In the past two days, the report of "GTA6" being leaked by hackers on a large scale has caused discussion in many communities, which reminds people of a similar incident nearly 20 years ago.
In November 2003, the source code of "Half-LIFE 2" under Valve was leaked, and at that time, only a few weeks before "Half-LIFE 2" was officially released - in the end, the leak caused Valve to lose nearly $250 million, and "Half-LIFE 2" was postponed to be released until October 2004.
Domestic players may not be familiar with Half Life 2, because when "Half Life 2" was first released, CS, which is also a first-person shooter, was in China. In foreign countries, "Half-Life 2" has attracted much attention from players and industries. The first time it debuted in E3 became a topic product and won many awards, becoming a masterpiece of the game in the minds of many people at that time.
Now, eighteen years have passed. Although "Half Life 3" is not seen, "Half Life 2" uses a very open MOD modular engine. Various MODs based on " Half Life " are emerging one after another: With the "Gary Module", "Half Life 2" is still selling well. Recently, Source VR MOD Team has launched "Half Life 2: VR MOD" for free, allowing players to use VR to relive and play this classic game launched in 2004!
was once trapped in the "development hell"
It is understood that Source VR MOD Team is a third-party development team spontaneously composed of fan developers. In 2017, the team regained an abandoned "Half-Life 2" VR MOD project (this version is an extension of the early Mod released by Razer Hydra in 2013) and developed it. However, due to the loss of core personnel and the inability to keep up with technology, the project was almost stagnant.
It was not until July 2021 that Source VR Mod Team announced the arrival of new members to revitalize the development work, and on September 16 this year "Half-Life 2: VR MOD" was officially released on the Steam platform as a public beta version.
According to Source VR Mod Team, most of the changes to "Half-Life 2: VR MOD" are based on the VR design of "Half-Life: Alyx", which can enable the 2004 "Half-Life 2" to run on the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive platform and support VR device controllers.
It is worth mentioning that as long as the player owns the original game, he can download this MOD for free through Steam. Even in the public beta stage, players can use VR to play "Half-Life 2" from beginning to end. Judging from the introduction on the Steam platform, although "Half-Life 2: VR MOD" has not been completely completed, it has brought a series of new features, including:
Full-room VR with tracking motion control, allowing players to use VR The way to move around the game, grab items and climb ladders;
provides intuitive and realistic weapon interaction, and can quickly switch weapons and shoulder ammunition storage through the radial menu;
control options include: full left-hand support, laser sight and arcade-style "fast reinstallation";
supports dynamic vignettes and third-person car cameras and other comfortable functions (note: there is currently no transmission mobile option);
can run on any VR device supported by SteamVR.
has received 98% of positive reviews from gamers
It should be noted that although "Half-Life 2: VR MOD" can be downloaded for free, it has the lowest limit on computer configuration. However, I believe that the computer configuration of gamers is basically only high or low:
As of today, "Half-Life 2: VR MOD" has just been online for 5 days on the Steam platform, and there have been 1,452 reviews, of which 98% are positive reviews. Many players are very novel about the experience of playing "Half-Life 2" in VR.
"Key and mouse: One person fucks the United Army, I am a free man; VR: A waste ordinary citizen who has never used a gun."
" Where is my half-life 3? What? 2 Is there any update? mod? What I want is 3! What? Get 2 into VR? ! Are you a God? ! "
Some players also summarized the game experience:
" The game is great. By the way, put the left handle at the head and press the trigger key to turn on the flashlight. "
" It's better to wait and move in an instant. After playing for half an hour, I've fainted. ”
