Tbqh I'm a lil worried this is gonna bomb and Valve will never ever make another game

It looks based. Source 2 looks sexy and the controls look tight. I'll prob get a VR for this once the reviews are out.

it probably already made its money back in Index sales alone.

Even if it didn't, it doesn't matter. Valve said they don't expect to recoup the costs - they developed HLA knowing they were the only company in the world capable of taking the financial hit of doing something of that scale for VR.

Valve stopped making games like 10 years ago
Anyone hype for this probably has a funko pop collection and is a fucking moron

there's nothing to worry about, it's a long term play, they're limited by hardware supplies anyway

It looks really boring. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a game about rummaging through crap? The whole thing is designed for cover shooting and it just does not look fun.

you could buy a VR headset and join in the fun instead of coping

the only way it can "bomb" is if the experience on og headsets like vive and rift + wmr shit is subpar

I could just play a flat game and not waste over 300 bucks in a hobbie too

As much as I love Steam, Valve is sitting on an untapped gold mine that will see the light.

If you're expecting to compare the sales numbers to CoD and GTAV and then come on with your OH NO NOs when its not even in the ballpark, then yes it will "bomb".

But in reality it will be the most successful VR game to date.

*will never see the light.

Who gives a shit?
The old guard that developed HL1 and launched Steam is long gone.

Wouldn't Portal be really bad in VR? At least with any puzzle that's momentum-based.

Nah it's fine, I actually find it more intuitive in VR

Nigger, that's the last thing you should be worried about. It'll sell like hotcakes because it's another fucking Half-Life game. Don't underestimate the autism of Pcbros. It doesn't matter if it's garbage, and at the risk of slightly displacing a goalpost, as long as it's not Artifact or anything like that, it will fucking sell just for having Half-Life in the name.

>Pcbro
When did this filter get here?

This game just follows the trend of
>old classic gets renewed with filler game
It's gonna be mediocre. I'm thinking Halo ODST levels.

To me the biggest red flags was about this game were:
1) When they asked the devs what part of the trailer made them proudest and they answered "the way you open doors and rummage through the items in the shelves"
2) When the release of Boneworks made them realize they had to implement better physics and smooth locomotion before showing any gameplay.

Imagine that HLA was entirely designed with teleportation as the sole means of locomotion, and that its physics were inferior to an indie game with less than 9000 all-time peak players (and less than 300 current players). Could the bar be set any lower?

actually not true, it's mostly the same people

Valve have said multiple times that Portal was actually the first game they tried developing for VR but the nausea on playtesters and devs was too much so they abandoned it.

Not on the writing side. Or art direction side. Or voice acting side.

>I love Steam
your opinions are worthless, you fat incel

The funniest thing is, it almost was a teleport only game.

retard, Valve was a core part of the development of Boneworks. They were supporting the devs throughout the entire development. Early boneworks media even had a fucking crowbar in it.

That's my point, I don't trust Valve to salvage it.

Retard, post proof.

>rush
>implying they don't have one already
Every single one of the movements can be mapped to a sequence, source has always allowed rebinding these sort of things, if Valve doesn't do it someone else will.

I'll play the inevitable PlayStation 5 port, released in late 2020 or Easter 2021 that valve releases to recoup loses Fuck pc, everything is becoming VR or epic store. Thinking this won't get ported to next gen is delusional imo. It's an experiment to bump up hardware sales in the short term.

google boneworks crowbar, dipshit. boneworks was also the only non valve game to make it into their steam master list (aka, the list of games valve has developed)

I think it's likely that Valve and Sony will "trade" VR exclusives
Which is good because HL does have a small following among consoles

>it has a crowbar therefore it was developed by Valve
Ask me how I know your IQ is sub 90.

Bait aside, it was developed by these guys:
stresslevelzero.com/

They are not Valve. Moreover, Boneworks is not even on the master list anymore:

steamdb.info/sub/61/apps/

i know it isnt, and i never said it was developed by valve
nice reading comprehension mutt

What was your point then? Please provide direct information on how Valve contributed to Boneworks development.

It's already successful, the indexes sold out.

It literally didn't flop, the goal of the game isn't to sell individual copies, it's to sell headsets.
Which is exactly what it did, and it far outpaced Valve's own expectations and now they're struggling to keep up with demand.

>Could make a new Counter Strike Battle Royale to appeal to the Zoomer crowd

This. HLA is already considered a success internally at Valve based on presales alone. Some guys are already scribbling ideas for an HLB on the whiteboard.

Nice insider information, retard.

Doesn't take a logical leap to see Valve clearly weren't prepared for the amount of people buying Indexes.

No, seriously, you are a retard.

Cope for what you fucking retard?

looking at footage it seems like if it bombs it aint the fault of the game.
Plus all the saltyfags giving it free marketing constantly.

Its going to sell more than hl1

If they don't want it to bomb they better get their ass in gear and work on an SDK with fuckton of prefabs that make things easy for modders.

Depending on one's point of view, this one doesn't even count as a '''''game''''', so it's all good.

I don’t care. When is the Artifact relaunch?

>t's a game that costs a thousand dollars.
or $229 if you're not being retarded

average gamer was playing bing bing wahoo on the Nintendo 64 when half life came out. is it any surprise that at any time valve releases a game, there will be an underclass of gamers who will not accept that there are superior ways to experience games

The goal of the game was to sell Indexes. We already know how successful it was.

Post pre-orders

Have you ever used raytracing in a game? Like honestly? It does fucking nothing, it's a dumb buzzword to throw out there to draw attention to your game.i enable it in every game that has it to see if I can spot the difference other than shitty performance

Never, that shit was abandoned so they could try to cash in with a FOTM autochess clone.

I hope it bombs. Fuck Valve for their spiteful and evil attitude against Half-Life fans.

Kill yourself and die like the oxygen-wasting bitch you are you worthless scum.

In what possible definition would it not count as a game? Just by virtue of being VR and Valve being against moving the player means cutscenes are going to be minimal at best.

but half life fans are the ones buying this game

Reminder that anyone who says the game was originally supposed to be teleport only got the info from Tyler mccucker, who also claimed the game didn't have PHYSICS in it until boneworks came out.

OW the edge

Attached: 1582236430054.jpg (990x990, 113.17K)

I'd rather trust Tyler than I'd trust Valve any time of the day. Tyler is an untrustworthy bastard, but Valve manages to be even more untrustworthy.

He didn't claim any of that though you schizophrenic.

this game is going to be the greatest game of the past decade. but just in case i'm wrong, I mean VR game. but just in case I'm wrong about that as well, then it's the best valve game. and if all else fails, it's the best game the week of release.

When is Valve going to hire a cartel hitman to deal with him

>tfw afraid it's going to fail so valve never releases a game
>tfw afraid it'll sell like hot cakes so valve only makes vr games

for physics
youtu.be/yW6KOBhwf_0?t=67

for locomotion
youtu.be/yW6KOBhwf_0?t=117

He didnt said that dumbo. He said the game early on as in 2016 started as teleport, then gradually evolved to include locomotion as the Boneworks devs visited Valve in 2018. They fully perfected locomotion by February 2020 and that's why they waited until now to show official gameplay rather than show it at the VGA 2019. The 2nd official gameplay vid and the 9 minute ign vid have smooth locomotion moment.

>tfw afraid it'll sell like hot cakes so valve only makes vr games
This already happened so fuck off and find a different company to obsess over. May I suggest Epic Games?

Which is why it must fail so hard that nobody in the industry will ever even think about making VR games. VRfaggotry is a gimmick and it should stay a gimmick for the rest of its miserable pathetic little life.

They're kinda sympathetic with him, since he's the only youtuber that does free publicity for them, so they're giving him limited inside info or just telling him what to specifically leak, whoever is his contact at Valve. It's win win for both Valve and the community, since Valve themselves always sucked at PR or advertisements since 2010.

yah I love half-life and am buying it day 1, can't wait!

VR is cancer.

Valve is a constant internecine war of opposing tribes by design, Tyler surely has some who are sympathetic to him but I doubt many appreciate having to deal with his perpetual hijinks and army of retarded 12yo parrots.

Shut the fuck up you cumgobbling little queer, I fucking love Valve games 10000000x more than you, I can assure you that, you smelly little clump of dickcheese

>pay money to get immersion
>cheat and do everything to not have immersion

Everything valve has done points to pre-orders performing well above expectations. This is evident by how Valve Index has not been able to keep up with demand. I don't think they expected the game to do as well as it is going to.

What's it like being autistic and having to perseverate on one tiny inconsequential detail while ignoring everything else
Just pick shit up with your fucking hands the game doesn't force you to use the gravity gloves

some playtester leaked the whole plot to him in late february, and he confirmed it as legit with his Valve contact. Said it's the best hl story so far and it will change how people view hl 1 and 2.
If the leaks that were here in december are corresponding with Tyler's leak: Alternative universe stuff caused by the Borealis, the final level takes places in the present time Arctic playing as Gordon shortly after ep2's end (since Eli's last line is in HLA's trailer)

how does force full break immersion?
fucking mongoloid

This game is gonna sell less than fucking Beat Saber.
Screencap this

Alyx is already hardly a game, it's just a cheap piece of shit they whipped together and slapped the HL name on to push hardware. They dont want to make games

It can't keep up because there's no supply since China is closed.

but hardly anyone is going to buy VR just to play beat saber cuz at the end of the day it's just a rhytmic game you can live without and gameplay gets boring rather fast

Boneworks with fraction of BS's marketing and being on the market for o 3 months only already has 10k reviews on steam which is 1/3 of BS review count, and that game has been on the market since may of 2018.

Half life reveal has 10m views, 1st gameplay video is about to hit 1m views in 1 day. Half Life is a series of an legendary status, majority of people who love half life already have carriers and they can afford to buy VR and play their beloved franchise

Thank god my hatred for Valve has been vindicated, knowing that only the false opinion press thinks that HL:Alyx is anything but irredeemable garbage.

Valve was always about creating innovative things and it's not the first time they went against an esablished norm. Steam rings a bell? how about the fact that valve forced hl fans to adapt to valve's new distribution method? did it stop half life from being regarded as one of the best games ever made?

as a valve fan i'm perfectly happy with what they are doing

stay mad

>and they assume we want soulless VR
it's an 8 hour game, similar in length and levels as hl1 and hl2, just fully made with VR interactivity in mind. First triple A VR game with a high budget and the VR highlight people have been waiting for (steam data leaks since 2016 showed that HL VR was in development and people still sperg out)
Halflife was always an IP used to innovate. You think people didn't bitch when HL2 had high system requirements back in 2004 ?

not like they would have made a new game in the next decade anyway
