this is the year
the year when they finally fess up and admit they stopped working on it by 2011?
>>322600191
the year it comes out.. you bitch. fuck you, man.
>>322600325
you've had years to accept it's not happening, why haven't you let it go yet?

why is this meme being used so often now, what did I miss
>>322599930
who cares. only half-life 1 was good. half-life 2 and the episodes were shit
>>322601015
>nostalgia fag
HL1 is unplayable now. HL2 is still good.
>>322601015
Ok pal
lol look at me guys i have an opinion
>>322600826
dank /tv/ meme just before the new year
> Wanting overrated shit
Why?
I doubt we'll see a new Half Life, but I do think we'll get a new game from Valve.
>>322601147
Not him but I Hl1 is best
I started playing the half life games in 2013 and started with hl2, hl2-1 hl2-2 then finally hl1. I can say I enjoyed hl1 the best, and loved black Mesa even better
>>322601147
>HL1
>unplayable
u wot?
>half-life 3 will be releasedas a sauce
http://www.pcgamer.com/gabe-newell-invests-in-experimental-cooking-company/
It won't come out, cause Valve doesn't have a big development team anymore. The art style guy of HL2 who left, and went to help the guys who made Dishonored's art style, Antonov, said Valve was done making big projects, and that's why he moved on.
>>322601996
What the hell do most of the people at Valve do now?
>>322602617
70% "work" on csgo, dots 2 and tf2
by work I mean make sure people can't exploit the market or dupe items since almost all content for those games is now user made
Other 30% work on steam
>>322602617
hats
>>322602850
hats are made by users
they rely so much on the community creating shit it seems like their modelers and level designers are essentially redundant. they have what 4 or so writers when they can probably just have 1
>>322601147
>HL1 is unplayable now.
>>322599930
hl3 will be the game that sets VR mainstream. Expect hl3 whenever VR is done.
>>322600325
It will likely be announced this year it will be released in November 2017
>>322599930
VALVE CANNOT RELEASE SUCH A GAME BECAUSE IT MUST BE A FLAWLESS GOD'S WORK OR PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET BUTTMAD OVER IT AND THE COMPANY WILL LOSE THOUSANDS OF BURGER MONEYSAlthough, it shouldn't matter
>>322600191
The Holiday ARG is leading to HL3.
>>322605428
There's 6 hours of it left and no one's solved it. Good luck with that.
>>322605495
Plenty of clues lead to HL3 though.
>>322605595They were only going to release it if it was solved
Last thing:
1. from your browser go to: http://store.steampowered.com/app/253750
and log from that web into steam.
2. type "search" with your keyboard (Literaly) and hit return key.
3. In the new display, type "1v7531" and hit return again
4. you will earn a badge that will give you 100 exp. and its named "Red Hearring" and its description is "ARG?"
if you see the numbers "7531" on a calculator it reasembles just like Lambda Letter...
coincidence??

Yeah, this time they'll just not turn up at all

Exact opposite is true

SHITTY ARG CONFIRMS
HALF LIFEVRIS COMING OUT THIS YEAR
HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING
Half Life 3 either needs to come out or Gaben's fat ass needs to just tell HL's fanbase that it isn't happening.
This is almost as bad as all of the IBP fan's hoping their banned players will get unbanned in the upcoming weeks because of Valve's "vague" wording.
Is there anything interesting at CES this year?
>>322609979
Half-Life 3 will only happen as someone's else game that heavily borrows HL's style.
I think Singularity did a little of it but still fell short.
Wolfenstein: The New Order had a pacing, with the puzzles/exploration breaking down combat parts that was very similar to HL games.
>>322606504
"if you see the numbers "7531" on a calculator it reasembles just like Lambda Letter..."
what?
>>322609979
He already did tell the fans it isn't happening.
His remark about "only if everyone at valve wants to do it" sort of thing
>Valve are still making billions doing nothing
Yeah, this is not the year.
>>322611394
It might be the year
>>322599930
we'll know more on feb 8 perhaps
>>322610613
But of course, he can't EXPLICITLY say that it isn't happening, because that would be bad for business :^)
I still can't believe valve shills managed to make a ruthless businessman look like a benevolent Christ figure. Both reddit and until recently /v/ are some so fucking idiotic and naive when it comes to valve, yet they complain about every other company for being greedy.
>>322611429
Why would they? They make more in a single day through Steam than they would make on the game, they have no reason to bring it out. Once Steam stops being their personal money printer they'll bring it out, but that is not happening any time soon.
You nostalgiafags realize HL3 will have to be a completely different game to be considered good in today's world, right?
Like if HL2 came out RIGHT NOW with acceptable graphics, everyone would still say it sucks donkey cock.
When I see these threads I spare a thought for all the gamers who have literally died waiting.
F
>>322599930
Why the fuck do you want another one so bad?
Even if they do release another one, it's not going to blow you away like the second one did. They'd be stupid to release a third, it would taint all the good that 2 did.
>>322610389
pixels resembling the half-life logo appeared in one of the comics if you upped the gamma, and one of the clues 7531 make that same lambda shape if you type it on numpad or a calculator
>>322611984
Gamers don't die. They respawn.
>>322600325
Good on you mate, keep on believing and we will keep on shitting on it.
>the ARG was nothing

>>322612919
>implying reddit has done any of the work so far at all
It is known that Valve has people in there stirring shit up. They release the clues for redditors and other fanboys and then they go "haha, we did it guys, we, reddit solved the ARG!"
No one would ever find any single piece of the puzzle if Valve didn't carefully give out the clues while pretending to be among the common people.
>>322599930
>2016
year reddit did it's best and got steam badge as final gift.
>gaben, pls HL3
>>322613062
...because Half-life 3 is, in all likelihood, the most overhyped game of all time, and people would want to play it?
Are you retarded, anon?
>>322613062
Are you fucking retarded? Straight-up denying the costumers their long-waited beloved game is bad PR, even a five year old would realize that.
It is irrelevant whether the game will ever be released, what matters is that the anticipation and the false image of a super-game in the works brings in costumers.

I honestly don't get why people still want a Half-Life 3 so much.

Honestly i'd be way more hyped for a Portal 3

Steam truly is a simulation - a matrix mirroring the real economic world and how it works under the tyranny of the Jews, but with video games.

Like what would this game even be about if it was released? What else can they do plot wise?
>First act of game takes place in Arctic/Borealis
>Ship will obviously turn out to be some portal thing as we saw in Aperture
>Portal takes you to Xen/Combine home world and then...?
What else can they do? They can't really introduce any new major antagonists since they haven't even concluded the Combine arc yet.
>>322600523
;-)
>>322615868
Combine Earth Takeover Tycoon when?
Man, I would so buy the fuck out of this.

Yeah I can't wait for Portal 3
>>322616621
If there's gonna be a game that'll prove valve can count to 3, it'll be Left 4 Dead 3. They can still milk and rape Team Fortress 2's necrotizing corpse, and Half Life 3 will NEVER meet the expectations everyone has for it now.

Steam already confirmed that there would be no SteamOS exclusives.
Just Steam Platform exclusives (aka, no Xbone / PS4 ports)
>>322599930
>>322600191
Why can't Valve just straight up admit they stopped working on HL3? Would be better instead of giving fans false hopes
>>322620880
Because they technically didn't stop
Interview with ex-valve employee said they had slowly been moving resources away from the project, and only a small team remains
>>322620997
>and only a small team remains
But why?
>>322621213
I can't remember, let me try to find the source
>>322620880
Because making it is a stupid decision from a business stand point, they make millions every month doing absolutely fuck all, now imagine all those valve drones crying and starting an outrage when they realize that there is no HL3 in development? It's bad for business, besides it would be hard to make HL3 meet expectations, so it's better to just keep dangling the bait in front of everyone's nose and rake in the cash while being praised by idiots who still believe that there is something big coming, it's literally the best form of free advertising, they don't even have to do anything.
