Half Life 3

  I’ll believe HL:3 is real when it is for sale, purchased by me, and played in it’s entirety. And even it just be a particularly vivid delusion.

  HL:3 is gaming’s dark matter. Until all other possibilities are definitively ruled out, it’s not HL:3.

    If they’re doing something HL, I expect a Half-Life: <something other than 3>

      I would love it if they just called it Half Life 4

    Around a quarter of the way through HL3 you’ll be left with cliffhanger and ending screen telling you it will be continued in episode 2.

  Yet another HL3 hype rumor post with no credible information. Press X to doubt.

  Considering every Half Life showcased Valve’s new tech in the Freeman narrative, one could argue Alyx was our Half Life 3. It had everything: the signature storyline, new gameplay, new tech. What more are we expecting from Half Life 3?

    IIRC valve outright said it wasn’t HL3

    • Vinny_93@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah they did. But at this point Half Life 3 has a mythical status they will never be able to measure up to.

      But it was the third complete half-life game. I havent played it (no interest in owning vr kit) and even I take this view.

    HL3 needs to advance the Half-Life story. Alyx advanced the story about 2 minutes from HL2 because it was a side-story.

    We’ve already had one Half-Life 3 but what about a second Half-Life 3

    You may be onto something. If we take away HL: Lost Coast, and both HL: Deathmatch versions, there are 9 titles.
    With the rumoured title code named HL:X it makes me wonder how they’re going to announce it (granted these rumours are true).

      Half-life: Fornite.

    Rumors I’ve seen are they are going all in on the physics. Like, every object in the game has material properties like flammability that will react differently in the environment. Some rumors about some procedural generation tech being involved as well, but not to what extent it’s being used

    • CosmoNova@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Sounds like Minecraft or more recent Zelda titles but for what’s worth there is still a lot of untapped potential there.

  • FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Uh…did you actually play the game? Because if you watched the ending you’d see that it was absolutely was NOT supposed to be HL3.

  • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Personally, I’d like to see one of these games end without a cliffhanger. That last one was a doozy.

• Brett@feddit.org ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  If it gets announced or released: Cool.

  But until then all those leakers, dataminers, third class publication, youtubers and everybody else who profits from the attention these leaks naturally drive can fuck right off. The current Valve leaks news cycle is so fucking annoying. Be it Deckard, Deck, HL, whatever else.

  Apart from that i was pissed at Valve for the cliffhanger at end of EP2 with no follow up. But that was 15 years ago. Seriously its been over 10 years since i decided that i just stop caring about the franchise. Still played Black Mesa when it finally hit 1.0. That was nice a throwback. But HL3? I just dont care anymore. Might check it out if it ever gets released or not. idk

    If the cliffhanger at the end of HL:2 Episode 2 annoyed you, the one at the end of Half Life: Alyx will annoy you even more because it not only returns to that moment but the G Man uses reality warping shenanigans to overwrite what happens in it, and replaces it with a different cliffhanger.

    Son of a bitch and his unforeseen consequences, indeed.

    On the bright side, this also circumvents the need for the original events of Half Life 3 to happen, since Valve has consistently said they were not willing to make it as it was originally drafted (especially now since Marc Laidlaw leaked/released the entire plot online). So now I guess they’re free to do something new with the story direction… Whatever that might be.

      Maybe put a spoiler tag at the beginning of your comment for those who haven’t gotten a chance to play Alex yet

      Damn you just spoiled it for me, put a spoiler on that.

    I’m with you there. Except for the “might check it out”.

    I definitely 100% no questions asked will be all over it. If it’s real. Which it isn’t.

      Yet.

  Yup, Half Life 3 will happen any day now… Any day now

  Still nope. That guy just spins rumors for YouTube views.

  Speaking during a recent livestream, Tyler McVicker, who proved to be reliable regarding Valve leaks and rumors in the past

  Dude was right about Half Life Alyx, but didn’t know the Steam Deck existed until Gaben teased it.

  Wouldn’t put much faith into this guy

  • meliante@lemm.ee ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’m confused. He was right about what he said but because he didn’t say anything about something very few people knew about it’s not credible? What??

    source

    • donuts@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      He claimed a lot of things and Alyx was the only thing he got right.

      I remember watching him like 6 years ago and he was pretty certain hl3 was around the corner. With him, it’s always around the corner

  Half life 3 and left 4 dead 3 would be sick but I can only dream.

• pedro@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  If this is true I’d expect it to be tied to a new piece of hardware launched at the same time, steam controller 2 or deckard to demonstrate some new synergy between gameplay and valve wanting to push groundbreaking tech for hl 3
