Post legitimate leaks of Half-Life 3Any significant leaks might be rewarded with $1k in MoneroPreferably Screenshots/Videos bur other things welcome too
it's real bro trust me
>>719486885it's real bro, take a look at this gordon
>>719487132Its crazy that no one has leaked anything yet, not even 1 picture? Come on fags give us something
>>719486885>$1k in MoneroAnon the fucking cleaning lady at valve is probably making 10k a month
>>719486885>>719487132>>719487205>>719487327>>719487329Wasn't there already a HL3 but it was VR only or some shit
https://store.steampowered.com/app/546560/HalfLife_Alyx/found it, released 5 years agothe fuck this board is sleepign
>>719486885the game has been "leaking" for the last 2 decades.let it go op, its not coming
>>719486885You want a leak? Here’s one. HL3 is never coming out. End of story.
>>719487401Alyx yes, but people don't wanna call it half life 3 because you don't play as Morgan Freeman
>>719486885the ending of Alyx.
Here’s a screen of Dog
>>719486885
>>719487440This. Zoomers are having their turn of false hope and disappointment that Millennials went through over 10 years ago. Give it up little bros, Half Life 3 is never happening.
>>719487401That's Half-Life: Alyx. Pretty neat VR tech demo. The mods are also neat.
>>719487329Sorry, i'm not fucking rich like you.>>719487458And why's that? Valve has been talking a lot about Half-Life after Alyx>>719487486Not HL3.>>719487492HLA model?
>>719487540Let them have the cope era before snuffing it out
>>719487609The point is no one at valve is going to flip for 1k
>Half Life 2>Portal 2>Team Forstress 2>Dota 2>Source Engine 2
>>719487691Technically Counter-Strike 2 should be named 3 since it came after CS and CS:GO; Team Fortress 2 shoud be called 3 since there was Quake TF and TFC; and Half-Life: Alyx should be HL3 since there was HL and HL2. Valve are just pricks about naming their products dumbass names.
>>719487691>tfw Orange Box 2 will come out with Half-Life 3, Portal 3, Team Fortress 3, Counter-Strike 3 and Dota 3 on the new Source 3 engine
>>719488126oh and Left 4 Dead 3 too
>>719486885The best you'll get is the leaked strings from Source 2 updates. Valve certainly doesn't want another repeat of the HL2 situation.
>>719487609If you went to Valve with the leaks they would probably give you way more than $1k easily so that they could close their security vulnerability or whatever. Don’t forget that Gabe doxxed the German guy (a child) who posted HL2 leaks 20 years ago and tricked him into a fake job offer which ended up being police arresting the German guy at the airport in the US then the German government intervened going Nazi mode to bring their citizen home.
>>719488183Valve releasin' a title that has the numbah 3 in it? Heh... my ass!
Fuck off Tyler McWigger get your material for your youtube vids from somewhere else
>>719488126>Dota 3dear god please no
>>719488429
Here’s a leak for you: It’s the work of known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>719488859Why did Valve shit out Shartifact instead of another Half-LIfe, Team Fortress, or Portal game? They know their fans want that, but instead they released A FUCKING CARD BATTLE GAME.
Deadlock 2 when?
>>719489050>why did they make something new instead of sequels
here
>>719489140NOBODY ASKED FOR A CARD BATTLE GAME. PEOPLE WANTED ANOTHER HL, PORTAL, OR TF GAME. ARE YOU DENSE?
If you tell me Half-Life, my friend it is time to fly you out to Amsterdam for sex with men
>>719490482Nobody asked for Half-Life before it came out either.
>>719486885It's going to launch with the Steam Machine 2 with the Ibex controller, Steam Index 2 with its Roy controllers and its Steambox, and will be optimized for Steam Deck 2.
no one cares a out this anymore boomer. the next big thing is nicki minaj fortnite skin
>>719489024gabe doesn't like "3" jokes because his weight starts with it
>>719487552>tech demo???It's a full fledged game
didn't they showcase a prototype of what an episode 3 could be in the 20th anniversary? I remember them saying fluid body simulations being the gimmick
>>719487609Dog aint in Alyx>>719489831I never thought graphics would get this good as a kid
>>719491959Half-Life 2 was a tech demo for the Source engine and Half-Life: Alyx was a tech demo for the Source 2 engine.
>>719487401>ayo blud wunnit day sum shit or summin already idk senpai help me outretard
>>719492038>Dog aint in Alyxit's literally in the ending scene where EP2 was retconned
>>719492038When was it leaked then? Pre-Alyx? I don't think it's a current HL3 asset.
here's half life 2 episode 3 but don't tell anyone okay
>>719492294YOOOOOOOOO
>>719487691>force Icefraud at gunpoint to make Deadlock because Gayben told him he can't make something called DotA 3
Has anyone tried flying a drone to peek through their windows at Valve HQ? Would the feds rape you for this ? What's the legality of it? Maybe you could take a photo of a HL3 build
>>719492543I did it and they had an Advisor rape my mind
>>719492094It was a demo for VR specifically. Source 2 is not revolutionary as Source 1 was, only the VR gameplay aspect is.
>>719492543I used to work in the same building as valve back in 2015. One day I went to their front desk and asked if I could have a tour and they said yes.I didn't see anything Half Life related but they were pretty open about showing the whole office. Seemed like such a cool place to work and made my regular corpo job feel depressing by comparison. Dumping pics
>>719493961
>>719493961exploring the lobby in steamvr home was kinda neat
>>719493987
>>719494039

>>719489646Based switch 2 version
>>719486885>reward of 1KLMFAO. You'll make 100x that by posting a video on jootoob
hl3 ends with freeman time travelling to hl1 and making sure the combine never discover humanity figured out teleportationThe combine cannot be defeated, humanities sole hope is never ever being discovered by them
>>719486885You already got Epistle 3, that's the closest you're ever gettingGive up
>>719493961That's cool, Anon, I wonder if they still offer these tours today. Probably not, right? >>719494313Yeah good luck monetizing a leak that will get you sued/DMCA'd instantly, retard
>>719494490according to their site they stopped doing it during covid and haven't resumed it yet. probably a huge hassle doing it and they're in a different office now
>>719494490You wouldn't put any of the contents of the leak in the video, sir. It will be a good video to you and to myself and others
>>719494646Why the fuck would anyone watch it then, unless you are a reputable journalist/leaker no one will care
>>719495491It's all about presentation. We're talking about YouTube here, don't mistake the audience for those with discernment
>>719495625If you have no reputation and no sources to verify your claims, everyone will just dismiss you as another wannabe theorist looking for easy views. And you wouldn't be the first or the last one.
Half-Life 3 will have firearms in it.
>>719497059Anything new besides the OG arsenal?
>>719497139One of the guns will be similar to an old one. Another gun will be fairly different and go BLAP BLAP POW!
>>719496647You would anonymously leak the leak and then leak piss all over the tubes with your leaky YidTube leak vid.
>>719497254I'm gonna leak all over you
>>719486885Do you guys think they'll still tie in portal and that big ship in 3? Or will they just ditch the whole idea. It was so cool hearing glados indirectly mention the combine. And how wheatley was supposed to mention gman looking for chell, but they didn't include that because it was a bit much, which I agree with
It will launch with the 'eck 2 in 2028.
>>719497391borealis is the priority goal at the end of episode 2 and it has a legendary status within the lore, i don't see how they could not bring it up in HL3
I'm not really excited for HL3 story after Alyx retcon.I'm sure it'll be a good, cool game. I just have no idea why they had to use fucking time travel and completely flip the ending.
>>719497751Yeah I really really hope they stick with it. Also damn I need to get VR at some point and play alyx.
>>719486885valve are not going to make a single player game if they cant work in some sort of gambling
>>719494039>>719494138sick photos btw, thx for sharing
>>719498079Then why are they making it? Most of the reputable journalists think its happening
>>719498079Alyx wasn't that long ago.
>>719488047Shouldn't it be Counter-Strike 9, Half Life 11, and Team FOURTress?
>>719487430>>719487401dumb nigger
>>719497743If the Fremont is only a test, what does that mean for the home console, is that even coming in late 2027 around the same time as the PS6 and next Xbox or, is Valve mainly just focused on the Steam Deck 2, Half-Life 3, Deckard and Roy, and Ibex?
>>719488303I don't believe you
>>719499714It's real, I think it's even in Rising the Bar. To be fair, the leak was massively damaging to Valve.
So where is it ?
>>719501925releases with hl3 and will show ep3/hl3 prototypes

>>719504118Or at the game awards in december, Alyx was supposed to have a trailer/gameplay at the game awardsGeoff knows Gabe since 1997 and would really like to have HL3 at the game awards
>>719501925They forgot about it, just like they forgot to finish adding HL2DM to base HL2
>>719505125Maybe somethink like: trailer in november, TGA trailer #2/gameplay, 2026 release
>>719492094>>719493837No, you dumb fucking nignogs, neither of those games was a ''tech demo''.
>>719488047>Technically Counter-Strike 2 should be named 3 since it came after CS and CS:GONo love for CS:S I see....
Where the fuck is that updated HL2 book?

>>719487430Retarded zoomer
>>719486885It won't happen, quite simply because people want it.
>>719486885Look at Gabe Follower and Valve News Network youtube channels. You will get pretty interesting updates on any leaks there.To summarize it for you:- HL3 is in the final stages of its development- Playable from start to finish- Already being playtested by family and friends of Valve employees- Gabe Follower already knows how the story ends- Probably getting revealed later this year or next year.- Valve put a lot of effort into it.I been following the situation since 2009. I predicted HL Alyx correctly. I predict HL3 coming out within 1.5 years. Trust. Not cope.
>>719509374Is it something that can be played on a desktop/laptop, set-top PC under the TV, PC handheld, and enhanced VR? Is it a PC/Steam exclusive?
to summarize it for you- valve has been ass for decades- everything theyve released since hl2 has sucked- hl2 wasnt even that good- their main focus is children's gambling and buying ip to ruin them
just leaked
>>719492094Dota 2 was on source 2 for five years before HL alyx was even released.
>>719509374>Look at (retarded zigger draft dodger) and (tranny mcnigger)*Yawn*
Left 4 Dead and Portal are the only Valve IPs deserving of development resources.
>>719511623Reminder that Left 4 Dead 2 had a feature complete source 2 port that didn't release because the left 4 dead community is radioactive garbage
Just look WHEN everyone else will NOT release games this year and which big ones were delayed for it. It's already known in the industry, at least for some people.Also, there will hardware released with it, and not vr one.
>>719510524"Gabe follower" said standard, non-vr game.But I think it's gonna be a vr, as a selling point for "deckard" vr headset.
One... two.... what comes after two?
>>719511876Why's that? I play a lot but never really engage with the community
>>7195120892.01
Can one play Alyx without VR?
>>719512112tl;dr most sweatiest retards about casual zomble game.There's been concurrent issues with them ddosing official servers, attacking user servers, I heard a rumor that over on telegram there's bounties for figuring out how to fuck with LAN games.Pretty amusingly it's probably a good clue that most of the>TF2 has only 5k playersSince it serves as a very strong example of what a game with fags that autistic actually looks like.
>>719512241yeah?
>>7195120892... episode 1?
>>719506043Is ground zeroes considered a tech demo?in my mind whenever someone says tech demo I always assume like a slice of life type “game”
>>719487691Why is Valve so afraid of the number 3? Did Gabe went to a fortune Teller and she said the number 3 would mean the beginning of the end for Valve?
>>719512383Hey thanks for removing the "Rumors are total bullshit" part from my post.Not an important detail or anything.
>>719487540the other day, i saw a kid make a post that was almost word-for-word the same cope of an oncoming HL3 that I saw ten years ago. some things never change.
>>719511997AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to play this on a Steam Deck 2 fully optimized. Question, is the development team small for Half-Life 3 over at Valve?
>>719493961>>719493987>>719493987>>719494039>>719494138Based. The fact they actually have a red valve in the office is pretty funny.
>>719489050around the time Alyx released, one of the senior devs claimed that everyone at Valve had no idea people wanted stuff from them that wasn't Dota-related.
>>719509374can i trust and cope? i want to believe but i've been hurt so many times before.
>>719512241https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou-z_FcpmbM
>>719511997Strings for a voxel based engine inside Source 2 leaked 2 or 3 times. I think there is a chance Project ARTI is their VR title.(ARTI was originally a flat screen game, then a VR game before being shelved)
>>719512732New projects start off small, then scale up as they build it for release.Final Hours of Half Life Alyx shows this.The "lead" from Portal 2 also talked about this on the Kiwi Talkz podcast
>>719512990trust that HLX will be announced soon.Do not trust that is HL3 until they drop the trailer.The fact that the project survived multiple Valve vacations means we're getting something.
in 2015 zoomers were still i diapers
>>719514495>2015Junior year of HS as an early zoomer.You're talking about the next gen thats gonna start shitting up this site (as is tradition)gen alphas
Rumor: Half-Life 3 is a video game.
>>719514328It's HL3. Valve uses X as 3.Before Left 4 Dead 3 was cancelled it was labeled L4DX in the engine files.
>>719516126How/Why do you think of these things, honest to god, man?
>>719514328>yfw it's multiplayer slop>yfw it even has some meme shit like cards or a battle royale mode in it
>>719516126Worth the weight.
I genuinely think the time for HL3 has passed, they didn't strike while the iron was hot and now any sort of continuation will feel half-heartedI feel like that's why they made Alyx a prequel for the most part
>>719516126>>719516203good morning saaaars
>>719494138where is this art of alyx from?
>>719517168Why am I a jeet?
>>719517328I searched russian pc games magazine and found ithttps://www.retromags.com/gallery/image/15903-pc-games-31-july-2006/?context=new
>>719518178Not him, but thanks nigga
>>719518178looks like fan art of alyx that the mag repurposed
>>719519158based on some of the other covers You can see in the link, it seems like the mag had their own artist do the covers. Pretty good art.
>>719497895Time travel is going to be a thing in HL3/Ep3 regardless. Besides a form of time travelling has been hinted at from the beginning with the stasis thing. At least Valve won't do the hackneyed way of time travelling to Black Mesa again based on HLA dev tidbits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tYRar01hCMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itPQW-99YTwWhat is the connection bros? HLX and 197 ? Will we go to the past and see what happened in Black Mesa before HL1? White Sands?
>>719486885>moneroSo basically nothing.
>>719509374The strings relating to material properties, interactions and vehicle dynamics seem really cool. They're really exploring what Source 2 is capable of with the game.
Unrelated but i remember seeing a theory about Dog being a agent for combine 15 years ago
>>719519668197cm tall and 11 inches and impregnating Alyx as per her dad's request.t. Gordon
>>719498241>reputable journalistsLmao
>>719519668More schizotheory: Half Life 2: train station, trains, eastern EUCS2 Train: train station, trains, eastern EU, Pop dog was reworked and renamed Long Dog (Mike Shapiros song)AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
>>719501925I genuinely think the book will contain some features present in the next game, considering it'll have Episode 3 section in it. That's why they're holding off the release until the right time to build hype for the next game's announcement in November or TGA or something.
>>719519668>Barney and G-Man voice actor's music sounds like something inbetween what these characters would listen to>Marc Laidlaw's music is schizo shitkino
OH N-
>>719519668So this is what Hylic's soundtrack would have been like if it was made by Tally Hall.
>>719519668>>719522954I knew Marc made music but I never tried listening to it, but I fuck with it. I remember when Mike started releasing songs he used a Half-Life related thing to tease them and people thought it was a big HL3 reference.
>>719487691>not mentioning fucking half life 2: episode 2
>>719519804Anon what's heavier, 1kg of iron or 1kg of feathers?
>>719486885https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVINqBTwM=/
>>719523625Speaking of Laidlaw, I know Marc's retired and he said how he's not in it for Half-Life anymore, but it feels like the guy still cares. The dude might as well come back for one last score.
>>719523998I don't remember if he said so or not but I feel like I remember him saying that he'd do it if asked, but he left Valve because he thought that he was holding too many other people's ideas back and wouldn't wanna do that. If they asked him to come back for Alyx, he either couldn't or didn't want to since he isn't a writer on that.
>>719487540>Gabe and the rest of the dev team are about to bite the dust>Deadlock happening>Alyx happenedLook man it's either this or pretending that TF2 is gonna be not shit anymore, and I have reason to suspect HL3 IS happening... I hope, anyways :(
>>719507568Delusional steamie
>>719524101HL3 without Laidlaw wouldn't feel right.
>>719524371Agreed but I also get his reasoning. From how he described it in an interview I'm reading it was basically him realizing that people wanted to do more with the series, but he felt like it wasn't right in a "I wrote it, I know what's best" way rather than "this doesn't fit Half-Life" way. He should come back, but he probably worries that he'd just hold it up or something despite caring.
Did people forget about the VA that leaked "Project White Sands" ? She probably worked for Valve 3 or 4 years ago https://web.archive.org/web/20240804192456/https://www.natashachandel.com/resume/
>>719524761Turns out it was for Deadlock. However after several developments recently with the back-to-back anniversary events building up toward something and leaked code strings hinting at HLX, the White Sand rumor being debunked ain't exactly matter at this point.
>>719523874Kinda crazy how people managed to gather so much info based off some code strings. As much I like the idea of thermodynamic simulation with expanded vehicle handling and AI, I feel like HL3 is still missing the one gameplay idea that really tied things together.
>>719520269height in cm but then dick in inches? I don't think so. your dick is 11cm, Gordon. and you're mute so don't talk back.
>>719512089Portal Ost Volume 3?
>>719524959Deadlock is Project 8
>>719524504That's fine but they can try new blood in new IPs like Deadlock. Half-Life already has a tone and feel, turning it into something else is suicide.
HLA’s ending changed how episode 2 ended. Alyx got send back in time to spend decades making the optimum future for Eli to survive and for Gordon to have what he needs to actually succeed once he returns. Due to paradox reasons Alyx just randomly disappears and will reappear as a 60 year old woman when they find her again along with a bunch of gear for Gordon
Is Half-Life 3 and Half-Life X one and the same?
>>719527613Based on how they named their cancelled Left 4 Dead 3 development L4DX as its codename years ago, HLX should be HL3.
>>719511997I wonder what kind of gimmick they're going for to make Deckard's version of HL3 more enticing for players.
>>719527962HLX isn’t an old project like L4DX either, it started showing up randomly in new Deadlock updates where L4DX has been there since the first public source 2 games/updates released by valve
They would not have added this text in HL Alyx if they weren't making another game (however it might not be named HL 3)
>>719528184Think this guy may be on to something considering G-Man’s rant about someone else they hired not making progress >>719526045
>>719528184I have no idea what they're going for with Alyx in HL3. Though I guess it's better than the Epistle 3 draft where she becomes an edgelord.
>>719528054L4DX? I thought Hot Dog was the only L4D3 codename
>>719528906Hot Dog was the codename for the second attempt at L4D3 development I recall.
What’s the point of Monero anyway?
>>719486885saying this without proof is funnyalso how does monero even work if it's anonymous, doesn't it need to compare to a chain in order to know you have money and the other person gets it???
full sdk when?
>>719532315Probably at HL3's release. They're adding a lot of stuff into the engine recently it's probably unrecognizable from the version of Source 2 in HLA at this point hence no SDK yet.
>>719512807Then that lead Dev is a fucking idiot and Valve's flat structure has already been corrupted by retardation.
>>719535024It happens from time to time. Look how long it took Nintendo to start getting their shit together with video game development after mountains of complaints. This is a new start for Valve.
>>719535024Dota was Gabe's pet IP at the time, he was obsessed with it. It's probably him wanting more Dota and the devs had to comply.
I want an Alyx gf
>>719535090>>719535230Yeah very true, I'm forever pissed off about the mouth breathing burger fuckwit Sony gave the America office to who said "we haven't heard of anyone wanting additional storage on PS5", so when corporate types appear completely out of touch with their demographic, whether being truthful or not I get pretty riled up. That being said, Valve is definitely in the festering spaghetti factory phase of their being a company playthrough. They need to trim some fat (pun intended get a fuckin surgery or something Gabe, it's cheaper than yaughts) and pump out some actual products. I see threads about deadlock and it just looks like Marvel Rivals but less money thrown at it
>>719486885It doesn't matter.Writers not involved anymore, left Valve a long time ago after it became obvious they only cared about Steam and way to monetize things for Steam.Anything new would not feel the same.
>>719535345Source 2 was finished more or less, so they have an actual means to make games finally. The thing is making games these days took a crazy amount of time and Valve ain't exactly an exception with the industry's norm. I'm just hoping that HLX/HL3 isn't their only single player project in mind, kinda tired of them constantly making multiplayer/live service stuff at this point.
It was possible to create Ep3 or HL3 back in 10s.It's just that someone has moved on.
>>719532485>They're adding a lot of stuff into the engine recentlybased on what information exactly
>>719535534Would be cool to get actual tools, the most we have is cs2 and while it gives a lot of inside it's not much, it could very easily compete with UE or unity if they lock in
>>719535336Man, I miss the times before Shad lost his fucking mind.
>>719488859Alright, it was amusing for quite a while, but it's gotten old now. No one really cares and the original schizo stopped long ago. It's over man.
>>719535636In more concrete evidence so far, based on updates in other Source 2 games, they are finally adding water, which was not present in HLA and the AnimGraph 2 skeletal animation system. There are also leaks with a lot of features like vehicle simulation and overhauled gore system, among other things, but it remains to be seen.
>>719536003Aren't there liquids in Alyx? In bottles?
>>719536172Vodka level was insane yeah.
>>719536003yeah i'm thinking November 19>>719536172wasn't that just a shader effect?
HL3's release will unironically mark the beginning of armageddon
Was architecture design for HLA done by the same man that did HL2 (Antonov or what was his name) or did he die before he got to work on it?:(>Breen dead>Eli dead>OG Alyx isn't inWho else has been lost?
>>719537312Antonov moved on from Valve since HL2 base game even. Dude mostly worked with Arkane after that (Dishonored) then he decided to design luxury watches before his death.
>>719537453Damn.So that's why Dishonored aesthetics look so familiar.
>>719535534Man, I hope Half-Life 3 starts a new era of games from Valve, would be sick. Them being exclusive to Steam would also shake up the market and bring back PC exclusives.>>719536721The world isn't ready for Half-Life 3.
>>719524371Laidlaw is a shitty writer.He writes shitty books and Episodes were the worst things happening to HL>we closed the portal in citadel>uhh achually you dont, its superportal now>we closed the superportal>uhh achually there are borealis thig we just made up to justify ep3 and combine can use it to create new portalAnd then they realized it will be another lap of the same bullshit and cancelled ep3
Does valve only make half life games when there's new advances in tech?
>>719537857>>we closed the portal in citadel>>uhh achually you dont, its superportal nowPerfectly logical, Combine respond to a threat. Sheer energy of the reactor already lits up the place like a christmas tree, they just make the same portals comparable to the 7 hour war.>>we closed the superportal>>uhh achually there are borealis thig we just made up to justify ep3 and combine can use it to create new portalBorealis was a thing in the works before the episodes, as were any portal and timeline things (Prospero).
>>719537872Yes, it's the tech demo game.
>>719537993So hl3 isn't going to be a thing until there's something new right? Cuz 2 was all about physics, and alyx has VR.
>>719538016Yeah, it's for the Steam Machine 2, Steam Deck 2, and playable on the Steam Index 2
Announced alongside the release of the new edition of raising the bar in November. Gameplay at TGA. Release will be in either february or march next year.What will the game be like?Look at this visual board:>>719523874It will not be VR like some of you dumb niggers have said.
>>719537986>they just make the same portals comparable to the 7 hour war.They can make them at any point>Borealis was a thing in the works before the episodesBut not in actual story
>>719530252Dumb crypto retards pretend it's secure and anonymous by laundering all transactions by default through hundreds of wallets despite that not at all being how cryptocurrencies work, or more specifically how they don't.
>>719538375Only at relay stations, and not the massive portals that are stable without support machinery, for big reinforcements. These require more power.There simply was no point for the Combine to make such portals, whereas invasion to the Earth was an inside job.Portals used for resource evacuation were likely not easily repurposable, while the entire stunt between 2 and ep2 takes only a few days.>But not in actual storyIt is not obligated to be there beyond mention in ep1, because reality doesn't work on playwriting rules.All that happens in HL is a tiny slice of cosmic war. Only some things are known, the rest can only be seen or intuited.
gman is an anunnaki, hence the briefcase
>>719486885All the 'leaks' saying we're testing friends and family shit are wrong, also any of them pointing to us doing importing of certain features etc saying 'that shit only happens at the end of dev' are wrong because we have other shit in house that can use all that type of shit considering everything is on the same source2 branch.Real HL3 leak : They take all the water.Write it in your conspiracy theory book and circle it and come back in like 3 years or whatever.
>>719538206I think there will be another Half-Life event this November with some more updates to the existing games and the release date announcement of the Raising the Bar reprint, but the HL3 announcement will be at TGA instead for maximum marketing impact.
>>719538206shut up you retard lmao it's still way out
>>719512807Lmfao no way someone actually said thatThese retards really just look at r/Dota2 and go "huh, I guess this is what people want"
>>719487540>ZOOMER ZOOMER MILLENIAL MILLENIAL"Zoomers were the primary audience for all the HL3 LEAKED?!?!?" videos back in late 2000's you genwarring faggot. Most of them were already sentient by the time episode 2 released and were excited for Ep3/HL3.>>719487691Stop noticing Tiggy, or you will be taken by the monolith again.
>>719528894>G-Man changed Alyx into The Librarian based on Valve's Prospero conceptIt'll come full circle after 30 years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjWJ8NqYJCYA good watch at what we're getting
>>719539854>worthless eceleb that doesn't share anything new, just parrots what dataminers saidfuck you faggot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmiOntFhgHQMore on Half-Life 3
>>719540430It's so, people get a break down of what's going to be in Half-Life 3 and how's it going.
>there a non zero chance we'll make first contact before HL3 comes out.
Axon Pariah when??
>>719540780Based on Breadman's release pattern I'd reckon it'll be next year.
Half-Life 3 is going to show many of these retarded devs how to optimize for the Steam Deck 2, I can't wait.
>>719486885why dont people understand how valve engines (source) and naming of the games work? When they made engine 2, then games got to be 2 and not so long ago dota and cs went to second engine. Half life 3, cs 3 etc will come when there is third version of the engine. Simple as that.
>>719540931Steam Deck 2 is gonna be released in 2028 or later per leaks. HL3 is 5+ years into development right now and at end stages, so it might actually be playable on the first Steam Deck.
Hold up boys, we still have to survive 1 or 2 asteroids first!
>>719541117Cool
>>719492094>any time a game has any technical innovation, it's a tech demoI wonder what you fags normally play to get this idea
Does anyone know how Valve chooses playtesters? Somehow they manage to pick the biggest retards on the planet. Maybe it's on purpose to foolproof the game, but then how do they seek out these individuals?
>>719486885>post legitimate leaks of a game that doesn't existGreat thread
>>719541584True, it's a 10 hour long game with a full fledged story, HOW IS IT A TECH DEMO??? Fucking retards
>>719541589Aside from family and friends, they literally go up to the streets outside of their office and ask randos passing by if they want the gig. Funnily enough I suspect the hobo test participant joke in Portal 2 was Valve devs making fun of that.
i miss golden era of source engine so much, i hope that hl3 brings the new era of modding back with source 2
>>719543642People bothered to mod for HLA despite the limitations; the flatscreen Source 2 SDK would fare much better. Assuming Valve would finally release the damn SDK while the iron is hot that is.
>>719541117 If it’s really that far along, Valve might be targeting HL3 as a swan song for the current Deck to boost late-gen sales before Deck 2 drops. Would be genius honestly-showcase mature Source 2 performance and then reel us back in with full Deck 2 optimization later. Just hope they don’t pull another Artifact-tier fumble trying to overplay their hand.
>>719487691>>719488126We've just been missing Artifact 2 before they run out of franchises and start doing 3s.
>>719543982You forgot the dreaded Ricochet 2
>>719543881If HL3 is shit then they're gonna cancel it, therefore a bad HL3 can not exist, I'm not worried.Definitely will be a PC exclusive. Console players who don't own a PC could buy a cheap Steam Deck to play HL3, and it brings them into the Steam ecosystem.
>>719489646That's just HL2 on SteamDeck
>>719545353>If HL3 is shit then they're gonna cancel itCan they cancel it this far into development?
>>719543881>>719545353Valve is not afraid to drop projects if the devs lose confidence in them, but I would call this a weakness and not a strength. This is ultimately better than roping your devs into a project they hate. Though Valve's recent output, or lack thereof, speaks for itself.
>>719486885REDDIT FUCKING SPACING
>>719486885niggerlmao
>>719547728The project has snowballed to such an extent this time I kinda doubt they'll cancel it again now. Valve's steps in development, at least for Half-Life games, went as follows:>Vague ideas formed among devs >After few discussions, rallying among other devs and game jams prototyping, the idea is solidified>Tech wishlist and system planning (gameplay features, graphics, systems)>Cabals are formed around specific areas of the game >Dev cabals development on gameplay ideas and designs (scenarios, story beats, scripted sequences)>Playtest from individual dev to cabals to full game dev team to Valve-wide testing to family and friends >Polishing stage (story flow, pacing)>More playtests>Final polishing stage >ReleaseBased on the supposed rumor they've already gone past the family and friends playtesting stage. The previous version of HL3 development didn't get that far.
>>719523874>valve hired redfall, concord and tlou2 devs to make hl3/source2Not feeling good bros...
>>719489831why does the ui have a big logo of the game
>>719550262All of those games are good, what's problem?
>>719497895>why they had to use fucking time travelthe ending scene was meant to be a "hey audience, epistle 3 is now not canon" in the most blatant way possible
>>719550262>TLoU2Eh, the guy worked on the melee combat which is actually okay.>ConcordAt least the guy is just a concept artist and Valve has its own resident artists already (DMC3 guy) to offset that.>RedfallKinda worried about that, Redfall ain't exactly that good in level design, especially for Arkane's standard.
this entire fucking thread has nothing but cavemen in it. if you want actual nuanced information on shit like this join the tmv discord or keep up with xitter gabefollower and tmv slop. tyler talks about shit he shouldnt talk about on his twitch regularly, that man has oracle level awareness of the processes at valve corporation. HEIL MCVICKER
>>719550079>Based on the supposed rumor they've already gone past the family and friends playtesting stage.sauce?
>>719551406Gabe Follower but take it with a grain of salt.
>>719486885I have a friend who interned at valveHe saw some devs working on HL3 and apparently they're making the Krystal mod canonHowever due to the tight lockdown they have over anything hl3 related he can't even get so much as a picture
>>719550262The only concerning hire is the Concord dev.>tlou2Despite the fact that the story is downright braindead, the game is a technical marvel and the devs got it to run on PS4 units from 2014 @1080p60FPS.>redfallThat game was commissioned by bethesda because they wanted Arkane Austin to do a co-op game with no experience in that genre. They were begging Bethesda (and later Microsoft) to cancel it throughout its development.>>719550925I hope he didn't work on any of the character designs lmao.
just 2 more weeks guise
