Half-Life: Alyx is more than just a VR shooter. An incredibly well-developed system of interaction with the environment and realistic physics turn it into a "sandbox" suitable for the most unexpected activities. American teacher spent in it , a PC Gamer employee played headcrab, and after them a YouTube user under the nickname ChrisQuitsReality showed juggling tricks.
The author of the video juggles plates, bottles, billiard balls, chairs and even live grenades. The video is impressive for two reasons: firstly, the juggling in Half-Life: Alyx looks like a full-fledged mechanic, although the game was not designed for this, and secondly, ChrisQuitsReality has learned how to perform such movements amazingly well.
βHalf-Life: Alyx is not only an amazing VR game in every way,β he wrote. - The physical model in it is one of the best in projects of this kind. I tried juggling in many other VR games but nothing worked. Half-Life: Alyx is quite suitable for such tricks, although they are not easy to master. The main part of the techniques took more than an hour of training (for each). I can do them in real life, but in order to repeat all this in virtual reality, I had to not only learn anew, but also adapt to various features of VR.
According to the player, there were many difficulties. Hands strove to grab every object that came across, and when he managed to take what he needed, it was not the way it was required for juggling. In addition, objects often flew too high and broke. βIt was a nightmare,β he admitted. βIt was difficult, but I tried my best.β
Usually the juggler looks straight ahead or up to keep objects in sight. ChrisQuitsReality did exactly that at first, but realizing that it looked βterribleβ in the recording, he began to practice by looking at his hands. He tried many tricks, but not all were feasible. After several hours of unsuccessful attempts, he abandoned the combination training with four balls. Most of the tricks with three balls also failed, since you cannot hold two objects in your hand at the same time. However, in about an hour he learned the trick .
βI am delighted with the result and believe that the effort was worth it,β the author wrote. βJuggling in Half-Life: Alyx is great!β .
