I have a feeling it will have a PSVR release considering Valve want to make VR a success.

I don't know why I'm bothering to read the Era thread on this, it's legit giving me a headache.

Half life is coming back, but because it's VR lets dismiss it because. Why people can't just treat it like another format and stop being so strawberry floating hostile towards it I dont know.

Gimme dat crowbar to bash some headcrabs jumping at me.

It's the "I'm not personally interested in VR so why should it get anything that I would otherwise want" crowd and they're strawberry floating tiresome.

I saw someone there raise a point that back in the 90's everyone wanted a Neo Geo, but strawberry float all people had them because of the cost. So it's not as if products that require a premium outlay are anything new. You can't afford it now? Then wait till you can.

Another thing is the number of people who are taking the time to claim they're "over" Half-Life as it's been so long. Guarantee half of them wanked themselves into a frenzy over Shenmue III.

The usual round-about of "It's a gimmick and there's no real games". Well what about this full game, this full game and this full game. "Oh those games don't count".

Can't wait to hack the VR out of this, play it at 10fps on an ancient laptop, using a Switch Pro Controller, and declare it rubbish.

I'm gonna post a really long negative review and force you both to read it.

:lol:

Resetera are just so relentlessly negative about a few things and VR is one of them. And I can understand the point of view as there are issues, but reading a thread on a high-profile VR game and 50% of it is people just whinging about "Oh it should be a proper game", or "I'm not interested as it's VR" and it gets old really fast as you know 90% of those people have never even tried VR in the first place. Part of me wishes Valve had just called it Half-Life 3 to really strawberry floating annoy them.

I've had a long day as well though. :lol:

It'll be on PS soon enough. They will want to recoup their money somehow.

In fairness, Gabe had previously been on stage with Sony to announce PS versions of... The orange box I think? So it's not impossible.

But saying one of the most profitable companies in the world would do it to try and get an extra bit of cash is a bit misjudged.

I love that Ad7 has become the Gamerforever of VR. It's just so cute to see him care about something. :wub:

Once you have seen the VR light there is no other.

It is the one true path and shall lead us all to the promised land.

Interesting they've now cut the original jail bait line out of that scene.

Can't be long before someone markets a groinal attachment for VR!

The jail bait line is still in the Netflix version of that episode?

That's not a question. I'm sure they took it out. Same with the chicken mcnugget joke in Kryten.

Alright, don't get tetchy. ;)

If you mean the "she's not jail bait, she's 17" line then that's definitely still in.

Chicken Mcnugget is still in as well - although they cut a few frames so it loses the "Mc" part so it sounds like Rimmer is just referring to any random brand of nugget.

Valve don't need to worry about recouping money.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

No, they don't but I'd like to see it on PSVR as I have one. I prefer a remake of Half Life over any of the new stuff. The time is right.
