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

It will be some shady game for smart phones.

Nobody is actually excited for it anymore though, are they? Seems to be just a meme now.

In seriousness, it's a pity that Valve didn't finish what they started with the Half Life series. I usually don't have that much time for storylines in video games, but the world of HL2, in particular, was fantastically well-realised. At least with the Portal series, we get something like an ending.

One really hot shooter dropped in 2008, that I can think of, and that was Crysis, and that was a sensation of its own. My guess with HL, is that Valve couldn't come up with the ideas needed to make HL3 that shooter of shooters. And since then, more innovation has happened, and the industry has trended away from single-player shooters.

Its still a no-brainer hundreds of millions in profits though, I was going to say you'd think the shareholders would demand it just for that reason but they're still a private company.

Fan imagining from the "leaked" episode 3 script in the works (for a while now)

Only a matter of time before Valve/Steam shut that down I reckon!

They didn't shut down Black Mesa: Source, so they're probably being good chaps about this.

I'm impressed with their physics/breaking glass/air drag features, looks great. The Steam Audio implementation they seem so proud of sounds kind of terrible though, to be honest.

Is that a week our time or Valve time?

Holy **** I clicked on this thinking "Really?" and then saw it's like 8 years old.

Baldurs Gate 3 is nearly as big a shock as HL3 appearing so miracles happen. That project does look very promising though.

Haven't had a chance to watch the videos yet, is there a tentative date for when it'll be complete? I'm holding off on doing a Black Mesa playthrough until it's complete.

Sidenote, I feel awful posting in this thread.

I only played Half-Life 2. I really loved it.

Is it worth going back and playing Half-Life 1 or will the graphics downgrade/whatever be annoying?

Cheers

They didnt bring out a 1k head set without a killer app.
