The original Half-Life 2 VR mod, which debuted back in 2013, is being updated to support the latest hardware so Rift and Vive owners may experience the classic game in a new dimension. Included is motion controller support, as well HDR lighting, updated textures, and a new for-VR UI. All you need is a copy of the original game and its episodic content, as the mod is free. This is certainly going to make the wait for Half-Life 3 easier…
Praised as one of the greatest games ever made, the 13-year-old Half-Life 2 is a lauded piece of gaming history. But soon you’ll be able to revisit the perils of City 17 using the latest and greatest VR hardware around. A reborn mod project is bringing compatibility for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive with full motion input support, remastered visuals, a made-for-VR UI, realistic weapon interactions, and more. Those who have been following the modern VR era since the beginning may recall the original HLVR mod launched in 2013 that was well ahead of it’s time, offering motion-controller input via the Razer Hydra, literally years before Oculus or Valve would announce their own VR controllers.
