Half-Life: Alyx - Final Hours is an interactive book about the making of the VR game Half-Life: Alyx (HL:A). HL:A is the best VR experience I've had, and one of the best game experiences I've ever had, so I was interested in finding out some of the backstory of the development of this game from Valve. The format is that you scroll through a lot of text, interspersed with images, videos and interactive mini-games. ...

While it can feel somewhat fluffy and promotional at times (although similarly, very self-aware of the flaws and tribulations of Valve and its development process), the real gold of Geoff Keighley's Half-Life: Alyx - Final Hours is the treasure trove of development material, conceptual artwork, behind the scenes footage, and never-before-seen information about cancelled games, which easily earns it an extra...

A decently short but interesting and informative view of how Valve develops their hardware, software and games. Not only is it informative but also has some neat little interactions along the way! If you are into IT, complex projects or just like how great minds think, definitely worth checking out.

Worth checking out, if you are interested in Half-life and the BTS surrounding half-life. Along with some interesting intractive elements.

A highly illuminating, richly detailed and absolutely fascinating look at the development of Half-Life: Alyx, with a few detailed chapters focusing briefly on other cancelled projects at Valve (both hardware and game/software). DO NOT go into this expecting a full reveal of the cancelled Episode 3 or HL3, because understandably Valve did not discuss too much of this - the core of the Final Hours of Alyx story is the...

Incredible! Hint: I will not speak anything about the details / informations. (Spoiler free!) First, i thought that this is a "movie". Just bought it and started it. Wow! A interactive software. About this software: Thats a well made "ebook". A interactive ebook. It have so many interactive 3D animations, videos, mini games (Alyx games!) and a soundboard. This got so many background infos which aren't public...

3 minutes into it: "It's starting to look better than it has in a while, so that's promising," responds Michael Coupland, an 11-year veteran of Valve who admits he hasn't yet shipped a game at Valve because his projects keep getting canceled" This is gonna be good.

A lot of information that was left to speculation for so, so long about Valve is now public. I'm kinda speechless right now... never though the day would come. If you told me 2 years ago that Valve was developing a new Half-Life game, I would have laughed at you. Now we know everything that has happened at Valve since that cliffhanger in 2007. Please give this a read if you played any of the games / at least watched...

Geoff Keighley's The Final Hours of Half-Life: Alyx only appeared on my radar a couple of days ago, just as it started gearing up for launch. In the excitement that followed Alyx’s reveal – in what seems like a hundred years ago now – I’d forgotten that the project had even been announced. But it had, and it was coming shortly after Alyx’s release. A pleasant surprise: The Final Hours of Half-Life: Alyx is very good...
