I've been saying for years - the next HL will be dependant upon having good VR. But if it's only on the Valve VR effort that'll be too expensive for most.

I'm just going to assume it's a dating sim.

God, I hope it is. I've always wanted to make the sweet nasty with the gravity gun.

Valve said like 2 years ago that they're working on 3 big VR titles, glad to finally see one of them surfacing, and it's a Half-Life title? Cool! Considering Valve already has already put out 3 different VR headsets on the market, it's high time they made a game to go with em!

Well, this certainly is a departure from the genre of the cinematic see-saw puzzle game. Or is it?

March 2020? That's unexpectedly soon, but then again, they've probably been working on the for a while. Pretty excited - the trailer looks nice. The Half-Life world has never looked this good.

At the very least, it does a good job showing us what HL2 would look like in a modern engine.

It does? I thought it was a nicely up-technicked version of Source, but clearly behind modern-day visuals in terms of things like lighting fidelity. Which is fine, because it's calibrated for VR and so performance is more important than graphical whiz-bang.
I'm more pleased with the shot of Alyx physically picking up ammunition off a shelf and loading it into the gun, there's a tactility to the physics that should feel very nice indeed during gameplay. If anything, the fidelity we're getting now along with the sheer number of objects/instances you can throw at a scene means people can spend more time picking stuff up and admiring it. Next-gen hypermart simulators are sure gonna be something!
