The Half Life port on the Quest is very impressive, I reccommend it.

I like the guy and watch him from time to time but he made his channel purely on clickbaits... it's a valve game news channel. There is nothing else than rumors

Anyone know what time the event is? Didn't see the original OP's opener as being updated yet

I don't know the back story or much of his history, I used to be subbed to his channel but not for a while. I hear he has had a shit ton of hate and pessimism over the Half Life VR thing for at least a year.
This video shows you how much pent up frustration he released after the announcement, I kinda feel for the guy, you know how shitty the internet can be.

There's already Pavlov and the popular CS maps can be downloaded from the workshop. Maybe they just hire the Devs and make it an official CS VR.

They said 10 AM Pacific time. I assume their twitter is a good bet for details or a link to the reveal, since that's where they announced that an update was coming.
Regardless of what the game looks like, it does feel pretty unreal that we are finally getting any Half Life content at all. I can't remember the last time Valve produced any new HL media to consume.

It's come a long way in the last year, there are a lot of great titles now, no longer stuck in short experiences or tech demos.
I don't use my Rift daily but it's one of those things that I jump into when I need a break from what I'm playing on consoles or pc. I basically treat it like another gaming device that I delegate time with my other devices.
I personally can't wait for the day when the screens are good enough where I don't even have to turn on my tv/monitor and all my gaming /media/work is done in VR, it's just not there yet. Oculus "goal" discussion at the oc6 event looks sublime to me

Half-Life: Alyx · AppID: 546560
Half-Life: Alyx is Valve’s VR return to the Half-Life series. It’s the story of an impossible fight against a vicious alien race known as the Combine, set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Playing as Alyx Vance, you are humanity’s only chance for survival. Half-Life: Alyx Steam...

Oculus support confirmed, yay. I mean, it was obvious, they hold 50% VR market share on Steam, followed by Vive's 35%, with Index currently at 5% (I'm sure it will jump soon, lol), but nice to have it confirmed.

Oh man, it's going to be amazing i just know it. And if it's coop as well (not sure), it'll be a game changer far and wide. Coop, physics VR would be mind boggling and most difficult to do but i think if anyone can do it, Valve has the talent.

There's a timer there. Nice. Wonder if there's a way to copy/paste that here; OP's opening post?

Tyler has said that he expects it to be given free to Index owners, I guess that 5% will increase.Half-Life: Alyx · AppID: 546560

Forgot to ask. Where's the go-to link for this reveal? I'd imagine on Valve's storefront or is there another place?

Any mention of Sony or a PSVR logo anywhere to be seen?

The part where she quickly scrapes the uh.. furniture? (my English... it's failing! Just look at 0:57 & see for yourselves.) looking for some shells, and everything responds physically accuratedly (what is grammar? Can I eat it?). To know we'll be able to do whatever we can instinctively and organically... O.M.G.

Whoooooaaaa!!!!! I instinctively went straight to check PC prices after seeing the trailer. I hope, that they reveal recommended specs soon!

I have to say that to me it looks exactly as I expected it to. By that I mean there's nothing super surprising about the mechanics shown or anything else. It's very much like Half-Life 2 with improved graphics and all the great VR mechanics already seen in other games. I'm sure it will be a revelation for VR newcomers when they experience it but for me it's a little less than that, an amazing game that I knew bigger developers could make when they came in to VR after all the smaller developers and indies and smaller productions have shown us already that the medium can do. I can't wait!
Edit: super important!

Sweet, maybe a new mod community renaissance is upon us like back in the hl1 and source days.
