ClearedSteamed is dedicated to everything and within the Valve & # 39; s PC gaming app.Incidentally, new Half life a game comes out in just a few months. To celebrate, Valve hold an AMA on Reddit today,, respectfully, among other things, that this game will not be delayed and confirm the fact we already know in our hearts: Half life games must have at least one train.
In that case Half-Life 2 was greatly delayed, too Half-Life 2: Episode 3 so many delays that it was finally stopped, it is a revelation to hear that Half-Life: Alyx the will, which prevents disaster or attacks on foreign invaders, will be out in March.
"Without applause at the end, the game is over," writes The Half-Life: Alyx Development team on Reddit. “Most of us at Valve, as well as the players, have played the game many times. At present we are very active in polishing and repairing bugs, which is where we hope to be at this level in the development cycle. We are sure to hit our intended release. (We let Valve Time happen before announcing the game.) "
Half-Life: Alyx is the first Half life The game to be developed has VR in mind – one last time a Half life The game is out, people are still associating VR with video game especially with Virtual Boy – which means it will be packed with new genres in familiar and enemy environments. Valve used "barnacle" enemies, who raised players in the world to try to eat them, for example, saying "we tried to move the player, but moving the player without their input into VR didn't work." That may be a disappointment for some fans, but Valve further said " the possibilities offered by VR and give you new ways to use against them. ”Same goes with the exact same types of soldiers as Combine soldiers.
The movement and use of weapons will also vary, as long as players will have physical game spaces. As a result, Valve paid close attention to accessibility, saying that there would be ways to stay and left, as well as support for one armed game. Or you play it all the time, but the weapons will need one hand.
"All of our weapons need one hand, but they can be grabbed and scratched hard by the one who worked," Valve said. “We wanted to focus on playing simultaneously with the hands throughout the game, so we needed a player to always have a free hand. We keep that hand very busy with gravity gloves, movement, earth interaction, torch and more. ”
But while you and Alyx's hands – switched to a single lens through virtual magic – will be more important, you won't have arms. At least, in this game.
"We don't give a damn about our playing experience," Valve said. "In short, we found that the players themselves do not consider them to be lost (viewers are visible, obviously), and they do not want to hide their viewing." But with Alyx's arms still in place, Kinda: "We actually use invisible arms, which connect from your hands back to your display (set up), and we use those to find impossible things, like completely closing the wardrobe on your wrist."
Alyx, unlike many of Valve's single game opponents, will also speak. "Having a character with a talking point of view is very liberating," says writer Erik Wolpaw. "It really makes writing scenes easier when you don't have to write down the fact that the main character is dumb. It's also easy for a player to feel that he or she is really an active participant in the scene. Web site we wrap it around a bit by admitting the main character is dumb. I think it's a bit tricky if you have to keep the delicate fairy tale the character can talk about but it's not for some reason. ”
Before the Half-Life: AlyxAnnounced last year, it's been six days since we heard Valve's long talk about the old series. This, however, is not caused by any kind of broad company order. According to Valve, there was nothing to talk about.
“Half life are no different Fight the Club– it was never the first rule that we & # 39; re ever talking about it! & # 39; Ten years ago, "the developers of Valve wrote." The real answer is very simple: We were not talking about Half life for a long time because we were not working on Half life a game. ”
But no matter how it worked out Alyx began with determination, the party did not want to count their chickens before they were arrested. For years, confidentiality was very important. "I have a teenage son," wrote another Valve engineer, "and in 4 years I refused to tell him what game I was working on, because I knew he couldn't keep it himself."
When Valve said that Half life are no different Fight the Club, has one rule: trains.
"It is actually illegal to send a Half life game if you don't spend at least a while on the train, ”Valve wrote in response to a question from some fans about the train's existence, listening back opening of the previous game icon.
Last but not least, you will be able to put a bucket on the headcrab, and the headcrab will indeed remove the bucket.
"You can put the bucket on the head, it will move the bucket as it rotates," Valve said. "Players all continue to report it as a distraction."
