Goodness me, Valve really are making a brand new Half-Life game. Following the weekend’s leaky rumours of Half-Life: Alyx, Valve have confirmed yup, it really is actual. They really are making a brand new Half-Life, and it really is for VR. They name Half-Life: Alyx “our flagship VR game” however aren’t saying a lot of something about what it’s till an unveiling on Thursday.
While Valve don’t have any extra to say, now the game’s confirmed I’d now place extra religion in particulars from the leak, which regarded like a transcript of a video chat with The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley. In it, Keighley requested about it being VR-only.
“Yeah, I mean we would love to be delivering a version of this that you could play with a mouse and a keyboard, but like as we said, it began as an exploration of VR,” Valve responded. So it sounds a game the place touch-feely hands-on gogged-up Half-Living is the purpose. If the leak was actual.
I’d most likely count on Valve’s personal reveal at 6pm on Thursday then, if I’m trusting the leak, extra at The Game Awards on December 12th (properly, 1:30am on the 13th for us).
Valve haven’t launched even a Quarter-Life since Half-Life 2: Episode Two in October 2007. We’ve nonetheless no whiff of an Episode Three or a Half-Life 3, although a former Valve author could have given away the once-planned plot and followers have fortunately picked up the slack with games based on that and wild flights of fancy. Yeah yeah, Half-Life’s grand and all and I’d give an HL3 a go, however I like the present world the place Valve’s flagship sequence has been taken over by followers.
