Half-Life: Alyx gets a Source Filmmaker movie for those of you without VR
Half-Life: Alyx may have prompted the purchase of nearly a million more VR headsets in the month after it first launched, but that’s a drop in the bucket – countless millions of PC players still don’t have VR, and thus haven’t experienced the latest chapter of Half-Life’s story. However, this summer you’ll be able to see Alyx’s side of the story thanks to Half-Life: Alyx Animated, an animated fan film created in the Source engine.
Using Source 2 Filmmaker, Valve machinima artist Half Peeps is creating a movie version of Half-Life: Alyx’s narrative that traces the full story of Alyx Vance’s quest to rescue her father, Dr. Eli Vance, from the Combine in City 17, five years before the events of Half-Life 2. Working with fellow resistance member Russell, Alyx learns of a superweapon held deep within the city and sets out to hijack it.
