On that note if anyone reading this has some sort of relevent programming or graphics skillset and wants to help make Half-Life 2 great again, then do please contact us through our greenlight page, subreddit, etc.
The best we can do for now is "soon", as soon as the hands of our programmers and artists allow it. We know the top question on everyone's minds is when exactly that will be, but these things they take time, especially with a team of unpaid volunteers.
#HALF LIFE 2 VR MOD INSTALL#
Having the project on Steam will make it easier for us to develop, and of course much easier for people to install and update when we start releasing builds. all around the world for the awesome coverage of our greenlight campaign, we had great fun using machine translation to read about it in a variety of languages :) We ❤️ you all! Particular thanks also to the many websites, bloggers, youtubers, etc. The whole team offers their heartfelt thanks to the ~15,769 wonderful people who have voted for us at the time of writing! The 95% yes rate and all the positive comments have given us many warm fuzzies over the last couple of days and kept us on the front page of the Steam community and the Half-Life 2 page. Many titles have been abandoned after such holidays, and this time it may be the same.We have been greenlit! A great day for Half-Life 2, and therefore, the world!

Most employees at Valve have now a month-long holiday break. The situation should clarify in the near future.

Tyler McVicker estimates that currently the project has a 50% chance of survival.Īlso in development is a new VR game set in the Half-Life universe, but this project is currently in the prototype phase and no one is working on its narrative aspects. There are supposed to be next-gen wireless goggles in development, but they will come out in a few years at the earliest, if the work on this device is completed at all.Most employees are said to have lost interest in VR, and of those who still want to be involved in it, some have already moved on to other companies. Valve has attempted to develop a sequel several times before and failed miserably.Īll this does not mean that Valve has completely abandoned VR. A team of several people is trying to restart the development of H元, but it's unclear if anything will come of it. Tyler McVicker has modified his original video to clear up the misunderstanding. If you're reading other websites, you may have seen that this information was taken as confirmation of the game's existence, but the reality is a little different. In addition, a small group of developers may be working on Half-Life 3. The official announcement will supposedly take place within the next two years.

Project Citadel - a cooperative hybrid shooter and RTS set in the Half-Life universe - supposedly lost its VR component. The move away from VR has led to big changes in the studio's projects in development. Employees supposedly think they've been overtaken by Facebook, which has bought up most of the top virtual reality development teams and dominated the market in terms of hardware with the cheap Oculus Quest 2. The latest one brings a lot of interesting information about the new projects of this developer.įirst of all, Valve was said to have largely lost interest in VR technology. Youtuber Tyler McVicker (formerly of Valve News Network) is one of the best-informed people about what's going on in Gabe Newell's company, so we welcome any of his materials devoted to the company with great interest.
