I'm not sure about that. I read Alyx as a very successful tech demo intended to push the market sector out a bit and make money off the platform and hardware, rather than a renewed more games-centric direction for Valve. Much like iD's output often being tech demos for the game engines that they then license to other studios.
- scollet 6y ago> very successful tech demo Can't think of a Valve game that doesn't fit this description.
- outworlder 6y agoTech demo? Have you played it? It's a heck of a "demo". It's about the size of Half Life 2.
- dspillett 6y agoI do not doubt it is a full game. But that is not its sole purpose. The only debate is whether is a game first, or a demo of how full games work in the framework/hardware first and a full game because that was deemed the best way to showcase the what is possible.
