Half-life 3 - are you really putting this in your advert MSI?

UKMach · 10 Mar 2017 at 18:44

Checking out the new nvidia 1080ti today and noticed that MSI are pushing some mega ultron hype with stating it will have fantastic technologies for super fluid frame rates in action packed games such as Half life 3. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/detail/index/sArticle/66525

I have four theories to why they would state this:

1. They are being a little bit presumptuous about HL3 ever happening
2. They have a crystal ball or some kind of CIA funded psychic and know it will be happening
3. They know something and have just leaked it
4. They think we are idiots who will succumb to marketing hype to buy their products

Im working with number 2 theory so far.

Fallout 5 listed as well. Not sure if the advert is satire, intentionally misleading or just utter garbage.

Packed with all the latest NVIDIA technologies and supporting fantastic G-SYNC technology for super fluid frame rates in action packed games such as Half Life 3, Fallout 5, Prey, Quake: Champions and Doom, take your gaming experience to the next level with GeForce GTX 1080Ti.

This is what happens when you hire bored interns.

It's no laughing matter.

I imagine it's done for the purpose of getting people talking about the advert.

It's overclockers doing it. They've been doing it for quite a while now.

Lighten up, it's just in jest.

HL3 is three letters, so summing the first three digits of 1080 and then dividing by 3 equals 3!

HL3 confirmed...

Original Half-life was Ok but Goldeneye was a much better shooter... Half-Life 2 was bettered by a game called Vampire the Masquerade which used the source engine and came out before HL2..... Move on, Half-life was never that good so stop caring.

Yeah Gibbo said he was doing it in another thread, i think he just wants to see whos paying attention

Doogles · 10 Mar 2017 at 22:13

It gets attention, I don't like it myself but I can see why the marketing team have done it. When we get HL3 in 20 years time I'll want a replacement as it's not fit to run what it was advertised too do.
