where do you think city 17 is? solvenia? it looks almost austrian in episode 2
>>726040037Did they brought back the previous writers? I don't want the modern ones.
>>726040185>>726040259isn't HL2 ludicrously popular in eastern europe too? I feel like every other half life fan I find online always ends up being some flavour of slav.
I believe that HL is extremely overrated and it's only real strength is a mid tier sci-fi plot and being "first" to do some things in the game design space. I hope you all enjoy your sequel but I also think it's stunningly cringe to think that HL3 could/would>Break the internet>Be GotY>Revive the franchise and generate more sequelsBecause the hard fact is that the games only had value IN THEIR TIME AND PLACE. I even played HL2 only a couple years after it released and still found it unbearably boring and underwhelming so in my opinion it wasn't even that special AT THE TIME aside from the physics gimmicks. Just accept that this is that cool thing you liked when you were younger and try to divorce yourself from the way HL fans place the series on some sort of fucked up pedestal.
still not sure if I'm overdosing on copium or hopium
would be fucking hilarious if HLX is a sequel to the skibidi toilet game they made for the deck and takes 15 minutes to beat and is made as an introduction to the steam machine
>>726040319I think it helps that it can run on their ancient pcs.I doubt they're that excited for HLX

Viktor Antonov is dead
>>726040350ignore this anon, he has nothing useful to add to the thread and kept shitting things up last time
>>726040037Tyler, please kill yourself.
Uh we are seeing it on the 18th right? This level of hopium is dangerous if used for long periods of time
>>726040037i havent even finished hl2ep2
>tyler and gabe follower disagree on it being in the next few weeksI don't know who to trust anymore, maybe it is the fucking game awards after all
Please announce game at game awards.
>>726040464we're going till the game awards nigga
>>726040481Gnome got you down?
How would you feel if it ends up being a time travel plot to stop the Black Mesa incident? HL:A already set the precedent.
>>726040398Half-Life 1 is a far better standalone game in terms of actual gunplay and pacing. Half-Life 2 is known for Garry's Mod.
>>726040464I'm afraid it might not be.Are you prepared to spend several long weeks building up copium for something that might not be announced until Christmas? Are you ready for that?
>>726040483I haven't followed, where do they disagree?
>>726040319yes, cs 1.6 was huge here and through associaion it introduced me to hl1 / hl2
>>726040167eeeeeeeverywhere you go
>>726040167OUR HEAVIES ARE BURNING OUR HEAVIES OUR BURNING OUR HEAVIES OUR BURNING
>>726040584You know how a bunch of rando insiders and Insider Gaming said it might be next week? Well Tyler believes them after having private chats with them. But Gabe Follower has never heard of anything that seems to point at the 18th/next week but he does believe its still happening this year. Everythings confusing now.
>>726040483From what i've seen anyone reliable has either said this year or this month, nothing more.
>>726040545holy shit I hadn't thought of that anon, that would be genius. Perhaps not the whole game, but some aspect of the finale involving a return to black mesa would be ludokino desu
>>726040758I liked the one theory i saw an anon post that said it should have Gordon go back to the choice at the end of HL1 to face the "battle he has no chance of winning" only to actually win.
>>726040483>maybe it is the fucking game awards after all>>726038195
>>726040743yeah we should fall any deeper than just "this year"anything more will just set us up for disappointment
>>726040729Tyler has never been a reliable source. >b-but what about AlyxBroken clock ect. Throwing shit at the wall nonstop for years on end and finally something landing doesn't mean shit.
>>726040545evangelion anime-tier hollywood hack writing
>>726040826I don't think that's what he was suggesting - he wasn't saying you're literally going to return and fight that very same fight. He was saying that it might share the dyson sphere reveal from epistle 3, and then gordon would have to fight the combine head on in a way that MIRRORS that "battle you have no chance of winning" from HL1 only to win.
ITS SO FUCKING OVER, i'm physically ill
>>726040826If Epistle 3 is to be believed in any way and that the Borealis can break causality when why not just time travel back to Black Mesa at that point?
>>726040861That's a 6 week window. I got my hopium reserves all topped up, I can survive that
leaked (new gman)
oh so what if its next week or in December? Guys, there's less than one and a half months left of the year. We won't be waiting long.
>>726040932just because a lot of films have time travel plots doesn't make it inherently bad. something being a trope doesn't automatically make it shit. It's how you use the trope that matters.
November 19th, 10 AM PT
>>726040402City 17 is destroyed anyway.
>>726040545Sad. Time travel is always a detriment to any story, unless it's ENTIRELY focused on that, and HL already isn't
>>726040918He also talked about L4D3 well before Valve revealed they had cancelled it, mentioned CS2 years prior, mentioned Citadel/Deadlock prior to leaks and mentioned very specific things about Alyx such as the xen grenades, it being a prequel, story re-write, cremators that got cut etc.You don't have to like him or ignore that he's clearly an obsessed autist, but he absolutely had insider information.
>>726040993You are doing it to yourself.
Impressive twerk... Miss Vance...
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.
>>726041020it's bad writing more often than not because it's a side effect of you writing yourself into a corner
>>726040993
>>726041163I honestly can't describe how little I care about artifact. I don't even know what the game is or what the gameplay is.
Why did the G-Man let Alyx save Eli, who is someone who would want revenge on the G-Man for taking his daughter away?
If the next Half-Life game doesn't have DMM it will be funny considering that was one of the things people were hyping up back in the day.
>>726040993I like tyler better than this guy
we're ready valveshow us the goods
>>726040545it would be an 'it was all a dream' tier bullshit
>>726041251It's so that Valve could continue the plot in a way that Epistle 3 doesn't spoil maybe.
>>726041102Tyler (or one of his fanatics), you're a loser. You always have been. You fail to understand that just because somebody was working on something in a flat management company created cookie crumb clues, doesn't mean the game is being made. I get the only reason you do this is because you fill a void for a company that is secretive and you yourself can't compete in the 'game journalism' when attempting to tread outside of it, but christ shut the fuck up.
>another gay valve drone shill thread to hype over-priced troon hardware from a former game company that now exclusively sells skins >inb4 muh HLA tech demo to shill the VR>inb4 muh Dicklock DOTA 2 fotm battlepass skin seller v2
>>726041251The worm thingy would've absorbed all of Eli's memories, so basically everything related to Black Mesa, Xen, portal tech, every rebel base, etc. Gman wants the rebels to succeed in some capacity. I'm not sure why or by how much, but he has to have some skin in the game if he unleashed Gordon to destroy the Citadel.
Hi Gordon, my name is Neil Breen.You killed by identical but older twin brother Wallace. We were connected by a corrupt A.I hive mind and had very special super powers. The combine is planning to steal all the Earths water with mutant biological warfare plans. You are now free of PTSD.

>>726040318Laidlaw seemingly isn't involved with Valve anymore and just focuses on his music (which I like.) It looks like Wolpaw, Pinkerton, and the Firewatch guy are the new writers for Valve since they came in to 'fix' Alyx's story, and Wolpaw and Pinkerton have been in charge of writing pretty much everything outside of Half-Life for Valve anyways.
>>726041265Wait a minute, what if HL3 having it's own psuedo DMM type tech is why 3kliksphillip was talking about Star Wars The Force Unleashed recently?WHAT DOES HE KNOW?!?!?!
>>726040993Even when nothing happens, these threads will continue right up until the game awards as anons are desperate retards.
>>726040993I'm desperate too, but not desperate enough to support this entire parasitic economy of guys like him or tyler making money off people by saying platitudes

>>726041609Sounds like shit, glad they shitcanned itDie mad about it
if mcnigger is right and "they hope to get it announced before 2025 is over" then it absolutely is not happening this year because valve sucks fucking big glorious black rod at meeting deadlines that they "hope" to hit
Thread theme https://youtu.be/z7OaBsooTfQ
Guys. My copium is running out. I can feel it draining from my body.
>>726041014@grok is this real?
I wonder how many people died waiting for Half-Life 3?
>>726041726I don't care if it doesn't get released this year. I just need a 5 second tease.
>>726041713Artifact is not shit. It is excellent. Artifact’s expansions on Dota 2’s setting and lore were amazing. Peak soul. There were times I actually felt like I was commanding the epic fantasy battlefield the cards depicted. I’d never had that feeling from a card game before, not even Magic.When I looked at the menu, saw Jolixia’s caravan in the distance at night while the music took me, for a fleeting moment it felt like I was home.
>>726041609>digital card gamehonestly I just don't get people who enjoy this kind of shit. I love card games if I'm playing them in person with a normal deck of cards, but a digital card game is just so... eh.
>>726041285"This guy" is the one who feed mcnigger actual technical datamines and insides, only thing tyler does is making videos out of them.

>>726041671>I am a retarded trannyKill yourself retard.
>>726042071same tbqh
>>726040993Isn't this the same guy who said that Half Life 3 will be disappointing?
It wasnt really that bad.
>>726040993If it gets to the end of the year and they've announced prices and dates for the new hardware and they still haven't mentioned Half-Life then it's not happening. Surely they want it to help sell their new hardware, to get people who used to be PC gamers who may have gone back to consoles because of high GPU prices or whatever, back into their ecosystem.
>>726042083zoomie's mad that nobody talks about his latest shitty fotm lol
>>726042043I know hes lost a few, unsure if its all though, based on what he said it sounds like he still has some.He definately lost any official ties to Valve after he streamed that beta build of Alyx though, wouldnt be surprised if some of his sources decided to drop him after that too.
>red cope vs blue cope
>>726042249The real reason to hate this fag is him streaming it instead of anonymously leaking it
>>726042043That's right, after he streamed Alyx before the release like a retard he got blacklisted from insider circles
2010. That's when I finished EP2 for the first time. Since then, I've been waiting. The wait for HL3 has even prevented my suicide once. This time is different. I can feel it. It's happening bros.
>>726040319Yeah I love this series, idc about cs though
>2025>In Tyler McVicker's October 2025 installment of HLX Files (a video series he produces to round up information from datamining and leaks as well as his personal views on Half-Life related-news), he reported that the latest leaks of Source 2 code in Steam suggested that the game had reached a polish stage of development, with a focus on cleaning up the game for eventual release. McVicker speculated that based on rumors that Valve was preparing a trailer for the game, the game would launch within months of the trailer's release. However, given Valve's history, he tempered expectations, stating that his only strong belief was that Half-Life fans would receive something soon.The fucking Half Life wiki uses Tyler McVicker as a source for the development of the next HL game?

>>726040350True. Video games evolved so much ever since HL1 introduced sophisticated stories into gaming and the physics that came with 2. Everything new has been done about a decade ago. If HL1 or 2 came out today they will be average run of the mill games forgotten in a year or so.

Weren't there HL3 rumors around this time last year. I have a schizo conspiracy theory that Geoff Kieghley does this as a marketing ploy to get as many people as possible watching his award show.
>>726040318What problems did you have with Alyx? Please don't say the ending.
>>726043589True, even woke payment processors fear Valve's power
>>726043664yes both those were entirely baseless
>>726043664thats because last year the game also clearly existed (source code of their other games pointing to HLX)and then we saw gabes yacht heading to LA or some shit while the game awards were going om and everybody lost it
>>726040158>no idea where all the rumors about this week came from
I'm losing hope bros...
>>726041857The artwork seemed great and the reused music they used for Dota pack is my favorite, it's a shame they thought giving a $20 entry point for a fucking card game was a smart idea, especially when they even made CS:GO free around the same time, lol. Honestly, what were they thinking
>>726043409nu/v/ hates fun, it's all just twitter trannyllenials who shitpost about games they have never played
Half Life 3 will be announced when Ross finishes Freeman's Mind.
HDTF is officially better than CoD

I am gaining HOPE bros, send your energy to Valve NOW
>>726043120yes its mostly a waste of time, he talks about the new hardware, some obviously fake leaks on 4chan that were long since debunked, and some new strings at 4:50. about 7:00 he talks about potential announcement dates and says the gap in steam sales doesn't indicate an announcement and that the 18th idea came from reddit. at the end he says TF is getting more development and he's going to start a series called the "TF files".
>>726043973>says the gap in steam sales doesn't indicate an announcement>believing Tyler's liesHe's full of shit as usual, I still remember times when he deleted a bunch of his "leak" videos
>>726043936I missed something? HDTF is now ludokino misunderstood by plebs?
I can't stand being constantly told somethings coming when it just doesn't.HL3 being real and in development, I accept that, I hate waiting for it though. Ignorance was bliss.
We're like 2 years tops from being able to just AI-generate the entire game. One way or the other we'll get our fucking Half Life 3.
>>726044181There are new betas of the game released by rogue developers on its official steam page that have made the game considerably more fun to play.
>>726044181It's so terrible that it loops around to being good as long as you don't expect anything more than janky dogshit
>>726040037Liar
Valve wants you to suffer for your games so you need to hope and then doom and then hope and then doom again. Just like the real Gordo Fremun.
>>726044410>nope
guys I haven't been keeping up with Half Life news, but what's the deal with the "leaks"? I mean if there are leaks around from months ago (gorilla, xen ecc) isn't it clear the game is at least in development?

>>726044797well, it's at least wild to me that the game actually exists
What's up with this? Y'all cowards didn't even play Half Life Alyx.

Plot twist, it's actually the much anticipated Half Life movie, starring Ross Scott as Gordon Freeman

Okay, but what does the X mean?
>>726045172Gabe's personal bank account is not Valve's development budgetWell maybe it is actually nevermind
>>726045118Tyler was right to say that. When the hardware got announced by Valve people got upset because HLX was not announced. But the point was the hardware else was in the same datamines as HLX so it solidifies HLX being a real thing.
>>726045219It means a crossover.>Half-Life X Ricochet
>>726045219Xen, probably. Gravity is a part of this game according to the code.
>>726045219X for final (as in the final half life game)orX for number and if there is time travel back to black mesa the game is both half life 3 and half life 1
>>726045219Xtreme, like Dead or Alive Xtreme. They're making a beach volleyball spinoff of Half Life.
on a level between nothing ever happens and HL3 tomorrow where exactly are you feeling now cope wise?
>>726040483Tyler doesn't know shit and is repeating what others are saying. Why does anyone still listen to him?
HL3 is like Schrödinger's cat. Until it's out of the box it might as well not exist
>>726045219X marks the spot.>The Half-Life 3 activation keys? You can have them! But you'll have to search the world for them! I left them all in THAT place!

>>726044767>they cant make games anymoreB-b-but since Ep2 they made three multiplayer casinos and a spinoff for overpriced hardware!
Fabricated hype that also aligns with new Steam hardware releases? This is all just marketing to get more eyes and you guys are falling for it.
cheers man that really helps
>>726045139amazing graphics and gimmicks, but HL2 in VR is actually better
>>726040037Bro it's been almost 2 decades, I've read Episte 3. I'm no longer interested or invested in Half Life.
>>726044659Only if she's my commanding officer
>>726045640Why does he lie so much?
We won't know if Half Life 3 is good or not until DSP does his first stream. If DSP fails to meet the $150 tips goal, the game sucks and Valve is a stupid company filled with mouth-drooling morons who can't make good games.
So why are we having these threads? are they going to show us a trailer a few moment later?

>>726040350I think you're somewhat right. It feels like games just don't have that much left to explore in terms of ground breaking features/ideas, so the only thing that really makes a game feel groundbreaking is in terms of scope and attention to detail. I feel like GTA 6 is riding a LOT on those two factors and will likely outshine HL3 by a mile because, realistically, what could they possibly even do in HL3 that would shake the industry at its core and influence every other shooter from this point foward?Everything "leaked" so far is neat but ultimately comes off as just "oh that's kinda cool I guess", but maybe the application of such features just isn't clear to me at this pointWith that said, HL1 and HL2 were clearly ground breaking, especially in regards to the physics engine in 2, to pretend otherwise is just being a contrarian

ANON.YOU ARE IN PRISON.
Here's a very very very concise summary of actual real information taken directly from datamines of source 2 games since 2021+direct Valve info. Nothing from the info below are rumors or "insider info", its stuff directly leaked by Valve found in code from recent Valve games.>HLX is a desktop game, not VR>HLX is very heavily focused around simulation of physics and heat/electricity properties>HLX has a lot of Xen creatures and new versions of HL1/HL2 xen creatures>The player character used an HEV suit (zero mentions of gordon anywhere though)>Game has at least 3 different "type" of places/enviroments>Crowbar is in>Enemies use a system where they show real time damage on them caused by the player, just like how it was in the recent doom games
ANALYZE THE CHESS BOARD
>>726046937Have been listening to this nonstop since the hype started, hl3 better have Kelly as the main composer
Gordon should now get a laser crowbar and being able to properly fight melee
>>726043670Nothing, but as this is Half Life 3, I want some of the old timers to come back and continue their vision. The current writers at valve are fine I guess for other projects, but alone they cannot carry this game.
>>726046701This is so stupid
>>726046940>>726046930>>726046916>>726047098I hope they FINALLY get their head out of their ass regarding the music usage and make combat music loop properly instead of playing for a little bit. There are so many tracks that are wasted as shit due to how short they are for their segments.>>726046827https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpZzlU1wWR0&list=RDFpZzlU1wWR0&start_radio=1

>>726047482post it
>>726047184>HLX is very heavily focused around simulation of physics and heat/electricity propertiesI really hope it's not going to be a gimmick where on some three levels you can either flood a room to make enemies drown or set it on fire to make them burn.>HLX has a lot of Xen creatures and new versions of HL1/HL2 xen creaturesSource? I'm genuinely asking, because the only similar things I can remember are mentions of xen gorilla in the code and houndeye icon for some hammer editor function.
>>726042946>You are a doomtroon and Valve being able to mog the entire VR industry with Alyx shuts your shitty argument down instantly.No it doesn't lol. They simply did an RDR2 type thing where they budgetmogged everybody. >>726043096Wrong. >>726043253Exactly this. >>726046079> HL1 and HL2 were clearly ground breaking, especially in regards to the physics engine in 2,I would never pretend otherwise. It explains why some people overvalue them, because they've misconstrued how cool they were AT THE TIME with how good they are objectively now that there's games like Prey [2017] or Metro 2033 or even rad underrated gems like Singularity. I wish I had been able to onboard myself back in 2006 when I first tried HL2 but I really just didn't click at all. The hoverboat stuff dragged forever and the fabled Ravenholm didn't really even spark my interest much. I fell off in a time when the physics gimmicks were still "TECHNOLOGY"
>>726047482The what now?

>>726047547
>>726047604Xen Gorillas and some sort of xen flying....thing, are mentioned as new enemies, and aside from the houndeye icon thing, there's string mentions of houndeyes and barnicles.
>>726047184>>Enemies use a system where they show real time damage on them caused by the player, just like how it was in the recent doom gamesor L4D2wouldn't be surprised if it's the same system honestly, just improved

>>726047528I feel like Half-Life 2's formula was at its best in Episode 2, which is a shame because of how short it is. At least there ended up being a lot of mods and maps using Episode 2's assets and engine branch.
>>726047670Please understand, the highly pronounced glutes are very neccessary for jumping and evasive maneuvers
CHADrian GODhard!!!!
>>726047736I'd lose my fucking mind if we got to see my boy Adrian "Race X Fucking Shits" Shephard again. Opposing force was my favourite half life game till I played black mesa for a reason. The GOAT
>>726040396 I don't know, but HL2 is like only western game that feels auyhenticly post soviet space. Even Alyx feels fake.Fisrts stalker and hl2 got exact vibe. Metro and Atomic Heart lacks it.>>726040396 I hope my PC run HLX.

what was your reaction to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfMl0kXFmiE>my hopes and fears are in the hands of a bunch of youtube ""leakers""
>>726047860>I hope my PC run HLX.If this thing actually comes out, go ahead and crack HL Alyx with the no vr mode as a performance benchmark. There's a 0% change this thing ends up being harder to run for Alyx. Source 2 is the most optimized modern game engine by a mile.
>>726047760A lot of people seem to agree that episode two is really where HL2 comes into its own the most. I always really liked episode one though, I'm a sucker for games involving some kind of a linear "you have to get out of the city and onto the last train out before X timer runs out" storylines
>>726047860>>726040319
>>726047925I baseded just a little bit
Chances of it releasing on consoles. Played the OG on my PS2. It was a really fun game.
>>726047851>if we got to see my boy AdrianWe almost did in that Ravenholm game made by Arkane. But Valve decided to cancel it because... Because... Err...
>>726047975This reminds me of Duke Nukem's voice.

>>726048010ep1 was bland as fuck and ep2 should have more actual content like weapons or enemies

>>726047925I basedfaced and I'm not ashamed of it. HLA's ending was kino and I won't pretend otherwise. Terrific game, I only wish I got to experience it with an index instead of a fucking rift s which later managed to brick itself.
>>726047860very interesting anon. what is it that Half Life 2 gets right that metro, an explicitly russian/ukrainian game, doesn't?

On one hand i want more mobility and be flying jumping around as gordon, but on the other hand i dont want it to be a call of duty cloneBut half life itself is a very fast paced game so i want the long jump available
>>726047049He's strong because he can't possibly lose as long as (you) keep trying as shown by the vortigaunt lines in 2Maybe fourth wall breaks like that sound cringey now, but it would've been pretty novel back when the game came out

I have to wonder, why did Valve drop the final boss fights for half life 2 and onwards? Nihilanth fight was pretty cool, but in half life 2, ep 1 or ep2 you dont really fight bosseswe need a gman fight at half life 3 but how do you even do that, i wonder?
>>726048205>>726048818https://youtu.be/HYvLl9Nh_uo
Right, so about this.I think I changed my mind because I don’t want to die. And my copy of Raising the Bar was expensive.I can bake a jean shaped cake if you’d like? But it specifically has to be HALF LIFE 3. If it’s Half Life Alyx: Episode 1 or anything that specifically doesn’t have 3 in the name, I ain’t doing shit.
Alyx is the opposite of that guy from the new metroid trailer. I want her to constantly comment on my actions. Keep talking.

>>726049612>kemonofunny I mainly use that for porn, never thought it works for regular patreons too lol
>>726049950I've always liked the idea of being a janitor in some high tech place. Like a nuclear power station.
>>726040037Trailer is dropping at the game awards. This information was revealed to me in a prophetic dream
>>726050031any further info on this? sounds insane>>726049915Peace.
>>726050051One that has its own train system? None dude. >tfw there is no workplace the size of a small city
>>726050051maybemaybe notjust like black mesa you'd never know about it until they fuck up and unleash hell on earth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SMt8TJGqOgOh yes
>>726050138I believe you.
>>726050031>concentration camp in xenlol so the vortigaunt village in black mesa
Unrelated to half life but i love how the entire character of tinker is just a big ass half life reference. Lines directly copied from the games. even his story is just the black mesa incident
>>726050185>the gigantic research facility with massive branding, car parks and public signage is secretno it just has numerous levels of access, it even says that people who go to more classified workplaces need to go to a high security train.
>>726049898Gordon was frozen in his suit and he was wearing civvie overalls in 2, so probably not.
>>726049898AbsolutelyThe main question is does he still have his weaponsIf that's the case, he could have some of the last members of Race X on Earth
>>726049503In Smod
White Forest in EP2 always reminded me of the Purotana mountains in Siberia
The Game Awards will take place on December 11th, 2025, right? My analysis of this day in a zodiacal context reveals a configuration marked by fire and revelation. The Sun, Mars, Venus, and Mercury in Sagittarius indicate a moment of symbolic expansion, in which the occult tends to manifest in a luminous form. It is the sign of truth rising, bringing to the surface what was dormant… My friends, do you know what this implies? Heh, keep reading.The Moon in Virgo, in harmony with Uranus and retrograde Jupiter, translates to the collective reaction, likely one of contained, almost analytical emotion, in the face of something that reconciles the past and innovation. On this day, the public witnesses the return of a myth, and does so with awe! The Leo-Aquarius axis reinforces the character of a universal spectacle, the stage and the collective in tension. Pluto in Aquarius, at the threshold of the Descendant, announces the re-emergence of a technological symbol with profound cultural reach. Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, alongside the North Node, speak of the materialization of an ancient dream, of a promise that seemed lost. The waiting dissolves, and the imaginary returns to the visible world.

what if nothing happens?
>>726050504He gave it to Kleiner
stop making threads. it's not happening
>>726049997>>726050024They already told you the intended ending. The original writer and team are long gone. Just like all the recent movies that make "sequels" and "prequels" decades after the fact by random new people, they are fan-fiction that has little to nothing to do with the original property. You may as well make up some shit yourself since it would be just as canon. Many of them do not respect the original work, do not understand the original work or why fans liked it, and can outright hate the original work and its fans. They can fart out Half Life 3 where Gordon is a loser alcoholic that failed to stop the combine, his evil son he hasn't seen in decades kills him off, and girlboss Shaniqua takes over leading the series and you'd soiface all over it because it's labeled "Le Half Life 3!"
>>726050440I always thought it looked Germanic. Like the buildings are borderline alpine. Slovenia type shit.
>>726050597It's not the same.You are brown.

I'm ready to eat. Bring out the food.
>>726049812og Xen needs some justice to show those shitters who think Black Mesa did it better. Valve's take on Xen with modern technology could make the game for me
>>726050569thread every day until the game awards or the announcement until you like it
They are announcing the steam machine first so people genuinely interested in the console for it's features will be able to be first in lineThen with the announcement of HL3 a month later, and that it's Linux exclusive, the hype train will be second in line as people scramble to buy steam machines. This way it's fair to people who actually want the machine for non-HL3 reasons
>>726050597>fart out Half Life 3 where>labeled "Le Half Life 3!"Bruh you can't even spell the game's name correctly.
Greetings
Half Life 2 is old enough to drink legally in the United States.

>>726050901Big day today, Freeman.
this is as far as i gothis is as far as i seethis is as far as i waitthis is as far as i AAAA
>>726050856>Linux exclusive
>>726050834shit, you raise a really good point here - black mesa's interpretation of xen ISN'T CANON. Valve's never actually shown us a version of xen other than what we see in HL1. If we see xen in the new half life game it will likely look nothing like what we saw in black mesa. That's gonna be a real headache (for me at least, just since I absolutely loved black mesa's take on xen).
>>726050797Isn't offworld just all the places on earth that aren't inhabited and with no Combine presence? Like somewhere in a desert or on a small island in the middle of an ocean filled with xen leeches.
lets save the world again, anonone last time
>>726050949>nothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNgdKJVb7g8OPEN FOR BUSINESS
>>726051140no anon, offworld clearly refers to being off-world, i.e. no longer on planet earth. I have no idea why you would think it means a desert or an island on earth.
>>726040037Do you think that they'll go with state of the art graphics?
>>726051253Depends what you mean. CS2 is state of the art but it relies heavily on low resolution trickery for optimisation purposes.
>>726051253Leaks have shown ray tracing, meshlets, hair strands, updated CSM techniques, modern upscaling, etc.It'll probably have some up to date features as options.
bla bla bla mr freemanim just coming back to all the half life memes and stuff just because im so excited holy fuck i cant contain myself, inaling hardcore hopium
>>726046514spoken like someone who has only ever played 2
Do you think they'll shadowdrop it or show it off a little before they release it?
Headcanon for what happened today:valve or someone close to valve contacted mcnigger, told him to shut his dumbass up or he'll be more than BLACKlisted. Gape follower was never that close to tyler so he was able to backpedal effortlessly, and since he's not a big fat tendie turbosperg he gets a pass.
>>726051136this was made out of HLAlyx assets, looks kino:https://youtu.be/n6RhKy5pIyQ
>>726051136We saw enough in Alyx to know its supposed to look grotesqueI do enjoy Black Mesa for a lot of things, but its take on Xen is my least favorite part of it all and I'm not talking about the length, it's just not Xen, plain and simple
I'M A HOPERSTARTERTWISTER COPERSTARTER
>tfw no Alyx gf*beep beep beeeeeeeeeep*
>>726051253HLA is state of the art and I hope they go just slightly beyond that.I should get the pancake mod for HLA and take some 4k screenshots
>>726051136>(for me at least, just since I absolutely loved black mesa's take on xen)Eh, i personally liked it but i remember someone saying that they didnt like black mesa take because it felt like rather than making Xen creepy, they made it too beautiful. And yeah, i can see that.But i prefer to give that up since i like what they did with Xen in general and the world building .
>>726051467I think the trailer will come out right as the game releases
>>726051602erection level critical seek medical attention
>>726050949>>726051159Entropy Zero Uprising also had some banger trackshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9dfZ63ly68
>>726051467Geoff's game awards show is right around the corner.
>>726051638you can almost LICK the bricks
>>726051748nobody gives a shit
>>726051651It doesn't even make sense with 1 since the Nihilanth wanted to get out of Xen and take over Earth not of out malice, but because Xen suckedIf Xen is even better than Earth, why bother leaving?
>>726051534>don't have vr>not enough autistic video analysis of this xen stuff in HLAsucks man, there's a lot of it made for HL1 and 2 but Alyx never got this mainstream coverage
>>726042265>Look niggers I'm just not gonna commit to anything and stay completely neutral because I have no fucking lead and I don't know what's going on. So just in case I will be vague as possible to claim I was right regardless of the outcome of this. Cheers and get fucked.
>>726046827https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR8W3t85BZI
i still havent played half life alyx
>>726051748He's going to go up on the big stage and say "My name Geoff".
>>726051806>>726051987>>726051748I remember last year in TGA where Geoff at the end says that this was a big important event for gaming, that these devs were working in complete secrecy, that he was so, so excited to finally show it to the worldjust to show it was just naugthy dog slop instead of fucking half life 3 holy shit i was so fucking mad
>>726051775I'd rather lick alyx
Let's say it doesn't release this year. Are all hopes of HL3 lost forever? Will hype levels drop to catastrophic lows?
>>726045219experimental genius.
>>726051935I'd like to, but I ain't buying VR when there's only one game on it worth a damn
HL2 mod where Alyx sits on my lap in the dodge charger?
>>726051806nobody gives a shit that you dont give a shit
>>726052120Used Quest 2 or Pico 4 is like $200 an you can always resell it. And IIRC there are even services that let you rent VR headsets for a relatively small price.
Alyx is an annoying character
>>726040315Seattle
>>726052309You're my least favorite character.
>>726043670>gameplay is paperthin>Incredible levels of dialogue, as if taken from the worst Buffy episodes>adds nothing to lore
>>726052309good morning alyx
>>726052120Check out the NoVR mod. You miss out on some of the coolest gimmicks but the game is fairly playable that way. Played it on the 'eck.
>>726052309zombine ain't funny for you, pal? would you rather have a headcrab eat your brain?
I have a coping injury.My brain is coping.Ow.
>>726052309Careful big guy, that's my wife you're talking about.
>>726052496I found Alyx to be a childish and dense smartass from the first moment I saw her
>>726052459Nah I wouldn't want to ruin my experience like that, I'm sure I'll get VR eventually, probably
>>726052431you're either a flat mod player or some nigger that watched a playthrough on youtube, if even that
>>726052309I like her
>>726052030It wasn't just that one, he kept baiting "highly anticipated secret project by legendary developers" multiple times that show. Combined with that shit-eating grin he had every time he did it, I'm convinced he intentionally seeded and encouraged the "HL3 at the Game Awards" rumors to boost his view counts.
>>726052072Nah, they've been working on it since Alyx, maybe even before Alyx was released. They're so far down development that hard to think why'd they back out. At worst we might get delays, but nobody is expecting it to come out later than Q1 2026Of course, nothing is pressuring them to release it either, no sharholders, no publishers. Just a fun project for industry veterans
>>726052761But does she like you?
>>726052761STOP LOOKING SUCK MY COCK
shill threadpaid one too
>>726052829
HL Alyx was a commercial failure
>>726052834I wish.
>>726041635That was 2kliks.
>>726052834> payed shillThis thing is so funny to me. Yeah, companies pay people to shill games on 4chan of all places
>>726043050fuck you
IT SMELLS LIKE SEX IN HERE
>>726043050nigger
>>726052834I wish I got money from Volvo... :(
>>726043050proofs?
>>726052981Yeah, that's right, pcbros will shill their non existent game for free though, lmao
>>726052942it's literally the only VR title worth a shit
BAKE NOW
>>726052761This is like the one game where I don't want to see porn of the charactersnot because they're unattractive or anything but rather because it hurts my heart on a fundamental level
>>726053213And it still flopped as a product after like 6 years in dev.
>>726053261SameThen again I also thought the same of Neon Genesis once
NEW THREAD>>726053168>>726053168>>726053168
>>726052431>gameplay is paperthinNot even close. Interacting with the world was amazing and made me wish for a Thief game that used similar mechanics.
I'VE YET TO SEE A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THIS GAME'S EXISTENCE, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GETTING THIS FROM
So a new Half life is confirmed, or this is another hopeful dream?
