Half-Life: Alyx New Mod Allows Game to Be Played Without VR Headset
In less than a week, Half-Life: Alyx has become playable without a VR headset and with mouse and keyboard controls thanks to a new mod

Can't wait to actually play this. I love that they added so many comfort and motion/teleport options right from the start, as well as support for basically every 6DoF headset that can get to Steam.Just played a couple more hours using blink mode and no motion sickness at all, this is prob best way for me.
This game is fantastic! gfx and gameplay are top notch.
Not only is it ace in gameplay and atmosphere, its one of the best-looking games I've ever played too, VR or not
Possible to play without VR?
I might get a Valve index for this. I love Half-Life THAT much....but damn you Gabben for charging so much for that bundle!!!
Yep, $400 for Quest...Or Rift S for the same price. You give up the stand-alone option, but add more comfort. There's also the brand new WMR headset from HP/MS/Valve $600 that I think pre-orders just went live on.they say you can use the quest

It's possible for a price drop on Quest this holiday, but Oculus is known for doing new hardware in the spring. Something to keep in mind. I'm glad I got mine while I was still under quarantine. It was the perfect time to explore places within my own home. As long as PSVR keeps coming out with games, I guess I don't need a 3rd headset, nor really want to sell either one. I just wish I had a gaming PC, all of the sudden. It's really a darn shame the way Microsoft is dragging their feet on console VR. The VR community would feed itself instantly, IMO. They will never know if they do not try, but I seriously believe that they are holding back the market potential for VR simply by staying out of it.there’s talk of a new quest, I may just wait for that...
Played it a few times, it's amazing though I often feel low on ammo all the time. Those things jumping at your face are freaky as hell. Makes me think of way back when I first played HALO and first ran into The Flood, but at the same time how far gaming has come.
I don't own it, but my local mall has a VR Lounge so I tried it there. During lockdown, they added this plus Valve Index so I got to try that to.
What did you think of the Index?
