CD Projekt Red's recent conference call not only gave us the news on Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer microtransactions, but there were also questions of Valve's Half-Life: Alyx potentially hurting CDPR's upcoming game and their stance on VR in general.

Half-Life: Alyx will support almost every Steam VR compatible device, which means you don't have to spend a fortune on high-end headsets to play Valve's VR title.

Valve is slowly releasing details about freshly-announced Half-Life: Alyx for virtual reality headsets, and now we've got the hardware specifications too. Don't worry as they're quite modest, but VR headsets are another story altogether.

Valve's announcement of what's technically Half-Life 3 but not really has somehow managed to be both good and bad news - Half-Life: Alyx is coming but only for VR. There is hope though - the company would love to continue pushing forward.

In their attempt to make a true VR blockbuster, Valve will not only be releasing Half-Life: Alyx - they'll roll it out with all the tools you may need to create your own environments and share it with the rest of the Half-Life community.

Valve's official announcement of sort-of-Half-Life-3 is a done deal but it's not just about the launch trailer - there's The Final Hours of Half-Life: Alyx - Behind Closed Doors at Valve documentary too, whose leaked transcript was spot on.

We've known about Valve's plans for Half-Life: Alyx as a VR title but now we've got it in proverbial writing as the company rolled out a trailer, teasing bits and pieces of the narrative and showing some quite delicious VR visuals.

One could assume Valve are channelling Blizzard as they announced the next instalment from a franchise that is immensely popular on PC will continue the career on a different platform. Half-Life: Alyx will be a VR title, to be announced on 21 November 2019.

It may not be Half-Life 3 but it's the next best thing, right? Well, that's if the rumours are indeed true, as word came out that Valve is preparing to announce Half-Life: Alyx at this year's The Game Awards on Thursday, 12 December 2019.

Saber Interactive, the company you know from their zombilicious shooter World War Z, have already revealed they offered to develop Days Gone's multiplayer, but their CEO Matthew Karch says they also pitched a Half-Life 2 remake to Valve.
