Nah it wasn't boneworks, I've been following that too though.

Maybe I did dream up the gameplay footage part but at the very least gaben confirmed "Half Life 3" for VR back in like april, even if there wasn't footage to go with it.

Edit: But looking at the trailer on the steam page is really fucked up because this is exactly what it looked like, so I've definitely taken a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in the wrong dimension. Anybody know how I can get back?

You’re like the third person in this thread that thinks boneworks looks cool, everyone else thinks it’s fucking gay.

It is fucking gay but there's nothing wrong with gay if it means I can impale some wireframe zombies on a claymore.

If I ever get that game... well I’m gonna play it, that’s what I’m gonna do.
Well I guess we’re the only people here at the moment. Wanna suck each other off while we wait for everyone else to get back?

Can't wait for the watching paint dry mod to be ported to VR, then it'll well and truly be the future.

Half life Alyx is free when you buy a valve index or the index controllers.

Even 5 is generous. I say 2-3.

It's going to be funny watching VRtards defending some half-assed Unity puzzle game with the HL name slapped on it by pointing out that Portal can be beaten in an hour too.

The official website says it's gonna be set in City 17, apparently.
My thoughts from watching the website and the game's Steam page:
  • It seems the Combine are constructing the Citadel from scratch now, which means Valve has retconned their early versions of the lore from HL: Raising the Bar, where Citadels teleported out of nowhere on day 1 of their invasion
  • There's a lot of Russian inscriptions on things - C17 is definitely a Russian location this time around, or a post-Soviet one at the very least. It really reminds me of St. Petersburg
  • Headcrab zombies have been redesigned, and there seems to be some sort of headcrab with Combine cybernetics (?)
  • You can get headcrabbed too and need to throw them off your head. No HEV suit, after all
  • More Xen creatures will be introduced
  • The cut Combine flamethrower units, the Cremators, seem to be back, according to a screenshot on Steam. They look very different, though

City 17 was supposed to be an eastern european location from the start. There were things written in cyrillic around and Father Grigori was easten orthodox.
