Guess it isn't this year afterall, huh?
>>729473181its literally never coming out because it doesn't exist kek
why do people want it so bad? half life 2 was never a hit game or even that particularly good, every other game valve has made has made millions more in revenue than any half life game
I'm still waiting for Half Lie 2 part 3
>>729473701Valve created a cult of personality via Gaben and Steam, and now the Steamies are mad that Valve is a hardware manufacturer now.The Half Life franchise has never been relevant. In 2004 it got completely mogged by Halo, Doom 3, Medal of Honor, and even fucking Killzone. There were better FPS games, there were better cinematic FPS games, there were better multiplayer FPS games. Valve had to rely on Counterstrike just to pay the bills.
>>729473181I'll most likely be announced sometime early next year.>>729473701American indies and AAs need that spark while AAA needs to die in a pit of fire.
>>729475629HL3 is not being announced, Valve is currently working on Deadlock and their new hardware line up. The whole hype for HL3 these past few months has been built around a baseless illogical claim that Valve needs a "killer app" or "exclusive" to sell their Linux based OS. They don't, HL3 being Linux exclusive would be insane.
>>729475173lol a console baby
>>729476063Consoles ruled the 00's. This is an objective fact. Cry harder.
>>729476063Also, Half Life 2 was released on consoles as well, so non-argument.
>>729475173Yeah, that's why Halo, Doom 3, Medal of Honor and Killzone won a bunch of GOTY 2004 awards while Half-Life 2 got nothing.Oh, wait.
>>729473181Either the RAM thing fuck their big plans with the hardware/software release thing they got going on or the development got fucked up at the last minute so they're scrambling to fix it just like HLA did.
>>729475940>Valve can only work on one thing at a timeLook at this retard and laugh. I guess you're too young to remember the Orange Box, you also seem to ignore that Valve announced not one but three new hardware at the same time. While I never said HLX would be a Linux exclusive, I wouldn't be surprised. Microsoft needs the extra middle finger while slowly starting something that will finally lead to Microsoft fully exiting gaming. Fuck Xbox.>>729475173>HaloXbots need to be lynched, and your Halo series needs to be shelved and taken away from Microsoft permanently.
>>729475940Deadlock's development speed is slow as shit because barely anybody is working on it
>>729476963Valve doesnt make games anymore, stop that.and even if they were, to think they needed for their glorified PC line to be viable amidst the new shortages to announce it is just RETARDED. not to mention 600 Bucks for a box is not and never will be viable.
>>729476515I seriously hate Xbots and Snoys so damn much. They live in a fucking bubble. You can tell how scare they are of both Valve and Nintendo growing while their shitty normalfag era garbage is ending. Xbox is dead and no Xbot is going to tell me otherwise while PlayStation is declining. This isn't no console war or PC war thing, but Snoys and Xbots deserve nothing for defending trash companies who damaged the industry because they don't know how to compete. They just know how to make gaming worse for everyone.
>>729475173>HL2 mogged by Doom 3lol
>>729473181I honestly, genuinely and truly believed it would be announced because of the leak that predicted the new hardware.
>>729478238The hardware reveal itself is already a sign that they're going to have a new game with it. With the exception of Steam Controller 1, they always release a game/tech demo every time they announce new hardware.>HTC Vive - The Lab>Valve Index - Half-Life Alyx/Aperture Hand Lab >Steam Deck - Aperture Desk Job >Steam Frame/Machine/Controller - ???Now they're essentially having their Orange Box moment with hardware. There's no way they're not doing anything for the software/game side to help sell those things.
>>729478753>hlx is just another aperture lab tier tech demoGiven how cursed this timeline we’re on has been, I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended up being the case.
>>729477241>not to mention 600 Bucks for a box is not and never will be viableThe next PlayStation and Xbox are going to cost more than that.
>>729478753Sure, but when the fuck is it actually getting announced?
