to be fair there seems to be a pretty solid body of evidence that it wasn't JUST valve huffing their own farts, after episode two they genuinely tried and failed multiple times to come up with a compelling story that successfully caps off the trilogy and the series whilst also being fun. But I do agree that ending the game on such a cliffhanger with no real plan moving forwards was pretty retarded, personally I would've had a pretty clear idea of where the whole episode 1-3 arc was gonna go before launching into it the way they did. Keep in mind they started working on it as episode 3, then it ballooned into a full Half Life 3 project, then they gave up on that, then there was whatever was going on in the 2010-2014 era, and so on until Alyx.

Generally speaking it's best to understand valve at the time as being highly competent and creative, but simultaneously very retarded and idiosyncratic, arguably much more so than it is today.

Source 2, actually.

Half-Life 3 without an optional VR mode is a waste of everything they learned from Half-Life: Alyx. Something akin to the Half-Life 2: VR Mods available on Steam for free which are some of the best VR experiences out there.

Hey how popular do you guys reckon Half Life actually is? Part of the reason I'm so antsy to see this HL3 reveal is because I'm genuinely curious if HL still has a major cultural footprint, and I'm also curious if it ever had one in the first place

So what are the credible sources of copium at the moment? By my estimation, the following are worthy of merit:
1) Gabefollower: "it's getting announced before 2025's over"
2) Mike Straw/Henderson: Straw claims Valve has announcements still in the tuck. Henderson claims HL3 is releasing some time in March. They both work for the same publication. Straw I don't know about, but Henderson is about as legitimate as they come, so I'd mark this one as the most credible out of everything we have

If there's anything else let me know.

It starts with
ONE DISCORD
he didn't know why it doesn't even matter how hard he sneeded
keep that in mind they leaked the valve source repository
all i know
those assets were a valuable thing
hoarded by overweight trannies
-and other lyrics to in the end i don't remember off the top of my head but that's the gestalt essentially. funny how quickly most people forget shit like this. Valve probably told him and that other faggot to shut up yesterday which is why their tweets came out one after the other.

if you just do HL1 + HL2 and episodes you can easily knock that out in under a week.

but surely he issued some kind of a statement/apology no?

see >>726130674 - for startes, epistle 3 isn't the would-be plot of episode 3, it's a mutated version of it that acts as a metaphor for laidlaw's sadness over the death of the project (at the time). and second off, even if epistle 3 was meant to be the plot for the game it would fucking suck, it literally doesn't have an ending, gordon just fucking fades into obscurity, all the characters become forgotten and alyx gets kidnapped by the G(oon)Man. I liked everything about the Borealis hopping between dimensions and time though that sounded kino.

Gonna sound like a massive faggot, but if HL3 does come out, I'd argue that waiting an unpleasantly long amount of time between the end of episode two and the start of half life 3 (never even knowing IF the story will conclude, let alone when) has almost become a core part of the experience lol. Hell I was literally born the same year that HL2 came out and even I've now had to wait over eight years for half life 3

It's meaningless to speculate on whether that version of the plot would had been realized. But it's pretty obvious this is what Laidlaw had been planning for ep3 for a long time. It's not a metaphor, it's Laidlaw sharing his vision on what could have been. And he was just as upset as we are

I'm convinced we have to hear something before the hardware drops, and Raising the Bar release is another big clue. But this is Valve, and if it's not ready they could easily go another year or two without saying anything and then announce it when it's ready.
>>
>>726153536
No anon, this isn’t speculation, this is explicitly what we know epistle three to have been. Laidlaw himself makes it very clear. There never WAS a clear A-B plot for episode three, only ideas, that was part of the problem.
>>726153826
Because the leaked files are labelled HLX and include references to Xen. That, and deadlock’s already de facto been announced

It refers to sealing + sterilising a wound with heat from a flame or another hot thing. E.g you slashed your palm and then press a red hot metal object to it which seals up the wound

We can only really guess what the combine codes mean but given the pattern of using medical terms to refer to military/policing actions, I always presumed ‘cauterize’ to involve setting up a sterile perimeter of sorts, violently.

I'm not trusting mcnigger or gape enjoyer, i'm trusting the fact that valve is acting extremely uncharacteristically at a very opportune time of the year.
Oh and the whole raising the bar thing which i completely forgot about until i was reminded yesterday.
So they probably do wanna update it with EP3 content and teaser content for HL3/whatever else they want.

Obviously different devs left for different reasons and different projects. Stelly and Speyer specifically call out L4D because they remember dropping work on HL2Ep3 to help finish the technical stuff to ship L4D, whereas other devs like Walker, Casali, and Riller moved into TF2. John Guthrie didn't appear in the documentary but it's semi-well known that he left HL2Ep3 to be a major contributor to Portal 2.

So since the orange box valve basically makes infinite money now. I guess what would be unlikely is they've been able to keep other multiplayer stuff under wraps since they are doing that shitty deadlocked game openly but, curious if there will be any other stuff?
Like they have infinite money actual "game development" should be easy I guess the only issue is their standards are very particular now. Sadly I couldn't see them doing any non-gambling multiplayer game like DoD or something.

I could see something more "garrys mod" esque where they try to capture more of the modding/custom gameplay scene that was huge for half life and counter strike multiplayer but never penetrated into GO at all.

Weird short side game like portal would be nice but I feel like that is hoping for too much.

They might integrate some of that even into a half life multiplayer though? (half life 2 did come out with a deathmatch as well...)

I know just hoping too much for a company basically unable to make games even though they actually have infinite money but curious about it at least.

>>726157518
my sleeper theory I've had for a while based on the "paid mods" for skyrim + the proliferation of stuff like roblox is Valve trying to figure out a way to capture that CS:S/half life/gmod modding scene and custom game plays and integrate it with the microtransaction system to fund developers.

These modded MC servers making like millions a month I think valve wants in on that. Gabe has talked about things in this direction going back like a decade. The only issue now is it would kind of be stepping on Garry's s&box (which seems to be going rather badly) so they might not.

That is a hole Valve is kind of missing in multiplayer stuff that would be greatly appreciated if they opened up again. There hasn't really been any good place for that kind of stuff since all the source game modding died in like 2013 dude to those patches that came out.

Slim chances of it happening this week, but possible.
People are holding out hope because of the new edition of Raising The Bar reprint that includes episode 3 details, which is supposed to release this year.
This week marks a year since the book was announced, and 27/21 years since HL1/HL2 respectively.

Probably Yes. If i remember right, C17 was very freehanded in its policy combined to the rest of the combine cities thanks to breen, hence why in Alyx it looks somewhat livable compared to 2's dystopian shithole, most likely caused by the vault getting fucked and Breen having to go nuclear to please the grubs.

Imo it might be quite the opposite. People in City 17 get running water for like an hour or two in the evening, while there's relatively clean water near Black Mesa East and in the bases near the shore.
>>726158939

Huh, I've just remembered there are working washing machines in HLA. So probably even the citizens are relatively clean. Now the question is does the Combine produce toilet paper and stuff like this.

i mean the main issue is like the assets and standard stuff. Half life assets/environments/moods is kind of a fundamental part of gmod
https://youtu.be/VPc38r9VES0
it just has sovl and using the textures/mapping stuff gives it that coherent look that really gave it it's vibes.
I played the s&box beta a bit when there was sausage stuff and just like barely anything was happening and the actually existing mods were just like ugly and bad vibes. You do kind of just need that foundational pallete of models/textures/sound design.

I can't see s&box taking off so valve is basically the only ones who can actually do it. They clearly seem interested and it's a huge industry, and it's a way to print money without the horrible loot crate garbage they do so hopefully they do. Acutally having a good fps w/ an active multiplayer modding scene would be my favorite thing that could happen in gaming.

God has smiled upon us, this day
The fate of the series, in Valve's hands
And blessed be the manchildren who wait with all their bravery 'til only the patient stand

I suppose HL3 is more universal in its appeal, considering its FPS nature compared to Silksong's 2D Metroidvania genre. Also with the fact that Valve is way too autistic with its playtesting, even scrubs casuals who are just in it for the bandwagon can enjoy the game too.

To put it in legal terms, there's no body but there's a guy who has been looking up how to get away with hiding a body online, we found digging tools in his car, and he always hated his wife who he says suddenly went on holiday. Also his phone was pinging in the middle of the bush at midnight, after his neighbours heard loud yelling from the house.
