Modifikace povýšily hned dvě hry ze světa Half-Lifu na novou úroveň. Poslední díl určený pouze pro virtuální realitu je konečně díky komunitní práci možné dohrát i klasicky na klávesnici a myši a naopak populární remake prvního dílu se dočkal i VR verze

The Backrooms began as an image. Posted on April 21, 2018, a small thumbnail picture appeared on 4chan’s /x/ board showing a yellow room, its walls all in the wrong places, with gold-yellow carpets and fading yellow flock wallpaper. It was at once entirely innocuous, and somewhat unsettling. And...

Ačkoliv to bude od vydání prvního Half-Lifu letos 25 let, stále se najdou způsoby, jak původní hru modernizovat. Aktuálně se nabízí především technologie ray-tracing, která hře dodá realistické zpracování světla a reflektivních ploch. Jednu takovou modifikaci si můžete vyzkoušet
Former Half-Life Writer Now Regrets Releasing 'Epistle 3' Summary
2.3.2023
Six years ago, former Valve and Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw posted a fictional letter on his website that sure read a lot like an outline for the never-likely-to-be-released Half-Life 2: Episode Three. Now, looking back years later, he regrets the decision, and says he was “deranged” when...

PS VR2: The Kotaku Review
16.2.2023
VR is not the Future of Gaming™. Rather, it’s an active, thriving, wonderful part of its present with many great experiences to enjoy. PS VR2 joins in on that fun with one of the best headsets you can presently buy. But at a cost of $550 dollars for the unit and its controllers (in addition...
What You Should Know About Horizon Call of the Mountain, PS VR2's Biggest Game
16.2.2023
A fully realized VR experience in the world of Sony’s Horizon franchise is an exciting prospect indeed, but Horizon Call of the Mountain can’t fully deliver on that promise. It’s too small in scope, has a surplus of arcadey combat scenarios that instantly break immersion with their rigid structure...
Ohořelé tělo v Half-Life 2 vytvořili z fotky skutečné mrtvoly, tvrdí hráči

The Best First-Person Shooters You Can Play In 2023
6.1.2023
Despite having been the industry’s driving force of graphical fidelity and use of technology since the early 90s, the first-person shooter is paradoxically one of the most timeless genres. 30-year-old classics remain just as playable as the most cutting edge contemporary releases. Which is all...
Fans Discover Half-Life 2 Corpse Has Actual Dead Human’s Face

We’re about a week and some days away from Halloween, my fave holiday, but the spooky season is already in full swing here at Kotaku. While I’ve recently blogged about FromSoftware games—and Bloodborne’s Amygdala—giving me the creeps, I figured I’d expand the scope and round up some of the most...

PS5's New VR Tech Is Making A Great First Impression
14.9.2022
Sony’s PSVR for PlayStation 4, the first serious VR add-on for a console, did pretty darn well for itself. It was reasonably affordable, well received by players and critics alike, and got a lot more post-launch support than many prior PlayStation hardware efforts (RIP, dear Vita). Now, various...
