Virtual Reality: What to Expect in 2020
Half-Life: Alyx
The announcement of Half-Life: Alyx at the close of the year was one of the biggest virtual reality news. Avid fans have waited for this sequel for more than 12 years and the fact that it will be a VR-exclusive could be a major factor driving more gamers to virtual reality. There are already promising signs that this will be the case.
Half-Life: Alyx will take the format of the previous games where the story is built around physics-based puzzles along with dynamic shooting. The following Half-Life: Alyx trailer shows some of the gameplay of the game.
The game has been ported into virtual reality in a very meaningful way. Players are even able to grab headcrabs from their faces and throw them or dig through the shelves for the items and ammo. The listing of the game is already up on Steam and will be out in March this year.
Half-Life: Alyx won’t be on PlayStation VR yet but there are some exciting offerings coming to PSVR users in 2020 including Iron Man VR game set to launch on February 28, 2020 and which will be a PSVR-exclusive.
