It's coming
>>725954601it's going to be half life 2.8 for their upcoming vr headset
Well can it come now? I'm bored of waiting.
>>725954696Is this real?
they need to make half life 2 first
HOPIUM. ADMINISTERED.HAVE A VERY. COPE. DAY.
>>725954601>>725954801yeah we've only gotten half-life to the power of 2, no actual sequel yet
>>725954902kek i mean half life 2 sucked ass and didn't feel like a continuation of half life at all
>>725954969>it wasn't worth the weightthen you should email gayben, gayben, gaybenat valvesoftwaredot cooom
>>725954601Half life 3, left4dead 3, portal 3 all at the same time
only half life 3 can force my autist ass to go find a job

>>725956451Would be funny
Laidlaw announced his departure from Valve in January 2016. He said the primary reason for his departure was his age, and that he planned to return to writing stories.[5] He felt he was becoming a "negative force" at Valve and hampering the creative process, saying: "I think at some point you need to let the people who are the fans and the creators who've come in because of what they learned from you maybe, and let them have that. We didn't need me going, 'Well, the G-Man wouldn't do that in my day.'"[6] Laidlaw also said he had tired of the FPS genre and of solving storytelling problems in a Half-Life-style narrative. He said he had "always hoped that we'd stumble into a more expansive vocabulary or grammar for storytelling within the FPS medium, one that would let you do more than shoot or push buttons, or push crates"
>>725956518>gordon speaksnever ever>time travelborealis has to have it, but I doubt there will be fatalist bullshittery>cliffhangereh>someone else becomes the MCnever ever
>>725954601It's too late at this point.The fans of Half Life are boomers now, most don't even have time to play the game if it even comes out, gen Z and Zoomers couldn't care less because it's a not a flashy game with funny dances and gatcha features.
>>725956518>half life 3 comes out>trillions of copies sold on launch>greatest videogame ever made>story is a rollercoaster of emotions>gameplay is impeccable and genre redefining>ends with the perfect climax>at the very end, before the credits roll, we zoom out of gordon's first person view into third person>gordon freeman looks at the camera and utters his first and only spoken word>nigger
>Forza signed on to Valve just to do HLX's vehicle handlingexcited for the buggy sections of the game Gordon needs to free his buggy from Combine captivity after it was stolen at the Lighthouse part to Nova Prospect
>>725956704Yeah everyone was saying how Earth is fucked because the Combine drained all the water and destroyed the biosphere but the setting literally has humans as the only ones with in-universe travel (combine need to cross universes) so they're poised to start colonising the rest of the galaxy/universe. Legit doomers.
>>725954601valve just said they aren't working on any games. it actually makes the VR headset less than worthless.
>>725956795>The fans of Baldurs Gate are boomers now, most don't even have time to play the game if it even comes out, gen Z and Zoomers couldn't care less because it's a not a flashy game with funny dances and gatcha features.
>>725956309Wednesday next week. There's a long gap in sales events and fests after the current Animal Fest and people are guessing that means they're reserving the front page for HL3. Problem with that theory is front page banners are for game releases, and HL3 isn't going to get fucking shadow dropped even though that would be extremely funny.
>they still give a shit about the story after this
>>725955521souless
>>725956518>Someone else becomes the MC 2 hours into the gameENTER
>>725957025Yeah, ain't looking forward to nu-valve woke writing.
>>725956946RPG's will always be popular, story based FPS not so much.
>>725956938They didn't say that. They said they aren't making any launch titles for the consoles.
>>725956518>>725956896small thing but for me it would be>no Portal referencei mean we already know the world is safe hundreds of years in the future no?
>>725957191Even if that were the case, then that still makes the VR headset sales plummet. There's already a massive games drought for VR for years. I guess the VR tranny gooners will have a slightly more comfortable headset though.
>>725954601Did something else stir up the HL3 posting?I've been seeing it way more than usual today, even while considering all the steambox easter eggs.
ENTER
>>725956451>only 1% of the 1% of linux users can actually play itTerrible idea from a business standpoint
>>725956896>the Combine drained all the water and destroyed the biosphereThe water is still there by the time Combine get fucked (There are entire chapters on the shore for fucks sake) and at the very least the birds are still there.
>>725957315I'm pretty sure they just don't want to commit to having something ready for Q1 of next year when the hardware launches
why was Freeman so strong and capable anyway?
>>725956451I legit think Valve might do this, they already have all the money, all their steam products are basically just a way to shill SteamOS

>>725957269Portal is an alternate universe
never played 1 and 2should i play them? knowing Valve, they will probably make it so you don't have to have played them to understand HL3, for the zoomers like me, and for the millions of copied they will sell
>>725957530well, he's only as skilled as the player. try to remember your first playthrough if you can. I was getting pulped left and right. constantly hugging corners with low health.
>>725955142>Left 4 Dead with cosmetic cases for Survivors, Infected, and weapon skinsWould be fucking terrible. Also what the hell would a Portal 3 even be about? People keep begging for this but seriously what else is there to do? Chell already escaped at the end of Portal 2.
>>725957645ENTER
>>725954601Happy for you but i wont play it.
>>725957415>Terrible idea from a business standpointIt's not about the moneyIt's about spiting Microsoft as hard as possible
>>725954601Who gives a fuck, valve has been a microtransaction/loot box generating company since tf2 went f2p, they don't have it in them for a good single player game anymore>muh hl Alyx No one wants VR shit
>>725955142and it's one game
So this sticky was pointless?????
>>725957731No it isn't. At least Portal 1 isn't.Valve eventually decided it was a mistake to make Portal and Half Life in the same universe which is why Portal 2 is set like 10,000 years after the events of HL2 so they can get away with it whilst still being "canon" to Half Life.So aperture science, the turrets, portal guns, glados, cave johnson. All that shit is canon to Half Life.
>>725957815Yes both games got modern updates in the last 2 years. The story is OK but irrelevant as its a gameplay focused series that demonstrates novel experiences in video games, which is the reason there hasn't been a new game in 20 years.
what if its made with Unreal engine? can't imagine the source engine being 2025 worthywhat if it looks like shit because they made it in 2010?
>>725957959Epistle 3 is still the canon ending from the original writers. Alyx and anything else is fanfiction trash
>>725957959For the last time, Marc Laidlaw was not even employed by Valve when he made this. He even said it wasn't what Valve was cooking at the time, it was just one of the ideas floating around before he left that he extended.
You wouldn't let him die, would you?
>>725957972>demonstrates novel experiences in video games, which is the reason there hasn't been a new game in 20 years.maybe thats why they are releasing 3, because they have some new tech, like mirrors and water
>>725957905Considering that they cucked out and took away steam support on win7 even though the microshart "updates" and "support" don't change a god damn thing from the standpoint of security and functionality I highly doubt that they'll ever do anything to spite their jeet overlords
>>725958013The game never got made so no one knew what the story would be, that shit was just a draft and Laidlaw himself said he was fucked up at the time and regrets it.
>>725957815Half Life plays great now post-update. And HL2 can also be twiddled and tweaked with lots of quality of life mods and better animations if you want. HL2 is still fun I don't care what anyone says. Half Life is also fun but you must remember both games have different styles of combat.
>>725956852I just hope that you actually see your hands on the wheel this time.It bugs me that the game tried to be as immersive as possible and then has Gordon controlling the car with telekinesis
>>725957973>what if its made with Unreal engine? can't imagine the source engine being 2025 worthy>what if it looks like shit because they made it in 2010?Source engine 2 has been used for a decade now for Dota 2, CS2, Alyx, DeadlockHL3 would probably be a new version of that engine, or just straight up Source 3
>>725957973retard>>725958216retard
>>725957973I can't imagine how uninformed you have to be to think Valve would ever use Unreal.
>>725956518>sprint meter>long vehicle sections>fight metrocops or combine soldiers for 80% of the game>occasionally get stuck in a room for five minutes while NPCs yapBasically if it's anything like HL2, then fuck it
>>725958212The controlling weapons part of HL2 are so barebones. The tau cannon is so shit, why even use it when you're mostly just running over antlions and combine anyway and it's 100% more fun?
>>725958168what he like posted it in a drunken rage? Anyway, it makes more sense than nuAlyx with her magical infinity gloves and lightning powers.
>>725956518yellow paintstory focusednothing innovativejust mediocre all around
>>725957191They didn't say that either. They said they weren't working on any VR titles.https://www.roadtovr.com/valve-no-first-party-vr-game-in-development-half-life/
WHERUS GORDON!?WHERUS DA FREEMAN!?
>>725958362He posted it because he felt alone and depressed and regretted it not long after. It's quite sad honestly.
>>725958429valve does not do yellow paint and they will not release a half life game with no innovation
>>725956518>>725957027not on my watch
>>725956674>>725958362>>725958479i thought he left Valve in good terms no?
Epistle 3 is relying on ideas from Laidlaw's canceled Borealis VR project from 2015 anyway, if we actually got Episode 3 in 2008/2009 the story would've been different from it.
>>725958216>or just straight up Source 3Source 2 has been a WIP this entire time. All those games you mentioned were basically just projects used to further develop the engine. They're not going to start on a new engine right as they're finally finishing the one they have now.
>>725956518Steam Deck: Unsupported
>>725955142And it's all 20 dollars, in the form of a Green and Purple Box
>>725955142>orange box 2 with all thesewe'd be back on a level never before seen
>>725958504true, valve does white paint instead
So HLXs main innovations are mostly about liquids and gravity parameters, right? So liquids now will have many different properties that can affect whatever is submerged in it. Like oil or gasoline or toxic waste or something like that. Remember those also valve puzzles and cinder block puzzles? Imagine that but it's teaching the player that gasoline will make wood super flammable or something.
>>725958504what can you even innovate though? revolutionary enemy AI? players wouldn't want thatmore realistic physics?
>>725956518I hope to god they don't try to reveal the mystery of the G-Man.
I never liked how pristine the "Wasteland" was outside of City 17.You'd think with the foreign Xen flora it'd just be a nightmare out there since the Combine is only actively protecting the cities.It'd look more interesting if it was just a mini Xen out there and also give the idea that "well the Combine is bad but they're also protecting humans from the aliens"
>>725958694>players wouldn't want thatwhy not?>more realistic physics?gabe doesn't care about realism for the sake of realism
>>725958761no one that worked on HL1 and 2 is working on 3Gabe is looking at corals right now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHhceHdpkcI
>>725958751Europe was the least affected and was relatively normal compared to the US which is an actual wasteland in the games.
Just how well treated and paid are Valve employees that so little gets leaked from there?
>>725958751Valve did this because originally the wasteland was meant to be an actual wasteland and it looked shit.
>>725958842>no one that worked on HL1 and 2 is working on 3That's blatantly false, especially if you count those who worked on HL2 first.
>>725958898>universe crossing master race has trouble conquering a world barely out of the steam and coal eramy favorite sci-fi trope is something like that, when aliens go:>oh fuck humans are warring asshole oh no they got hold of out tech
>>725958751Because the wasteland concept is visually boring as hell.
>>725958928>so littleeven valve employees are getting loose lipped nowI've already seen like 4 instances of valve employees or hirees just saying they've worked on HL3 without saying "HL3". Referring to games with elements that have not been seen in any Valve game but have been mentioned in the datamines of HLX (gravity elements etc.)
>>725958928around 80-90 people work on hl3 and they're all high iq individuals that make a shit ton of money, no point in leaking footage and sabotaging the coolest project you worked on but also possibly your career forever
>>725956518>end of the game>barney and alyx there>gordon clear his throat>"about that beer you owed me">cut to credits
>>725956518The revolver sucks and no double chamber shot for the shotgun
Tyler Mcniggers last HLX datamine video is being uploaded today or tomorrow.
>>725959291>>725959106so what kind of new innovative tech will there be in the game?
I don't want Gordon to say one word because I have no headcanon for what he sounds like. To me Gordon is just a mute laboratory assistant who is brain-raped with PTSD and morphine.
>>725959291Nothing in that video will be new information.
>>725959229Kino.
>>725959360alyx jumps out of the screen and sucks your dick
>>725957269Wait what? How does Portal mean it's safe?>>725957423There's still water but there's a lot of it missing.
>>725959092isnt combine so weak because they deployed basically shitty forces, and also every universe has different laws of physics so they dont know how to teleport locally on earth?
>>725959360Well it will be the first PROPER source 2 game so there's that.Also everyone has already mentioned the fluid and gravity properties. It will also have limited procedural generation and "open area" chapters. Not open world, just open area - I'm guessing the player will be able to choose different paths toward the end of each chapter.
>>725959229I NEED TO KNOW NOW, KNOW NOWCAN YOU LOVE ME AGAIN?I NEED TO KNOW NOW, KNOW NOWCAN YOU LOVE ME AGAIN?CAN YOU LOVE ME AGAIN?
>>725955142imagine
>>725959484presumably because portal 2 ends with Chel looking out at a farm
>>725959360Leaks mention a lot of physics shit. There's a lot of stuff on gravity, some strings about deformable props, elasticity, plasticity, wind, and basic thermodynamics with fire and fuel.
>>725959428Yes but he refines it and that's good for morons like me.
>>725959468sold>>725959428it never is retard, mcnigger just regurgitates shit actual dataminers find
>artifact, deadlock, underlords, alyx>still thinking HLX will be good
>>725959592what if its just autonomous aperture robots operating a farm for hundreds of years for no reason
>>725959605>There's a lot of stuff on gravity, some strings about deformable props, elasticity, plasticity, wind, and basic thermodynamics with fire and fuel.if something like that will end up working properly on a medium rig, then it means modern devs are niggersdoes Valve allow use of their engine to third parties?
I WAS THINKIN BOUT HERTHINKIN BOUT METHINKIN BOUT USWHAT WE GON BEOPEN MY EYES YEAHIT WAS ONLY JUST A DREAMSO I TRAVEL BACK DOWN THAT ROADWISH YOU COME BACKNO ONE KNOWSI REALISE YEAHIT WAS ONLY JUST A DREAM
>>725959794Some people think Valve might finally release a proper Source 2 SDK with HL3. We'll see.
>>725958959>>725959102It doesn't have to look like the desolate barren wasteland from the beta, just be overrun with Xen, or even just in the process of it. Anything to make it look different from some unfitting stock asset forest in whats supposed to be the alien apocalypse
I want to remind everyone that picrel proves that Gordon wins in the end
>>725955142Where's tf3 though
>>725954601Whatever happened to that dude who leaked Epistle 3?
>>725959794it is trivial to make it work and have it be optimized, no studio did it because they dont know how to tie it with good gameplay and they are mostly low iq indians in studios that are pressured by shareholders so they just deploy the same ue5 slop
>>725954682We already know it's flatscreen.
don't go too far down the portal path, valveturrets, the odd companion cube, a cave johnson announcement and a few references. NO PERSONALITY CORES in my half life games okay thank you.
>Meanwhile in stasis...https://youtu.be/M_4Ot9K2LM4?si=QuSk2bCtFrwGEwSY
>>725959794>if something like that will end up working properly on a medium rig, then it means modern devs are niggersSay what you will about the game itself but the fact that Tears of the Kingdom's physics work on a fucking Switch is already proof of that.
>>725956451I'd unironically kneel and make a Gabe sanctuary in my house
>>725959794>does Valve allow use of their engine to third parties?it hasn't been yet since Source 2 is a wip, but they've historically licensed the source engine (VTM:B, Dark Messiah, Titanfall) so it's not unlikely
>>725959898Either the Combine gave water back to Earth or its just a stock photo that means nothingValve clearly hated the idea of tying the game to Half Life. For god's sake they made the game take place 50,000 years in the future just to distance it from anything
>>725959898of course humanity wins, G-man wouldn't exist otherwise it's like Interstellar, we saved ourselves by stealing the Combine universe jump tech
>>725957367I genuinely liked his VA.
He's coming.He's coming.He's coming.
Can't wait to play it on my PS5 Pro.
this is a BLUE SHIFT boardno apposing force nerds in this thread
>>725960016I hope there's a mandatory Wheatley cameo just to annoy you.
>>725959898no, because the water was barely drained, see coastal levels in hl2, you would not see a difference from space (even if the cities are raped and its all mostly a wasteland, you do not see those details from the moon)
>>725957367YOU
>>725959898I don't think they ever considered HL's canon when making Portal 2's ending, but:>the flag hasn't turned white, even in the far future (Portal 2 was probably only in ~2030 going by the hidden relaxation chamber texture)You could schizotheory that this isn't really the moon, because that doesn't make any sense.
>>725960110I did too.HDTF isn't entirely dog shit. It's just a mind-numbingly confusing mix of good and garbage assets. The fucking stark difference between the professional VA voicing Mitchell and the factory worker with a dollar store microphone who mumbles through every line is outstanding.
>>725960168hey buddy you missed
>>725959540>Edge of Tomorrow endingKino, but please no time travel in my games thank-you very much
>>725960096Humans can literally just open up a portal to some other planet that has water and transport it back home until they've had their fill. Or just move to an entirely new planet.
will we visit aperture in hl3?
>>725959490I don't think Combine have local teleportation tech period, otherwise they wouldn't be salivating so much for Earth's tech. But yeah, they left behind a garrison force of mostly conscripted locals, Eli said that if another portal to their homeworld opens, humanity won't last 7 seconds
they can add a personality core to the borealis, but only if its the adventure core.
>>725960023https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYUvI95vylo
>>725959229>unironically mfw HL3 ends with Barney and Gordon having a beer
>>725960408I don't think a fat ass is what our benefactors are looking for in the transhuman overwatch.
You can tell this series is for ancient people because this thread is incredibly comfy, poised and the people articulate (well except me).The screeching retards probably haven't even seen this thread on the catalogue.
So like after the Combine's defeated, people are totally gonna lynch the old Black Mesa staff like Kliener, Magnusson, etc right?
>>725960175FUCKED
>>725960260Yeah having half the cast be youtubers recording in their closet was certainly an interesting choice
>>725960023>Meanwhile in stasis...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an-8GCwLxbY
>>725956451The meltdown this would cause would be insanely funny.
If HL3 gets announced I will clap my hands, jump around my room like a horny chimpanzee and jump onto my desk chair and hold the handles and jump up and down on it squatting then I will punch the air then I will play the prodigy out loud and keep chimping out
>>725960548Don't worry, HL3's announcement will definitively end that.
>>725960571It was because the guy who made it had no idea what he was doing. He didn't even pay the voice actors any money.
>>725960408does it mean the true Combine are some other alien race we have yet to see? Like in that old Argentinian comic "El Eternauta"
>>725958312>AR game pokemon go type game you can only play through the Gaben Glasses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfMl0kXFmiE
>>725957830more portalsmore puzzles
Carbon stars with ancient satellites colonized by sentient fungi. Gas giants inhabited by vast meteorological intelligences. Worlds stretched thin across the membranes where dimensions intersect... Impossible to describe with our limited vocabulary!
I can't give a logical reason why but HL2 physics-based puzzles aged terribly
Do you want HL3 to be more down to earth and just focus on saving your little personal garden, or something more ambitious like taking the war to the Combine and fucking up their dyson sphere empire?
>>725958734The Alyx gman is like a different character, they fucked it up already
>>725961001Yeah I watched Tylers stream about this yesterday. He seems to have been wooed over by this guys insider info and thinks the next few weeks might be it.
>>725954601lollmaoxd even
>>725961001Jesus christ I wish Valve would've sued Tyler into nonexistence when he streamed the HLA beta.
>>725961045It's not that they aged poorly, it's just they're really boring.I get it, they're trying to tell the player how the physics engine works and according to the dev commentary the average playtester is the biggest moron on the planet but still. Fuck the valve water section of the game. Fuck that. Fuck the battery puzzle at Highway 17.
>>725961075trying to fight the actual combine empire is like 1 ant vs a human. they are too powerful, the forces on earth are nothing
It’s gonna be a 10/10 and /v/ will shit on it for contrarian points but that won’t matter.
>>725956976>Problem with that theory is front page banners are for game releaseshonestly, HL3 is so big that even an announcement that it is real and will release at some point would be bigger than any game release i could imagine (and yes that's including GTA6) so i could see them doing an exception for itthey do own the platform, after all>and HL3 isn't going to get fucking shadow dropped even though that would be extremely funny.i wouldn't put it past valve to do that lol
>>725961181Tyler strikes me as a lolcow, surprised he hasn't trooned out yet
>>725961181it would be retarded for them to do that though, it'd end up a Streisand Effect
I want Gordon to inexplicably blow up the Shu'ulathoi with his bare hands.
>>725961334do you know how many sci-fi stories like that end up with humans winning anyway? get nuked nerdlook at Mass Effect aliens when they encountered humans
>>725961038Too bad we're never getting this kind of writing from the Portal and Walking Dead writers that are doing HL3
>>725958312>>long vehicle sectionsthis is guaranteed, you'd know if you knew about the leaks
https://youtu.be/Mygp9rqUEKcITS OUT
>>725961038>Breen says "fungee"heh
>>725961471Erik Wolpaw worked on the Episodes
>>725961390>(and yes that's including GTA6)come on anonthe world is full of kids and thirdies that don't even know what Valve ismost played games in every single country are fifa, maddens, cod and GTA
>>725961075Didn't they close the only portal in episode 2? The Combine will NEVER EVER be able to find Earth again, Gordon just needs to wipe out the remaining forces.
>>725960408I dont get the thing about teleporting between universes. Does that mean they conquer earth in many universes? If they can't do local teleportation does that mean they only teleport to the same location in every universe? Is the portal from the citadel going to Combine Earth?
Half Life triple will be the Breath of the Wild of FPS.Everyone will take notes.
THERE GOES MY HEROWATCH HIM AS HE GOES
what if the combine are humans from a far future?
It’s gonna be the AI game.
>>725961730He gets a new HEV suit in 3 right, this suit is fucked.
>>725961730Do you think he smells bad?
>>725954969>oldMassacre oldheads NOW NOW NOW NOW
>>725961967Gordon gets a new body.
>>725961915procedural generation, but no AI.
>>725962057RIP
>>725962030From Gordons perspective he hasn't slept, showered or eaten anything in like a week.
>>725961967It's so cool how it works in Dark IntervalThey go with the idea that Kleiner didn't have enough resources to really repair the old Mark IV so it's breaking down in game. The voice lines glitch out a lot and end up sounding really creepy, like if you fall from a big height it goes "WA-WARNING PAIN ADMINISTERED"
>>725961584at the very worst, most kids still know about HL because of skibidi toilet
>>725962050This is bullshit.This was emailed to Tyler years ago and even he thinks it's bullshit.Also>2013Since the original HL3 was scrapped this definitely no longer in the new game.
>>725962146He may have slept in the rubble before Dog dug him out at the start of Episode 1
>>725962234They should put in a Skibidi mode like Nazi Zombies
>>725962265People still keep bringing up procedural generation from the canceled HL3 in 2013
>>725955142maybe a little too much hopium...
>>725962232I'm really annoyed the HEV suit doesn't have the same amount of interactions with the player that it does in HL1 and Black Mesa. Maybe they thought it was too annoying? I never thought that. I like the HEV suit telling me that I'm going to fucking die and that I need to steal random orange sodas from the vending machine.
>>725962057>>725962102It is procedural spawning, that HL3 has. Nothing is being generated, just spawned. It's all authored by level designers. The best example is they have a building somewhere, using procedural entities they can make it so when in-game, the building's windows can be boarded up or broken, and it will be different each time. A level designer could make it so either a door spawns unlocked, or locked forcing you to break in through a window, or with no door at all and to get in you have to break some boards in the way. In addition to this, they could make the contents of the house different each time, maybe items spawn, maybe zombies spawn, maybe a mix of both spawns. All in positions and places that the level designer has selected for these to spawn at. All the game does is choose where and what spawns procedurally, based on how much what they spawn 'costs' and what the spawner's spending limit is. And it can spawn pretty much anything too, so it's very flexible. That's how it works.
>>725961261I always liked the "Drag the floating barrels underwater to use their buoyancy to raise a ramp" puzzle. It's the cleverest any physics puzzle gets in Half Life 2 or the Episodes. It's not their fault that so many people, including (you), lacked the critical thinking skills to put the pieces together.
they'll be a headcrab zombie in a toilet bowl in one of the chapters and that will be the skibidi reference and it will be on every single easter egg list youtube channel
>>725956976They announced pre-orders for Alyx the same way. They published the trailer at the same time.
>>725960016HL: Alyx already had the Portal's quirk chungus humor sadly, I doubt HL3 will be different.
>>725962492>"Drag the floating barrels underwater to use their buoyancy to raise a ramp"It's clever but I hated it. I hated it because it meant I had to get out of my hovercraft. I don't want to get out of my hovercraft.
>>725956518My biggest worry is that they didn't listen to the criticisms of Alyx.
Honestly I am only here to watch them not release it and watch all the crying.
>>725962610Eh. It was a bit overbearing at times but Russell and the funny Vorts didn't feel as jarring as GlaDOS, the Portal 2 announcers or Wheatley. There's a time and a place.
>>725962610Nothing Russell did was as egregious as Greggs and Sheckley in EP2.
>>725962743The game is content locked and they're working on/finishing the trailer. Even Schreier said that HL3 will get announced this year, i don't like him personally but he is as legit as it gets
Beta leaks 1 day early and Gabe scraps the whole thing
>>725962743I'm here to watch it get announced so all the doomers can cope.
>>725957423Do you not wonder why the piers on that map are about 30m above the actual waterline, anon?
I know I've made it this long but I am simply counting the minutes at this pointThree more days (or so) until we finally see it. I can't fucking wait
>>725954601I will be coming when it gets announced, it'll break my NNN streak
>>725962886I'm raising my hopes up for the 18th. But if it doesn't happen I'm going to become a husk until the game awards.I DO NOT want to fucking watch 4 hours of the fucking game awards just for the vain hope, like last year, that Gabe will fart on stage and announce Half Life 3. Please let it be the 18th. FUCK the game awards.
BRING HIM BACK
>>725960806Unknown. The original "founder" species of the empire might be long extinct or so subsumed by technology that they might as well be, we just don't know. I like the idea of the Combine being an organic paperclip maximizer, a runaway empire that just expands and consumes for the sake of expansion and consumption, micromanaged by computers and layers upon layers of bureaucracy, trudging along through sheer inertia of its gargantuan size, with nobody even really in charge or remembering why or what for the entire bloated machine exists>>725961703Afaik it's not parallel universes with different timelines or any of that capeshit crap, the Combine are multidimensional, meaning they are from different dimensions that have different laws of physics. Their teleporters can create portals between dimensions, but not within a dimension (And they need to be established within a dimension to make a portal, like with a Citadel). So their tech is very limited and monstrously energy hungry. The portal in Ep2 would simply lead to the Combine homeworld in their dimension, they have multiple citadels there that probably link to all the citadels on all the conquered planets in other dimensions
>>725962886counting the minutes to what? a random date you came up with?
will they give us kino like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWRoQzQNLOU
>>725960348I expect the Aperture turrets to show up as enemies, and maybe the Weighted Storage Cubes for physics puzzles, but any more Portal pandering might be too much
>>725963130yes.

Portal Gun combat
>>725958694Aside from the obvious NPC AI shit and physics, the leaks contain shit like voxel destruction, liquid physics and gravity manipulation.
Please tell me the gravity features for HLX are for a gun. An ACTUAL gravity gun? Please.
>>725963663working hard on hl3 right now
>>725960408>forcefields held up by basic generators>Raggedy fortifications on top of original buildings>MP7s, SPASes and USPs with pulse rifles being rare>Humans and aliens being shoddily converted into basically robots instead of proper automatons i like how you can make it out that combine are pretty resource starved themselves if you think about it long enough. They may be more advanced, but not much richer than humanity.
>>725963663He probably doesn't want to be so negative. He laments on 2 during that playthrough, such as saying the dynamic supply crates that give you whatever ammo you're missing were a mistake
>>725963580Performance optimization, please understand
>>725963865The original conception for the Combine was that they were resource starved, and that's why they invaded Earth. I'm not sure if that's much of a relevant plot point in the retail game, though.
>>725963457Context of that pic?
>>725963914>mfw
>>725957959That was the death of the original HL2 Episode 3 and Laidlaw's rough draft (i.e. what Project Borealis is trying to fulfill), later confirmed by HL2's anniversary.What we're getting is a sequel by new devs to HL:Alyx's retcon where Eli survives Episode 2's ending. Split-timeline scenario.

>>725964285definitely not on release
>>725957327Reputable leakers and dataminers figured out that Valve was working on new hardware, alongside a new entry in Half Life that is a sequel to Half Life 2. We got the hardware part, but we've yet to see an announcement on the game part. It's only a matter of time.
wake up and smell the asses

>>725964908i forgot about this completely, man im so excited for hl3 environments
>>725964992They fucking better.
My main hope is that they retcon the combine to be more fun like they were in Alyx, like how they could taunt youSay what you will about them being "too wacky", the combine in 2 is fucking boring since they have absolutely zero personality
>>725964992he died offscreen in ep2
>>725964908Those computers using rat brains as CPUs were so cool
The space time continuum fucks up and you get to play out every version of Half Life 3 they’ve come up with so far in one game
>>725964995>fishing for ammo in toiletsgreat half-life game m8
>>725964229They certainly would go chop chop on the tits, so no jiggle physics there. But it's 2025, so Valve can just leave a jiggling fat ass without violating the lore while appeasing the modern gamer
Mike. Do not fuck up the music in this game.

>>725964908>Uses near to none of that advanced retarded tech everyone else keeps pushing in the industry>Absolutely mogs the fuck out of all the games that came after it with this scene alone in both looks and performanceWouldnt it be funny if volvo released source 2 like how it did with source 1 back in the day and dethroned UE for good with new sourcejank rennaisance?
>>725964992The end scene is sitting around a campfire after everything went down and we saved a word and Barney hands you a beer saying "Told you I get you one Gordon." then smiles roll credits
>>725965170im still coping that they brought back kelly for this one
Half Life music should just sound like the prodigy that is where you look for inspiration if Mike has no clue how to do it.

>>725965229I mean depends on what you mean by dethrone, because if you mean be more popular that's never happening. If you mean some jankkino being made, maybe that's possible
>>725965207Oh no, don't you start that "Afag, Bfag" shit again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9nocjg2OLIGordon enters a wide chamber once used to observe experiments. Now, observation windows are spiderwebbed with cracks; banks of monitors hang lifeless, screens frozen with static or burned-out entirely.He moves slowly among overturned chairs and abandoned clipboards. Papers flutter in a faint current of stale air, progress reports, calibration charts, coffee-ringed memos - ghosts of a place that once hummed with purpose.A single workstation still glows dimly, its display cycling aimlessly. Gordon watches it, its flicker reflecting in his visor. The blue-white light paints him in loneliness.
>>725962146I'm surprised his glasses stayed intact after all of that.
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.
>>725965682That’s what you get for having shit taste in video games

can the HEV suit jack you off? asking for a colleague
>>725965682Card game? What are you, gay?
>>725965786Yeah, and the gabecube has an onahole accessory for immersion.
what do theoretical physicists even do? try to explain why shit like black holes exist?
>>725963865They're just cheap as fuck and autistically efficient. They love trains not just because of the 'tism, but also because why bother dragging across dimensions your own local transport solutions, when the apes you conquered already laid out all the tried and tested infrastructure that perfectly works in its environment and laws of physics.Imagine taking a fighter jet to another planet that has half the oxygen, 10% higher g, 25% higher atmospheric density and as a bonus 1% sulfuric acid. You would have the redesign the entire fucking thing from the ground up. So the Combine just do the cheap, easy way and reuse solutions made and perfected by the locals. Very smart
>>725965897they push buttons and move carts with interdimensional crystals
ALIEN SWARM. TWO!
>>725965123It's kinda dumb, because they basically can't make/repair their tech without importing alien shit from Xen. And now without portal they are completely fucked.
>>725965897They have a theoretical degree in physics
>>725965897they sit around doing chems while pretending to fix a solar power plant
>>725965897>>725965961Imagine getting a PHD and land a job at the best research facility in the USA only to become a research assistant who just pushes buttons and puts things into things. Maybe it's because he's so young. Or because he keeps fucking with the microwave.
>>725966109haha
How do you even make Combine dangerous again? We already fucked their Nexus and their best forces.
>>725966217He wouldn't put on the tie, so they put him on cart duty. Everybody wears the tie. Everybody.
>>725965298Mike did look up 90s electronic music and even used a bunch of samples from the era. It's just that he's too used to his usual style of composing when Kelly Bailey was a master of minimalism.
nnnNNNnnnGGGGGHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I genuinely would love to work at a place like Black Mesa. Even if it was just because they have their own tramline.
>>725966281Our* best forces, lorelet
>>725966281Because presumably Gordon will be on his own now because there were so few rebels at the Borealis when the Elites came.
>>725966438how the fuck was this done by gemini
>>725965419That or they take too long to grow (or that's impossible because of the suppression field)
>>725966124They teach theoretical physics to other people
>>7259546012 more years trust the plan!
>>725966441>deep underground for 12 hours a daySounds shit and soulless
>>725965496Compensating for being right?
>>725966683Nah sounds fun. Even the biggest company building in America isn't that big, it's just a big warehouse for building planes. And they don't have their own private train for employees.
>>725966441It's all fun and games until you take the wrong step somewhere and plummet to your death because they consider OSHA regulations to be mere suggestions
>>725966607Theoretically.
No one currently on this board has even played Half-Life>inb4no you haven't

>>725966281Maybe all combine forces on the planet decide to converge at the borealis. They're kind of fucked up by this point, but we only ever fought city 17 forces in the game, not the entire planet's worth.
>>725967114They can't maintain their synth tech without combine world, it's literally half aliens.

GTA VI delayed for Half Life 3.
>>725965618I always wished Episode 3 would have some kind of evidence of GLaDOS. Either footage constantly repeating in a abandoned security room of her slaughtering the scientists or maybe a part of her in the Borealis killing both Resistance and Combine alike while taunting each side.
>>725961045All of HL2 has the same problem:it's not fun to play a second time. Valve play testing into perfection probably blinded them to this? It's a game full of party tricks, which they then repeat over and over (strider and gunship boss fights.) to pad out the game. HL2 is great but there needs to be a mod to skip all the physics puzzles and boss fights.
Welcome to Half Life Thre-Thre-Thre-Thre-Thre-Thre-Thre *water_splash.wav*
>>725957830this is my issue when people ask for portal 3.there's nothing left to do.if portal 2 really does take place thousands of years after portal 1, there's nothing interesting to do on the surface, no half life 2 character interactions since they'd all be long dead.
See you fags in the sticky

>>725968964Not the web as a whole, but shit like 4chan, reddit and twitter might go down for a while. Steam is practically guaranteed to.
Reminder that Gabe wanted Alyx to cuck Gordon in Episode 3
>>725956518>gordon speaksnah, cheaper not to have to hire a VA, or they do a joke trailer with ross scott doing the voice>fatalism time traveli've thought about how this would work, essentially stopping them from testing the xen crystal, but then again, the Gman would probably force it to happen no matter what.If valve is smart, they'll just work with what's happened and not try to revert it.>ends in cliffhangeri only see this happening if they try to do fatalism>someone else becomes the MCmaybe a halo 2 campaign where you get a gordon and alyx set of missions, but that's really all i see happening, if even.My biggest concern is the time travel shit. I hope valve sticks to the post-combine invaded earth setting, and don't try to reset it all and create a branched off timeline where everything turns out good.Let the established ideas, and built characters continue on.if humanity does somehow win against the combine, or at least cuts them off from earth, there could be a nice, bittersweet "we won, but now the real work begins" sort of thing.the first hopeful tone in this series.
>>725969857Thankfully everyone who worked on HL2 thought that was retarded because Alyx wants your dick almost instantly.
>>725969857That was when he was fat.
Did Steam go down when Alyx got shadow dropped? I know Alyx and HL3 are different but it still had HL3 levels of hype when the trailer dropped on steam.
>>725957269there's no evidence that it's "safe"we only see a view from the moon, then a wheat field.
>>725969857>>725970068How did Gordon gain weight in-between HL1 and HL2? Was it all the sodas he drank at Black Mesa to gain 1HP?

>>725970085No because Alyx didn't get shadow dropped.

Gman has become a drumph allegory… it’s over…
>mfw nothing happens on the 18th
guess who's streaming
>>725958132It wasn't about windows support itself, it was because chromium (the browser the steam client is based on) dropped support for it.>inb4 just maintain it yourselfBrowser engines are about on par with OS on complexity these days, the marginal amount of win7 users is not worth that, specially when they already are actively developing steam OS.
>>725970507I don't care.
>>725969967>or at least cuts them off from earthThis seems like the only "real" possible ending IMO, I feel like anything else will just come off as an asspull. I could see some cool ideas like permanently fucking up ALL teleportation. Whatever happens probably needs to come at serious cost though and not just "lmao Gordon ded."
if nothing happens on the 18th I will be sad
Game of the decade
If HL3 actually gets announced, I want to see mass denialfag seppuku.
>>725970581there's really no way for the resistance to actually defeat the combine with their level of tech.the only way possibly i could see them doing anything is maybe the vortigaunts amplify their power with the borealis (dont know how any of that would work) and use the vortesence to shut down teleportation across the universe so that the combine can't just teleport somewhere else and make their way back to earth.Though if the writers are stupid enough, they'll overpower the shit out of the vortigaunts and make them nigh god-like with the borealis, then have them shoot a kameha blast at the combine, or some millennial shit.
billions must hopebillions must believe in the freeman

>>725955142Call it the game box as a joke to the GameCube and gabox
>>725971082Anon this is a single player game. Valve has been developing HLX for 5 YEARS. It won't be bug ridden.
>>725970875You mentioning that sort of gets me thinking "all the Vorts die at the end" might be in the cards, I could see them making some mass sacrifice maybe. Hopefully not in a magic powers wipe out the combine completely sort of way though.I'm really just hoping for a mature and somewhat realistic and believable ending, whatever happens.
>>725971082it was never formally announced, other than valve employees mentioning it being worked on.
>>725971186i know laidlaw was being a bit of a bitch about his drunken epistle 3 post, but it's one of the more calculated and realistic endings.
>>725958216>Source 3LolOLGod I wishI can't believe source 2 is 6-10+ years old
>>725955142Meanwhile TF2 fans being abandoned for another decade:
>>725958216Game update strings show they've been doing massive development work on the engine. Compared to Alyx, HLX's branch of Source 2 might as well be Source 3.
>>725971490there is also something TF related in the works, but it's probably just a VR demo or some shit
>>725971490>he is unaware of the "tf" files
>>725970507Okay my copium is goneNigga just namedrops random people pretending that mutual gaslighting means something
>>725971490Are you not entertained by your seasonal slop updates?
>>725971579>VR demothat's what every leaker thought until valve said they're not currently developing demos it's not a demo anon
>>725957830>Also what the hell would a Portal 3 even be about?3 portals at once, obviouslywhat are you stupid?
>>725954601When this game releases I can finally rope
>>725956593>they call it "beer" or somethingkek
>>725971762
>Doomer Anon, I presume?
>>725971780Just like Portal 1 had 1 portal at once?
>>725956451I mean really, why not? We've entered a point in time where it's perfectly reasonable to classify Windows(11, and presumably up) as outright malware. Windows is *the* problem. Anyone still using Windows and enabling MS to push such a horrible product is part of the problem. Cutting them out of the loop is a valid strategy.
Welcome to Half Life 3! After 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
will half life 3 have aiming down sights
>>725972181let's hope not
>>725972181Gordon thinks aiming is for nerds.
>>725972181Valve isn't retarded enough to do that.
nothing ever happens.i feel bad for people who are getting hyped up for this.i won't believe in HL3 unless i get my hands on it
>>725972181yes also slides and vaulting
>>725957830>Dumbfuck didn't play co-op mode
>>725957959It was an interesting idea to be sure, but ultimately it can suck my dick. Gordon is going to push the Combine's shit in so thoroughly by the end of things that their assholes collapse into singularities.
>>725972181>>725972361There's this sick half life fangame that has all of this it's called Hunt Down the Freeman.
>>725972290>i feel bad for people who are getting hyped up for this. Why? It's genuinely real this time. I feel bad for sad joyless retards who can't get excited.
I am hoped-up enough to know HL3 is real but not hoped-up enough to believe the leakers who say random dates are when HL3 will be announced. 18th November is entirely based on Steam having a gap in its events and sales line up.
They should just do it tomorrow. 21 years to the date after HL2's release. Gabe knows it'll make it worth the weight
>>725971762oh fuggmaybe a src2 port?
>>725972870Maybe, or maybe it's literally TF3.
I dont want the hype to be over bros. It would be good to finally get it but then what after? All these years of waiting. It will feel weird not being able to joke about "HL3 confirmed" anymore. There is no other game that comes close. It will truely be the end of an era.
>>725956593wsl2
>>725972870Considering how crippled CS2 is compared to CSGO, I really don't want a TF2 Source 2 port.
>>725972548screencapping this and spamming it on the 'log december 1stsee you then :)
Remember that Deadlock was originally a Half Life game called Citadel. TF is currently a Team Fortress game but for all we know in a few years it might become a new thing.
>>725972908I just can't see them doing it without Rick May
>>725973074Have you played TF Classic? They could change the art style or set it somewhere else or in a different time period.
I still believe Valve can make good singleplayer games but not good multiplayer gamesLeave Team Fortress alone
>>725972987Well there's still Deltarune.
>>725973183TF classic wasn't as much as a sensation as TF2 was, it was really just a port of a quake mod at the end of the day. That doesn't mean they won't do it, but the fact they're still doing stuff for TF2 right now makes me think they aren't so willing to step away from the setting.
>>725973053>Remember that Deadlock was originally a Half Life game called CitadelAnd it would've been fucking glorious. Too bad...
>>725973051Hey, they at least will release a book.
>>725973349delta HUH??
>>725973001>crippledYou never played either.
>>725973507Shut the fuck up, retard. Half of CS:GO's content still isn't in CS2 and the move destroyed community servers and content.
>>725969260If you compare to Halo where although enemy composition is always the same, random shit can happen every time you play because the AI doesn't always do the same thing. Replaying a level, fights can go a different way to last time.HL2 there isn't even enough enemy variety to have things play out differently each time.
>mfw
>>725973713Nobody played Danger Zone or the other shit. Fuck off.
>>725973716After 200 hours I just started to get really optimized at killing enemies on hard.it's still fun.but you're right that Halo has more replayability. I have probably 1k+ hours on the Halo campaigns.
>>725972153There needs to be a good alternative to Office too. Every company is forced to pay the license fees for a product that has barely changed in 30 years. Same bugs same bullshit.
>>725968403Im so sick of that fat fuck
all of these "twitter journalists" are fucking retarded. they all hear rumors and then just vaguepost shit like "something big is coming" to pretend they have insider knowledge, then every time they're wrong they just deny and say it was something else. i even saw one retard, tom henderson, who is apparently well known for some reason say HL3 would be a steam machine exclusive.
>>725974247it's called libreoffice, anon
>>725974470except all of them predicted that the hardware would be announced last wednesday
>>725974505lmao
>>725974505>send client .odt file>anon I can't open this>coach them through Open With>anon I can't read this>the formatting is all fucked up
>>725972153>anyone still using windowsyou mean anyone who's not using mac? because software support from actual companies worth a damn dont make for linux?
>>725974849sounds like a skill issue
soul foodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtJl1wYFDwI#t=1h7m49s
They should make another Lab
>Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet>Breen was to mention the "Aleph universe" as the universe Eli and Alyx were to be sent; this might be referring to the Combine Overworld.What did GabeN mean by this?
Alyx must have full physical french kiss contact with me.
>>725974590No SadlyItsBradley did and they all copied him and made vague tweets. Bradley was the only person who had an actual source.
>>725972870>tf2 without air strafing, bhopping or any other cool movement mechanicsfuck that, you can rip source 1 from my cold dead hands
