Half-Life: Alyx Locomotion Videos [Mar 02, 2020, 8:21 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve offers
three new videos from Half-Life: Alyx showing off gameplay from the
upcoming VR installment in the Half-Life series. The focus is to show the
different ways Alyx will navigate in the game:
The first demonstrates
the game's teleportation locomotion method,
the second shows a
continuous locomotion style, and
the third is what they
call the shift locomotion style. Additionally,
IGN has a new video of their own showing the different locomotion methods
with nine minutes of direct-feed gameplay. Word is: "See how Half-Life looks and
feels in VR, and note that we intentionally switch from Blink movement mode to
Continuous at the 6:06 mark so you can see the different locomotion settings in
action."

Too expensive to have developed this game for both VR AND PC? How much were they paid by VR developers to make it VR exclusive?
It just wouldn't be the same experience. If you used WASD and a mouse, then it would probably break the combat because you'd be OP. Or they would have to gimp the controls and character speed, and it wouldn't be fun anymore etc.
Having said that, I'm fairly sure you can emulate VR controls with a mouse and keyboard if you just want to play it. But honestly you're missing out the main point of playing a VR game which is the immersion you get from mainly headset and the hand controllers.
