Thanks for checking out our mod!

It’s not complete but we have been working with the community based on their feedback to shape the mod!

Try it out and give us feedback and help us perfect it! We just started in mid-March so we are just getting started. 😊

I think the only proper way to bring HLA to the flat screen is to recreate the mechanics from the Receiver game. Instead of simply pressing "R" and reloading you'd have to perform a few actions: pull the magazine out, take out a new one, insert it, and pull the slide. And then only after aiming you'll be able to fire. It will bring back the tension when you fail to reload during combat.

The 2 non-vr HLA mods I know of one being this one is a good way for basically 95% of the potential userbase to finally experience it. Obviously the game is geared for VR (slower moving gameplay, AI is a bit dumbed down, etc) So it shouldn't be taken for granted, but at least it makes it available.

I'm just gonna wait 15 years for VR to be somewhat affordable then play it.

This mod was the reason I bought the game lol. It is worth it fo sho unless you want THE experience but for anything else it is worth it.

[stormhought]

maybe installing a harder difficulty mod could help with it being so easy? There is also another mod in development by SoMNst on youtube that is not playable yet, but looks much more polished

[Beanibirb]

I can't afford a VR headset or have the space available for VR so this mod makes it infinitely easier for me to be able to experience this gem of a game.

I'm not a fan of VR, so this mod was a game changer (literally haha). I finally completed HL Alyx and had a blast!
However I hope that HL3 won't be in VR. For me Half-life is about fast-paced FPS, not a slow shooting range which HL Alyx mostly was.

[Andybananas]

might wanna check out SoMNst's noVR mod, its alot more polished and has been worked on since hla's release, although its not playable it still looks incredible!

[abbe]

I played it in vr and i player a bit in non vr, i dont have a vr headset anymore so its cool to be able to still play hl alyx albeit in a lesser experience.

[derbydriver]

I’ve been a huge Half-Life fan since 1998. I’ve waited 14 years for a new, official entry into the series. When Alyx was announced as a VR game, it was crushing to know that I’d likely never get to experience it. I’m a grown man, I have kids, I can’t be spending a ton of money on a VR setup let alone a PC powerful enough to run it.

So despite the fact that I am FULLY aware that Alyx will lose a MAJOR part of its experience by translating it to standard FPS controls, I still want to play it. I want to experience its story first hand, not through YouTube. I want to interact with that world again.

I’m more than willing to accept a subpar experience, as long as it means I get to have the experience at all.

[vladyslavstadnyk]

It IS worth to play in non-vr. I will complete the game using that mod, and someday, when I'll get an opportunity - I will do it again in VR.

[perhapsjames_]

Regardless I'm not going to pay money for a headset to play 1 game. The non vr mod will have to do.

[albeceldariu]

Decent VR headsets where I live are basicaly the price of a new PC. I'm 100% on the side of mods that let's the game be played without VR. If you have money to buy one, do it. If you don't want to "ruin" the experience by playing it without VR, don't. But the option for the people who wants to play it anyway is very good.

[yassepucku]

the mod is super cool
but i think it needs more animations

[Dusk-and-Joy-Gaming]

Already said this on LambdaGen, but I'll post here too;

I've been in support for this mod for a while now. I've not played the latest version; the one I tried out still had the HL2 HUD and you couldn't upgrade weapons. Even in that state I found the game fun to play. The game is better in VR, but some folks can't use VR and this is a good alternative.

Also it's really useful for me when I don't want to use my VR headset, and just want to get screencaps or video.

Not sure why the saves aren't showing up for you though, that is strange.

[thatanimeweirdo]

It's a great project and important as well. While it is a different experience, it offers a way to experience this game to people who are incapable of playing it via VR (whether it's due to the cost, phobias or disabilities). I see it as an accessibility option.

[TFB]

that's video i need'ed at 0:45 AM

[gloveman]

I think for those who are dying to experience the game, its a great mod. If you're able to play it in VR then you should. Either way, playing Alyx is a high reccomend.

[Nomadnetic]

I'm glad people that don't have headsets are able to finally experience it, but you are missing out without the headset experience.
