It was never going to happen today. The 20th was the real date for all those in the know.
WOW IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE GAP IN THE STORE BANNERS WAS BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO MOVE THE AUTUMN AND WINTER SALES LIKE THEY SAID
>>726322357>source: my ass
It was always meant to be announced at TGA
>>726322074You guys are hopelessly pathetic. Every fucking year or so you get tricked like gullible retards. Move on.
>>726322357>it's tomorrow I swearKEK, THIS COPING RETARD NEVER LEARNS
>>726322394they never said that though

How would you react if Valve finally drops something and it's the first Deadlock SFM2 trailer with the public release date
JUST TWO MORE WEEKS
HORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSE>HORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSEHORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSE>HORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSEHORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSE>HORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSEHORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSE>HORI SHITU A HALF-RAIFU 3 TRAILER JUST FREW OVER MY HOUSE
>>726322440You're pathetic for lying, last year there was some hope it was at the TGA, but this year is totally fucking off the scale.
>>726322440Just because it wasn't announced now doesn't mean the previous 5 years of development didn't happen.

At least it was fun to get together like this!

why did those threads appear near midnight india time?for white people the day isn't over yet
>>726322672Yeah
CHECK VALVE'S UPCOMING RELEASESIT'S OUT>IT'S OUTIT'S OUT
I do think that it will be announced at The Game Awards this time.They usually show big trailers then.
welp it's been fun lads but I'm going to bedwake me if anything happens
>>726322074Wasn't the excuse for Nov 18th fags to claim it was Nov 18th was because Valve would never announce shit at the game awards?
>>726322672yeah, for a whilenow I'm depressed as fuck though
DON'T STOPBELIEVING
>>726322535kek
>>726322535I hate this fucking retro windows nostalgia aesthetic this guy is such a manchild incel
>>726322672Always nice to talk about video games once and a while with you guys
>>726322787ANON WAKE THE FUCK UP I JUST FOUND A REALLY COOL ANT
MORE UPDATES! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?probably nothing
Ive got just enough hopium for one last rideAfter that, i call it quits.
We were hoping yesterday until night. Why are we stopping no?
>>726322894that its not hl3
>>726322894i cant wait for when HL3 is announced and these AppIDs were just completely fucking unrelated.
Good, now you can stop making these dogshit threads.
>>726322894This is probably just some random indie game
>I'm going to bed
But then why did all the insiders say this week...
>>726322894>mfw its a random 2nd indie about depression
>>726322951these retards will make them daily even after the game awards has fucking nothing too.
GO TO THE BATHROOM
>>726322972>islam a badWhat did they mean by this?
The decade isn't over!!!!HOLD ON!
HOLY SHIT IT'S REAL
I…I guess tomorrow then… right guys..?
>>726322972I'm not brown I'm a neet silly :3
>>726322672Same, it's been really fun getting hyped with you all. It almost feels like the old days
>>7263230031) Its later this week2) It gets announced in several hours from now, like how anons called early on3)Its fucked
>>726323003for attention you retard

the real hl3 episode 3 x were the friends we made along the way
>>72632300399% of "insiders" are full of shit.
>>726323013I went but it was just gas.My tummy hurts.
guys its come out at 3:00. theres still about an hour and 30 minutes
>>726323060Nope, TGAs is the final cope now
>>726322894it means 2 more hours
>>726322550Deadlock is the biggest moba flop since smite that game has no future I am full of rage at how much effort is being put into literal slop.
>>726322672agreed. these threads made me go through episode one and two again.
The real HLX was the fart I blew out of my ass along the way
>>726322782Definitely not TGA, November 18th shitposting was fun, but Valve is most likely going to announce whenever they feel like it. The recent news only suggests that they are just close to getting ready, but they are not the type to have set dates nor leaks never suggested that they were going to have a set date for the announcement.
>>726323003The week isn't over. One more day.
>>726323129thats est alyx was announced 6pm est (3pm pacific) and then revealed at 10am pacific the next day. so 5 and a half more hours
>>726323119
>>726323117Why would I kill myself when HL3 is at most a year from release?
>>7263231854, actually
>>726322550Deadlock is genuinely not ready to be released any time soon, maybe fall 2026 it will get the "official" release.
>>726323036No, this is
>>726323183Why would they announce it in a Tweet, and not when everyone is watching?
>Still emptyWeird
>>726322074I'm not watching the game awards, you can't trick me Geoff
Silksong released and SO WILL HALF LIFE
>>726323249Has someone looked at the devs names and what thier position is and hire date
>>726322074Hi I'm Gabe Newell. We missed the November 18th announcement date, we are not going to recover from this and thus HL3 is cancelled.Thanks and have fun.
>claims to have plot spoilers but doesn't even know if it's being announced or notThis motherfucker has zero clue about anything.
>>726323036>Its been over 12 years since this leak
>>726323249The first post of this said it was getting announced today and that was a liehttps://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/726230719/#726232001
>>726323273because that's how Alyx was formally announced, on Twitter
>>726323234>at most a year from releasejust one more year bros. Maybe even two!!!
>>726323302Silksong was ass
>>726323283Maybe you should try getting a job.
>>726322518>his trial lasted 7 hoursKINO
>>726323336It's still the 19thhave some faith
why are people even watching app 1063600what is its significance?
>>726323308They did>>726238771>>726242617 tl;dr it's bullshit and obviously bullshit, just look at how much more amateur it looks compared to >>726323036
I honestly feel bad for you uncs.
>>726323130Just like last year. And if not this year, next year. And if not next year, the year after.
>it's HL1 anniversary>valve hasn't made any posts/announcements about itThere's still hope left.
>>726323359Are you living under a rock or just delusional? The game is in development, and close to release at that. That is a fact. Expecting it to come out within a year is not in any way unreasonable. Just because it wasn't announced today really doesn't mean anything.
>>726322074>geoff award showThey aren't going. Valve has obviously better things to do.They didn't need a game show to announce Alyx, they just post online and people listen.
2 more weeks until nothing happens
>>726323508Don't be, your generation is 10x worse with the media growing up with.
>>726323003What insider said it was this week? I've only seen a screencap of a random /v/ shitpost.
>>726322518You mean [myg0t]hitman? He's been dead for years like so many others.
>>726323538>or just delusional?you project too much.
>NEW HALF LIFE 1 UPDATE>NEW HALF LIFE 1 UPDATE>NEW HALF LIFE 1 UPDATE>NEW HALF LIFE 1 UPDATE
I fell for it again.
>>726323598What do you say to this? https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVINqBTwM=/You really don't think it's at least in development?
>>726323526Erm they never did any posts/announcements except 25 years anniversary
>>726322672...
>>726323794this is just a picture of goatse
>>726323858Nope. That's just your delusions making you see things.
>not even a single breadcrumb over 2 daysits not happening
>>726323273Because they never cared for shit like that. Also announcing at award shows has its merits, but having a strict deadline for a mere announcement, and things they have to cobble up to turn an announcement to a show material is very taxing and not cheap.Why would you go out of your way to do that when fans and news outlet would get blown out by the announcement regardless, even if it was just a mere tweet
I wonder how many anons killed themselves already
https://x.com/gabefollower/status/1991212924891799923
Why do you do this to yourselves?
Why are people saying it's over when it's barely the it's still wednesday?
>>726324040>when it's barely the it's still
I wont even be able to run half-life 3
>>726324008It's fun. Why do you deny yourself that?
>>726324040it comes out in 4 hours
>>726323983I don't know who this guy is but he talks like a faggot so i hope HL3 somehow does get announced today
didn't half life alyx get announced at like 6pm est?there's still time my chuddy buddies just wait
>>726324150Again, Alyx only got announced via a tweet because Valve wanted to bury a leaked interview with Geoff
>>726323794In "development" means nothing in a flat management company. We been through this over ten years ago.
2 more days
.....
>>726324238The HL3 we knew abou got canceled only after a year of devtime and the last time we ever heard about it was through leftovers in The Lab.Meanwhile HLX is like HLVR (aka Alyx) in which we've been getting strings consistently for years.
>>726323338Did they even announce their hardware shit at award show too?If they cared about award shows they would've definitely done that
It's really over, isn't it?
3 PM ET TRUST
2 more weeks
>>726324223sauce?
>>726324370...
>>726324238Valve has never cancelled a game that's both this far into development and has such a large team. The game has recently even stopped getting new gameplay features added and the focus has shifted towards optimization, which wouldn't happen if they weren't happy with it. It's coming. Just accept it already.
>>726322074I predicted HLX's announcement got Valve Time'd into early next year last week, and I was right. Valve would never leave it for TGA, they'd do an announcement and then a gameplay trailer or similar to throw Geoff a bone. They're going on winter break almost literally right after TGA so they can't announce it there anyway.
>>726322649Hey retard did you miss the obvious cuts in the video?
>>726324370>HL3 teaser>Mr Freemaaan>...>What took you so long? ;)>November 2035
>>726322672You guys are my good internet friends who I trust my moms house deed and social security number with its nice to get together.
>>726324570>they can't announce it because they'll be on vacation laterare you a retard
>>726324008>We purposely get excited over a thing that's never going to exist, as a joke
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI
>>726323003Youre not allowed to lie on the internet its coming out later today
>>726324408Seek help
>>726324689>thing that's never going to existFalse.
>>726324716You know the truth as I do
>>726322074>TGAlmfao get real, Valve is too good for that shit
>>726324769With what?
lol at retards not knowing its getting announced at 3pm pst today
>>726324008>he doesnt get it
>>726322074The announcement happened and HL3 is already released, but we are collectively hallucinating as if the game doesn't exist because we couldn't handle the reality of HL3 existing
We had a good run.See you next year, cowboys.
>>726324829You'd think that if this was your first timeAt fifteenth time you don't even care how real it is any more
>>726322672I'll miss you guys...
whoever loses hope doesn't get to play it when it comes outthems the rules
>>726325135Not my first time>don't even care how real it isWhat? I get not caring about it after all this time, but not even caring if it's real at all?
Is it still possible that we get news today? I don't want these threads to end
>>726325251You mean to tell me we weren't shitposting?
Alright I gotta calm down. It's been fun hyping up this day for the last couple weeks but if it really is gonna happen 3 weeks from now at TGA then I gotta stop thinking about this.TGA makes sense I guess, Alyx's reveal was a special case because it was leaked beforehand, it was supposed to be shown at TGASee you all in several weeks I suppose.
>>726325380no chance, leakers have backpedaled already
>>726325226I HAVE HOPE
>>726324689You know the rules.
>>726322357thisIt's been funny seeing this board sperg out
>>726325450TGA will come and pass, 2025 will end and nothing happens just like today
HLX is real but it's a code word for a peripheral device of gabecube
>>726325585
>>726325581Nah it's gotta happen this year, there's too much pointing to it. It just would've been nice to happen a bit earlier
>>726323983kek look at this stupid faggot. backpedal right when everyone's hopes are up and think they have the moral highground.when will people finally get tired of being treated like that and publicly hang these niggers?
>>726325585Would be funny, but we know that it's a game.
Nothing ever happens. I'm done!
>>726325697Be the change you want to see in the world.
Even thinking that Half Life 3 was being developed because of that "HLX" bullshit was fucking retarded, you guys are retarded and have been fooled so many times in 20 years that you don't deserve to be called a smart species
>>726325737it's a codeword for Artifact 2, HL doesn't even stand for half life
>>726325664> there's too much pointing to itYeah like one tweet
>>726325772>valve just HASNT been developing a game codenamed HLX this past 5 years>they DIDN'T tell the "leaker" hype faggots to shut up the other day and cause them to suspiciously make the same tweets at exactly the same timeyou guys are even lower IQ than the faggots in these threads that have no idea how timezones work.
What did all that “hope” get you? Fucking pathetic.
>>726323983russians need to be annihilatedname one thing russians do besides lie and cheat and be 1st in HIV rates worldwide
>>726325772Yet here you are, in this very thread, posting on /v/So shut up and let us have our moment
>>726325823Since when is shartifact 2 a first person shooter where you play as someone using an HEV suit and crowbar?
These threads were the most fun I've had on /v/ in a while
>>726325856Funny threads, I enjoyed posting memes and other stuff
>>726325772Explain what HLX is then if not Half-Life 3.
>>726325856>What did all that “hope” get you?funny pictures of gordan getting injected with hopium
>>726322074why were people even expecting a half life 3 anouncment / release today? Like what did someone make up a leak or soemthing??
>>726325856Suffering lets us know we're alive.
>>726322074>until TGAJesus fucking Christ, it never ends with you dumbfucks does it? If you think Valve, one of the biggest game companies of all time announcing one of the most anticipated games of all time, would wait to do it on some piece of shit “award show”- you are so ridiculously retarded that it’s impossible to talk sense into you. Keep wasting your time and energy like the stupid piece of shit you are.
>>726326049HL1 anniversary
>>726326049Youtubers "speculated" that something "could" happen either yesterday or today or next week or next year. They did the same thing last year.
>>726325856And what did all that "doom" get (YOU)? Getting to feel all smug for a couple weeks before it gets announced anyway?
>>726325935>let us have our moment…a moment of being ridiculously stupid dumbfucks? Ok. Have it.
Was there ever big announcement on tga? I can't remember even one
>>726325772Theoretically speaking why would valve even codeword a new half-life game as "HL"? Wouldn't they call it something completely different as to not raise suspicion if it really was half-life? Especially considering their disdain for leakers.
>>726326094that's it? why are so many people retarded?
>>726326215They codenamed Half-Life: Alyx as HLVR
>>726325953fps spin-off of artifact 1, HEV suit and crowbar is just a reference
>>726326215Hev suit and physics shit is a dead giveaway for a Half Life game anywaysSo they called it HLX
>>726326209The first DLC character for Smash Ultimate (besides Plant)
>>726326143It’s not “doom”. It’s rational logical thinking.
>>726326143>before it gets announced anywaylollmao
>>726322672The real half life 3 were the friends we made along the way
>>726326215This >>726326291, and it would still be obvious it's HL3 anyway. The leaks contain tons of gameplay stuff that make it obvious.
I hurt myself todayTo see if I still feelI focus on the painThe only thing thats real
this feels like 2013 /v/ again
Same time tomorrow?
>>726326436why would X be 3
>>726326567no, tga
>>726326343Tell me, do you think it's not happening at all, or just not today? The latter is rational, logical thinking, the former is straight up denying reality.>>726326373Feel free to explain why it won't.
>>726322074I'm just going to say it's going to happen tomorrow, and tomorrow I'm going to say it's going to happen the day after, just so this thread would perpetually existI just hope it won't actually get announced because my beloved thread will cease to exist
>>726326635It is not getting announced this year.Why? They're waiting for when the new hardware is close to launch and available for preorder, and that ain't happening until January.
>>726326572Because the player character uses an HEV suit and crowbar. Do you think it's another spin-off with a random scientis like Decay?
Nothing really mattersAnyone can seeNothing really mattersNothing really matters, to meeeeeee
>>726326632keep falling for it
The thing updating like crazy
It's getting announced at TGA. Gaben likes TGA and is friends with Geoff
>>726326728Alright. That's a fair stance to take.
>>726322250It would be a long con in that case
>>726322074I've been saying it's going to be at TGA every thread and you didn't listen
>>726326337>DLC character for Smash UltimateAnd this is the biggest video game event right now?
>>726326851See you next month when you're hyping it being at the TGAs "for sure this time" like all the other retards.
>>726326806It's just keep changing the Id number nothing burger.
>>726326806Who fucking cares about the game updating, what we need is the trailer
>>726326736>Do you think it's another spin-off with a random scientis like Decay?Yeah, especially considering they are making a new VR, and they love making VR spin-off of established (abandoned) ip along with the deviceRemember Alyx? Remember Aperture Desk Job?
So what do we do now? I enjoyed these threads a lot except for that faggot who posted is body in one thread
But the banner...
>>726326806It's usual.If anything, it updates slower this month
>>7263270273:33PM PST.
>>726326909I personally was never hyping it up, mostly along for the ride. Not that I can prove it though, since this is 4chan. I'm just not gonna put too much stock into any particular date. It's enough for me to know that it'll be announced when it's ready. I'll just have fun in these threads in the meantime.
>>726327027You let it go, the threads are slowing down anyways cause there ain't really any hope anymoreYou can start it back up again in a few weeks. Realistically it must be the TGA
When they are gonna anounce the Raising the Bar reprint? Valve's gonna do it at the very least, right?
What benefit does Valve gain by making Half Life 3 when they are already making a fuckzillion dollars a year by doing absolutely nothing?

Came here to laugh at you Half-Wits
>>726326736It's going to be called Half-life Xen, and you play as no-name scientist in Xen doing VR stuff, kinda like the Portal oneYou guys needs to chill, insider info btw
>>726326961>VRWe already know from the leaks that it's a flatscreen game. Plus, Valve knows fans would be pissed off if it was another fucking spin-off. This is the real deal.
How about not wasting a single millisecond of time or ounce of energy on this shit? This way, if it gets announced- oh cool! It doesn’t get announced- you live your day like normal without any crushing disappointment.Why do I have to explain this shit to you guys?
Why are we here on this planet anyway? Just to be fucked with by god or kikes?
>>726322074Who started this meme? The fucking gabecube?
>>726327262>VR stuffAgain, it's not VR. Also, the X in the codename doesn't mean anything. Alyx was called HLVR, and that's not reflected at all in the final name. This will be the same.
>>726322252Anyone see any parallels between Duke Nukem and HL2 or do I need to up my meds? >Both Duke Nukem 1 and HL2 have an evil doctor whose face appears on a video screen and uses surveillance cameras to watch you.>Both Duke 3D and HL2 are about aliens invading and taking away people's ability to reproduce (in Duke, all the women get abducted)>Chuck Jones worked on both HL1 and Duke 3D as a concept artist and enemy designer
>>726327290gabecube is going to have a stupid gimmick to sell the product and the game is going to showcase that stupid gimmick>Valve knows fans would be pissed off if it was another fucking spin-offif they cared about pissing off fans, they wouldn't have stopped making games and put us in a state like this in the first place
>>726327249You will always be alone, vtumor simp
>>726327460Alyx was called HLVR because it was HLVR
>>726327380>without any crushing disappointmentExcept I'm not disappointed. I know it'll be announced when it's ready, so just because today was a bust doesn't mean I'll be disappointed. These threads are fun so that's why I'm here.
>>726327262The codenamed for the cancelled Left 4 Dead 3 was L4DX
>>726327184Didnt every iteration of half life cause a successful mod to be spawned from it? Half life? Team fortress and counterstrike. Half life 2? Gmod
>>726327583Sure, but the codename isn't reflected in the official name. There's no reason to think HLX would be different in that regard.
>>726325920Make good games.
>>726327509>they wouldn't have stopped making gamesThat was largely out of their direct control. They'd have to actively choose to make a spin-off instead of the real thing, which they wouldn't do.
>>726327835psuedo core
So is there any reason to think HLX is actually close to/already done. Or is it possible that the game is still far from being finished?
>>726327857>They were forced at gunpoint to turn themselves into a hardware company, that also makes small companion software to those devices!lol sure
>>726325664You just don't learn.
>>726327998your gay
>>726328050it comes out today
>>726327687Are they creatively bankrupt to not think of a difference codename?Also seems like a bad omen to copy a naming convention of a cancelled game
>>726328102No, but there were multiple factors that couldn't easily be fixed that made them stop making games. Steam, lack of direction and motivation, fear of not living up to expectations, among other things. That's different from actively deciding to make a spin-off instead of a sequel your fans want.
HLX is a Citadel crossover spin-off to sell Citadel for gabecube
>>726327687>Codename has a cross in it>Is cancelledLike poetry
>>726328050We know it's feature complete, because earlier this year we stopped seeing shit relating to new features and instead started seeing optimization related shit. Something like this typically happens at the end of development.

>>726328301Oh poor billionaire company with lack of direction, motivation and FEAR!!Now they visited the shrink, and they are completely healed with hopium so they are ready to announce Half-Life 3, what a wonderful scenario
>>7263220743 weeks and 1 days for real
>>726326089gabe and keighley are bffs. also they originally planned to announce half life alyx at TGA
>>726327184Respect and status as game developers. And the hope that they people who work there are actually there to make interesting vidya. You said it yourself, if it was just about money they already won by making steam. The reason to continue going after that point was this idea that they could engage in all sorts of creative endeavours and steam would foot the bill for them. Instead the company managed to go to shit over the past decade or so and half the attempts to defend them are built on this stupid idea that we should care about valve making money instead of games.
3:33 PM EST trust the plan
>>726325920hohol, you lost almost 2 million men, why aren't you in the trenches? Russian drones are waiting for you :) 4mp4w
>>726328672>Respect and status as game developers
>>726326089> it never ends with you dumbfucks does it?There was already a list of "possible announcement opportunities that TGA was at the very bottom. So yes it does fucking end. Once TGA becomes a nothing burger people will chill for a bit.
>>726328817Kinda making my point.
Why do people think it's over already? I don't get it.
>>726328941Note: this does not mean the game is cancelled. Just that it wasn't announced yet.
>>726322776it's been at '2' for a while now anon

>>726329481only really counts when it's a game they could patch bugs in before the weekend, doesn't matter for a date announcement

>>726329602GABEN SAVE THIS MAN
I retain the Opinion that Half Life 3 should Never be realeased.There is just No way that anything they release will live up to the 20+ years of hype.Even if it is the best game to have ever been made it simply will not live up to the expectation of 20 years in development by the richest game company on earth.
>>726330108It's reserved for Lord GabeN.
QRD on HLX? I am skeptical of anything released by """insiders"""" (Mcnigger and that Russian faggot)
IT'S OVER. MOVE ON

>>726326572X is a placeholder.Left 4 Dead 3's codename when it was being worked on in the 2010s was L4DX.
>>726330242Oh, it WILL release in a decade or so when Gaben dies and Valve is force-sold into a PE firm. It will be garbage.
>>726330383Thanks anon
>>726330401oh so that means it could also be Half-Life-gimicky-gay-ass-spin-off
>We've reached the manipulative boyfriend suicide threats stage to get valve to do somethingGrim
>>726329602my autist/v/rother....
>>726330523It could be, but the stuff that has been datamined points towards a traditional, single-player, non-VR Half-Life game.The worry here isn't that the game doesn't exist, it's that Valve might pull a retard move again, randomly cancel it like they did with L4D3 and the 2013-2015 version of HL3, and spend another decade releasing nothing but F2P live service slop.
I do not wish to die until I play it.
The real reason they haven't announced anything is that I promised myself I'd finish all of the Half-Life games on the hardest difficulty before the release and I've been too busy to even finish HL1.
>>726329721kek
>>726330687It's near finished or finished already, in polishing phase. The actual fear is that they'll review the game and one or two parts bounce off of them and now they have to redevelop the game again
>>726323249What is that even?
>>726330567Gabe will get his blood sacrifices whether he wants them or not
>>726330721I'll keep that in mind.
>>726323336we have roughly four hours until it's definitively over for today. Then we hope for the 21st. After that, it's TGA. After that, it's december/TBA until steam hardware drops.
I wonder how many people are going to die of heart attack for the announcement, and never get to play the game
free game on steam about being raped. thought this might help some of you work through your trauma.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2747770/Wednesdays/
>>726329602Well, at least it's not as bad as eating jeans
>>726330687L4D3 and HL3 barely had a year of devtime each, and were canceled because Source 2 wasn't functional enough to support them at the time. Half-Life: Alyx made them get off their asses and actually finish enough of the engine to be able to meaningfully use it for games, which is why Alyx, Aperture Desk Job, CS2 and Deadlock all exist. And HLX strings have been consistently appearing in Source 2 games for at least 4 years. Valve's never canceled a project this far in development before and they don't have any seeming reason to.
I JUST WANTED MY GAME
If it's real, surely something truly credible like assets (models, maps, hell even concept art) would have leaked by now?? And I'm not talking about anything pre-2008 or even Epistle 3, I mean actual FILES dawg
>>726330798CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IT IS I'M LOSING MY MIND
>>726324008Hopeposting is fun
>>726331302Editor assets have "leaked" (accidentally included in updates to other Source 2 games)Also, maybe something big would've leaked by now if Tyler didn't go and fucking reveal he had an entire beta build of Half-Life: Alyx. Valve certainly plugged that hole and clamped down even harder on security after that.
>>726331161>L4D3 and HL3 barely had a year of devtime each, and were canceled because Source 2 wasn't functional enough to support them at the time.See, that's what I'm thinking, but I have such little faith in Valve after the abysmal disappointment they were for the entire 2010s.They suffer from a severe case of what I call "Miyamoto syndrome", an insistence that they can't make new games in beloved franchise(s) without first coming up with some forced gimmick that "justifies" the new entry. But, for some reason, when it's a F2P live service slop game like Dota, CS or Deadlock, they don't need any gimmicks and will just rush to make it ASAPEven HL Alyx pissed me off. You finally make a new Half-Life game, and its actually pretty good and moves the story forward, but you make it VR exclusive? Nah, go fuck yourselves Valve. That's some absolutely scummy and anti-consumer horseshit.The HLX leaks over the past year or so have been the first actually exciting thing I've seen coming out of Valve since Portal 2, which is why its so hard for me to believe. What changed so suddenly which means they now want to start making actual video games again?
>>726322672yeahit felt a little bit like early 2010s /v/

>>726331767>sour grapes>for VRkek, next you'll say that anyone who doesn't glaze VR is a poorfag or fat or a console player, your post stinks worse than an expired milk
>>726331767>stay mad pancakefaggot, HLA was amazing and you suffer from a severe case of sour grapesI just don't have any interest in VR games. I don't want to sit there with a giant contraption attached to my face flinging my arms around like a grandma playing Wii Sports in 2008. That's not my idea of what gaming is. Gaming is me, sitting on a comfy chair, looking at a screen, using either a controller or a mouse + keyboard to operate the game.
>>726332082>waah waah i cant afford 200€ for a decent headsetnot my problem and i don't care about the fact that VR is dead in the water. Valve was the only developer to give a fuck and it shows, HLA remains as the only AAA quality VR entry. Boneworks 1 was pretty good too but it wasn't much of a "game" game
>>726332116>flinging my arms around like a grandma playing Wii Sports in 2008thanks for outing yourself as a fucking retard that has never tried VR. The very first moment you try one is when this dumb fucking notion will go away.

>>726332571>shit nobody saidlast reply you'll get, disingenuous faggot
I know I’m seriously coping but wasn’t HL Alyx shown on a Thursday
>>726332502They can't release it before HL3 because it contains stuff originally from EP3 that will be included in HL3
What are the chances of Valve actually being pro-consumer for once and releasing it on PS5, Switch 2 or Xbox? Or will they keep it exclusive like they do with literally all their other games?
trailer for alyx was on a thursday just sayin
>>726329602It would be extremely painful
>>726332749Didn't HL come to PS2? lol
>>726332704All stuff from ep3 was scrapped
>>726332749Valve will be pro consumer by not gimping Half-Life 3 by releasing it on those underpowered shitboxes.
ENOUGH OF YOUR BULLSHIT!REMINDER:>there is still an unlisted game in Valve's Upcoming Games tab, which would be ridiculous to reveal any time this year after fostering this hype unless it was HL3>HLX leaks have been continuous and are now showing that they are in the polishing stage as of 2-3 months ago (which doesn't happen until the game is nearly done)>steam machine utilizes tech that was directly mentioned in HLX leaks>Valve was added to the advisory board for The Game Awards, which means they're helping plan and orchestrate TGA instead of just dropping a single vid or two like most companies/devs- think microsoft/sony presentation type stuff>not only do both valve schizos (gapefollower and tyler mcnigger) still say its still completely possible within this year, but now multiple highly reputable insiders are saying that valve is releasing something this year>valve still needs a premier launch game if they're going to enter a new market like thisHOPIUM ADMINISTERED. HAVE A VERY SAFE DAY.
>>726332749inb4 Steam Cube exclusive
>>726332675It was tuesdayWe've been played like a damn fiddle
>>726332821yeah and HL2 came to xbox
I'm seriously hopeful, I don't know why but all of this hopeposting has gotten to meIt will happen one day just as Silksong did, I know it
>>726332835Half-Life 3 has to run on the Steam Machine and Steam Deck which are both weaker than the base PS5. Hell, the Deck is weaker than even the Switch 2.
>>726332921>comparing a 6 year wait to an 18 year waithello zoomer
>>726329853Rapist is only one word.
>>726332821>Didn't HL come to PS2? lolValve haven't released a console game since the original port of CS:GO to PS3 and 360 in 2012. And that received zero post-launch support.There technically is the Portal Companion Collection on Switch in 2022, but that was developed by Nvidia with zero involvement from Valve other than them just agreeing to let them do it.For some reason everybody bitches and whines when Nintendo or Sony keep a game exclusive to their platforms, but when Valve refuses to port Dota, CS2, TF2, or any Half-Life game to consoles, nobody says a word.
>>726332921You are a fool.
>>726332921>tf2 final comic came out right before Christmas>bloodborne is on PC(via emulation but still)>Silksong releasedNever lose hope, half-life bro
>>726332962I can see them using the Steam Machine as a performance target but I doubt they're going to try and get it to run on the Deck. Especially when CS2 just barely runs on the Deck at lowest settings.
>>726333183And yet Persona 6 is still not even announced...
>>726332962>Deck is weaker than even the Switch 2.stfu tendie. Stop making shit up to cope with the $600 you wasted
>>726333041yo unc, it's your bed time already
>>726333183>tf2 final comic came out right before ChristmasThat too, I forgot about thatIt'll happen
>>726333197>but I doubt they're going to try and get it to run on the DeckOf course they are. You're delusional if you think Valve are going to release their most-hyped game of all time and just come out and say "Sorry, but you can't play it on the main form of hardware we sell on our store." They will make absolutely sure HL3 is playable on the Deck, even if its just at very low settings.
>>726333229I have 0 hopes for nuFatlus, modern politics will ruin it even if the gameplay is fun
Tyler is laughing at us...
>>726331161>Valve's never canceled a project this far in development beforeIndeed. They have, however, restarted projects very nearly as far in development. TF2 Invasion, or the version of the game where it was aliens vs. humans, was very far along but after they took a break to help ship HL2, they weren't feeling so hot on it anymore and chose to start from scratch for the second or third time.
>>726331156Kek, you're lucky it's (probably) not coming out anon.
>>726332749>He didn't play Orange Box on PS3/Xbox360
>mfw the "upcoming release" game on Valve's developer page isn't just Half Life 3 but a one-in-all pack aka The Orange Box 2>Half Life 3>Left 4 Dead 3>Portal 3
>>726333396SNEED
>>726333564That was 18 years ago.Why can't I buy and play something like "Half-Life: The Complete Collection" on PS5, Switch 2 and Xbox?
>>726333581>Orange Box 2>Artifact 1>Artifact 2>Artifact 3
>>726333706>no underlords or deadlockFake
>>726333660because not enough people bought console release of Orange Box, it's simple as that
>>726327998>hur dur I don't like reading
>>726333041More like comparing a 6 year wait to a 5 year wait
https://www.twitch.tv/tylermcvickerHe’s live
>>726333778If that's the case then why did they release console ports of Portal 2 and CS:GO?The reality is that Valve employ a Nintendo strategy when it comes to their games these days. "Make them 100% exclusive to only our platform, so people are forced to buy PCs and purchase their games on Steam."
Reminder not to give mcnigger any views
>>726332749Can you go back to the Steam threads where you whine about "PC vegans"? Thanks.
Tyler won. HL3 only gets announced when he decrees it is time.
>>726333863Alyx isn't mainline
So what started the autism storm? Some fag uploaded a fake pic here or did you guys take it from some official Valve video?
https://files.catbox.moe/prwxw2.mp4
>>726334160VIRUS, DO NOT CLICK.
>>726333881They also released at the same time around as Orange BoxThey had a period of releasing ports to consoles, and you niggers didn't buy it when you had the chance to convince them porting to console was worth itDo you expect them to print unprofitable console port just for you personally out of a charitable will?
>>726334038IF YOU ARE A WOMAN, HELLO
The week isn't over yet.
>>726334160I wouldn't even be mad.

you know I was never really super stoked about half life, got sorta bored of both games half-way through, and I played them not long after they were releasedhad more fun with portal if I'm being honest
>>726334538We know it's real. It will get revealed eventually.
The first trailer for Alyx was on a thursday
But what about the lack of a banner on the main page?
Bros, can you recommend me a must have mods for Black Mesa?
>>726334770That is definitely sus but we have nothing to go off, literally any game can take it tomorrow
>>726334770There's nothing because nothing ever happens.

>>726334602no you fucking don'tthere is zero credible evidence that halflife 3 existsleaks are NOT facts. accept it
>>726322198yes dad
who said it was coming this week? mcnigger?
>>726333581If valve made an Orange Box 2 that included L4D and portal I would actually soiface until my lower jaw dislocated
>>726323319I think it's kinda funny that he still pretends to be an "insider" when anyone who works at or with valve actively avoids him.
>>726333172You underestimate the character of man.

What do we think Alyx will look like in HL3? How would we feel about a romantic scene between Gordon and Alyx?
>>726336976hope it will be similar to 2024
>>726336976If there is one then I just want it to be FULLY MODELED
>>726336976She's definitively not going to look like the unfinished HLA model.
Just drew a lambda with a sharpie on my forehead if its not out in 5 hours im carving it out with a machete
>>726336335That somehow took 5 years and a third of Valves employees to develop?
>>726334138A Half-Life fanatic and a dataminer who predicted everything about HL: Alyx right except for the exact announcement has datamined HL: X in a similar manner. So there's 99% chance that we will be at least getting a new HL game but we don't know if it's actually HL3 and when the actual announcement drops.
>>726337207Complications due to adhering to gabecube, or multiple rework on the game due to development hellYears don't mean shit in game dev, it's an industry where shitty buggy mess of a game can take up to 10 years, while highly-regarded classic can be made within a year
>>726337609its gonna be hl3
>>726337609That same fanatic then streamed himself playing a beta of HLA and got himself blacklisted by Valve. He knows precisely as much as anyone currently in this thread. The game is still coming out, but using mcnigger as proof is counterproductive.
