    This was the video I was waiting for when I saw that last one.
    When I was small, I used to revel in breaking out of maps just to see what I could see. The two games that I would do this the most in was Halo 1 and 2 for the original xbox. You could really break those games if you tried hard enough. I think a spent more time breaking out of maps than I did actually playing the game. Those memories are the fondest I have of my childhood.

      The citadel was always in 3D, a building that size would make it easily noticeable if it was in 2D.
      In fact the only it was in 2D was in Episode 2 because it was a ruin really far away and the game tries to get your attention on the portal storm happening above it.

If I had VR I feel like I would've done the same things as you. explore and marvel at what's in front of me but also eventually break it and have fun with that as well. I don't know what I'm really trying to say here. It's just that it's great to see someone like video games and be excited about them even in their 30s like you. I'm rambling)

      @HeyItsMrTom 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't think these environments are made in Source 2. From Valve's post about these preview locations: "The rendering technology available in SteamVR's native environments is different than that in Half-Life: Alyx, and the interactivity is significantly lower than what the game itself provides. So while these scenes do not have quite as much fidelity as they will in the actual game, we think they are a faithful enough translation to provide a fun VR preview of the game's setting". Going outside the bounds of the intended area is probably not something they considered while developing these preview locations.

    • @carrot5610
      @carrot5610 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You can definitely rebind the double tapping and resetting your playspace in the bindings menu if the menu gets annoying.
    In boneworks, since your body is attached to your camera, using this playspace mover you can fling yourself to places. I've flinged myself in the menu level so hard that i flew straight up, breaking the window with my head and flying out of the map. Was actually impressed by the interaction. I had no idea you could break stuff by going fast like that!
    In other games it might allow you to look into the wall but generally not much else apart from moving your body up and down without moving irl.
