alleged HLX half life 3 leak, posted 3 hours ago from a chinese source of chinese fourms, holy shit.
gay
>>721910123Holy Onions, that's Chines-TASTIC BRO!
>Gabe Freeman
>>721910123looks SBI-fied
>>721910123Which AI model did you use to generate this?
>>721910123>old alyxNO BUY
>>721910123>Major Timeskip with old Gordon and AlyxNot sure what would even justify this.
I'm sure HL3 has TBs of concept art, doesn't mean any of it is relevant
i just hope it's not VR i have little interest in VR in its current state
>>721910552bottom right corner
JUST 2 MORE WEEKS VALVEDRONEBROS
>>721910123I wonder if it’s time travel or just a massive time skip. Old man Freeman would be kino
>>721910123Let it fucking go already
>>721911082would probably be time travel via gay man
>>721911096Why would anyone let it go after alyx? Pre alyx sure, but they’re obviously making a game.
Why are people so desparate for a Half Life 3?You guys do know it's gonna be a generic FPS right? What more can they do from a tech perspective than what they did via HL1 > HL2 > HL:AThere's literally nothing more that valve can do to make HL3 even remotely worth the hype given how stagnant gaming has gotten
>>721910123WALLED
>>721911278the setting of half life is unique enough that even if it was a pretty generic shooter it would still feel fairly distinct, not even a big HL fan either.
>>721911278>Why are people so desparate for a Half Life 3?Because it's a meme part of the "gaming community" terminally online losers are desperate to belong to.
Don’t care. Finish Artifact Foundry.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.
>>721911278Full-dive VR.
>>721911540>card game
>>721911540"artifact fanbase" really swooping in for joke of the month at the finish line
>>721910123Olden Senileman
>>721911278cuz they're fun and a new one would likely also be fun
>>721911540>artifact fanbase
>>721910123>>721911004It’s called fake news and everyone knows Twitter always lies about everything in Steam platform.
>>721911278>Why are people so desparate for a Half Life 3?Gay zoomers wouldn't understand
>>721911278We've wrapped back around to a time when single player shooters are dead again. Now would be a pretty good time for them to put HL3 out.And beyond that, I just like the story and the gameplay. Even if it was basically just HL2 again with updated graphics I'd be happy.
>>721911278This type of defeatist attitude is exactly why vidya is in the position it’s in right now.
>>721910584Yeah, it wouldn't make a lick of sense unless they're about to retcon the game they just brought the series back for. It's already been established that people in G-man's pocket dimension don't age, and there's a whole bunch of in-progress story events which can't just be left hanging for years. Unless the Combine made a big aging beam or some shit I don't see how a timeskip is even possible right now.
>>721911278>There's literally nothing more that valve can do to make HL3 even remotely worth the hype given how stagnant gaming has gottenPOV full penetration Barney sex. It is not only a key game mechanic, but hugely relevant to the lot, with your technique determining the layout of the procedurally generated maps
>>721911082Having a gigantic timeskip half way through would be a great meta way to acknowledge near two decade hiatus.
>>721911792even google stadia had a fanbase
>>721911987>>721912113I could see a "we tried to get to the Borealis and fucked up without Eli / Losing Eli demoralized us so bad we delayed it and it just kept getting delayed over and over (wink wink) but now we absolutely have to get the combine off earth" type of plot.
>>721910123Who even cares about hl3 anymore? half life was good in its time but it's been 20 years nostalgia hype can only last so long.
>>721912271They no longer have lost Eli though
>>721912472>Still haven't played Alyx because >VRI suppose I should really watch a playthrough or something. Too poor for VR myself.
>>721910123why is gordon black now
LEAK ANON HERE. THESE ARE REAL. ANNOUNCEMENT IS NEXT MONTH, AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED IN MY OLD THREAD. GREAT THINGS ON THE HORIZON.THE COMBINES RECKONING HAS COME.
>>721912572More Alyx spoliers, but old Alyx also doesn't work because Alyx got hired by G-man and is put in stasis at the point Episode 2 ended. As already established in HL2 that should mean she shouldn't age for however long she is kept in there. Old Gordon could make sense, but not old Alyx.
>>721910123They've been making Deadlock for 8 years and it still sucks balls, why would I want nu-Valve to ruin halflife?
>>721911278good bait but the reddit spacing made it too obvious
>>721912902Making female characters old gets you +diversity points according to blizzards anti white male woke chart
>>721913225This is Valve, not Blizzard though.
Holy shit there are binaries floting around on discord servers now. Although you can't launch it not enough files. Apparently December releaseHOOOOLY FUUJJJJUJJCKCKCJCJCJCJ
>it's another Tyler McNigger cocksucking threadI'll believe it when I see it with my own eyes.
>>721913757Can you elaborate? Seriously no shit?
>>7219137572 MORE MONTHS
>>721913757I want to believe we're experiencing the sequel to the HL2 leak.
>>721912848>HL3 announced the day Bloodlines 2 releasesPlease God, let this happen, because it would be so funny.
>>721910123>sighIts a fake leak. We know a bunch of shit about HLX and none of them have an old gordon. Why would we have an old gordon when he's the protag of the game still jumping around shooting people.Any why the fuck would they do a concept art of the Gman, exactly as he looks in HL Alyx, just standing around as if its the first time they're designing him?Also, we do have actual concept art of the gman in Alyx and its not even in that artstyle, the gman they drew was closer to the HL2 design, the Alyx look only came around during the modelling phase.It's fucking retarded how there's actual legit real HL3 leaks happening almost every month but people are still doing fake leaks about it.
>>721914558>actual legit real HL3 leaks happening almost every monthlike what
>>721914558Who drew the art though?
>>721910123>old Alyx and Gordonwhat
>>721914558You dumb monkey why would engine strings tell you how old Gordon is. These are real internal visdevs
Can confirm that the leaked files from today (including this one) are legit. Announcement in December, most likely at TGA.
>>721914626The game is getting constant logic strings leaked from CS2.>>721914656AI>>721914815Why would Valve make it so their action hero protagonist who is known for running around with a shotgun is 70 years old?
>>721914818What leaked files? Elaborate please what files?
>>721911278he said what should have been said. Half Life 1-2 were the most generic shit ive fucking played. Its like every other shooter in the market. >b-b-b-b-but physics!*yawn* wake me up when they do something actually unique. literally the most generic movie game ive played since the ps3 era.
>>721915453I've seen you in another hl thread 2 weeks ago, same wording with the movie game stuff. Crazy how obsessed you are with hating on the game. And you even played it 10 times as u said
>>721915797wrong guy? cause i cant be bothered to wait 1minute and 20 seconds for a post,
>>721910123>leaker acts like HLX is some new thing everyone discovers even though we've known about it for 5 fucking years>lmao look guys, old gordon and alyx cause its been so long since Episode 2 despite the ending of Alyx straight up saying HL3 is picking up right from the end of Episode 2>obvious AI on gordon>the writing on that gman one is literally just fucking linesHow in the ever loving fuck are you guys falling for this shit?
>>721910552I don't believe these are real, but if they are, you know they'd only use the old versions as a sort of time travel gimmick>play as Gordon or Alyx>Search for a way to defeat Combine and their masters by using timetravel or messages through time>through visions or actual travel, get glimpses of a timeline where Gordon & Alyx have done all the effort and work for the tech (or vice versa, they show up in the past to hand you the vital tech you need to change the outcome)>Current, still young Alyx / Gordon will use timetravel to either go all the way to Black Mesa to stop the Resonance Cascade, or think broader>MC becomes an unstoppable god who knows every possible outcome and is able to travel through time>Gordon becomes as powerful as G-Man, or even better
>>721910123why are all the writings next to the images not real and just random scribbled lines?
>>721910123>old alyxFuckkk muhdick I love older women. I don't have mommy issues tho
>>721915453You weren't even alive when HL1/HL2 released. Every FPS you've played is a byproduct of it's influence, so of course the original is going to seem "lackluster".
>>721916124>/v/ is one person>projecting this hardishyddt
>>721911278Because we're emotionally attached to the series and they left us not only on one but two cliffhangers now.Besides, all hail the source engine. A new Half Life would mean a new era for the Source Engine, leading to exciting new games.
>>721911442This DESU. It's a corridor shooter but the setting is like a mixture between Seattle and War of the Worlds.
Test
A "concept" art makes no sense! Because I said so! It's a concept you mongoloids. And you don't even know a thing about the actual lore.
>>721917159What lore? That the game will be a confusing Time Travel story and not the borealis Arctic story we were supposed to have originally?
Alyx is gone and you're alone that's already different than ep2 ending. You think a 30 hour game will be just start in white forest and fly to Arctic?
>>721910584With Gman and spacetime teleport fuckery they can basically do whatever they want regarding time.Also, the concept art doesn't necessarily mean the whole game is set in the future. It doesn't really mean anything since lots of concept art never actually makes it into the game.
So, in Half-Life 3, we're defeating the Combine and then the new antagonist going forward will be the "Employers"?
hey OP give me this china forum my friend reads Chinese
T O M O R R O W
Ok so like is it real or not? I need a Image Analysis expert to tell me
>>721915994>Gordon becomes as powerful as G-Man, or even betterhe becomes the G-Man, it rhymes
>>721911278>You guys do know it's gonna be a generic FPS right?Thats best case scenario, you retardTying the franchise to gimmicks is what ruined it.
>>721910123>Gordon Oldman
>>721916124Neither game is lackluster, even today. HL1 especially is still a tight as fuck.
>>721911576the fatass is working on brain chips just for that purpose. I swear heard somewhere once where gabe himself said how he's researching actual brain chips just so there is an actual reason to make half life 3.
>>721919839the brain chip killer app will be prospero
>>721910123hag life
>>721920315FULLY MODELED GRANDMA CERVIX
>OLD GORDON WAKES UP AT APERTURE SCIENCEKino is back on the menu
>>721913757Sooooo, what're you waiting to give their source/those files you retardT0RPV
>>721920765The captcha in the captcha, not in the text retard.>>721913757He's right tho, give the files or gtfo
alleged = fake and gay
>>721912848Next month as in October or November? Because at this point we shouldn't be considering this month
>>721920954Probably november like Alyx
>>721911278The themes of Half-life being that science goes wrong and brings us into contact with super dangerous and power interdimensional alien species and it's only though the teamwork of a bunch of nerds does it get fixed is really cool and unique though.
Soon
>>721911278>You guys do know it's gonna be a generic FPS right?Good, I was getting tired of the Nintendo-level gimmicks just to get a game. Sometimes it's better to just make a generic game and call it a day.
>>721921291>pregnated
>>721914558They're skipping HL3 and making HL4 and you play as old gordon MGS4 style in a wheelchair.
>>721921291gross
>>721911540GIGA ULTRA MEGA TRUTHNUKEBASED ARTIFACT FAN
>>721910123Fake and gay. Valve only cares about counter strike skins and trying to save deadlock
Gayben's buttslave here, he's been pretty busy as of late, says that he's working on his "Magnum Opus" and that "it's so close to the reveal", but that last one might be about him trying to lose enough weight to see his own penis while looking down.
>>721915035it's from Half-Life: Alyx you dumb nigger your brain is fucking ai
>>721911278Right now a generic FPS is long overdue. One without RPG levelling garbage, pointless collectibles or repetitive side quests. Just a story that takes you from point A to point B and does its job right.
I'm probably the only person alive who wants to see Episode 3 before we get Half-Life 3.
>>721922372What would be the difference?
>>721922372what would be the difference by now?
>>721922503>>721922529Episode 3 continues exactly where Episode 2 ended.Half-Life 3 begins after a time-skip.
>>721910123>chinese sourceai garbage
>>721922676says who?
>>721922771Says I, a high-IQ person.
>>721922831you sound dumb desuwa
>>721922676@grok is this true
>>721922871It makes sense. Half-Life and it's two expansions took place in the same timeframe, then a time skip happened for Half-Life 2 and it's two episodes, which took place in the same timeframe. Naturally, another time skip should separate HL2 and its episode from HL3.And even if you disregard all of this, Episode 3 was announced and was never officially cancelled. They can't just leave this loose end hanging.
>>721923139Yeah.
>>721923248>They can't just leave this loose end hanging.why not?
>>721924095Because it's not nice.
Anyone believe that Half-Life 3 won't be the end of Half-Life or Gordon Freeman but the end of the Combine to shift the series towards dealing with an even bigger threat than them, the Employers?
Will they do another Limited Edition OLED Deck? Maybe HL-themed? That'd be cool, I'd finally get one
>>721925408I'm trying my best to hold out for a Steam Deck 2
>>721926272kys ai garbage
>>721910123Valve doesn't outsource, why would a random chink have access to all of this concept art? Why would valve do some kind of weird timeskip thing when alyx already set up a completely different plot? This shit is fake.
>>721910123Last I heard, my boy was going to find the Borealis. Will Gordon finally meet him in HL3?
>>721910123>g-man is now the youngest looking lad
>>721910123I'm glad Valve's artists are saving space by saving their art as 0-quality JPG's.
>>721911278it's about closing a cycle
HL is already over it's called Entropy Zero
Looks like AI
>>721928212The first rule of posting leaks on the internet. It has to be recorded in the worst quality imaginable to man
IM BUSSSING OHHHH MAHHH GAWDD
>>721910584>Not sure what would even justify this.the borealis is fucked and they get caught in a time explosion or some shit and it ages them a lot. idk man its a vidya game
>post-tf2 valveno thank you
>>721910123>Valve announces and shadow drops Orange Box 2, which is a compilation of full remakes of Half-Life, HL2 E1 and 2, a non-VR version of Alyx, Portal 3, Left 4 Dead 3, and announce that Half-Life 3 is coming next year.
>>721927550valve should make him the protagonist for the majority of the game
all we need is hl3 sdk imagine all the mods
>>721921291>esl>obsessed with analEvery time
>>721933497Mods are literally 90% of the reason why I ever even got in to Half Life / Half Life 2those games are just meh, but the mods? the mods are a GOLD MINEHL1:>original counter-strike and team fortress classic>The Specialists -mod>Natural Selection -mod>Earth's Special Forces -mod>NNK -mod>TF2/CS fun maps>Sven coop>climb maps>surf maps>dozens of singleplayer challenges / goofy storiesetcHL2:>Dystopia>Pirates Vikings and Knights>Empires>Synergy>Garry's Mod>Garry's Mod movie theater>TF2>L4D>zombie masteretcIF we ever get HL3, it better not be a live-service slop without dedicated servers and modding, because if it is, I will never buy it and forever boycot Valve
>>721915035>constant logic strings leaked from CS2And... what does that mean hm?
>>721934312iirc with CS2 they basically tried to kill off private servers, no idea what it's like now but it was obvious they didn't really want people to play it
Why would they even do HL3 right now? It's not a slop series, it's a tech demo series.
>>721910123Oh boy! Olds!
>>721934462I dunno but HL Alyx was def a really good game/tech demo. Best VR game, best (revolutionary) AI animations for NPCs that no one can get right besdies valve.
>>721934438why would they be interested in killing off private servers. there are many private servers, the playerbase just vastly prefers playing 5v5 comp. recently they added more scripting possibilities for mappers and people are making complicated, fun custom maps
>>721934843i'm pretty sure when CS2 came out it didn't even have a proper server browser like CSGO did, no idea if it has one now or not
Fake as fuck, you're retarded if you think this shit's real
>>721934462One of the reasons is that many of the OG employees are getting old/retiring so they wanna do their last magnum opus before they take off into the sunset. It's the perfect opportunity and probably the last moment to actually do it, after they finally revived the series with Alyx and got their hands dirty again. And the Source 2 engine was finally ready for the next game. I assume they have years and years of previous prototypes and gameplay ideas that they wanted to do. Many things that they wanted to do in HL2 they couldn't because of hardware limitations at the time. Now they can go wild with the current hardware that we have.
>>721935218>One of the reasons is that many of the OG employees are getting old/retiringdamn never even thought about it, hell half have probably left alreadyhopefully they do put it out soon and it's good. HL devs deserve it desu
>HAGALYXuhh.. nyo i nyot think so
>>721934983It has a server browser but it's built into Steam, not the game. So if you are in-game it pops up in the Steam Overlay. It's also glitchy, as it always was, and there are many fake servers created by Russians that redirect you to some garbage. Most of the people use websites for browsing servers, as I actually did back in CS 1.6 days, so not much changed there.
>>721935401which is bizarre because CS:GO had a perfectly functional onewhich is why i got the impression they kind of wanted people not to play private servers and focus on the monetised competitive shit
>>721934405thank me by posting a cat gifhttps://miro.com/app/board/uXjVINqBTwM=/
>>721910123Why are they all smirking?
>>721912653thats scuffed Eli, duh.He takes the HEV suit when Gordon commits suicide, AFTER learning Gman knocked up Alyx.
>>721936083????This is all just weird meme shit.
>>721939028brother use your mouse to scroll out and look around
>>721921291>shadman
>>721910123Release when? We've been waiting too long.s
>>721935343>hell half have probably left alreadySome of them came back to Valve recently too. It's a genuine 'one last score' kind of project.
>>721936083People tend to talk about the thermodynamic stuff but I'm more excited about the dynamic pathfinding shit with NPCs being able to traverse complex levels.
>>721935218>Source 2 engine was finally readyLast time I heard it they just started rewriting a save file system.
>>721946721They have to revamp it because the AI Director randomization made the save system difficult to implement. It's why the first version of HL3 was canceled I recall.
>>721910123So they aged in real time?
>>721927550Valve has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and make a collectible that's an item or a paper report that says Mitchell got his ship sunk and everyone died.
>>721947436>Gordon runs into Adrian Shephard>"What? Brothers? No, i'm an only child."
>>721915994>G-Man and Gordon were the same person this whole timeBravo Ken Levine
>>721911261Alyx was just a cheap tech demo they could quickly shit out to shill VR. They arent going to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into an actual game
>>721915994Gordon truly becomes, the Freeman
G(ordon Free)manlol
100% of anything out of China is fake. Concept art also means nothing. I'm sure they have a decade of concept art for multiple games that never started development
>>721948113bossman caught on /v/
>>721913757holy fuck a hl3.exe just flew over my house
>>721925249They're gonna have to explain who or what controls Xen now based on what the Gman said at the end of HL1.
HLX Rumors (compiled from datamines, confirmed they're working on it but unconfirmed if it will end up in the final product):>Features advanced physics simulation like buoyancy, fluids, thermodynamics, deformation of materials, spreading fire, and sound propagation.>Includes material-specific reactions. Wood burns, metal conducts heat, fabric absorbs sound, etc.>Dynamic environments. Maps and chapter order is linear, but map placements are alleged to be procedural>Procedural or semi-procedural map elements. Certain parts of levels, item placement, or encounters vary between playthroughs, similar in spirit to Left 4 Dead’s “AI director.”>Adaptive NPCs that react more realistically to sound, sight, and environmental changes, with the ability to alter tactics and moods>Dynamic navigation meshes. NPCs can find new paths if environment is dynamically changing>Dynamic weather and environmental effects. Wind, fog, lighting shifts that affect visibility and gameplay.>Not a fully open-world game. Allegedly more linear but with large, explorable areas. speculation: HLX announcement for September was cancelled due to optimizations to the Steam Frame's software stack. Highly likely that there will be an huge all-in-one announcement next year where everything will be announced at the same time (Steam Frame, HLX, and Frame tech demo game)
>>721951994>thermodynamicswhy
>>721910123nice ai art nigga
>>721952126arctic ice melting, energy beams, makes for more dynamic puzzles and emergent gameplay
>>721952368i was trying to think of ways it woul be implemented and ice puzzles is all i could think of too lol
>>721915994Thank fucking God you're not the writer for hl3
>>721910123I can't imagine it being good even if they did it. Valve are right to axe it. They created a world where humans are giga fucked, there's not really a good solution to the plot that isn't retarded
>>721952552he ist. knower
>>721936083Who made this shit? Why can't they use the same size of texts?
>>721910123>long awaited sequel to reddit 2>its just niggers and ugly dykes
>>721910123This screenshot gives me the idea that maybe it's going to be like The Last Clockwinder vr where you loop through the same map multiple times doing different actions but the more you do the right actions per loop, the closer you are to the intended goal.
>>721910123wow i can't wait to play cuck life 3
>HL3 for real this time Even if the leak is real, so what? HL3 has started and re-started development so many times at this point. It's safe to assume the game is always in development. Whether technology has advanced enough for Valve to justify finishing it (and whether they're still even capable at this point) is another thing entirely.
>>721953758who is friegger talking to
Fromsoft already made the perfect games with dark souls. There's no need for a half life 3 to exist.
>>721953758The previous iterations never got this far though. At this point in time, they are feature-locked and content-locked and they're now optimizing performance and load times.
>>721954526Proofs?
>>721910123>Old Gordon and AlyxFirst of all Gordon better have knocked that shit up, second of all what the fuck?
>>721954526https://pastebin.com/u/gabefollowerRead them all in chronological order. Connect the dots.
>>721955523Meant for >>721955187. This is the most concrete proof we have. I guess the miro is fine too but that's already a 2nd hand speculation based on the same leaked strings in the pastebin.
>>721952368Also it'll have some liquid interaction in some way with oil/water separation and such. I think it's possible that the player can set the flame on the oil on the water surface.
It'll be set in the Arctic and it turns out Borealis isn't the only ship Gordon will come across. The place is littered with scrapped manmade ships the Combine uses for whatever reasons. It's also a self-referential nod to Valve's games that they were unable to ship over the years, and Borealis is their true HL3 that did.
There's going to be a Doorman reference/easter egg.
>>721953327I don't mind time loop angle as long as it's contained in just one level that doesn't affect the entire game. Something like Titanfall 2 where the time travel shit is only there for one level just for novelty sake. I don't want it to be the whole game.
I played it already, it's decent 8.5/10
>>721951407I'm interested in that, Alyx ending showed what looked like Xen in Source 2 graphics when Alyx is speaking to the G-Man. Be great to return there and see what it looks like in current graphics.
>>721957643That'd be 95/100 on metacritic in current year.
>>721951994>Adaptive NPCs that react more realistically to sound, sight, and environmental changes, with the ability to alter tactics and moodsF.E.A.R. AI but for real this time I hope.
>>721910123HL3 has been "leaked" numerous times now.
>>721951994Would they also announce the Steam Deck 2 despite that most likely releasing early 2028 or is it too soon for that one?
>>721910123I hope this is AI not because I want it to be fake but because this concept art is actually awful and the idea an illustrator this mid works at valve is a huge red flag
>>721958403There's still no technological leap in computing in terms of power efficiency so Steam Deck 2 won't be until 2029 at the latest.
>>721922372There's no difference other than length and release frequency. Either would just be the vents after episode 2
someone at valve is getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to make doodles of games that will never exist
>>721957526Me too. I just thought that if they're going to put some gimmick like this, it's going to be contained to a single act. For example, Gordon and Alyx would need to pass through this area to go to their actual destination. When they get there they encounter the older versions of themselves saying they never managed to escape the area due to some time anomaly but with their help maybe our Gordon and Alyx can. Then maybe it's going to be bittersweet where at least they spent the rest of their lives together or something
I played a Half Life 3 playtest like six months ago and the weirdest part was that the soundtrack was exclusively rap music
>>721958840That would imply Gordon can speak so nah
>>721958840Black Freeman?
>>721934462Right now will be a great time for a new tech demo rather given how stagnant the industry is atm.
>>721958485who the fuck at valve is getting paid to draw half life alyx gman but with dark green eyes? this has to be bullshit
>>721958610Early 2028, they're using AMD's Magnus APU.
>>721911278Still doubting valve
>>721915994>>through visions or actual travel, get glimpses of a timeline where Gordon & Alyx have done all the effort and work for the tech (or vice versa, they show up in the past to hand you the vital tech you need to change the outcome)Literally a Rick and Morty episode plot. Are you a high IQ individual?
>>721961034Half Life never had high IQ storytellingbesides, timetravel is practically already in the game, unless you want to claim G-man is just an immortal guy with teleportation, or that Gordon was put in a stasis pod where he didn't age a day since the ending of HL1
>>721948242Alyx took 5 years and almost the entire company worked on it at some point. The game takes 10-14 hours to beat you dumb retard.
>>721921414>HL3 is a vietnam era prequel>HL4 is Old GordonWHAT A THRILL
Do you think we will finally see babies in the game? Let's say there will be months-long timeskip. It'd be kino if the closing sequences for Half-life 3 would be the display of numerous babies or a pregnant Alyx even if Gordon Freeman dies. That means his sacrifice is not for nothing.
>>721962213I think they're going to end it on a bleak note, because it's all a parallel to the New World Order and we're knees deep in it.
>>721934438>they basically tried to kill off private serversNo.
>>721911278The secret is to not innovate, just design a fun and fast-paced game. I love HL1 but hate HL2, and if HL3 plays a lot like the latter then I won't buy it.
>>721962530Good thing is that the devs realized over the years that the gunplay in HL2 was lacking. From the weapon rosters to how the enemies fight the player, so hopefully HL3 will play more similarly to HL1 instead.
>>721919839With bio feedback you can see yourself make certain shaped brain waves. I could see them having a vortigaunt 'train you in telepathy' by asking you to relax or imagine your hand closing on an object, giving you some hud that shows peaks or whatever, and having it trigger ingame abilities. Makes sense if you are fighting those psychic combine fat overlord things too.>>721926908Chinese are always stealing and decompiling games to release behind the great firewall. They lack creativity so they get shit like ananata which is a hodge podge of popular assets with 0 soul.
>>721965248The silver lining is at least the Chinese won't be too interested in Half-Life, or single-player FPS in general to try to rip it off.
