I’ll wait for the official announcement before getting hyped up.
Here’s some salt before you read the article
I think I read this rumor once a year since before half life 1 was released
Yeah, however, leaks around this have been a bit more believable than before. Can’t remember the specifics, but more concrete stuff has been found by datamining (iirc) deadlock and paying attention to steamdb, with less reliable leaks ranging from the game or assets (again, iirc). So, there’s a fair chance this is real.
However, HL3 has been real multiple times before, it has been cancelled many times apparently, only to be taken up again later on.
Fact remains however, that Valve have been working continuously on an appid that isn’t deadlock for some time now, and there’s plenty of noise around them working on a new half life.
It’s been 84 years…
Please stop defaulting to Half Life 3 when you have nothing better to write about.
It’s not half life 3.
It’s half life alyx sequel on Deckard
That actually hypes me up more than HL3
HL3 confirmed
It is impossible for it to be hl3. It’s hl 2.9 at best.
Agreed. It’ll be another game in the HL universe but I find it unlikely that Valve will call it HL3, even if it continues where Episode 2 left off.
Whatever it is, I hope it’s a VR exclusive. HL: Alyx was a great prequel and I want more of that…except on a larger scale and with the same walking speed as HL2 (+sprint), instead of that 2MPH baby crawl they made you do in Alyx.
Not this again…
Wasn’t half life alyx supposed to be 3 but title rebranded because overhyped expectations?
No, HL:Alyx functions as a sort-of prequel. The ending of it does provide a stepping stone from which HL3 could pick up again.
It’s hard not to get excited remembering how we found out about Half-Life 2. It was announced in a magazine that some random guy accidentally got sent a copy of early, then he scanned the pages and leaked it online. I think I was browsing some dodgy Russian website when I found out about it.
IIRC, he didn’t get sent it early, he got into Valve’s servers and snagged it.
The kicker, and this is the part I always remember: he guessed Gabe Newell’s password. It was gaben, same as his user name, same as his name name.
Wow, stars really are just like us.
I feel like the fact he worked for Microsoft before starting Valve adds a whole new layer to the story, too.
That’s the source code leak. The leaked announcement came from the magazine.
Ah, right. Got my wires crossed I guess.
You might be mixing up the first we knew about hl2 with the time the entire source code for the game was leaked early.
This will now launch with the power of a nostalgic remake of some sort. And its a full new game.
4D chess from Gabe.
