[Nate75]

Thinking more like a sequel to Alyx...

Something Half Life looks to be on the cards however

The Gamescom companion app appears to be hinting toward an announcement related to Valve's Half-Life franchise.

Or Alyx on PS VR2. Or perhaps a non-VR Alyx version?

BAN

:edit: hmm actually not a total nothingburger. Fairs.

BAN

I was very tempted to title it "Half Life 3 Confirmed" in which case a ban would be fitting lol...

 

[Noxia]

I vant go through this again.

:facepalm:

Yeh read in another thread that modders have almost completed one so I guess that's within the realms of possibility re a non VR official release etc...

No, it's called clickbait. The source is a reddit page, and in that very page it says "Valve is not officially confirmed to be on the Gamescom yet."

Ah bugger..,

It did pop up on a FB feed so I should have been more 'vigilant'.

Why wouldn't they make a Half Life 3. It makes so much financial sense.

Also what every happened to Half Life 2 episode 3?

They started making DLC for Half Life 2 and released episode 1 and 2 but 3 is still MIA.

It's similar to why square took so long to make a Final Fantasy 7 remake, because riding on the existence of an unsullied previous product, no matter how distant, is better than sullying it. Look at star wars, people still loved the OT when the prequels came out, now Star Wars interest is at an all time low. Valve are judged on their previous projects, and while HL3 doesn't exist their previous projects remain pretty stellar across the board. Making a large entry to the series just opens them up for criticism, criticism that can create upset in their core business, which is now selling other people's games. The risk of getting HL3 wrong could be company ending.

That's why its going to be Half-Life 4.

Probably just a Steam deck showcase

 

[Fubsy]

I'd like a Half-Life 0. Playing as a headcrab or something. HL: Lamarr.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Next year is 20th Anniversary of HL2. So will probably get something, just unlikely to be HL3.

No that can't be right, it only came out a few years ago..... *Turns to dust*

HL2 remade in Unreal Engine 5, with CPU stuttering as a feature!

do valve even have a development team anymore? Assumed they were too busy filling up their baths with the billions made from steam and rolling around in it.

They seem actively against game development when they bought Campo Santo, the team making In The Valley of Gods and then made them stop.
