Rumour: Valve is about to announce a VR game called Half-Life: Alyx
We'll believe it when we see it.
Update: According to a new transcript of the leaked interview, Half-Life: Alyx will be shown at The Game Awards on December 12.
Original story: This November 19 will mark the 21st anniversary of the release of the original Half-Life, and according to rumor it will also be when Valve announce a flagship virtual reality game called Half-Life: Alyx.
Valve are rarely interested in celebrating their own game's anniversaries, so take this rumor with a mouthful of salt. The source is apparently the same leaker responsible for the DOTA Underlords leak, and is quoting from an interview between "Geoff" (Geoff Keighley, in his capacity as the creator of the "Final Hours" documentaries about Valve games), Robin Walker (co-developer of Team Fortress 2 among other games), and an unnamed third person.
"March 2020, "Half-Life: Alyx" comin' out", says Geoff in the transcript.
Responding to the question of whether this game would be available for players without VR headsets, "I mean we would love to be delivering a version of this that you could play with a mouse and a keyboard, but like as we said, it began as an exploration of VR," an unnamed person replies.
As for how this entirely hypothetical game would play, the only clue is this statement: "You can see their whole body-- Respond to the situation. You know, panicking, dropping clips on the ground as they fumble their weapons 'cause a zombie's in front of them, all these things, they're just - it's been really fun watching playtests."
I've reached out to Valve for comment and will update this story if they reply.
Valve confirms Half-Life: Alyx, full reveal coming later this week

Edit: In case you haven't guessed it by now, this is a rumour. Or a rumor.

Apparently tomorrow is the reveal (teaser/interview) with a bigger reveal at the Game Awards.
Making the games they want? How about making the games that they actively promoted? Episode 3 was supposed to conclude the HL2 Trilogy around 2006.
Why Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Never Happened
One of gaming's most anticipated titles, Half-Life 2: Episode 3, never arrived. Why? We take a look at the mystery behind Half-Life 3...
For a Guy whose key advice to modders was 'Ship & Ship Often' surprisingly Gabe Newell is terrible at following it himself.
Eh, that guy is a complete buffoon who has no idea what he's talking about. Valve didn't even realize they wanted to make a VR headset until their Vive partnership went south, and this game started development before Vive even released.
Speak for yourself. I expect a lot of people will be going crazy after the gameplay reveal.
Ive had all vr headseta starting with dk1 in 2013... Ive had it all(almost). It's always amazing for a week and then collecta dust... And then You notuce horrible lenses quality, image bending, glare and pixels.
Some people will always make up excuses for things they can't buy. The worst is they end up convincing themselves and others in the process.
1% would be a lot. Much less own index I think
Quartering. Though I expect the source will be incorrect about the reception of the game because that doesn't tie in with what ValveNewsNetwork says, who would have much more contact.
Watch a YT video.
I'm not a hater, i'm just not rich.
You also have to add the graphics card update for it. Mid range cards won't cut it. 60fps is the minimum accepted frame rate and you need to feed 2 screens.
