Patch what? It's a mod.
Valve: it's a feature, idiot
The crazy part is, that he climbed that distance with his real arms, an arm length every swing. How far was that? 2km? 3km? Crazy.
According to various wikis, the Citadel is in fact 2.5km-3km tall.
In VR it's interesting to wear a sports band, like Xioami Mi Band, that tracks a distance too. I often wear it when I play Beat Saber. :)
Took him half an hour at 2 meter per sec pace or 2 arm swings per sec pace
@@a1batross_ omg, i never thought about that, will need to try. Thanks!
@@a1batross_ do you really need a sports band for that? I'm pretty sure you can see your travel distance somewhere in SteamVR
I like how in each shot of Phil he’s wearing progressively less clothes lmao

Fun Fact: the citadel gets transparent at the top to blend with the clouds of the skybox to look like its so tall that can reach the clouds, this technique is also used in half life 2

Yeah
It was like some horror experience. As you make the climb your existence slowly fades into nothingness and the way the skybox texture is circular makes it seem very surreal
Source 1 maps were basically a big box with the upper surfaces painted with a skybox texture and you could bump into them. How does Source 2 do maps? Out of VR would an infinite or near-infinite map be possible?
It made me feel super uncomfortable to watch
It reminds me of The Talos Principle...
Overwatch: "Alert, an undentified personal is floating up to the citadel core. Someone please stop him."
HAHHAHA
_Attention, ground units - anti-citizen reported in this community. Code: lock, cauterize, stabilize._
the addition of "please" implies that no one can stop him
Combine Elite: Huh, what the- *_floating guy floats past the platform_* Ah, whatever, I might be dr-
Combine Voice: Alert, unauthorized dimensional anomaly detected. CODE: Clamp, Stabilize, Cauterize.
Combine Soldiers: FRICK YOU FLOATY MAN! *_firing AR-2 guns at him while he floats towards the top_*
The Citadel Core is in its basement, so he should've climbed down.

I feel like Philip's first instinct when loading into Half-Life: Alyx will be to break the game. No doubt.

Girl bad boy good now laugh
The description of the citadel slowly dissapearing sounds like something out of a lovercraft story
I thought the Citadel was a part of the skybox, not a full thing!
The layering problems show that it probably is part of the skybox, just the way the skybox works is... odd? It seems like it extends forever instead of being a solid box, like in Source 1. Either way the detail is amazing here
@Shallex Does Source 2 really still use a closed bsp system?
Within the game files, the skybox is actually a separate map. Don’t know how this is added into the game though.
@ShallexMy biggest gripe with Source 1 was the map limits and having to seal the map with solid surfaces that are only painted in sky.
@@EmApex that 3d skybox, the real item may be very small and placed under map.
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.
haha how funny and interesting
Ok
incredibly relatable
Absolutely brilliant.

Forgetting you are in VR for a second is real. Yank the headset off someone and watch how shocked they get. Like falling out of a dream :P
@@rich1051414 How can you even get so close to yank out the headset without getting punch by the controller
This reminds me of a trick I saw a speedrunner use in Boneworks. They would use one hand to grab a finger on the other hand, pull it, and fly into the air hahahaha

The fact that the low-poly textures in a modern half life game just look like the regular textures in the previous half life game is remarkable. What a difference 18 years make.

Dude I gotta say I've only watched 3 of your videos and I'ma already subscribed, I look forward to seeing more HLA content from you!
These videos are very important Philip. You are treading ground where no man would, and the information you gather doing so is of vital importance. The depth of your analysis's are unrivaled, and I would not know where to go if you were not here to provide this service. Thank you.
i can't belive its completly 3d and not part of the backround
background in hl2 was 3d too, it was just low poly and resolution
This was in half-life 2 too. The real model may be very small, but then it increases.
It’s low res 3D in Arkham series too, the parts of Gotham you’re not meant to be able to get to.
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.
it propably is the part of the background tho, just an enlarged model of a small map underneath the actual map
damn philly goin crazy this week
eh hl:a preview is content so yea
I wonder why everything fades away the closer you get? Maybe that's how they make it look like the citadel is piercing through the clouds
Massive respect for pulling off such a feat! As someone who struggled with the ascent of the gray cube in bone works, I’m impressed with your determination and stamina. Completing repetitive, yet simple, motions can become exhausting after a while. I imagine you ended up with quite the workout! I eagerly await the release of HL:A and I thank you for the content!
This would make for a great SCP if near the end you realized you're no longer "in VR" and/or can't leave it and then shit starts to get real.
Yea, then ya gotta climb back down again, the horror!
That's legit just the VR joke from Rick and Morty

1:56 Ah, the new skiing simulator
I subbed today, dude, your hilarious, you speak clearly and keep the conversation going. I'm becoming a big fan and started scouring your past vids. That whole you aren't cool in VR video had me laughing at work today. I got my fingers crossed for an index on Monday, but I can't wait to try own version of the headcrab assassin lol
Your coverage of HLA so far has been top notch. From the speculative and preview bits to this. I can't wait for more coverage from you.
(there's a certian quality to the way you are doing this that has brought me back to my childhood in a way. 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)
So glad I got my knuckles controllers when I did.
LifelessHawk i want to get those but idk where to buy just the knuckles and not the entire index
MostMercifulMoose On steam they have the controller only, but it’s out of stock.
They are coming back in stock March 9th, and will be sold out that day.
LifelessHawk ah booty cheeks
so early, i have to watch in 360p
Rt
Just like old times.
Imagine Philip doing it on purpose to do an upscaling video later xd
it still is 360p, I think youtube has some issues processing the video
watching a 2020 groundbreaking VR game in 360p... strange times
Super funny, loved the cuts to you IRL and laughed super hard when your shirt came off.
Listen here dude if there is ONE person in this world that should be uploading a full gameplay of half life alyx...IT HAS ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE YOU!!!! i cannot afford a vr set rn no matter what so i humbly ask you to do this for me and people like me out there! Thank you your content it may be my favorite on CZcams keep up the magnificent work!!!
If you already have a gaming PC a Rift S is $400. Saving up even for a year would be more than worth the experience you get in VR.
Im planning on recording it too. Ive been looking forward for this
interesting to see how little has really changed between source 1 and two the moment you get out of the intended play area
Then again, there was no need for _those_ areas to be upgraded since the player is so far away. This is quite nice.
@@TheBreakingBenny true, although he didn't travel that far out of the moveable area and the satellite dish had angles instead of being a triangle
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.
HeyItsMrTom I Hope that’s the case, I imagine the areas where we aren’t supposed to be able to go will still be significantly less detailed though, to improve the performance of the headsets.

I was expecting a throne and GMan sitting on it.
This whole vr experience really revealed my love for 2kliks, it's my favourite of the klikempire for sure. The combination of cool projects like odgrub, and the videos that you make because you want answers are great(like this one, or upscaling old videos)
you absolute mad lad Phil. normally things like that are small in a skybox, so its cool to see it looks large up close.
When are we gonna start seeing speedruns for climbing the Citadel?
When the video cut to you IRL I had to pause to laugh and give a like. Great work!
I love your videos on hl:a. When I first played through hl 2 I spent so much time zooming in on every little detail. Cool to see you do the same in the newest iteration of the series
This is my favourite HLA video i've seen, great work
I didnt do it this way, me and a friend literally had to walk to the citadel, WE PHYSICALLY WALKED TO IT, we did the snap turn exploit
Vid or it didn't happen
@@rusa2195 You're joking right? Thats almost an hour of just snap turn walking, I'm not going through that again.
1:21 "It looked more like Half Life 2" 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Kinda Looks Liked Half Life Source
I love your narration, I just imagine attempting to describe this without the video and think how much more of a story you can tell in VR than in traditional games. Even playing with the static environments seems more immersive
I love how passionate you are about going out of bounds on games. This video is great especially with the suspenseful soundtrack.
Phillip pulling himself further out into the map, reminds me of the shimmer in Annihilation, as things get stranger and surreal.
Imagine what this person will do when he actually gets the FULL GAME.
Heey, glad to see this so soon!
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.
This dug up an old memory. I remember over a decade ago there was a map where you ascended the Citadel by climbing ladders and gangways along the exterior while fighting various enemies from the HL2 beta. I do not think there are any surviving examples video or otherwise, but it was quite a spectacle.
Valve:
why is he always doing this
From how much this video alone activates my fear of heights, I'm really looking forward to the inevitable shaky bridge sequence this game should have, like in Half Life 2
Such a great dramatic narration in a clip so not conducive. Though probably it was the only way to make it at least not too boring. Mission accomplished. Applause!
Just discovered your videos. Love your content!!
hey joe, that mad lad alyx is at it again
looks like another one of those days ron...
You have the exact same dressing gown that I'm wearing now. Nice.
I love this dramatic storytelling.
The speedruns of this game will be something amazing to watch.
dayum, the citadel's lookin fine as hell

Filipe, I actually love the shorter style videos you've been pumping out that u probably would've made a fully package before. But it feels like I'm unable to keep up. Many videos have passed me since I don't expect another filipe video so soon.
The funny thing about this is that there are news articles about this

I love to rewatch this video just to appreciate the scale of the citadel and how well the music puts emphasis on this.
