Half-Life: Alyx (formerly: Half Life 3 is coming??)

Myrddin

A broken patch for a near decade old game, & a statement with two full stops? Stop it lads, this is getting embarrassing

Sounds about right to me! Half-life 13. It's Half-life 3, 10 years after the release of HL2. 3 + 10 = 13.

I won't believe HL3 exists until I've finished it twice.

Merle Dandridge who voices Alyx Vance posted the below pic with the quote "Back in the booth"..........

EDIT: Ah balls! I just saw she voices Marlene in The Last of Us, most likely to do with DLC for that.

CptMackey

Absolutely

Every time this thread is bumped and hl3 isn't released a baby tiger gets killed.

I won't believe that it has been released unless I'm playing it. Even then ill be sceptical. What we need is a whistle blower like Edward snowdan to tell us one way or the other

Why do you think he's on the run??? He was trying to give us the HL 3 release date. Valve sent their ninjas and covered up the story saying he had government secrets

But if you don't believe it exists, why would you be playing it? :pac:

When you dream about hl3 every night it's difficult to separate reality from the dream

I heard Gearbox will be doing it. :P

I think, at this point, a hypothetical Half Life 3 would never be as good as what it's hardcore fans dare to dream it could be. Maybe the story is better left open ended. I realise that I'm speaking heresy here but I think that Valve knows it either has to make the most amazing shooter of all time or just not open the lid at all. Half Life 1 & 2 blazed a trail. HL3 will have to do the same but it's a game that will certainly have to overcome the problem of 'franchise lag' where it'll struggle to make the same impact after such a long time.

What you are saying can certainly be true, but the argument can easily swing the other way. You only have to consider the amount of brown, boring, standard FPS games being released each year to see how any innovation, anything against the grain would feel like a breath of fresh air. As the FPS genre achieves 'standards' or 'norms' (ADS, regenerating health, etc), I find it will be easier for Valve to break down these conventions and do something entirely different. After all, anything they make is gold dust so they have the money and time to do whatever they want, and it will probably break sales records.

Valve and Half-life can be the epitome of the 'And not a single fúck was given that day' meme... :P

Those norms could work for or against. Working too much against the grain could alienate the calladoody kids and hurt sales of the game. Valve are still a business after all. The other thing is, as you say, the glut of standard FPSes. They hurt the genre as much as anything and have become associated with a certain kind of meathead gamer. If Valve turns around and says 'Hey! We've made this amazing FPS!", the world might just shrug. Not the kind of reception you want for HL3.

Valve you magnificent bastards.

Following the Surgeon Simulator 2013 TF2 update, someones found Korean on an item:


And the dots are obviously planets. Lots and lots of speculation going around on Reddit and Steam. People are arguing whether it's related to the Summer Sale or, of course Half Life 3.

And now someone found an image on that image.

If the dots are planets then the one the arrow points to is Saturn. I'm calling it now, Half Life 3 is exclusive to the Sega Saturn.

Valve are going to start a war with North Korea and Gabe is officially the next Bond villain!

What I'd love to see is Valve saying nothing about HL3 and then one day to check Steam at 6pm to see what's on offer only to be greeted with the HL logo and "available now " beside it. I'm pretty certain that 30 seconds later the Internet would go into meltdown.

It wouldn't take 30 seconds. I wonder if they actually did just stick it up on steam without any announcement or anything and priced it at something like €100, how many would they sell? I think it would still sell a bucketload once the word got out. I can see people spending that much just to get access to it, thinking it was mistakenly released early or something.

Only for you to discover that they had just given you Farm Simulator 2014 with Half Life mods......
