In the event that you have also seen some gameplay footage as we did, then you would have got an idea of how the VR component will work, Valve’s Robin Walker and Corey Peters commentary made it all possible.
Robin Walker and Corey Peters said for many players, Alyx will be their first foray into VR gaming in an IGN exclusive, for that they took their time to breakdown how it works so newbies can get acquainted with the new technology.
You will see that shooting and reloading are entirely different from the usual to controller-based play, for instance, so Alyx‘s starter levels involve lots of basic non-threatening enemies to give players the opportunity to learn that manoeuvre, before moving on to the trickier stuff.
The Valve’s officials also explain how, during the testing stages, they discovered that because of the VR nature of the game players were far more likely to engage with their environments.
So, a lot of detail went into designing what would otherwise be considered a background environment, much of it based on the way playtesters were reacting in VR.
Half-Life: Alyx is going to be an important release for Valve as it will resurrect a much-loved universe. It will likely be a reason for many gamers to jump into VR, which is still not without its wrinkles.
