I've been meaning to borrow my friends index to play this for.... Damn. Time flies.

The worst thing about Half-Life Alyx is that ends at exactly the same point where Epsiode 2 ended. So the Half-Life story timeline never moved forward beyond that.

Is it worth buying the psvr2 adapter, a bluetooth adapter and the game to play it on my 1070ti?

Im good, thanks. Wake me up when we have more than 20 great singleplayer games for VR and not just...3 or 4 and one every 2-3 years.

With UEVR you do!

Oh good question.

I wonder if anyone has examined the system load of PSVR2, compared to alternatives. The encoding used to transmit the video makes all the difference in the world -- when I was on an underpowered / baseline system playing Alyx years ago, the Oculus Link (direct connection) had a such a high drag on my system that the game was unplayable. But by switching to the super fast encoding of Virtual Desktop, it was a night and day difference.

So it's very possible that the PSVR2's adapter will bump up the system requirements of games dramatically if it isn't efficient.

There is no video encoding requirement on PSVR2, it's a direct HDMI connection to the adapter. Only Meta Quest requires it because it has no real video port.

Well you should be able to get it going at a viable level, as for is it worth jumping through those hoops I can't answer. I will say that once you played Alyx the problem is you can't get any other games at a comparable quality, there are alot of really good mods though as per my previous post.

I think that's too much effort & cost for me because I actually don't have enough power for the whole range of VR games, Alyx looks partly choppy in the video.
Maybe when I get a new PC at some point; in 10 years or so I'll pick up Alyx as a "retro" game then

I'd be ordering the adapter to play it already but my PC is shit and I don't think it makes sense to play the game at this quality or framerate

I'm going to pay attention to how well PSVR2 performs on PC.. my Girlfriends Son wants VR for Christmas this year and being he has a gaming PC and a PS5 it may be the perfect choice.

Just popped back in here to say I just finished and my mind is blown. THE best VR experience ever and one of the top 10 best endings to any game I've played. So unbelievably awesome.
