Half-Life: Alyx has arrived ushering a new wave of triple-A VR games. It's a prequel set before the events of Half-Life 2. Following protagonist Alyx Vance on her journey through the dystopian remains of City 17. Developers promise a new way to play with the game solely released on VR. And while there have been several attempts to push the technology. It still feels like many of them are just banking on the gimmickry overall.
Also, most old-school gamers still clamour for Half-Life 3 to be released. It's been over 15 years since the last Half-Life game was released. With it leaving behind also one of gaming's greatest cliffhangers. Will this game reinvigorate interest for the legendary series? And will it's success be enough to convince Valve to deliver some closure for diehard fans?
And, we also address the state of VR, especially the high price point entry. With the Valve Index priced close to a hefty one thousand US dollars. And that's not including the investment for the PC rig necessary to power it. In light of the current pandemic still ongoing, we ask if now is the best the time to invest in VR gaming?
So tune in now, as we review Half-Life: Alyx and also speak on the state of VR and it's future.
