I need to remind the sub room temperature IQ's of these threads how this works;PST, and EST, are different timezones, by three whole hours.Valve didn't start their workday until around 8-9 AM PST. By which point, you were already having your wee mid-morning-mid-noon succy wuccy or whatever you do at that time.Right now, it's 1:10PM, currently, you're having your late afternoon self suck session and wondering why HL3 has yet to be announced.Figured it out yet? It's because valve didn't announce HLA until another 2 hours from now. So. JUST FUCKING WAAAAAIIIIIIIT RETAAAAAAAARDDD DOOOIIEEE
>>726244591of course he didn't. All you fags pussied out of your promises.
Just got off the line with my inside source. He denied the rumors. Sorry, I know it sucks, but better to tell you guys sooner rather than later. - Doug
>>726244591day aint over so who knows
>>726244624Massive cope.
>>726244624what hours do they work anyway? Is it standard 9-5 or what?
I WANT TO BELIEVE
>>726244987Whenever Gabe wakes up from his food induced coma

Why would it be today and not tomorrow?
>>726245157Something about steam sales I think.
Now we wait. I'll let you guys know as soon as he replies.
G-man leak:https://files.catbox.moe/kgr0gv.jpg
I dont think its being announced
>>726245329ain't clicking that shit nigga
>>726244624is that a shotgun revolver? looks like something out of a final fantasy game
you are a fool if you click any catbox link in these threads
I clicked the link and it's dolphin anal porn featuring sonic
>>726245434it's a BFGhttps://youtu.be/Xe2rKjw8bww?si=qzLopO4oDro9Sjrb
>>726243843I mean it's the TGA in like 3 weeks. I'm hyped but I don't think I can keep the gas running that long.
For me the links auto open anyways
Deadlock is nowhere near completion and worked on at a glacial pace, because it's apparently developed alongside HLXConsidering the state of Deadlock, I doubt HLX is further into development with nothing having ever been leaked, despite new studios being bought by Valve, plenty of parasocial ecelebs aching for a leak, and a rotating posse of people going through their doors.Therefore, Deadlock will be announced for a release next year, and HLX won't be revealed until late 2026 at the earliest.
>>726245687Valve let streamers/Youtubers play Deadlock and that's why it leaked. Deadlock is also obviously an Icefrog project.They're doing no such thing for HL3 and it's being worked on by all the oldheads still at Valve.
>>726245841HL3 isn't being worked on
>>726245687Aaallright i'm fuckin tired going on diatribes that get repeated every thread, just look at the autistically compiled evidence of everything that leaked about HLX/HL3.https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVINqBTwM=/>>726245913you retard
HL3 will never come out.
>>726245947The Valve developers have been on record saying "HL: Alyx is their swansong for the series" and that despite the open-ended conclusion, they felt it was best to leave the series on a high.
>>726246147>me when I make shit up
>>726246178>What is Google
If the Combine had to decide whether or not to start incorporating humans into their invasion forces for other planets, do you think they'd think less of them because of how badly the Combine is losing in HL2, or impressed by how humans have actually been able to fend them off
>>726246147jejmao
>>726246274>aliens>impressed by anything humans dolmaoHL3 will never come out.
I LOVE BEING A TEENAGER IN 2006
>>726243843Use case for Half Life 3?
>>726246147Bullshit. Gordon gets handed his crowbar at the end. What does that imply retard?
>>726246274The Combine has no ego. It would probably be impressed if Humanity put up a better fight than other species. It remains to be seen though if the Resistance even WILL BE successful. Blowing up City 17 and shutting out the Overworld portal happened very quickly and only a fraction of the Earth-Occupation forces were even able to respond.
>>726245947Absolutely fucking based jesus
Why are people speculating that's it's going to be today anyway?
>>726246382Shit, that's it huh.That's literally all it is? A bunch of middle aged guys who wish they could be teenagers playing hl2 for the first time again? Makes sense. Makes some real sad sense.
>>726246415it implies gordon fans should get a crowbar and slam their skull with it
Surely this time Gaben will do something that's actually game development related
>>726246415It implies that it'll be left up to the player's imagination, because there's no more games

GUYS!?!?!?
>>726246520NARUTO AMV'SSUCKING EMO DICK
>>726246513Because of alyx being announced exactly 6 years ago and an old 4chan post that mentioned november 18th that got popular
>>726246513just tranny things
>>726246618HEY MAN CHECK IT OUT KITTY0607 MADE ANOTHER VIDEO AND IT'S EPIC SAUCE
>>726243843You guys didn't actually believe it was happening right? Like there is actual ZERO evidence of it, I thought you were just memeing
>>726246513from what I can tell, a random /v/ post made this summer, and the fact that steam had their autumn sale earlier than other years, so fucking nothingeveryone that wasn't a troll or a moron knew it wasn't going to be today, the consensus is between now 'til mid december IF it's not valve timed
The 18th didn't make sense to me, if Valve were to announce it anytime soon it would be the 19th.One week exactly after the hardware announcement, and on the series anniversary to boot.But, I'm not gonna worry about it. If it gets announced that would be cool, otherwise I will keep on
>>726246621 (me)Addendum: even if it doesn't come today, something will come, and we are close than ever.
>>726246621>>726246624>>726246704Knowing Valve it's going to be revealed at the most random of times anyway
>>726246460>only a fraction of the Earth-Occupation forces were even able to respond.Is that because they have shit logistics, or there just isn't that many occupation forces, because there isn't that many humans left?
>>726246672refer to >>726245947
>>726246665The only kitty I needed in 2006 was MissHannaMinx bro
>>726246765exactly, they'll randomly tweet "we're excited to show you a new trailer in 2 days" and that'll be it
Don't you guys think the whole series was fumbled when ep1 was made? Think of where we could've gone after the hl2 ending citadel explosion with the creativity those valve devs had at the time but instead the series has been safely retreading the same old ground. The half life three you'll get is not the half life three that should've been. Totally wasted potential.
>>726246605HOLY SHIEEEEEET
>>726246809>MissHannaMinx
>>726246837I'm beyond sick of seeing the Combine
Today's the day /v/?youtu.be/lr4MLD2Qfjo
>>726246837Where did you want the series to go, exactly? Gordon transported into the future again?
>>726246765It's because the Combine won and imposed unconditional surrender on earth 20 years prior. They brought a "real" military force for the 7-Hour War, which included extra dimensional missiles aimed at Earth's cities and military bases. After that, they moved to occupation and eventual extermination of humanity, incorporating local human auxiliaries (The Overwatch trans-human soldiers) along with a bit of Combine tech/armor/synths like the Striders and Hunters, as well as a contingent of Alien Advisors to oversee everything.
>>726246886correct. This isn't an opinion this is fact. Combine fucking suck. They're literally and figuratively soulless. the trajectory of hl1->hl2->ep1->ep2 has been a parabolic arc into the dirt and the combine share blame for that.
>>726246905https://youtu.be/bUo1PgKksgw
tell it to me straight doc.. will we make it?
STOP MAKING MULTIPLE HL3 GENERALS
>>726246976bigpinkcookie
If we make it, we can all sit back and laughBut I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
>>726243843>if not, keep holding for tomorrowKEK
>>726246997>uWuuu...>*chirp*
>>726247197they were cool but but combine made the rest of the game unsalvageable. The series is wrecked and everyone at valve knows it. They're smart, they knew it back in 2010.
>>726247296Do you guys ever get tired of complaining and pooping your diapers?
>>726245323are you dumb? gabe may have a trillion of these emails he may have filtered "half life 3" in his emails since 2010
>>726247059once >>726231169 hits bump limit we refer them to this thread
>>726247296Hunters are Combine thoughever.I will agree that they didn't add enough Combine synth enemies (like, actual aliens) though, if that's what you're trying to say
>>726247380why would I get tired? I do this so very rarely. Do you get tired of being wrong and stupid all the time?
>>726246968I understand, but their response to the rebellion and everything after seemed very small and localized, so I'm wondering whether it was because like you said, it happened too fast and because of their shit logistics that rely on a few functioning railines they couldn't mobilize more, or because there's like less that a dozen cities in existance left, a couple million humans left to manage, and a few tens of thousands of posthumans to manage them. The answer has a lot of implications for how feasable it would be to get rid of them entirely in the next game
>>726247197>Weird alien thing>Actually has a personalityHunters were great, but a little too little too late. There should have been several different types of modified organisms way back in base 2 rather than just being the same monotone soldiers that are entirely devoid of character
>>726247017we are
>valve confirmed to not be at the game awardsBros... it is officially over...
>>726247509Sigh....We're going to need a diaper change in aisle 9

>>726247631Yeah, I also remembered when they all took turns sucking his fat pink mast on his casting couch.
>>726247560Valve is too good for that shit
Realistically, what would happen to the board if it got announced?
>>726247763It would be unusable
>>7262477634chan would go down
>>726246809>>726246884I've dedicated so many to her I lost count
>>726247763Sticky and a few dozen threads
>>726247763If every single thread on the catalog is not a hl3 thread I'm going to be disappointed in the userbase of /v/
>>726247591>mad about being wrong and stupid>brings up his weird fetishcool. hl3 hopers continue to debase themselves more and more every day.
>>726247763
>>726246928Far, far away. Laidlaw was thinking about dyson spheres, i'm sure he could've come up with something as creative as 1984 in eastern Europe again if they'd let him run with it
>>726244473TIIIIIIIMMEE IS AWWWWNNNN YOUR SIDE! ! !
>>726247418Pretty sure no one thought of this before precisely because it's too obvious.
>>726247827This sounds realistic>>726247837This would be cool but I don't think it'd happen with current vee, specially since the Dall-e dogshit general would somehow still be there
>believed the hl3 hoax>believed the hl3 hoax in 2025
>>726243843When do the suicides start? It's fucking over my dudes. I told you nothing ever happens.
>>726247017No.
>>726247913It was an interesting concept, but it was just more cliffhanger bullshit that resolved absolutely nothing
>>726247763Every single anon who has ever made fun of manchildren who gush over star wars and toys would be exactly like them.
>>726247763Pretty much what happens anytime a special game announcement or release happens, a sticky and every other thread will be about it for a day.Something else will do it down the line if Half Life doesn't
>yfw you dared to hope
>Half Life 3 this year>George will drop The Winds of Winter this year >Snyderverse returns this year once WB sells to the Saudis
>>726243843I think they're going to wait until the actual last minute. Im starting to think that the gta delays are because of the gabe cube and hl3.
>>726247943Hence why I am going to be disappointed
>HL3 hype in the big '25 lulz
>>726246621Didn't they tweet the Alyx announcement early because of a leak? How did the leak happen again?
>>726243949We all know it's the 19th, aka Half Life's Anniversary. The 18th was merely a good marketing day, not much more than that.
>>726248286>How did the leak happen again?
>>726247519>The answer has a lot of implications for how feasable it would be to get rid of them entirely in the next gameThere are at least 16 other cities' worth of Combine forces. Preliminarily, I think Episode 3 would feature the Combine throwing almost ALL of their occupational force towards the Borealis.
unbelievably retarded>yeah steam machine coming out in march... also there's a steam machine launch exclusive too. gee i wonder why there's so much hype for this half life 3 game?grifting cocksucker
Literally no one cares about HL anymore.
>>726247296shittest take 2025
>>726248384Reminder that 99% of "insiders" are frauds
>>726248384see you next year sisters

I trust Tyler 2bh
>>726248051Honestly I would basedgape at least a little.
>he actually fell for it>againlmao!
>>726248623deadlock isn't ready for release by march and is also a valve game, RETARD
This was one of the only "reliable" sources people were going off of. It's looking grim. "Insiders" BTFO
Sink this fatass motherfucking yachtIm tired of the hopium shitHL3 is only possible after Gabe dies
>>726246274Didn't they beat all of humanity in 15min?They're losing in HL2 because of the Gordon. That's it. You're playing as humanity's top guy. And btw, I really like Alyx's redesign of the combines. It looks like a fatfuck in flastcreen, but in VR they look bulky and well defended. Honestly one of my favorite redesigns of HLA.
>>726248640nuh uh, this board is still great if you want to jerk off to Sanrio characters
>When I...fucked her...from Black MeesaWhat did G-string mean by this?

>>726247990I WILL HOLD ALL THE WAY TO GAME AWARDS IF NECESSARY
>>726246997>>726247296Ironically an utterly souless opinion. The Combine are the purest destillation of sci-fi kino. Take my verdicts, noncitizen
>>726248384welp it's over
HL3 gets announced when I get a gf
6 hoursDon't miss it
>>726248781yeah i have to imagine he had some dogshit "source" and instead of owning up to falsely feeding into the hype he'd rather be a dickhead and be cryptic about it. there is no such thing as a "steam machine exclusive" because no developer outside of valve would be making games for an operating system that isn't even close to being complete
>>726248842Valve is unironically too good for dorito pope's bullshit.
Can you hopium retards kill yourselves if HL3 isnt announced youre ruining my Blue Archive discussions with your mentally ill retardation

why are the mods allowing several "general"-style threads at the same time being spammed? I'm not even against the idea it just seems like something they'd hate
I hope you're ready to start despairing when tomorrow doesn't give us anything either
>>726249305>seems like something they'd hateSay that to FFXIV thread #34856378 or Dall-E thread #98745667
Is this the thread?
>>726249412Yeah exactly those things suck so I understand why they allow it
uhm excuse me chuds but your half life threads keep sliding my vantablack niggercoal topics about gacha games and twitter screencaps
Valve is going to announce either Ricochet 2, Day of Defeat 2, Artifact 2, Dota 3 or a new IP.
>>726248875>yo what if they re-programmed humans to be le bad?!?! woah!yeah maybe in 2006 that was some hot shit but we've since been beaten to death by the tropes that hl established (and stole). hl3 empirically cannot be good.
you all need to unsubscribe and unfollow the grifters and "leakers" if this doesn't pan out. Tyler's already moved on to the TF files.
>>726246976never eating trail mix again
>>726249303This.It has always been the 19th.Trust the plan.
>>726249404Theres also TGA remaining.Thats when, even with rationing, the hope supply will run out.

>>726246274>loses to one nerd with a crowbarYeah no, there's no way they'd want to assimilate humans after that. No wonder Breen was seething so much.
>>726249548>dod2 drops>it becomes the same cultural monolith as tf2>20 years later it's still going strong with a active community and endless official and fan created content>it's 2045 hl3 still isn't out but i have to read copeful threads about it on /v/ (which is still here, and I still browse)
>>726249496You're saying that to you it seems like that's something they'd hate, yet there's undeniable evidence suggesting the opposite.
>>726246905I had forgotten about this one entirely. Fuck, it's good.
>>726249714This shit, out of all the hope pics, made me lol out loud.
So what I'm understanding here is Valve is apparently feeding all kinds of different dates to catch who's leaking shit?Because everyone think HL3 is happening but no one knows what date.
>alyx was announced on a random day>gabecube was announced on a random day>
>hyped for uncslopyall niggas are 40 years old waiting for a game dat aint ever coming out. grow up
>>726249645Everything's been beaten to death and is a trope, faggot. All that's left is execution
>>726249928yep thats the consensusnatethehate is saying like everyone has different dates and shits getting mixed up
>>726250037I am not a.. nigga... take that back....
>>726249548>DoD2I'd actually be ok with that. I'd also be ok with Ricochet 2, mostly because it'd be really funny.
>>726250046>doesn't understand the eb and flow of fictional zeitgeistI knew you hopers were fucking retarded but to just out and say it like that is wild. You are functionally illiterate.
>>726249645>hl3 empirically cannot be good.HL1 has nothing to do with HL2 though. They could just pull a Gamer-Man Stasis again and start a new story.

>>726249928500-dimensional chess by GabeN.Trust the plan.
>>726249928I'm telling you the HLX leaks were purposely made by Valve to catch whoever is the weak link in their team.
>>726249305Why don't you become a janny and clean this shit up for free instead of whinging like a hall monitor
ive seen some compelling evidence they are working on hl3 but all the "leaks" about an announcement are from grifters who are wrong all the timenot getting my hopes up
https://x.com/valvesoftware/status/1242133182943653889https://x.com/valvesoftware/status/1242133182943653889https://x.com/valvesoftware/status/1242133182943653889
>>726250186Perhaps attempt an actual argument next time, faggot
>>726244307Valve tends to do things on Tuesdays. There happened to be a conspicuous gap in Steam's event schedule that started today. One that also overlaps with the Black Friday period. You'd think they'd want an event going at that time, right? So something had to be more important than Black Friday. With all the hints at Half Life in the hardware announcement video, it was reasonable to assume that there would be something Half Life related coming up soon, especially because they didn't announce any software to go with the Steam Machine or Frame. Historically, they've almost always packed something in. The Lab, Hand Lab, Desk Job, and Alyx were all packed in with Valve related hardware. It's unusual that there's nothing to go with either the Steam Machine or Steam Frame.
>>726249928would make sense, they did this for alyx iirc. if this is actually the case it would mean there is an announcement in the works, wouldn't make sense to lay a canary trap if there were more things to work on
>>726249728When you stop being a faggot never
>>726250515Alyx was leaked early its why they announced it with a random tweetI distinctly remember that time in /v/Someone shared a pastebin of the interview they had with geoff keighley
>>726249404We'll hold all the way to game awards, hopium is plenty.
>>726250313but I like these threads tho
>>726250445I argued that we're tired of all the shit that hl2 brings to the table and this much of a time skip would result in a product that looks hopelessly out of place, and not charmingly 'retro'. You missed the argument, complained mindlessly, circled back and tried to 'gotcha' while asking after something I sent directly to (You). Go ahead and spank out another post, you hopers languishing in such a way is enough for me to get something out of this whole debacle.In short, you're mad and I'm fucking with you because you make it easy. Are you 12?
>>726249305Words are cheap, be a janny then faggot
>>726249714>>726249885Same, recognized and heard it instantly, fucking kek
Do you have faith for tomorrow?
>>726250865I don't have a job, friends, or a girlfriend, and my family doesn't talk to me so yeah I guess so.

>>726250865It either happens tomorrow or it doesn't ever happen

>>726250865I will have faith till the 31st of DecemberIf it isn't announced by then, I doom.
>>726250923yeah multiple posts on a forum filled with gay friendless queers who send pornography to eachother wow what a hard source you got there.

Anybody got any updates from Tyler?
>>726251138yes, dipshit, i was actually pointing a finger at it but holy shit you retards are so dogshit stupid you needed someone to help you out even with that.>>726251170>lose argument>floaty nonsense and ad hominemi luxuriate in the knowledge that every hoper out there will be crestfallen permanently. It soothes and pleasures me to know this as a fact.

>>726248286Sauce?
>>726244624Its almost 3pm PST.
>>726250865Not really but these threads are fun. I do think there's a decent chance by the end of the year. I feel like the Shapiro new year tweet was sanctioned because they were in a good enough place to be able to at least announce the game in 2025, even if the polishing phase ends up taking longer. That being said, Alyx wasn't teased for months after the index announcement, so it doesn't mean it's over if we hit 2026 with no word.
>>726251917Dont leave me......
Who has the original "fell for it again award" steam badge?
I think the Episodes are good overall but they have too many moments where you're forced to sit down and listen to characters yapping. Also you're almost never truly alone in any of them, which is in my opinion one of the things that make the atmosphere of 1 and 2 so good.
>T-tomorrow for sure
>>726251292Why are leakers like this? Are they all born retarded?
Tomorrow makes sense though
Cuck Life gem thread. I’ll be laughing and remembering those threads when you get cucked by Valve again.
>>726251389leakers are just attention whores, so it's not really surprisinganyone smart enough with this kind of info would just keep their mouths shut, even journalists
>>726251389Their job is getting emails from people. It doesn't require very high IQ. Tyler McVicker has a down syndrome physiognomy, even.Still, some of these emails are true and that's how they get their fame.
>>726252021Did they ever explain what this was all about? I have it but to this day I have no idea why they made that
>>726252145surely someone out there has cataloged all the hope threads over the years. it's a joke that gets funnier the longer it goes.
>>726243843Minus 10 minutes.>be me>work at Valve>give out cryptic information to leakers just for memes>HL3 gets announced at a random date I gave>go to work tomorrow>contract terminatedwas it worth it bros?
>>726247763We all get sticky, the background is replaced with the Gman, and Votal Combat starts looping.
>>726248051star wars is fucking gay though
>multiple leakers know HL is gonna drop>not a single one can get the dates rightWhat is valve planning
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD CATBOXED FOR COPYRIGHT REASONS BUT HOLY SHIT ITS HAPPENINGhttps://files.catbox.moe/o67nxz.png

>>726248384>he said there would be a "steam machine exclusive"this guy is a retard
You guys are going to make fun of me, but I did a tarot reading and my reading gave me the timeframe of 3-4 hours.
>>726252310OUT OF THE WAY GORDON! I MUST SLURP UP THE TRAD WIFE'S URINE BEFORE IT ESCAPES INTO THE DRAIN.

10 more minutes until 6pm
>>726252309Purposely diffused wrong information to keep the reveal a surprise.
>>726252421Dumb fucking nigger
something happening tonight?
lol the janny got mad i told them to kill themselves. actually pathetic. remember they do it for free
>>726252309Canary
>>726252473Damn, Alyx is looking fiiiiiiine.
>>726252507I sharted my pants
>>726252108>It'll be exactly 28 years after the release of HL1.... Because it just HAS to be???No it doesn't tardoIt could be in June 2027 to line up with HL1's E3 announcement in 1997. It could be in 2028 for HL1's actual 30th anniversary. It could be in May 2026 for the announcement of HL2 in E3 2003. It could be Nov 16, 2027 for the 23rd anniversary of HL2's release. It could be none of these dates because Gabe Newell is relaxing on his yacht in between gaymer funded orgies
>>726252473real women are so fucking disgusting. post 2d waifus
>>726252184schizos were hallucinating another ARG, so Valve made a mini one on the steam sale as a badge.
>>726252497Why are you so mad? My readings have rarely been wrong before.
>>726252556i gotta go shart into the toilet now thanks for reminding me bro
>>726252526man I didn't get a warn, I should up my retard antagonizing game.
>>726252567gabe has nothing to do with the release at this point, he's retiredthough he'll probably show up to the launch party
>>726252309HLA was leaked a bit. They probably hired a fleet of indians to spam fake dates all around. Poisoning the well and all. I, however, know the true date: tomorrow.
>>726252645hot
Don't mind me, just posting the best track in the franchisehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s22XqGkuIFw
>>726252723you're a gay nig and you know it
>>726252632Seems like being a valve fan and hallucinating shit go hand in hand huh
what if Valve makes Half Life 3 a gabecube exclusive?
>>726252723you're based and you know it
>>726252487Giving out multiple dates is also useful to sniff out who’s dumb/traitorous enough to talk.
>>726252742>>726252767have sex
>>726252567>It'll be exactly 28 years after the release of HL1...So you're saying tomorrow is literally an anniversary date? Anon's right, that's a significance which means, if it does get announced around now, it makes sense to be then.>but that doesn't mean it HAS to beNo one said that.

This will never happen simply because I want this to happen and my life is a stream of constant misery and unhappiness
>post yfw nothing gets announced.
>>726252309>Even fucked with Henderson and Schreier, the supposed "tier 1" leakerBased. Looks like Valve finally knows how to play this stupid leaker game.
>>72625280928 years has nothing to do with 3. Besides it's already been deboonked

If this post ends in a 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9 tyhen HLX is not being announced tomorrow.
>>726252657just make fun of indians or anime. guaranteed a warning. REMINDER: jannies cannot ban and have to get a mod to do it for them.
>>726252934Soon. All I can say

>>726247296The combine and G Man are all powerful and mysterious antagonists with intentionally ambiguous goals and leadership, which I think is actually pretty cool. The epistle 3 leaked story that Laidlaw wrote (who genuinely was the only fucking person at valve that gave a fuck about the series and fans) was a fucking masterpiece. The big reveal with the Dyson sphere and the combine being so unfathomably large and powerful that their “ace up the sleeve” borealis weapon registered as nothing more than a minor disturbance, followed by the G Man whisking Alyx away to safety and acknowledging to the player that he just played them like a fiddle?? That would’ve been fucking beautiful to watch play out in game…now the story is a fucking wreck because of these fucking new generation retard writers using Le epic time travel to try and solve the glaring continuity issues. What really killed HL2 ep3 was left 4 dead…as it was repeatedly stated by Valve in the anniversary documentary and also the final hours documentary that development of l4d took precedence over ep3 and by the time l4d was finished it was already too late to return to the episodic model. I think HL3 (if it’s real) gameplay wise will be phenomenal but fans who played half life and its episodes will be sorely disappointed with the direction they take the story in an attempt to salvage their fuck up… No Laidlaw = shit story
>>726253046have you considered sucking off as many tiny brown indian penises as you can before you get too fat even for them?
is it out?
HALF-LIFE 3 JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE.
>>726252831Actually this raises a question. Unlike hl1 and hl2 while technically also avaiable for console were mainly aimed for pc. Half life 3 will most likely be aimed at PS5, meaning that it will have to be nerfed to appease ps5 babies as well... you know I'm starting to think maybe hl3 shouldn't come out after all
>>726253105CHUDDY CHUDDY CHUD! CHUDDY CHUDDY
>>726253152check valve twitter
>>726253147yes that thought crossed my mind
>>726253032then we KEEP HOLDING, hopium is plenty
>>726253152YWES YES IT IS ITS HERE
>>726253169>Half life 3 will most likely be aimed at PS5why would it? Valve is a PC company first
>>726245687Deadlock was openly pushed to a large audience because that's how Icefrog likes to make his games. Dota 1 was basically made with him constantly talking to high level players, before 'professional dota player' was even a thing.
>>726253141shit dude. thanks for writing all that out. I'm just here throwing shit around and having a good time but that's some vector for insight.
>>726252970Its basically a way to catch leakersCompanies spreads different info about a certain thing to different groups and based on the online leaks they get a smaller list of who the blabbermouths are
Soon

>>726253306its a maintenance day you dirty ass nniiggaaaa
>>726253152SoonHold on, you're going to want to wait a bit
>>726253169>let's make our own gaming console>and let's sell our biggest game on the competitors console!are u stupid?
>>726253306there is a maintenance at this time of the week, EVERY WEEK>Steam is down for routine maintenance every Tuesday.
>>726253264Doesn't Valve have a different policy like on how to ask whether projects are in development or something, I'm wondering how it could work, do they give different information on different shifts
So HL3 is 100% real and they will show it but they're giving fake dates to not give away when they're going to show it
Epistle 3 was grimdark bullshit and I'm glad Valve realized that and never made it into a game.
>>726253213>year 18 of waiting for half life 3>got false hope once again
>>726243843>3pm pstlollmao
AAAAAAAAAAAAA HALF LIFE 3 JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
>>726253230because its no longer 90s/early 2000s and a good portion of game sales are from consoles, also PS5 release (and xbox if anybody still cares) means valve would have to nerf certain aspects of the game like difficulty when aiming or graphics.>>726253365they are business first and foremost, they can sell both on PC and console to increase sales.
>Where Winds Meet banner is goneBros...
/v/tards think valve still makes games
>>726253441Steam just went down for maintenance, literally wait until the banner shows up on the reup
>>726253404Isn't that why it took so long for it to come out because they couldn't make something good enough to make into HL3?
>>726253392This basically, yes.
>>726253453yeah, because half life alyx is also on psvr
Double-checked with a quick call. Soon
>>726253490You're fucking retarded.
>>726253463NESSUN DORMA
>>726253487Deadlock is right there pajeet
Please come collect your award anon.Upon getting it please loudly proclaim:I FELL FOR IT AGAIN!
If it were to have happened today, if would've happened just now after Tuesday maintenance. Time to pack it up.

Alright, what other mod could I play while I wait?
>>726253998If it was almost finished, wouldn't they just be doing small fixes and commits?
>>726254018unlike consoles, you wouldn't need to buy gabecupe to play hl3, you can buy a cheaper prebuilt or make your own PC anyway. Not to mention the steam OS is based on linux which is mostly open source anyway. Making the game PC exclusive wouldn't necessarily increase sales of the gabecube more profitable than just letting consoles also have hl3.
>>726254208Vanilla HL then play vanilla HL2 as well as the episodes
>>726254185There's literally enough information to suggest it's a game and it's being developed, just because it won't be announced today doesn't mean that it won't be announced ever.tomorrow maybe
>>726254041zero, cause its getting announced today
>>726253998why are you people sure this is hlx and not some random game?the dev could even know and he could be trolling us.

do zoomers care about half life
tyler mcNIGGER lied to us again.

>>726253998KEEP HOLDING I SAY, HOLD THE LINE UNTIL TGA IF NECESSARY
>>726254463It was Mark Laidlaw's original vision for it, but he has long left Valve. That's why they retconned HL2 with HL:Alyx.
>>726254347I mean, I'll be here when eventually the logo gets reveal tomorrow and it's going to look amazing
>>726254480The better question is: Do teenagers care about Half-Life. Since there are zoomers who are now 28 years old.
>>726254378I still have to go to workNothing ever happens
welp, tyrone lied to you againwhat made you choose to listen to a compulsive liar, /v/?
>>726254350Tyler was saying that it wasn't coming out today pajeet, maybe you should inform yourself.

>>726254480>>726254513It actually feels like more zoomers care about HL at this point that uncs, just check out any HL community, it's full autistic teens or 20 something year olds just based on how they type and the memes they post

>>726254168Citadel has been out since 2021
>>726246609is this real?
>>726255198Yes, so again, the better question is: Do teenagers care about HL2?Because ultimately is the bread and butter of whom to cater to. Just like how it was when I was a teen when HL2 came out.
>>726254684HOLD THE LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!https://youtu.be/Ww5yYZXgZZA

>>726252902>the anniversary of half-life 1's release has nothing to do with half-life>it's been deboonkedJust say that.
It's sad how Half-Life fans are grasping onto straws like the Mike Shapiro tweet when it was confirmed it was just him shilling his music lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tYRar01hCM
>>726255198This. If you've ever met an autistic white guy, regardless of age, chances are he loves Half-Life and especially TF2.
>>726255237But why isn't there an announcement of an announcement the day prior like with HLA?
Now seems appropriate to post this gem of a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpCv12q6fFI&
>>726255283>Because ultimately is the bread and butter of whom to cater tonah, 20-30 year olds are still just as interested in video games except unlike teenagers they have money
