Unfortunately, I couldnt get that set-up to work.
Thankfully, Valve offered reviewers the opportunity to play the game with itsIndexVR headset, which solved that problem.
Gordon Freeman’s drive up the coast is a special moment in gaming history.
My laptop didn’t have one.
Mind you, this was during the first week of Covid lockdowns.
Eventually, I got everything together, played through Alyx, and had a great time.
That’s because Valve, unlike all other triple-A developers, creates games for PC first and foremost.
Being a PC first developer means that Valve knows how to take advantage of the PC as a platform.
But my PC couldn’t even run Alyx at maximum configs.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
That would immediately solve my whole problem.
Is The Steam Deck The Solution?
But should I really be playing the big new Half-Life game on a handheld?
Then again, this game does not officially exist yet.
Of course, when that announcement happens, I will instantly become very worried.
Hopefully I have time to figure this out.
