It’s not new tho, Chelle in portal was a female protagonist, and that game has been VR’d to hell and back.

I think Alyx makes sense as a protagonist given how prominent of a character she was in HL2, regardless of gender.

What do you mean by this? As far as I can see there is no actual VR port of Portal. You can play it through something like VorpX, which gets you 3D display through a headset, but that can hardly be called "VR'd to hell and back".

Yeah, maybe “to hell and back” was strong, but it was used as the setting for “The Lab”, one of Valve’s first VR demos, and there’s a mod called “Portal Stories VR” which is one of the most developed and popular VR mods currently.
