Valves new game Q4 2019?

Atmos

Doesn’t matter either way. Valve announced their game in 2019 when people said it would never happen. Now HL:Alyx will be the biggest game of 2020 with the hardware in numbers and the availability for all. Why release with limited supply and force people to buy other headsets?

People now have 4 months to plan and save for Index. Maybe Index will get a price drop in March for a huge push in time for Alyx.

People this, people that. I was talking about yourself, not others.

So anyway, you were wrong.

Alyx looks awesome. I loved in the trailer how finger tracking was used, for example putting bullets into the chamber.

We don't really know a lot about this game yet, apart from a very short trailer. The thing that does seem to be overlooked is the tool set coming with this.

Valve said a game was coming in 2019 not me.

You said it.

I can try and dig up the old post if you like.

HL Alyx looks great and at 1st glance looks up there at the sharp end of available VR titles.

However it is but 1 game and does not change the fact that Valve have been sitting on their collective backsides for far too long taking money from their monopoly in pc gaming.

I just hope this is a 1st of many titles to come going forward. People hate on them a lot but it is the likes of oculus and Epic forcing their hand imo to get back to making games.... And I welcome it .

Thier customer services sucks however. I bought a gamepad from them after 2 days I got a refund, no explanation, no sweetener of a little extra credit and worst of all not even an apology ..
Btw I was surprised Atmos you took so long to celebrate the game and decree it the best thing ever.... Where have you been?

He was banned for a while cos he was a naughty boy.

Whilst this game looks great I can't forgive them for not bringing Half Life 2 VR on day one of the Rift and Vive launching, or even since they launched.

They could have done a quick dirty gamepad and mouse and keyboard only port with a small team of 2 developers and 2 to 3 QA staff in 6 months or so. Them not doing so is UNFORGIVABLE.

Lol I forgot about that one.

Sadly snowdog didn't have the chops to take him up on it
