Half Life: alyx (2020)
 

It's real... A new half life game

Haven't gamed 5-6 years really so I'm out of loop with VR and all this.

What VR system would I need to buy to play this and what is a base line GPU needed to run it?

No idea, I'm in the same boat

But kmg half life!

"Enough about what Alyx isn't, though. The game is set for release on Steam in March of 2020, just four short months from now, and will work with all PC-compatible VR headsets. Pre-orders are open now and the game costs $59.99, though owners of Valve's Index VR headset will get it for free"

$1000-$1400 lol

Valve Index is the best VR headset on the market at the moment, you can get an Oculus Quest for about $300 or the Rift for about $450 and it will play this.

You'd need a GTX1080 or Radeon 5700 or RTX2060S level GPU or higher to run it at a comfortable FPS IMO.

A little early for April fools, no?

the thing about VR why it needs so much GPU power is cause its running two displays separately in each eye with the headset

so its like running two monitors playing a game.

1300 is a fuck load of cash to be dumping on VR...no thanks,not for one game.


even PS5 Is getting into the VR Game in the future...see how VR progresses then.

There aren't too many people who were bigger Half Life fans than me. Even multiplayer mode LUL

So I am pretty sad that I will probably never, ever be able to play this. However, I am waiting to see if it is special enough to even deserve the Half Life name.

I admit that I kind of hope it's going to be just another shitty "VR Experience" FPS zombie shooter, just so that I won't be missing out on anything special. The trailer seems to have many hints to that effect - gun controls, jump scares, gimmicky "put your hands here" segments. I doubt there's many people, if anyone at all, left at Valve who worked on HL2 to make it as special as it is.

still can't count to three

Source 2 looks nice though

The oculus quest is $549 plus $100 for the USB cable so you can tether it to PC. I think the minimum GPU you need is a GTX 1060. You can buy a Windows Mixed reality headset for $249 but they are not that great.

The best part about the Oculus Quest is you can use it as a stand alone VR system and has a bunch of great games and more coming.

I just bought the Rift S, my 2080ti should have no troubles lol

Looking forward to playing this badly!
