Everything appeared to be running smoothly, that is until the project hit an unexpected dead-end, much to the dismay of the VR community. The team even received an official blessing from Valve. This included additional locomotion mechanics, an optimized user interface, and other helpful changes. It's apples and oranges though, it's comparing an arcade-style action romp to a more cinematic story-driven one. In 2017, however, a spark of hope was ignited when the original creators announced plans to bring the mod to modern headsets alongside a suite of improvements designed specifically with VR in mind. Half-Life was an incredible and immersive experience unlike anything else in 1998, but in 2019 I'm still playing Doom for fun and only touch the original Half-Life out of nostalgia. Unfortunately, advancements in VR technology would eventually render the mod useless on modern headsets such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, much to the dismay of the early VR community. Originally released in 2013 on the original Oculus Rift DK1, the HL2VR mod allowed early adopters to play through the entirety of Half-Life 2’s single-player campaign in VR with support for the Razer Hydra motion controllers.
A popular VR mod for Valve’s legendary first-person shooter is set to return years after losing compatibility with modern headsets.
