More than 12 years later, the valve officially returned to the half-life universe. Half-life: Alyx is the "full-length" VR work of this series. However, if you think we're finally going to find out what happened after half Life 2: episode II, I have some very disappointing news. Alyx will be carried out between "half Life" and "half Life 2". For those who have been waiting for Valve to return to these games, this is a painful moment. There is no doubt that the company knows how to make good games, and the screenshots shared by Valve will definitely excite fans. However, if you want to close after the second episode of the big event, you have to keep waiting.

However, be aware enough of what Alyx is not. The game is scheduled to be released on Steam in March 2020, just four months from now. It will be used with all computer-compatible virtual reality headphones. Pre-order is now available for the game at $59.99, but owners of Valve's Index VR headphones will get it for free. Unfortunately, there seems to be no plan to launch non-VR games, so if you haven't attended this training, please be ready to open your wallet.

As for the expectation of the story, there should be no big surprise for those who have played half-Life 2. Valve said the game will focus on Alex Vance and her father Eli's battle with aliens, whose combine harvesters have captured Earth. The past half-Life game did not fully understand how the combination enslaved humans after the first inning. They didn't show up at all, so we may know that things are getting worse. It's done.

The screenshot shared by Valve shows a familiar broken city that looks like the 17th city in half Life 2, but we've never seen such a realistic rendering or the immersion provided by VR. And gravity gloves! Can't wait to get them to work.

Valve also released a trailer to let people know how much technology has changed since the last half-Life game was released in 2007. The details of the world are amazing. It seems that VR allows you to interact with any object in the game. This is the scene of Alyx rummaging through the shelves for backup. Just to make fans more crazy, the trailer soon caught a glimpse of the infamous G man.

"everyone in the valve company is excited to get back to half his life," Gaby Newell of the valve company said in a statement. Virtual reality injects vitality into us. We have invested a lot of our own efforts in technology. But we are still at the core of game developers, so ambitious virtual reality games are also exciting. Because of this, the "half-life" form gives the impression that it combines a lot of things that we are very concerned about: really good games, cutting-edge technology, and open platforms. We can't wait for people to experience this. "

Everything sounds great, but I hope this is the beginning of a new journey into a half-life world, not the last song. But no matter what happens, it's hard not to be curious about Valve's mature new games.
