fight the Combine, an alien empire that has conquered Earth. Designer David Speyrer said Alyx was not an episodic game or side story, but “the next part of the Half-Life story”, around the same length as Half-Life 2. Players use VR to get supplies, use interfaces, throw objects, and engage in combat. Like the gravity gun from Half-Life 2, the gravity gloves allow players to manipulate gravity. Traditional Half-Life elements such as exploration, puzzles, combat, and story are to return. Every weapon can be used one-handed, as Valve wanted players to have a hand free to interact with the world at all times.”
