Lambda1VR: Half Life Mod For Oculus Quest

Now you can play one of the expansions of the original Half Life through the Oculus Quest headset
A fan of a game popular at the time, and part-time developer DrBeef_ldn just launched an update for his great quest mod. The update fixes a specific issue at the start of Blue Shift that was preventing players from accessing the game. While the developer admits he hasn't used Blue Shift support for himself, he says it should work. You can see a brief gameplay snippet from the experience right here.
Blue Shift was the first of three story expansions for Half-Life. The game replaced Gordon Freeman as the main character for one of the guards in the Black Mesa facility. It was not developed by Valve, but borrowed from Gearbox Software.
This leaves the obvious question; will there be a second expansion pack, Opposing Force, with the same support? “I expect that once I finish HL and BS, the desire will be too big and I won’t be able to contain it,” said the developer on Reddit. “However, it will be very similar to starting from scratch in many ways.”
We're not too familiar with the differences between Opposing Force and past Half-Life games, so we're not entirely sure why this is. However, fingers crossed, it's happening. The third expansion to the game was a co-op campaign exclusive to the PS2 edition, so don't expect to see that in Quest.
Elsewhere in Half-Life VR news Rumors continue to circulate about a new game being developed by Valve itself for PC VR headsets. We're still hoping to see him this year even though the window is starting to close.
