A modder has recreated Half-Life 2 in VR using Half-Life: Alyx’s Source 2 engine, and so far the results look really promising.
Alyx has barely been out for a week, but already we are seeing dedicated fans doing what dedicated fans do best: mod their way happily past whatever was released by the official devs in order to fulfill any tangential fantasies left unsatisfied.
Vect0r shares his process, saying he converted the original Half-Life 2 map file - as well as some of its assets - to the Source 2 format before adding it to Half-Life: Alyx. He explains that he was unfortunately limited by the fact that Valve hasn’t shared the full Source 2 software development kit with the public yet (and they might not do so for a while still).
