There is also a VR mod on Steam that works perfectly With Half-Life 2, No need to jump through hoops, it just works. One of the best VR experiences out there.

You just changed half my life.

It just works like the way Skyrim VR just works or will it make HL2 the same kind of experience as HL: Alyx?

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I mean half life alyx's entire mechanics revolve around VR controls.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

That's the difference; does the mod allow interaction with the world like Alyx, or is it just you're there, but still using basic 2D controls to manipulate shit (press E to use a door instead of grabbing the handle and pushing/pulling)?

I'm not sure how the game engine can incorporate such fine detailed mechanics. It almost seems like it'll have to be reworked from the ground up, with only the assets being maintained.

It's the Source engine. Which Alyx is made in too.

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

No, it has full motion controls. It's quite enjoyable.

That's why they're asking.
