This is it boys.
I can feel it in my bones.
HL3 will be announced next week.
3
>implying we will ever get half life 3 in our life time
Half life 1 was the first half of our lifetime, half life 2 was the second. There will never ever be a half life 3. The world will literally end before it comes out.
VR ONLY
who cares anyway it's fucking half-life
>>340537953
We have to believe. We have to meme it into existence.
>>340537874
NEVER
>>340538026
OUYA ONLY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTqhyHuKVKA
ONLY PLAYABLE WITH STEAM CONTROLLER
>>340538347
Please don't give them ideas.
Does Half Life 3 even matter at this point?
desu, i gave up on HL3 a long time ago, i only want to see L4D3
>>340538648
It's gaming's last hope.
just let it go already
all of those things listed on that google doc are just valve's kind of humor. They're fucking with us, or more specifically, with you. They drop some vague ARG hints and pointer names and so on just to drive you mad, just to have hope.
Hopefully they're announcing endless waves on their castle defense bow game. That's really fun but a tad bit short, endless waves would be pretty easy to implement
>Half-Life 2 was a revolution in game physics
>Half-Life 3 will use VR glasses.
It's habbening. VR glasses was the new tech valve was waiting for

All the artists responsible for hl1 and 2 success are gone ( like that Russian guy who did the art direction of half life 2, he's working on dishonored now )
the only people left are talentless piece of shit making money with tf2 hats, cs skin n' shit.
No matter what it would be considered a disappointment that doesn't live up to the hype.
Do people still believe these rumors after years of fakes?
the hype and expectations behind Half life 3 is way too high
even if it's a good game, it will dissapoint
>>340538026
Or just has optional VR as all.
Either way, Valve using it as both a vehicle for VR and Source 2 capabilities would actually follow the series' tradition. I could see this happening.
Or I'm wrong and Valve is as lost to community-made microtransactions, pointless tech and no-games as possible.
>>340537874
>C:\buildslave

>>340538648
Yes, child. You're free to play Dishonored or BioShock or what the fuck ever. I want to finish HL story. Plus HL is the only cinematic shooter with good responsive gameplay.
Literally confirmed beyond any possible doubt.
How will they announce it next week?
They wouldn't announce it at E3 anyways. If it ever happens it will just show up on steam
i just want to map with hammer 2, and have it tested in a first person view mod, not that shitty dota 2 thing
>>340537874
dumbasses
it will happen one day
it will not be at E3 this year that i'm 99,99% sure
just release the damn game, i dont give a fuck if its good or not
just fucking release it so i can die in peace
>>340539126
>I made this when I was a 26 year old man. The "my girlfriend's pregnant, too" line was accurate. I'm now a 30 year old father of 2 boys, and I dream of a world in which they grow up knowing what Half-Life 3 is.
friendly reminder that half life 3 is a reddit meme
>>340539465
This post is ironic, as the storyline is probably the worst thing about HL.
"Half-Life 3 is FINALLY COMPLETE! Finish the story you've been waiting years to finish on July 19th. EXCLUSIVELY FOR STEAMOS AND LINUX."
>>340540473
(You)
>>340540473
The storyline is the worst thing, and the ONLY thing, about HL. Face it, the game is a linear shitfest that modern gamers* only give a shit about because LOLSTORY.
*"modern" gamers = anyone that likes games released after the mid-1990s.
Why am I the only one that trusts Valve and Gabe?
I expect a super solid product with revolutionary changes and hyper realistic graphics.
>>340537953
That's not how half life works
It would be too mediocre to live up to the hype. Gabe is a stupid bitch for waiting so long. They make money off of Steam and TF2 hats.
Half-Life 3 will never be released. Get the fuck over it.
>>340537874
who cares, the last two weren't that good
>>340537874
>directx distros from years ago contain HL3 and L4D3 shit
Am I missing something? I can't tell if I'm retarded or this google document is.
>>340540859
These just came out TODAY.
>everyone always talking about how it will not live up to the hype
WHO. FUCKING. CARES. just release the damn game already so we can put this meme to sleep. it will sell a shitton anyway no matter how mediocre it would be.
>>340537874
This meme will live until this game actually gets announced.
So this meme will live forever
the only reason Half Life 3 hasnt come out yet is because Gabe is afraid of failure
who cares

>>340541717
It would be surprising if Valve released anything new at all, but the thing is that their current model is simpy better.
At best I could see a console version of Dota 2.
I am not sure why there is this reddit like mentality that companies are obliged to obey your whims, sure some people will pay $60 for the game, but many more people spend $15 weekly on tf2 cosmetics, CS:GO cases, or Dota stuff, games that at this point only generate profit.
Had that model failed, perhaps Valve would had been interesting on developing games.

you guys do this every year. Valve hasn't even been focusing on games for nearly 5 years now. DOTA2 was the last thing they released and ever since they've made a failed OS, a failed console, a kinda-failed TV connector, and mixed-reception controller, and provided design for a VR headset. All while also handling the entire steam market.
HL3 is the last thing on their minds now. Stop setting yourself up for disappointment.

I remember someone saying that it would be hilarious if they just released in on steam out of the blue, no announcement, nothing on the front page, no ad campaign. I loved imagining how people would collectively shit themselves.
I've been playing Black Mesa and reflecting on HL1 recently. While the game has outstanding pacing and good setpieces, in terms of gameplay it's mostly a stepback when compared to Quake and Unreal, especially due to lack of verticality in map design (this can be attributed to, but not excused with, 'realism'), pretty unimaginative enemy patterns and 'netherworld' or whatever you call the alien dimension. In fact, most of the trends it introduced, especially scripted exposition masquerading as interaction - and it is interaction in the most base of manners - only got worse in HL2 onwards. The protagonist's development also got railroaded into stale 'chosen one' scenario with every final showdown being another anticlimax, even when given the full potential of gravity gun later on.
Therefore I believe people who praise the series or want another iteration just fell for Valve's viral marketing and/or have no idea about how to properly judge a video game.
>>340542124
I was.
I liked HL1 but I never got into HL2, I wanted gameplay, I didn't want filler corridors where nothing happens, the highway comes to mind, it was linear and I wasn't too interested in the story so I never finished it, disappointing.
With the way things are going, I think it might best if HL3 never comes out, HL2 already set the precedent for linear corridor style cinematic FPS, I don't want to find out what HL3 will bring. Of course assuming that things can get worse.

I can see how people would think of HL3, given how there will be no more SMASH characters (?) FFVII remake, KHIII, DOOM, and Sehmune 3 were already revealed last E3. (and People say 2015 was not a good E3)
This IS the one thing left, but it could be anything from Desitny being ported to PC, Halo ported to PC (essentially PC ports) or Unreal 4.
I can't think of any bombshell anouncements, sequels, or remakes that people could care about aside HL3. I cannot see it being HL3 because everytime is brought up is when we hear of yet another valve employee leaving the company, or some shitty reddit rumour.
>>340544269
I'm white, cuckenstein.
What are some popular modern FPS games with pacing and puzzles similar to half-life? Wolfenstein: TNO was said to be this by some, but that game is more about stealth than puzzles, and still felt like it lacked just a little bit of something to match up to half-lifes pacing.
>>340543903
>it was mostly a setback when compared to Quake and Unreal
Yet it wasn't half life wasnt supposed to be this huge arena shooter that was supposed to appeal to the most hardcore of gamers, it was just a game with a good narrative and that carried it. The pacing is also really good, at no point in the game are you forced to make split second decisions everything is pointed out to you and thus it appeals to both hardcore and casual gamers.
It doesn't expect you to know anything about games going in, it just wants you to play it and enjoy it for a narrative masterpiece that it is. Keep in mind this game came out around a time when games had no story and it was all about killing nazi's or aliens mindlessly. In fact this game inspired many developers to start putting actual stories into their game and thats why its praised because it did something no other games did.
>>340544483
Only other thing I'd say is Kojima buying the Silent Hills rights and working on that but I think that's less likely than HL3
>>340544785
>enjoy it for a narrative masterpiece that it is
So you're saying it's part of the cancer of games that are more concerned with story than being a good game?
What's your hype level for HL3?

>>340544785
>Quake
>Unreal
>arena shooters
I think you fast forwarded to what killed those franchises, not focusing on what made them great.
Narrative in video games should be done through gameplay and by that means HL is certainly not up to par with best shooters of the time. Even when looking at plot alone, it suffers horribly - from lack of characterization, trite and telegraphed twists, hamfisted boss creature etc.
I find it insulting to call Quake and Unreal mindless, to do so means neglecting their map design, enemy mechanics and overall variety. In fact I think you're a horrendous fucking faggot with completely skewed need for validation.
Not to mention that 'actual story' in an FPS is by no means something that HL pioneered. But I'll just focus on you calling those outstanding and unparalleled masterpieces "mindless". Fucking disgraceful cunt.

He's just part of the trend I was going for that Half Life induced (and killed "mindless" FPS along the way). But he did notice that it appeals both to casuals and hardcore gamers, which ties into the pacing skill I was praising.

HL3 is a meme. If you want anything HL related still worth playing, go play Sven Co-op.
>>340545726
I think this is the closest we have ever come to having conclusive evidence of Half Life 3 coming out.
I mean, what other absurdly hyped mind blowing announcements of games could there be? Fallout 4 and FFVII Remaster used to be considered that, but they already got their announcement last year.
Now is the time to get hyped.
>>340545726
Made me a bit excited to see that post from that faggot, I really hope its something good and not a live performance from Nellie or some stupid horseshit
>>340547020
He already stated that he doesn't write the story first. He designs the levels with the team and the primary concepts of the gameplay, then he does the story to fit in.
>>340541030
This
>>340547297
Sven is a dead meme.
Imagine that HL3 actually got released, and imagine that the Borealis maps still use a similar concept to what they did in HL2's alpha.
With next-gen graphics.
I'd probably legit shit myself playing that.
>>340547348
How long has he been working on the game?
>>340540125
oh no, you will possibly know someone's name exists
>>340545726
PC gaming show is monday
>>340547348
To add on to this, this is also why he hasn't released a "what happens after Episode 2" sort of book or comic. He simply hasn't written it yet.
But why are we even discussing this?
We have this very same thread every single year. It's been 10 years since Episode 2. Just let go.

How the fuck should I know. He probably worked on it for 1 or 2 years after Episode Two but then it got halted and he just wrote his books while he fucked around at Valve, maybe contributing some writing to some Dota 2 characters.
Marc Laidlaw was a Valve employee but most of his time was actually spent writing his own books.

Most likely.
Valve hasn't been to E3 in what, 10 years? Pretty sure they're done with it.
Every Half-Life release had some sort of gimmick behind it and the claim that Valve used for Half-Life 3 Episode 3 constant delay's was that "They were working on something big for it".
Assuming Half-Life 3 really is coming out and not abandoned, what's the big gimmick that they've been working on for al the se years

guys you have to understand that this is not good for your health ok? please seek help
So what developers are going to be there for sure?

Valve ported Half Life 2 and TF2 to VR way back when they endorsed Oculus during their Kickstarter. That's nothing new.
>>340548178
he didnt though
https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/e/ee/Orac_randomprophecies_10.mp3
1. The info in this "leak" doesn't prove anything except that Valve is working on/has worked on HL3, which we have known for a while.
2. The hints people are dropping on Twitter and stuff don't seem even remotely related.
3. It makes very little sense to release the game right now. Valve delayed it, probably, because they were working on cool new tech (VR) and wanted to use the game as kind of a flagship title with the release of VR.
The thing is, VR is released but isn't ready for the mass market. It needs huge changes to user input. Probably needs another year or two of "iterating," as Valve would say, before you can really try to sell it to people.
In conclusion, stop hyping and start thinking.
Valve could, potentially, showcase a demo on VR or something. But it isn't the right time for full release.
>>340548270
...like Dota2?
hmm, makes you think.

I'll never understand this meme. Are people genuinely retarded enough to believe that an NPC having a line "npc_quest" means that the game is an RPG?

Could easily be interpreted as either him not wanting to talk about HL or him thinking the question was whether it would be VR exclusive.

The Valve News guy posted a video on the history of HL3 today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vRwTOIevjQ
Makes me wonder if he knows the announcement is coming, his video is sure to get a ton of views if it is announced.
He mentions warm clothing and snow levels from some of the leaked episode 3 stuff, which fits in with the 'gordon on skis' thing.
>>340538696
Gaming's what?
We've got more good games coming out nowadays than ever before. Granted, they are buried in a mountain of both AAAshit "Gameplay was a mistake" linear press X to handholding movie 30fpses that crash and glitch out, and Indieshit SJWfest "let me tell you a story. ... Ok a story has conflict and growth and resolution and what I'm telling has none of that but listen to me anyway" kick$tarter cancer.
But still! Games. We have games!
I'm honestly wondering when Mobile will get something that lets you see what your processor outputs without needing to hold the phone, since that could free two hands for a controller or some kind of keyboard belt.
I also want to know why nobody's put a fucking trackball in a controller yet, since it'll work almost as well as a mouse for FPS. I KNOW we have micrometer-accuracy sensors, which for a typical 2.5cm trackball will give you about 10arcminute accuracy (which is enough for a FPS).
Hopefully Blizzard pulls their head out of their ass and allows users to host their own Overwatch servers outside of Battle.net, and since Blizzard doesn't have to pay for the CPU cycles and bandwidth, they could be 250 tickrate 16v16 servers.
>but anon, how wil they sell cosmetics if users can just host their own servers where you could enable all the cosmetics 4free?
Shit, it works for TF2.
Hell, it works for the fucking Sims, and that's singleplayer only.
>>340539465
>>340540602
>all these people giving a shit about the story not realizing the guy who wrote the story for HL games left Valve months ago
I'm honestly most excited to see what the HL universe would like like on a next-gen engine. Seeing Combine architecture and technology, and seeing crazy fucking synth stuff in photoreal graphics could be pretty damn crazy.
>>340549930

No.
He's gone on record saying he didn't write stories ahead of time, but rather in conjunction with the development of gameplay. The gameplay takes precedence and helps shape the story. They probably have a basic outline like "the chopper crashes and they head towards the ship to eventually meet goal X" but it won't be a Marc Laidlaw written story.

getting vlaues between 100 and 300.
They wouldn't put a full third of their fucking staff on L4D3.
The Steam platform is easily 3x as important to them and requires 3x the infrastructure as L4D3 would.

Because they are listed as development staff doesn't mean they exclusively work on said project.

Not true, up until a couple years ago they had all of 14 employees managing the entire platform. It's also why their customer support was shit for years.

Huh, they did 20 investigations and found no crimes.
But your little teenage brain watching Fox News sure know what the TRUTH is
Goldsrc is still best engine
It's going to be really bittersweet. You guys all know how it feels when you realize that a game you've been waiting for to come out finally comes out, you buy it, you play it, and it's done and over with? All that hype has long faded into memory?
Well this is going to literally be a decade of hype. I have no idea what this is going to do to me, or if I really want to play it.

Guys, it's going to happen, no matter how much you deny it, the obvious hints about "surprises" and Geoff's tweet should be enough.
I work for ESA. It's hard to keep my mouth shut around friends who won't stop asking me shit, I had to sign a contact that basically says I'll be getting buttblasted if I tell anyone.
I'm telling you guys though. Get ready.
If HL3 gets announced I'm going to cut myself off of all internet a week before release to avoid leaks, and I'm not going to use the internet until I beat it.
I'm not fucking close to risking spoilers for this.

Sven Co-op would have at least three times that if their devs hadn't made a total PR fuckup
>>340552251
I think the true test of an engine is in how flexible and malleable it is; and GoldSrc beats Source to a pulp in that respect.
Everything in HL2 looked spindly and wiry to me. Even the textures somehow looked like they'd been through a PS contrast/level filter.
It's hard to explain, but there's something about GoldSrc that rubs me the right way. Maybe it's just plain nostalgia, but it honestly looks nicer to me.

It's not just nostalgia because a lot of people really tried to like Source, myself included. It's smoother, you've got more swing in your player movement, the NPCs maneuver around much more challenginly, the lighting is more vibrant, it's easier to make content for... the detail and bling was in good texture art, lighting, and architecture rather than 2 megapixel detail textures for concrete walls and sand, or automatically generated grass.
I think the closer we try to inch towards realism, the less it leaves room for colour and artistic freedom. I liked Black Mesa's labs, offices, bunkers, deserts, and red cliffs much more over the grey City 17 and the outside or coastal areas that were just infinite sand and waste.
>>340552712
Basically Valve gave the Sven Co-op team engine access to GoldSrc, and they were given a once in a lifetime chance of releasing their game with the HL singleplayer campaign standalone for free: as in anyone could now play HL on Steam for free.
The PR fuckup first came where they had no PR at all first and released it in January when nobody was there to notice it. The second PR fuckup came where the lead dev exposed himself as a twat who would sooner cling onto his shitty little kingdom than let someone competent fix bugs that make the game crash all the time.
HL3 is the most hyped game of all time.
Everyone knows it. Valve knows it.
I'm 100% sure they are working on it, but it's been polished and delayed. Why?
Well considering Valves interest in VR and HL2 port for Oculus as an experiment, it's obvious they are making it VR compatible. Mark my fucking words, HL3 will eventually come a\out as Vive exclusive and it will be mind blowing.
Anyone who tried HL2 on rift knows what I'm talking about

Remember when a game magazine posted a half life 3 reference on its last page and someone counted all the holes in the elevator only to google search the number and find a half life 2 file?
Remember when simultaneously there was a Korean update in hl2 that effected everyone and added sound to music files? And the valve twitter put in Korean "prepare for unforseen consequences"? Remember when Surgeon Simulator instantly put an update that put Korean at the bottom of a tf2 figurine. Remember when all of this combined turned out to be nothing and that faggot surgeon simulator guy was just fucking with us to sell copies.
Remember when that prick lead the entire internet on a hl3 arg that turned out to just exist to fuck with us? Remember when a valve employee did the exact same fucking thing last year?
Yeah fuck getting hyped anymore. I still won surgeon simulator.

Because the same devs / people who do nothing, hang around in the same circle for 10 years and develop a sense of seniority and arrogance over anyone new / outside / below them. No one challenges them because everyone is involved to some extent, and the community is too small for any kind of public outcry to happen or leave a dent.
