Over a decade since they've done anything with their most iconic franchise and they decide to release a new game as a VR-only title, alienating a good majority of their fanbase by locking it behind a bare minimum $1000 paywall for the equipment you need just to play the darn thing

lol

I expected this ever since I saw the development of Boneworks. I had assumed that it was going to be the foundation that the next Half-Life title was going to be build on, and presumed the next Half-Life would be VR. It makes sense because every HL that drops is intended to define the next generation of gaming, and frankly, I believe this is a contender. I have to worry about future proof my next desktop before even thinking of buying the Valve Index, let alone HL VR, but it will be certainly worth it when I do.

Won't lie; expected it to be shit.

Trailer actually made me feel excited. Can't tell if they were meant to be Cops or OTA though.

Citadel is under construction, and it seems like the Combine overwatch are still kind of prototypes

Think its supposed to be OTA since the Cops weren't established yet or something

graphics look pretty insane, especially for VR, hope it looks this good on release

amount of new models + sounds + lore this is gonna bring will be groundbreaking, genuinely looks like everything we thought we knew about the invasion has been completely thrown out of the window

ota/cop/whatever they're supposed be look pretty neat as well, looks like a very early version of the suits we had in hl2

When this ships and we see what it's got in store
Tempts me to do events in that period of time, earliest occupation is not something we've really done a lot on.

ota look like beta design in the first few stills with plain cloth (and deathtrooper voices ayy lmao)
at 1:14 or 1:19 you can see padded ota though so that's interesting
combine mothership base was also cool(apparently it's still on earth cause you see apartments in the shot)
gmale is really hot

Makes sense for them to be OTA, especially the look at them you get when they have Alyx surrendering. Glowy eyes give it away.

It can't be too early into the occupation though, because like - Alyx was a little kid when it all started.
