>Valve Index 2 trademarked under "Steam Frame">When Valve trademarked the Steam Deck, the very next day had them formally announce itMEANING TOMORROW VALVE UNVEILS THE STEAM FRAME AND HL3 TO THE WORLD
would anyone even care at this point
>>719768872Silksong is unironically bigger even than Half-Life 3 lmao
>>719768872>he didn't watch the HL2 documentary HL3 was finished a long time ago, it wasn't good enough, so they shelved it.
>>719768945lower your shilling a notch or two, you're reeking of curry with that kind of comment
>>719768872Honestly, what's left to solve in the story? I already forgot lolOther than who the fuck is G-man, what else needs to be done?
>>719768945Lol if hl3 trailer got released it would be a major event on the internet for anyone that's not a complete zoomer and that's a lot of prominent personalities, content creators and gamers(average gamer is 35yo from stats). Just because we don't talk, doesn't mean we are not out there. Silent majority. Most tech bros I know have not played games since 2009 but they would cum in their pants if hl3 got released
>>719768872It would be hilarious if silksong got blindsided by a hl3 reveal, but it's not going to happen.
>>719769503Literally no one gives a shit about HL3. Not even (You). Its time has passed.
>>719769503if the hl3 trailer got released everyone on the planet would immediately start shitting pissing and cumming fr
Thanks mcniggerI would love a hl3, but it's dead as dead can be
>>719769638Zoomer spotted, opinion invalidated immediately
>>719769638that's just normal life in india.
>>719768945>Valve put the HL3 page at the front of the store and pushes the Silksong banner to the backTheir platform, fucko.
>>719769609>Its time has passednot an argument, remakes and remasters sell like hot cakes precisely because game publishers can cash in on nostalgia boomers better than new generation that hates older games because they're tech illiterate, hell, even zoomzooms lap it all up if devs add gaytracing and photo mode
>>719768872Switch 2 tomorrowshiggy my wiggy
>>719770204>zoomie pretending to be a boomerlol, you weren't even alive when Half Life 1 was released
>>719768872>HALF LIFE 3 TOMORROWOh no you dont
>>719768945If gaben whispered half life 3 while taking a shower it would overshadow silksong
>>719768872>be me>want to play VR>know how things usually work when buying tech for me.>don't spend a thousand fuckers for an Index that hasn't dropped in price after six years>instead buy the cheapest little shit-goggles I can find>It's been a month>Steam Frame about to be announced.Damn, it feels good to be right.
>>719768872t. tyler mcnigger
>>719768872Steam Machine bros we are back!!
>>719768872tyler has been claiming half life 3 is coming soon for over 10 years nowat best it will be deadlock VR edition
I want to buy VR but nothing decent ever came out for the Index outside of Alyx. It's all just tech demosI'm not about to spend 1500 dollars or however much itll cost on a Half Life machine
>>719774770and he was right every single time, well... kinda. He has been right about Valve working on something for the past 10 years, the blame is on Valve who for some reason is not happy with the result ever time. 10 years ago it was the real half life 3 that was scrapped, alongside L4D3, then it was another half life project which everyone thought it was HL3 but ended up being HL:A. Then it was Citadel which everyone though it was HL3 due to the name but ended up being Deadlock. Now we have something else named "HLX" which is rumored to actually be HL3.
The International just started, you won't get any announcements for a week
>>719775217get a second hand quest 2 for like 50 bucks, pirate all the pcvr titles, play them for a week and then sell the thing for 50 bucks.
>>719768872They're gonna have to introduce the Steam Frame thing first. I'd reckon the HL3 announcement will be some random tweet sometime after it, or maybe they'll be planning it to be present at TGA for maximum hype.
>>719768945Gabe ass raping silksongfags today would be based
>>719768912>Friereddit
HALF LIFE 3 YESTERDAY
>>719768872>Steam FrameSo what is this, some kind of monitor stand? That'd be a shit name for a console
>>719777161The Deckard, console will either come after Deck 2 or won't come at all. Valve's not all that interested in the home console and see docking as a home console experience. Some chink in Taiwan put the Fremont on Geekbench, it wasn't Valve. Valve were the ones that put Jupiter (Steam Deck LCD) and Galileo (Steam Deck OLED) on Geekbench, not the Taiwachinks.
>>719768945Could you goddamn shills stop spamming this retarded game in every thread
My cope is that Steam Frame is the software that let's you play games on a virtual 2D screen in VR.
>>719769609I would care if Valve hired Ross Scott to voice Freeman and gave him free reign to say what he wanted.
>>719777487Probably. People seem to hype this feature a lot when it comes to Deckard leaks.
>>719768912this, it's too late, who the fuck cares?
>>719777487why is the cope something that already exists?
>>719777837I'm talking about the name, not whether it exists or not
>>719768912Judging by how a lot of people were coping hard few months back when Gabe's yacht was seen near LA when Summer Game Fest was a thing, hoping that he'll be there to announce HL3? Yeah people still care a lot.
>>719777487Steam Frame is a cybernetic exoskeleton that is fused to your own body in an irreversible procedure, giving you superhuman strength and senses
>>719777412no because silksong is the greatest game ever made, the biggest release this year and also GOTYYOU MUST BUY ITI'm getting payed for this btw
>>719781134>payed
>>719780909I'd like to shoot fireballs with my brain computer interface valve index. Gaben wont try to rewire my brain like zuc
>>719768872>Alyx 2woop de doo
>>719768872>waits 20 year until all hype is dead
>>719768945There is no way on the gods green earth that this is possible and you know it
>>719768912>>719777821>>719778542Newfags do care because internet basically shilled steam, valve, gaben etc. as this holy savior of pc gaming crap to them so they are hold to a different standard. Just look at the recent 40k player count deadlock got despite the fact game's getting shittier every update. You think the people playing deadlock was alive in 2004?It's always newfags who don't know history and will repeat history. Naive arrogant newfags who like to be lied on and feel personally attacked when challenged. Everything wrong with humanity basically.
half life was never good
>>719777161
>>719768872It's Actman here
>>719768912Obviously the discord schizoids making these threads on repeat.
>>719768945What the fuck is silksong (don't care)
>>719783290this is pure copenobody even considers vr anymoreit's dead, valve knows better than to put out another phone screen in a box ft. wii motes as controllers
>>719783229what is your complaint with half life 1? i dislike when the muhreens are introduced because they are the most generic boring enemy available but i loved the initial alien lab setting and later xen
HL3 lost to Silksong anyways, nobody cares about hl3 anymore
>>719776639>Pinkasa
>>719783494Do you have skin the game? If Valve announces a VR headset in september are you going to cope?
I would be lying if I said I'm not gonna purchase HL3 day one lol. Depending on the quality and price of the Deckard, well I guess Steam Frame now, I may just sell my Quest 3.
>>719768872>retards seriously believing that Valve would make THE Half-Life 3 a fucking VR gameValve may be run like a schizophrenic's power fantasy but even they are not stupid enough to flush millions if not billions of dollars down the toilet in potential revenue by making the most heavily anticipated sequel in video game history a VR exclusive.
>>719768872If Half Life 3 doesn't look like this, I'm not buying it.
>>719784221kys
>>719768912You cared enough to post
>>719784176The whole point of the VR set is it also allows you to play games on a 2D screen in a 3D space and the computer is inside the headsetHL3 will be non-VR. Relax.
>>719784346>The whole point of the VR set is it also allows you to play games on a 2D screen in a 3D space and the computer is inside the headsetWhich is fucking retarded and again, unless Valve is infected with a terminal case of stupid, they are not going to limit HL3 to any kind of specialized device.
Except Valve didn't announce any games alongside the Steam Deck you third world faggot. Pointless hypeslop. HL3 is probably close but this by no means implies it is being announced tomorrow. At most, this will be the hardware it is released on, if at all.
>>719784479Your argument, faggot?I already said HL3 will be non-vr you stupid retarded ape. Learn to read.
>>719784297I will Keep Myself Safe. Thanks anon.
>>719784479You dumb fucking faggot it will be playable on PC AND THE VR DEVICE IN 2D THEATRE MODE
>>719768872Steam Frame could be a huge technological leap if it allows you to play any game with 6 dof. Dolphin vr already allows you to do that with Wii and gc games. It's just a matter of time before it becomes available for any game.I'm hyped.
>>719784221Workshop support day 1
Supposedly this Steam Frame thing will be able to play flat screen game and it's starting to become obvious that HL3 will be the killer app for it. I wonder what kind of gimmick the game will have to amplify the experience on this thing. 6 dof section in zero-G would be pretty cool I'd reckon.
>>719785432How is 0g in game cool when you are experiencing 1g irl standing
I don’t want Half-Life 3. I want Artifact.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.
>>719768872>VR againfuck that.
>>719784739>>719785015Oh OK you pedantic fucks, so it might be EXCLUSIVE TO A VR DEVICE that can also play flatscreen games. Since you two seem to be suffering from low IQ, I'll give you a few minutes to figure out what the problem is here.
>>719768872I remember “finding” half-life 3 release date to be aril 2012 on some sketchy website back in the day. I’ve just came to terms with the fact that it will never release and every leak or rumor will end up being fake
>>719768872>half life 3 is announced>it's a f2p games as a service release
What do you want from it. anons? Just finish to a HL games or ending for sequels or other games like Alyx?
>>719786318i dont give a fuck about the story i just want to be a scientist in a lab where things go wrong. abiotic factor is the best half life i have experienced since half life 1
half life tcg>alyx, use body slam on anons life points directly, sending him to the borderworld!
>>719785890Kill yourself. Your bait is dogshit.
>>719768872steam frame will be some feature of the valve deckard/steamvr not half life 3.also i think we'll get another alyx and not a 'main line' half life game
>>719768872Pcbros huff some of the strongest copium known to man
>>719768872Dont care about half life, give me left 4 dead 3
>>719781606>Gaben wont try to rewire my brain like zucOh you sweet naive child
even if it was real i don't get excitedi can't get excited for anything anymoreand HL3 is gonna be some VR garbage so who cares
>>719768912No I stopped caring about this series when the sequel turned a cool x files/perfect dark vibe into a 1984 gay orwellian nightmare. Hey remember those aliens that tried to kill you with lightning blasts? They are actually wise creatures you should befriend. Fuck off
>>719790282i like both half life and half life 2, stay mad fag
>>719769609I imagine a lot of people would give a shit if it was actually announced.
>>719790172Half Life 3 WAS VRdont worry though."Half-Life 3" will be Half-life 4
>>719768872Nice, but we already have Epistle 3.
When neon prime got trademarked it was like a year with nothing announced
>>719768872>hl3 announced>it's not what you think it is
>>719789187No YOU kill yourself you inbred sack of subhuman shit.
>>719793438because they had to rework the entire game into deadlocks style
Can't wait for Half-Life Alyx 2!
>>719768872Steam Frame to me sounds like they're making a monitor with a computer in it?
>>719790282> tasteful but retarded takeNo, the real creature reason hl1 was better than hl2 is these fucking chads (pic related) and their daddy. Unfortunately, if they appear again they'll probably be good guys because the nihilanth was enslaved
>>719795839but it's not as if they were planning on announcing it the next day
>63 threads for some dogshit dated platformer game with the ugliest main character design I've ever fucking seenGuess I'll take shelter here from the rain of diarrhea that's happening on this board
>>719783128Deadlock is exclusively played by 30+ year old europeans who suffer
Silkfags when Gordon wakes up and smells the ashes tomorrow
t.1988half life was my first gamehuge fan played hl1, hl2, all the mission packs, episodes, portal games endless times20 years fast forwardin my 30s half life alyx dropsi watch pewdiepie play alyx while working outforget it exists the following day
People acting like hysterical monkey because they can't buy a shitty astroturfed "metroidvania" slop with lazy character design that looks like OC from a 15 year old tumblr artist
Don’t careGive me Entropy Zero 3
>>719768872>AND HL3what makes you think they're making a new Half Life? What makes you think a new Valve game would ve good? Valve only works on multiplayer slop now
>>719769057https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEZsGUqgtHQ
>>719800109>what makes you think they're making a new Half Life?The massive amount of leaks since Alyx came out.>What makes you think a new Valve game would ve good?Alyx.
>>719768872>art director dead>writer left and leaked the story>gabe stuck on a boat somewhereBut it’ll happen, surely, two more weeks
>>719768912I do.
>>719768912I care about Valve's next step in VR which will make true VR real and not the gay shit we've had for the past decade.
Epistle 3 already gave me all the closure I wanted, and I didn't much care for Alyx. I might check it out on sale if it were to ever actually release.
>>719801325I think that even once full dive is achievable that there will still be a place for "flat" video games, personally.
>>719768872half life series was always about pushing boundaries and new tech. I wonder what they're planning with hl3. making the first fully AI rendered game would be huge if they achieve photorealism. not sure if they'll be able to make it run on rtx 5060.
>>719783290>they timed this beta datamineValve did? What is he implying here?
>>719801732>half life series was always about pushing boundaries and new tech.lol pls stfu. they had some lame physics based seesaw in hl2 and that was it. two fucking decides ago.
>>719800626mike morasky, robin walker, eric wolpaw, pinkerton. + laidlaw said himself dropping epistle 3 was a mistake, it was dark times for him, and the story shapes around the gameplay during the development
>>719799526diluted your own experience instead of embracing what valve tried to emulate with alyx.... you deserve torture....
>>719801732Jesus Christ, AI is a fucking meme for now that is unusable for video games. The game will look a little bit better than Half-Life: Alyx. The innovation will be in terms of replayable gameplay, better NPC AI and a better implementation of The Director AI system from Left 4 Dead.
>>719802625>Half-Life: Alyx is a 2020 lol you mean i didn't fall for a scam. if you want to make hardware you have to support it.
>>719790282dawg it was literally explained in the first game that vorts were forced and enslaved to invade earth. explained by gman at the end of hl1
>>719776131>crashes steam with no survivorshe actually did it, the absolute madman
HALF LIFE TODAY
>>719768872Silksong wonHalf Life lostGaben lost
>>719797825same
FOR GODS SAKE OPEN THE SILO DOORS ITS OUR ONLY WAY OUT
>>719805463STAHP STAHPACK
>>719799864Why did he do it bros?
RIP to all the anons that died along the way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy61r3Qkm6o
we're gonna make it bros
>>719799864
does anyone know if its possible to infiltrate valve hq? if i get a fake badge and try to enter at the same time as a real employee u think i can get to the floor where they make hl3? will i get in huge trouble if they find out?
>>719783128When Gaben dies and his son takes the company public you can say goodbye to PC gaming
>>719801732You don't know how AI or rendering work
>>719801732They're going to revolutionize the industry by making a good looking game that can run at more than 30fps on a 5080 without dlss
this nigga stopped uploading daily half life updates after 2000 days..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu6k-F-zOtU
>>719805463Seriously WTF was his problem?
>>719808405Is it even a sure thing that his son will get any control over it at all? Is he actually involved with Valve?
>>719808362Gaben will personally crush you under his immense weight.
Too late. I really don't care. Name 5 people who care rn.
>>719801732>not sure if they'll be able to make it run on rtx 5060.Maybe if the game had very little gameplay, no sound design and ran in 800x600 at 10fps. Consumer electronics are still a long ways away from being able to do anything like that.
>>719809202meimyselfanongordon freeman
>>719809438count me in, boss
>>719808819No but it's assumed he'll inherit his shares. He might not I suppose
>>719768872No one cares, nerd. "HL3" is a study in hubris. Valve started sucking down gallons an gallons of their own farts so hard back in the mid 00's being gassed up by every fucking retard online, that they started believing they should only bother to make a Half-Life 3 if it did things like cure cancer, create fucking wormholes to Deep Space 9, or generate free tacos for everybody, for life. The obsession with "it must be bleeding edge new-to-the-table stuff" ending up keeping them in GRRM-mode for... 21 fucking years, now? Who with two brain cells to rub together even fucking cares at this point? It will NEVER live up to the hype all of you losers created for yourselves, because Valve was NEVER actually able to deliver on said magnitudes of magical thinking.Not then. ESPECIALLY not now.
>>719809672Valve has no need to put out games to survive, so they can comfortably afford to be autistic with HL3.
>>719808362I bet Tyler tried this so many times that there are land mines and razor wire keeping you from the cutting room floor.
>>719809672There’s nothing wrong with holding your game back until you have things you actually want to show case and elevate game devs. They have all the money in the world, it’s a much better situation than being a slop factory cause your IP has Star power
>>719768872>Steam Deckspeaking of, is the 1tb version worth it or can I go for the 512gb model? I never leave the house so don't need the anti reflection display
>>719809672My dear, misguided friends… must we continue to indulge in this fixation? The elusive “Half-Life 3” - a chimera born of untempered expectation and, dare I say, hubris. For decades now, Valve has found itself ensnared not by any external oppressor, but by its own rarefied atmosphere… intoxicated by the adoration of its followers, and by the illusion that its next endeavor must transcend mere entertainment.You demanded miracles. A panacea for cancer. A key to the stars. A machine to conjure infinite delights. And in so doing, you erected a monument so impossible, so insurmountable, that no work of flesh and mind could ever stand against it.And so, we arrive here, twenty-one years on… and still, you pine for a revelation that will never come. The truth, though unpalatable, is this: Half-Life 3 can never exist as you imagine it. Not then… and certainly not now.Perhaps, it is time… to let go.
>>719809769This has been so disappointing to see develop. They're in a position that no one else in the entire industry has and, in my opinion, squander it.They could have made so many solid AA games since Portal 2 if they still cared about making fun games. I hoped we'd see more stuff like Alien Swarm, for example.
Checks next bin.
>>719801732See, it's people like this, this absolutely fucking retard right the fuck here. ""~NEW TECH~"" has been happening for the last two decades, AT ANY POINT they could have jumped in with a HL3 utilizing "NEW TECH™™" This excuse you faggots keep making was beyond tired even a decade ago.Also, AI is fucking slop, don't be a homo
>>719809672>that they started believing they should only bother to make a Half-Life 3 if it did things like cure cancer, create fucking wormholes to Deep Space 9, or generate free tacos for everybody, for life. The obsession with "it must be bleeding edge new-to-the-table stuff" ending up keeping them in GRRM-mode for... 21 fucking years, now?I think it's more that they simply don't have the interest if there isn't some new aspect being explored. They didn't make Half-Life 2 because the story of HL simply had to go on, but because they got excited at what they could do with the tech they were using. If they're making HL3 just because they're "supposed" to do that, then they're not doing something they want to. If HL3 isn't being made, then it's because no one at Valve found anything interesting to do with it
>>719809929I clapped irl. Good one anon
HAAAALFFF LIIIIFFEEEE 3
I would have loved to play through the story described in Epistle 3, especially the parts toward the ending.
>>719810139>No shortage of possible innovation currently in the industryGabe at the end of HL2 documentaryThey know how they can innovate and they're delivering very soon, this or next year
>>719768945You will never be a woman
>>719769503>Lol if hl3 trailer got released it would be a major eventthe internet would explode if this really happens. I would shit my pants and cry
huh, would be funny coincidence when my youtube feed randomly put HL vid. It's 95% music suggestions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haIPsHVN4_Q
>>719810125Yeah explain to us all the new tech without saying AI and ray tracing and graphical shit. We’re talking about major engine changes like adding centripetal force or something.
>>719810125>Also, AI is fucking slop, don't be a homoAI is just a question of application. If Valve does something with AI, I doubt they'll do it in a way that could be summarized as "slop"
>>719809929i will find grok's data centers and bomb them
>>719768912This unironically, their window for making a new one and have people who care is about to close.It's like making a new quake. Yeah that's cool and all but that shit was popular 25 years ago, everyone who cared already moved on from videogames.
>>719810337All the boomers i know, HL is their top 3 game, they're just ready to activate from the sleep, when it drops its gonna be a insane moment
Valve makes shit games. Half Life is super overrated to boot
>>719810695Says the playstation jew
>>719810732i'm an idort. i own everything, poorfag. valve still shit. >:]
>>719810859So you're a cuck consoooooooomer
>>719811080Just not poor like you, Jose.
>>719810695Shut it, Halo baby
>>719809941Lots of companies are in a similar position, just through different means. EA has nothing to fear because they own sports games. Epic has every dev under the sun using their engine and are also making bank off of fortnite.
I had a screenshot of some anon saying they will announce steam deck 2 in September,let me see if I can find it
>>719768872VR already flopped and Valve want another go at it, lmfao. the hubris.
>>719768945pcbros absolutely malding over this TRVKE
>>719811669I am sorry for this crashout. I'm not feeling well recently, please ignore this guys
>>719811670For sure, but Valve is a private company that also owns the most popular and lucrative games storefront on PC. They have more money than god and all the time in the world.
>>719811853Yeah fair enough, publicly traded companies don't really have the ability to do things out of passion
IT'S UP
>>719811853They made Half-Life: Alyx and they're literally finishing up HL3 per insider leaks and datamined strings from CS2 / Deadlock, what more do you want?
>>719812002SILKSONG BROS!!
>>719812002And by "It", let's just say, my dingdong
>>719768872I hope so that would be neatDo people think Steam Frame is going to be a valve console or a new VR set?
>>719812104i think its related to the vr set, deckard will allow u to play 2d games in theatre mode with just the device on your head, could launch with hl3/hlx
>>719809672hypothetically we could give every single person 1 taco seed and they could feed themselves for liferealistically no one would plant the seed
>>719812272So it'll be a standalone VR system to compete with something like Quest?
>>719768872Announcing on a friday? Doesn't sound likely
>>719812375Probably. Makes sense, they got VR experience with the index and portable console experience with the deck, now they combine the two.>mfw it's actually steam machines again
>>719812026Something much less derivative and "engagement based" than either CS2 or Deadlock, for starters.>they're literally finishing up HL3 per insider leaksWhat the fuck ever.
>>719812410It's so everyone can drool over it over the weekend
>>719785997https://youtu.be/nF_Ca45JRFs?si=qzo8acoI5yIAheZd
>>719812410No it was trademarked yesterday, it'd be announced today, as in a few hours from now
>>719812559Everything found so far is compiled on this board:https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVINqBTwM=/There's so much stuff that denying it is being delusional at this point
>>719784787After absorbing 0.001% of Gabe's fat.
>>719812983Let's see them release it before I give even half a shit about any of this. We've been doing this song and dance for over a decade.
>>719785432I'm guessing they will make it like the 3ds where it's "flat" in terms of interactivity but it is still a 3d window into a game world. Kind of like the screens from PREY. That's the only evolution that would feel exciting instead of a step back from real VR.
>>719808405steam =/= pc gamingsteam is nothing more than a middle man rent seeker>but le hecking steam is the least evil jew so it's okayno it's notstfu
>>719813591Seriously, why did that begin and end at the 3DS? I loved that.
>>719809672>The obsession with "it must be bleeding edge new-to-the-table stuff" ending up keeping them in GRRM-mode for... 21 fucking years, nowwhich is a shame because when it comes to game design valve is on par with nintendo, nobody else comes close. they know how to craft incredible gameplay but for some cursed reasons are obsessed with tech part of it.
>>719813891Everything Nintendo does is 20 years ahead of the curve, their technology is too shitty and primitive though and it creates a negative stigma around very cool ideas. Valve is just going through and picking up the shit they pioneered but giving people what they actually dreamed was possible.

>>719813591>>719813891If you want that, you can have that right now.https://helixmod.blogspot.com/2017/05/3d-fix-manager.htmlhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1494460/Desktop/ (This has the ability to set windows with side-by-side 3D to actual stereo in VR within the SteamVR environment, no nvidia requirement)https://github.com/artumino/VRScreenCap (If you want something more 'immersive' and singular instead of a SteamVR Overlay, no AMD allowed)Now, Valve popularising doing this as a standard thing in a chunk of high profile games would be amazing as it'd make it less of a "Hack shit into the game" if you only play AAA slop that's <2 years old (most braindead consumers).
>>719813849Just a middle man? Steam workshop, steam cloud, handles all the traffic with mass downloads, automatic updates, steam market, forums, steam networking for multiplayer and much more. Are you dumb?
>>719814793I'm not hacking that shit into games, I'm way too lazy for it, as are 99% of the mass consumer base. I'm guessing valve is making a standardised protonesque layer that turns all videogames into 3d windows which solves the biggest issue with VR, which is there's no software or usecase for it.If I was valve I would then make a more involved VR experience that is about being surrounded by 3d frames that you manipulate or jump between
