Is it? I saw that Valve also is getting much attention with Half-Life Alyx and Valve Index.
- darkerside 6y agoNo technology impactful enough to be worth investing over $100k is operating in a zero sum market
- sgift 6y agoAlyx I would agree, but for Index the reaction I usually saw was more of "yeah, okay, nice, but far too expensive. Let's wait a few years for an affordable solution" while Quest is praised all the time.
- ArtWomb 6y agoAlyx is remarkable. You are in the Black Mesa universe. And it's appropriately horrifying. But in a perverse way, and this is probably a generational thing, I found the original PC-era Half-Life more immersive. Just could not stop playing until I reached the end. And was always rewarded with a narrative that got weirder by degrees. I think it was the novelty of getting stuck and seeking out trustworthy walkthroughs from some anonymous dial-up era phpBB forums ;)
