Sound is also a huge "presence"-enabler that is always, ALWAYS under-utilized in VR. The embarrassingly-bad Boneworks cannot hold a candle to the sense of physical presence here. This is the most robust engine I have seen for VR, ever. But the product, as it stands now, is flawless. Do I wish there were more weapons? More modes? More enemy types? Absolutely. And Half Life: Alyx is the best VR title I have ever played. I have ridiculous standards at this point. It's hard to be impressed with a lot of the output in recent years, let alone immersed. I've talked to all the developers, and did some hobbyist development myself. I've played everything there has been to play, watched the community and niche grow for years. I've owned the Rift development kits 1 + 2, CV1, and been enjoying my Vive since not long after release. It's hard to be impressed with a I have been in the VR resurgence scene since early 2013. In an unused line in Half-Life 2: Episode One, Alyx Vance mentions that her father Eli once took her on a tram at Black Mesa.I have been in the VR resurgence scene since early 2013. The announcement system is voiced by Kathy Levin, who also provided the voice of Gina Cross and her Holographic Assistant counterpart. This led to the creation of the opening tram ride in the chapter Black Mesa Inbound as an amusement park-style train ride showcase, something other games at the time were only doing in prerecorded cutscenes. The train entity used to create the tram sequences was added to the engine tools by programmer Jay Stelly. The Central Transit Hub was originally intended to be visited in Half-Life: Decay, but the mission was cut from the final game. It is connected to the Blue Line of the Black Mesa Transit System. Area 9 Central Transit Hub is also the original final destination of the tram used by Barney Calhoun before it is rerouted to the Sector C Line. It is apparently the only Transit System station where high-security trains can be boarded. The Central Transit Hub is only mentioned and never actually visited. Level A of this Black Mesa Transit System section can be accessed from Sector C Line, where the G-Man is first seen in Half-Life, and leads to an unnamed area where the first Shock Trooper and zombie security guards are encountered. Sector E Line Ĭonnected to Area 9 Security Checkpoint, it is located below the Sector B Line and above the Sector C Line. Before the Test Labs stop, the line passes beside another, leading to Level A of Sector E Subsurface Transport, and taken by Adrian Shephard after leaving the Infirmary. Gordon Freeman and Barney Calhoun take it to reach their respective workplaces on the day of the Black Mesa Incident, Barney from Area 9 Security Checkpoint, Gordon from Level 3 Dormitories. Gordon Freeman riding along the Sector C Line.Ī medium-security line, it is connected to Area 9 Security Checkpoint, Level 3 Dormitories, Area 3 Medium Security Facilities, and Test Labs. Adrian Shephard also briefly hitches a ride on a damaged tram before being left behind by the military. Gordon Freeman and Barney Calhoun, for example, ride a tram to work from their dormitories shortly before the incident. The protagonists of the game use the Transit System before and after the Black Mesa Incident to get around the facility. The network is equipped with an announcement system which is mounted on the trams to give general information about the facility and mention each stop with a prerecorded female voice. It includes seats, a wheelchair space, windows, speakers and an electric door. Įach train consists of a single monorail car driven automatically. Provided for the security, comfort and convenience of the Black Mesa personnel, residents and visitors, it is managed by the Black Mesa Transit Authority. The Black Mesa Transit System is an extensive monorail system network linking the many different Sectors of the Black Mesa Research Facility and the primary form of transportation throughout the facility.
