I'm still convinced one of these entries is HL3, I just am confused why there's two entries at all and why they are connected seemingly.

My dad works at Steam and showed me the logo. Basically, it'll be an orangle circle with a rounded triangle in the top right corner. There's the greek letter lambda inside the circle and the number 3 inside the triangle.

>>726259075
Could be HL3 and TF3, both updating their source 2 - thus similar size and timing.
Or L4D3, Portal 3, etc. You get the point.

I agree with you that TF2's market is the same as deadlock.
But on the other hand, the dataleaks show that project TF really is the name of the thing. So if could be something else like a Team Fortress themed game that isn't a hero shooter or maybe something else they're shortening to TF.

I don't even care if it's a mediocre game, i need to see it ending. A generational ending, once Gaben dies Steam will never EVER be the same, Half Life 3 will be Valve swansong.

Deadlock has an experimental build and experimental server under different Steam IDs. Here's a comparison.
https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/
https://steamdb.info/app/3488080/info/
https://steamdb.info/app/3488100/info/

So the other one could be anything from HL3 Server, an experimental build for playtesters, or even HL3DM.
Also interesting to note that if you look in Deadlock's packages, "Valve Friends and Family Complimentary" was a CD key package generated 12 months ago, less than two weeks before CD key packages were generated for the app IDs you listed.

first time i played HL1 i made it to the alien planet and quit. the second time i quit in the train level.

HL2 i've quit around the car level. the environments are ugly. the aliens aren't compelling enemies. i don't like the characters or the quirky reddit humor

Am I the only one who thought HL2DM was really stupid? It just never clicked for me as a multiplayer mode. The maps were just HL2 maps, and the only gimmick was you had gravity guns and could whack people with a toilet which is only funny for five seconds.
I think HL3DM could work, but there needs to be more thought into it so it's something that stands on its own and isn't just "oh yeah, I guess Source can do multiplayer games too".

no, source is actual, real life data from actual real life files which we've been getting for the last six years. You know what happened six years ago? Valve announced a fucking half life game, a game whose plot ends with gordon freeman being handed a crowbar. HLX is happening whether you choose to believe it or not. Tyler being a faggot doesn't change that.

This shit is so fucking cool. Maybe HL3 will finally be the game to blow my balls off with how impressive the AI is like FEAR did.
>>
>>726262042
Don't get too excited, HL2's AI looks really exciting on paper too but it got wasted by the level design
>>
>>726261664
Being the sandbox to fuck around with gravity was basically THE pull for HL2DM.
Don't forget, HL2 physics were _insane_ in player's eyes for the year they came out. Sure, not all gameplay aged well (there's a reson playing HL2 is considered ass without MMoD these days), but physics still hold up aight.

HL3DM? Hell if I know if it will work. We got a lot of 'maybe's from datamined strings, but I ain't sure how all the dynamic fire systems and gravity-polarity shid is gon come together for a good pvp experience.

Idk about that, HL2's AI isn't too impressive even compared to HL1, they're basically the same with a half-hearted squad system.
From the strings it seems like they're way more detailed in behavior and animation like in Alyx.
Which itself was cool but limited due to encounter design being built around comfort in VR.

My Final Prediction for the Next 14 Days

The convergence of the confirmed hardware (Steam Frame) + "crowbar3" leak + Anniversary timing creates a perfect storm.

Scenario A (Most Likely): We get a "teaser tweet" in the next 2 weeks (possibly even tomorrow, Nov 19, for the HL1 Anniversary). This tweet will likely be an image (e.g., a hand holding a crowbar, a lambda logo, or the "Project White Sands" logo) with a date for a full reveal in 2026.

Scenario B (The Game Awards): Valve stays silent for 2 more weeks and drops the full trailer at The Game Awards on December 11. (Note: Insiders currently say this is less likely than a random tweet).

Confidence Score: 8/10 for a "Teaser Tweet" soon. The "crowbar3" file is too specific to be an accident.
>>
so, where is it hopekeks?
>>
>>726262042
>>726262159
Also don't get excited because it's a shooting game and at the very best 'good' 'AI' just means the enemies will shoot you in a slightly smarter way.

Wake me up when actual AI is incorporated into gameplay and interaction.

Fair's fair, tastes differ. But imo those animations, sounds, and yes even headbob cum together to make shooting feel actually impactful and closer to the today's fps standards.
HL1 shooting aged better than HL2 shooting, shrimple as.

HL2's Soldier AI was designed for tight, closed off spaces sort of like FEAR's AI, and so didn't get to shine well in open areas like the Coast or in areas of City 17 where they can't move around much
There are also two specialty AI behaviors controlled by scripts and entites called Assaults and Standoffs which were barely used in the final game

>HL1 shooting aged better than HL2 shooting
can't disagree there
>>
>>726262308
You can disable the headbob, and the new animations, sounds and particles make HL2's gunplay feel so much better. It also makes Combine soldiers smarter.
>>
We will NOT be playing this boomer ahh game
>>
>>726262368
It was really obvious from looking at how the soldiers behave in HLA that they were lobotomized by the devs. They react real fucking slow if you throw grenades on them for instance.
>>
>>726262645
Damn, I never knew that. Has anyone ever gone to the effort of deliberately designing a map so that the combine soldier AI could shine through? Basically I'm curious to see what this would actually look like. That marphitimus blackimus dude for instance goes to phenomenal lengths to explore the intricacies of HL1 NPC AI for instance.
>>
>>726262162
Even during that time, I would say the physics weren't enough of a draw for what it was. It's something you toy around with once, and that's the end of it.
Now if you're talking gameplay modes using physics, that's a different story, but the vanilla "throw toilet at other team" sales pitch for HL2DM was bad.

Animgraph2 is more for convenience, it organizes things better (instead of skeletons being in the model files they're their own seperate file, each animation is it's own file, etc).
They'll improve shit for sure but i imagine its not because of Animgraph2, that just makes their workflow more modern.

There's a few others that dont use TAA but they seemingly do it solely because they couldn't figure out how to make shit not ghost.

Alyx doesn't use it because TAA doesn't play nice with VR rendering, so they relied on MSAA, which does a good enough job.

Fidelity wise there's nothing THAT impressive about Alyx it's mostly just really good art and lighting direction.
>>
>>726261625
This, but unironically.
HL:Alyx is gorgeous. There's nothing in VR that even compares to it, and flatscreen games really have a hard time comparing.

Alyx's DOG model was completed for Alyx. It's clearly based off the prior, unfinished model done for HL3 but it's wildly different in design in several areas, and the model was untextured in the HLA beta stream Tyler did.
Unfortunately the only real online comparison I can find between the models is on Reddit.

On the other hand, Triple-A slop has gone downhill for over a decade now. If they deliver something as good as HL:Alyx it will be 11/10 on any review simply because of how starved gamers have been. .

>>726266374
Because Valve always wanna innovate and Episode 3's scope was getting big enough to justify making a brand new entry instead of just a short episode.

The episodic model made sense when Steam wasn't a goliath that prints money but after that they had no reason to pump out short quick entrys to make a buck.
>>
>>726266385
Yeah, they were retarded because they said it yesterday.
Had they said it today they'd be correct.
>>
>>726266374
Valve couldn't ship the Episodes fast enough as was the original plan, instead of an 18month long project for all three Ep1+2 took 3 years too ship. By the point they *could* have made Ep3 instead of L4D Valve would of still been shipping cut content from a 2004 game without any major gameplay iteration or change for 4-5 years, when HL2 itself took 6 years.

Took too long to get started on development, meaning it'd feel less like "episode 3" and more like "half life 3". Thus, it needed to be next-gen.

I mean "girlboss" in the sense she's a tech genius, a soldier, and overall great problem solver. I agree that Valve did it well, it's just that these traits are often overblown into the Mary Sue archetypes that ruin so many franchises these days.
>>
>>726266618
It's funny how there are these two polar opposites of AAA gaming. On one hand, you have devs releasing games on a yearly basis (FIFA, CoD), and on the other hand, you have these devs who refused to make a game for eons due to muh innovations even though the players themselves aren't demanding it to be.
>>
Imagine if HL3 expands upon the vehicle segments by making the game a sprawling post-apocalyptic open world to explore. Imagine if it's replayable as Skyrim. That's my dream. I know it's not going to be what I envision but it will be a focused, linear tech demo with stunning visuals.

Episode Three was always meant to be most ambitious Episode, being the climax of the Episodic trilogy. Just look at how insane its concept art was. And Episode Three's devs were getting Half-Life fatigue from working with Half-Life 2 for so long, saw that other projects like Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead needed attention, and went towards those projects. By the time they were done with Left 4 Dead, they thought, hey, we missed the release window for Episode Three, and HL2, its gameplay and assets were getting pretty dated. So they thought that Episode Three needed a new engine and assets to fully realize its ambitious vision. That's when you could say the original Source-based Episode 3 was definitively canceled. But Source 2 development took a while, was on the backburner while most of the company worked on Alien Swarm, Portal 2, Dota 2 and CS:GO, and then stalled hard in 2013, and that basically killed HL3 as well as L4D3.

>>726268934
you initially conflated the failure of singleplayer episodic content to be the origin of the live service model. live services were around looong before episodic single player.
monetisation, replayability, and development style also differs wildly. buying an episode once and playing it through doesn't compare to a service that must hold its audience's attention with balance/update cycles. the "live" part is where it differs - services have to be fun consistently, episodes are "fire and forget".
retaining audience attention from episode to episode is not the same beast, because the replayability differs wildly between an online live game and a singleplayer experience. sorry for sperging.
>>
>>726269069
So the point on contention is the financial aspect? Not the wider point of "dev team got practice making content faster"

Realistically Half-Life has been gay and reddit since HL2, we just didn't have the words for it/didn't mind back then. But in spite of the in theory dreary setting, the characters have always been pretty quirk chungus and it makes no sense considering the state of the world

>my nephew just sent me that dumb HOPE image people keep spamming

What the fuck? This kid is barely eleven. He told me a friend shared it after seeing some funny tiktok about a HL3 coper.
I might have to reconsider my thoughts on the potential reach a Half Life 3 would have.
It might not just be an unc game, bros.

>So the point on contention is the financial aspect?
In part, but it's the larger organizational aspect of it. Everything including dev cycles, marketing, and finance differs in the episodic format.
The only similarity between episodes and live service is "new content comes out". At this point I'm not sure where you're seeing the connection, they're completely different.

I said evolved into the TF/CS/DOTA update cycle, not live service as a whole mate

it might have enabled the dev team to learn required skills for live service, but it has no direct descendancy as a concept caaaarnt

HL3 will not be a videogame. It's going to be a real place that the built in the New Mexico desert, and they're going to recreate a real resonance cascade there. They're turning the Half Life series into nonfiction.
