Fan recreates Half-Life: Alyx intro in Far Cry 5

There is a solution for everyone who does not have a VR headset but still wants to see or experience something from Half-Life: Alyx. A fan has used Far Cry 5’s map tools to recreate the beginning of Half-Life: Alyx.

SaintPerkele makes more maps for Far Cry 5 and has now recreated the intro to Half-Life: Alyx. Those interested can try out the map called Far Cry Alyx for themselves if they are logged in to Far Cry Arcade, but the creator has also published a gameplay video showing his creation. His map can only be tried on PC for now, but SaintPerkele expresses the hope that it will soon be possible on consoles as well.

He says that the gameplay on his created map is not that much and that it was mainly an exercise to copy the beginning of Half-Life: Alyx with as much detail as possible. He seems to have succeeded in that. Players get a similar look at City 17, including the detailed skyscraper and a fairly identical-looking office.
