    @ShenDoodles 5 дней назад +12

    Alyx has reactions to your input. In the beginning, when you're at gunpoint inside the elevator, you can try pressing buttons and grabbing the cop's gun and they'll react by either verbally scolding you or attacking you with a slap or a punch. Not every scene with other NPCs is so responsive, but it was one of the moments where the game really felt like you were in a Half-Life story instead of just a map of City 17.

  • @The6thMessenger

    Remember when gabe said that the environment had to react to the player choices, else it will have a narcissistic injury?
    An important part of choices is result. Sure you can be more expressive in VR, but if they basically don't react to your actions, that's not really important. It is basically just the same as the non-vr game.

    • @MrWendal
      @MrWendal  4 дня назад +1

      You're not wrong, and reacting would be great, but I found it fun to express myself in VR even without reactions. "It’s fun, like dancing in your living room or singing in the shower." I get that not everyone is a huge dork like me.

    • @Teknanam
      @Teknanam День назад +1

      NPCs can't react to your VR specific player choices (except for the "Pick-up that can" Metrocop who will beat you if you flip him off), but the enviroment absolutely does react to you. You can manipulate the weapons you hold to be in whatever angle you want with a finesse that isn't present with mouse and keyboard. You can physically grab and manipulate objects and corpses in the enviroment. The only things that won't react to you touching and grabbing them are NPCs. Though who knows? Maybe one day, someone will make a PLANCK-style mod (mod in Skyrim VR that allows you to touch and grab the NPCs) and make it not too janky. Or at the very, expand on interactions like the one I mentioned from the Metrocop.

  • @fearingalma1550
    @fearingalma1550 5 дней назад +21

    Half Life: Alyx also involves the player's hands masterfully. I found myself emoting with my hands in the cutscenes in time with the dialog in subtitles and what I thought the response would be, and I was very rarely off the mark. VR is still an absolute menace when it comes to barriers to entry with a high cost in hardware and space required to utilize it, but the interactivity is truly groundbreaking in a way previously unseen in the medium.

    • @MrWendal

    This endorses me because i'm actually writting a fanfic about the inner thoughts of Gordon during HL2 and his dialogues with every important character all based on what my idea of his personality is thanks to interactions with the likes of Eli, Barney, Kleiner and, most importantly, Alyx. He's just a simple guy who doesn't talk much and even less bacause all the trauma of Black Mesa is still fresh on his mind. That said it was kinda hard to write how Gordon grown fond to Vortigaunts despite having PTSD from them.

      @Cysco8575 5 дней назад +3

      @HyakuSh1ki As a fan of Freeman's Mind myself I was inspired by it but I took the calmer and more scientist focused side of Gordon instead of the mute action hero or the high on morphine maniac ones. Also PTSD Gordon was always an i teresting matter to me because poor guy went to work and a week later was topping a totalitarian alien government.

      I see your points, and you've put it better than most. But all that is done with the mouse... you can express yourself with a mouse but that doesn't make me feel like an actor, it doesn't make me feel like I'm in the scene. VR does. It offers all those same things, only done with your head and your hands, and there is more you can do in VR that you can't with a mouse and keyboard. I made this video because back when I first played episode one like 20 years ago, Alyx put her hand on the glass elevator door and all I could do was stand there. I felt like the biggest jerk in the world. Now I can be a more like a human being.

      Its not that you can't express yourself in regular Half-Life. But you are highly limited and forced to be abstract. Like take your examples. Both Desktop and VR players can move their PoV to express some feeling. But for a desktop player, Gordon is moving his entire body when he shakes his head horizontally. Both can hit things with a crowbar to express something, but a desktop player is limited to the in-game animations of how Gordon hits things with his crowbar. Whereas a VR player is likely going to be swinging their crowbar very differently between killing headcraps and manhacks. vs. angrily beating a corpse or a gunship.

    Oh my. I was quite surprised to see you in my feed! Nice to see a new video!
    With the recent buzz about HL3 going on, you uploading a Half-Life video might be the biggest piece of evidence so far.
    The VR mod is simply incredible. Just how seamlessly it all works - it's almost like it was supposed to be played that way. I did have to get used to being two heads taller than Alyx and the civillians, though!

    The VR mod is without question one of the coolest things to have happened to HL2, but Gordon was never intended to be a character. He is a blank slate that the player uses to inhabit the world. Gordon's reactions to what happens are your reactions.

    Half-Life 2 was one of THE best experiences I have had in VR, even better than Alyx - because you get a full campaign to play, really fast gameplay (much faster than Alyx) which makes it so satisfying to play. The gun play between you and the combine is superb. The game was also much more intense in VR than on a flatscreen, because you're "there".
    Now, think of how many wonderful PC games we have had in the last 25+ years, and sooooo many are just left to rot, or stuck in Copyright hell. Now, imagine how amazing it would be to be able to play many of these old games in VR ?
    Games like Unreal 1 & 2, No One Lives Forever 1 & 2, Far Cry 2,3,4,5 - Far Cry 1 VR mod is awesome.

    All these years after I'm done with VR gamedev and people are still recording via left eye lense, but aiming with the right eye lense.

    • @MrWendal
      @MrWendal  4 дня назад

      As far as I know there's no way to switch the display to right eye in the VR mod. I didn't want to record from the steam VR thingy because it had issues.

    • @KomodoNameless
      @KomodoNameless 4 дня назад

      @@MrWendal There is no need to switch the displays as I believe most games are just hard-coded to record the left camera, all you gotta do is aim with your left eye, which is a bit difficult for right handed people, admittedly, but it is doable. That's what I did when recording Arktika.1 trailers.
