RELATED: Redditor Takes Rick-Rolling To VR In Half-Life: Alyx
There is, of course, a notable improvement in the visuals thanks to the updated engine - Vect0r also includes a direct comparison montage at the end of the video, highlighting the visual differences between the original Half-Life 2 and its spruced-up VR edition. The segment of gameplay in Vect0r's video shows a sequence from Half-Life 2 near the beginning of the game, around the plaza outside the train station in City 17 where Gordon wakes up. Modder and YouTuber Vect0r uploaded a video yesterday showcasing the result of having ported Half-Life 2 into the same engine used in Half-Life: Alyx - the Source 2 engine. Valve told us from the start that they would be making it possible for modders to build their own VR-friendly environments and levels using some of the Source 2 tools and components used in Alyx. Nevertheless, we're still amazed at how people hit the ground running pretty much from the get-go, and have already blown us away.
