You get a good look at the shotgun in the video where Alyx fights a load of Combine:
Now let’s zoom in a little: That’s great, that. What a cracking little arm that gun has. How weird the whole design is. I also like that the arm is too lazy to pull the bolt itself; that’s on Alyx. One clear advantage of VR is that you could, if you wanted, raise that shotgun right up to your face to watch the mechanism at work. Press it to your virtuaear and listen to the click-clacking. Lovely. Half-Life: Alyx is due to launch March 23rd on Steam. Valve’s own Index VR gear might be sold out with Covid-19 disrupting the supply but it’ll also work on Vive, Oculus, and other cybergoggles.
