  • I'M BACK WITH MORE HALF-LIFE.
    Everyone seemed to enjoy Alyx, so I've forced my way to do another Half-Life VR video. Now we just need Half-Life 1 to be remade in VR. And we can complete the triforce.
    The next major video will be Fallout: New Vegas, but based on how this one does I will review Half-Life 1/Black Mesa pretty soon. Regardless of if it is put into VR!

    I massively agree with you on the gunplay. By the middle of Ravenholme, I was jumping onto the ground crawling backwards shooting In a desperate attempt to escape zombies. I could pick up debris to use as a shield. On the beach section, I would duck and dive in real life to get behind cover. Nova Prospect had me flipping over tables, and throwing grenades back IT IS SO IMMERSIVELY FUN. This game, as well as RE4 translate so incredibly well to VR and because of that, they are timeless.

    For anyone using a quest device:
    On the grabbing everything issue: That doesn't happen on quest devices since the grab control is more easily avoided (Not an enforcement of facebook. They can burn in hell). This fixes most of the issues with the 2 handed weapons too.
    The vehicle sections are completely unplayable (I ended up walking them instead). They do have a FOV function that gives you tunnel vision, but it doenst really help that much.

    Things you missed mentioning: MODS!!!! You can mod Half Life 2 VR just like the normal game so you can have the smoother graphics and clothing optional gameplay. CONTROL SETTINGS!!!! Tired of grabbing everything automatically? Change grab to a button that's not touch sensitive. VIGNETTES AND 3RD PERSON!!!! The vehicle sections offer vignette which puts a grey circle around your vision making your brain think you're playing a game and not traveling through an apocalyptic hellscape. 3rd Person mode while buggy at least makes it feel like you're running a remote controlled vehicle.

I hope the people who watch your videos realise how much effort goes into them, well-timed gags and some wild use of props. Normally I find videos with such quick edits off-putting but yours is all in service of your humour. I see a lot of creators trying to zhush up thier videos with 3 different cameras, 1 of them also having an overactive zoom mode. Great stuff, really clever, really funny and so energetic.

    Nice to see you covering the mod! You're one of the reasons I got in to VR gaming in the first place so I tend to value your VR-centric videos especially highly.
    I actually never experienced any major problems with accidentally grabbing items or the two-handed weapons. Not sure why; I assume there must be some difference in either how we hold the controllers or the sensitivity of the touch/grip pads. That's just speculation on my part, though. My experience was generally pretty smooth but that obviously doesn't do anything to change that yours evidently wasn't.
    Same with the vehicle sections, but that's more down to me being one of the lucky ones that has an iron stomach in VR. There was one part where I somehow managed to flip the airboat upside down (which isn't supposed to be possible) and had to reload a save, though.

    I do think the old games were definitely not designed for VR. Busy combat is tough, even on a PC where the only things you need to do is press W and click your mouse. VR, you're physically aiming, and so it's hard to actually kill anything. Which is why Alyx has so little enemies, less than a quarter of the enemies in Half Life 2. HL2, you'll be fighting like 10 combine in one single area of a load-zone. Alyx, you're fighting, at most, 5. You need more preparations since everything you do is much slower compared to the fast-paces actions of Half Life 2.

    d2_prison_01 is indeed after the buggy section, but not where it ends, which would mean you would miss out on a few levels. d2_coast_10 is when the buggy section actually ends. There's a tiny bit of driving at the very beginning, but it's like 1 or 2 turns to the outpost, then turn into a garage, and then the buggy is no longer a part of your life.
    In fact, the final coast level is the very beginning of storming the prison, so people would miss out on that.

      I feel it more likely that the dev team did most of their testing either with something other than the Valve Index, that or spent too little time testing the potential issues with grab sensitivity. The issue with the index is that the finger sensors can be pretty...sensitive, and even in many other VR games with grabbing mechanics I find myself being an accidental klepto simply because a couple fingers contacting the sensor can be registered as a grab whether you want it to or not.

    • @fholger
      @fholger Рік тому +4

      @@Fenriswaffle On the contrary, I spent almost all my development time *with* the Index. The thing is, though, this aspect, like many things control-related, is extremely subjective. I never pick up anything on accident, so depending on how you hold or use the Index controllers, this is not a universal issue. I did experiment with increasing the threshold, but found that I don't like it - it's fine for grabbing stuff in the world, but it made grabbing ammo from your back much less reliable for me.
      In the end, the option to adjust the threshold to your own liking is available to everyone through SteamVR bindings.
