It's time to let go.
>Alan Yates, a hardware engineer at Valve commented on Reddit saying – “I was super fortunate to start at Valve right around the time Michael Abrash had begun the AR/VR research team. It was a much smaller team then than it is now, it has since grown to encompass about a third of the company, but the key individuals that solved most of the really hard technological problems and facilitated this generation of consumer headsets are still here working on the next generation.”
At no point does he mention Half-Life 3

There is no money behind singleplayer games. Valve makes more money in a month on CS:GO than they would HL3 if it was the best game ever made.

>>344680473
I wouldn't. I only played Half-Life 2 because I got it in the Orange Box ~8 years ago (which I bought for TF2 and Portal). I enjoyed the first HL far more, spent hundreds of hours playing mods like Sven Co-Op.

What? They make more money off of hats and selling other people's games. And most of Valve's modern fanbase don't even know what Half-Life is.

It never says a fucking thing that should directly lead you to believe HL3 is in development.
The only game that we KNOW is in development is L4D3.
Portal 3 and HL3 exist as nothing more than mere speculation.
Who cares. We all know if it's true it's going to be shit and no one cares about the plot anymore.
>>344682197
You are a faggot, Gabe. I hope your heart will stop soon
>>344681992
How much money?
https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/42si9s/csgo_generated_valve_221_million_in_revenue_in/
368k copies @ 60 bucks will be easy to make 221M
If half-life 3 will play like the first half-life then I'll have some hope in valve left
>>344679969
Valve has constantly alluded to TF2 being a guinea pig for new business practices, including shit like crates, keys, hats & so on.
So they did the same with CS:GO, and it's fucking huge there. Reps from valve have even gone up and said that it's a successful system and they are making billions out of it. Compare that with the revenue made from selling ANY of their SP games in the past few years and it will pale in comparison to the shit they made in CS:GO & TF2.
>>344682458
No way it's gonna happen
>>344682487
>pale in comparison 450M max from TF2/CSGO yet 10M copies of HL3 @ 60US - 60MILLION

Fuck off.
Yes, HL3 is absolutely nothing and a "one shot" deal compared to recurring revenues from TF2.
>>344682838
says the guy who doesnt know about DLC and SEASON PACKS
>>344682838
go back to csgo then
Bullshit click bait. Websites like this need to be formatted off the hard drives of the data centers that host them.
Nowhere does the guy ever even mention anything about HL3.
Fuck them and fuck you for making me visit their nigger website. Fuck off, faggot.

Yeah that's cool and all but half life 2 wasn't even out in 2003 you literal child
>>344686940
I think that was the joke, anon.
Valve doesn't need to make games anymore.
L4D3 will be the last one(if it even comes).
Huge project like HL3 is just too bothersome to make for such a lazy and rich company. It would probably just be a shit tech demo with VR wagglan.

I don't think valve is lazy, they've just backed themselves into a corner because they are so "community-centric", but at the same time, the only reason they're supporting their main communities right now is because they are the ones that pay out the most.
I take it back, they're only money-centric
>>344687514

why would they make it? there's nothing to gain from doing so.
Are people stupid enough to think that they haven't been working on it?
It took them 10 years to make TF2.
It's not surprising that it would take them that amount of time or more to make Half-Life 3.
>>344691475
>Are people stupid enough to think that they haven't been working on it?
Do you really have to ask, anon?
>>344691614
Not really.
I often forget that many people want things at that moment and have trouble waiting for something they want.
So many people don't have patience nowadays.
So does anyone have a real source?

>>344691814

>>344692049
Even when I was younger I had patience.
I'm glad I was taught that.
>>344691475
Valve kept people somewhat updated on TF2's development, and they had to get Half-Life 2 and its episodes out of the way before moving on to TF2, Valve progressively stopped talking about the game as time went by and as of now they refuse to even talk about the possibility of Half Life 3.
>>344691905
No, its a load of shit
There's no company in gaming that I've lost more respect for than Valve.I don't even care if it comes out anymore
>There's actually people who think HL3 is not going to come out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vRwTOIevjQ
They're just taking their time even if it is ridiculously long.
more seriously, how it's going with Source Engine 2? (because, hey, hl3 will be also about this)
>>344682487
same goes for csgo faggot, why do you think tf2 has weapons skins and a dedicated button to fap to your gun?
>>344678959
Who fucking cares? Half life was okay and half life 2 was overrated shit. Wanting half life 3 is a meme i wish would fucking die
We all know at this point that the game is being worked on with the newest source engine.
HL2 was a test for the last engine and this will most likely be the same
Who knows what exactly is taking them so long with the new source engine and what it will encompass. VR is probably going to be a big part of it and possibly the reason they delayed the newest engine is to let technology catch up so its playable on more of the market
>tfw you'll never get to be in the borealis

A site like this would never have the story first, if it were true. Besides, there's no reason to believe that it's true. The headline is a lie, and that's not a very good start.
Claim in headline:
• Valve executive comments on the 2018 release date of Half-Life 3.
Actual information in article:
• Valve executive comments on the AR/VR team encompassing 1/3 of the company.
• "Rumors" say 1/3 of the company is working on Half-Life 3.
• "Rumors" say Half-Life 3 is coming in 2018.

At least we can hope for some hl3 leaks in l4d3 code...

>The Half Life series of games began in the year 1998, when the first game of the series came out. It was followed by Half Life 2, Episode 1 which came out in the year 2004, followed by Half Life 2, Episode 2, which released in 2006. For a decade now, there has been no new half life game which has been released. Gamers have been awaiting the release of Half Life 3 for 10 years now, and all they are met with is disappointment.

Not only is it rumours, speculation and pretty much bullshit, the author of the article can't even get basic facts straight:

Half Life 2: November 16, 2004
Episode 1: June 1, 2006
Episode 2: October 10, 2007
I sincerely think that Valve is doing what they did with Half Life 2, meaning that they're moving to make a new engine first. They recently announced that they're fully behind Vulkan, but they haven't integrated any of their games with Vulkan, not even Dota 2, which (supposedly) runs on Source 2.
I think that Half-Life 3 is going to run on the real Source 2, and will be the debut single-player title for that engine. It just so happens that they got roped into the whole VR thing and they have to get that out of their system.
>>344679572
>Sweden: Javla
"Dra åt helvete" is the right way.
"Jävla" is always used before something, like: "Jävla Feminister" which means "Fucking feminists"
"Jävlar" is the original curse word, "Jävla" is when you want to express your anger against feminists, muslims, fat people etc.
And as the other guy said, this triggered me som fan.
>>344678959
Calling bullshit, as usual.
I'll only become interested if Valve releases HL 1 & 2 as remastered for PC and consoles.
Yeah, AND consoles.
>>344679572
>fuck dig
>>344703628
They tried to do it with portal 2. Way back they also said they don't want to make games without some sort of multiplayer component. However this COULD end up being HL3 Deathmatch which would be phenomenal for the modding scene with Source 2.
Why does anyone give a shit about Half-Life 3?
Valve is in it for the money, period. There's no way they'll ever make HL3 and they'll never speak a word on its existence.

clickbait is worse than ever these days.
Okay, I know this is gonna be autistic as fuck but whatever
When all this shit started (valve refusing to talk about hl3, the small leaks, the rumours etc.) it was actually kinda funny.
Gabe would always answer with something silly and we would all laugh and think that they would eventually just tell us that HL3 is being worked on.
Its been going on since 2007? 2008? The joke has overstayed its welcome and I actually find myself getting frustrated and tired whenever I hear: "Richochet 2 lol!"
Just give us a straight answer you fat fuck. People have stopped caring because there is literally no info on the game that everyone wants.
I love the Half-Life series, but I sort of want HL3 to flop just so Valve will have a shit-storm on their hands. Fuck.
Hat simulator making fatasses with too much money should not be in the industry this long, its like they're living off the fact that they made good games once upon a time.
Tl;dr:
Give us info on HL3.
how many ferns do you think cinematic mod is gonna add to it when it's released?
.........!
The game has become such a meme that I don't even care about Half-Life anymore, just like Valve.
I've become what I hate.
they practically count on people only reading the url or subject title at this point. they know the article has no hard evidence or reference to its claim in the clickbait title. they don't care. their 'readers' don't care
