Don't do this.

I've waited 100 years

_SilverHawk_1d 11h ago

hopefully its a vr game or has the option to play in vr

TheColbertinator1d 11h ago

The second option hopefully. I haven't played Alyx VR since the VR goggles hurt my eyes.

LordoftheCritics1d 10h ago

Alyx VR was incredible.

Still unmatched

-Foxtrot1d 9h ago

VR as an option - Totally fine.

VR Only - No thanks

I've been a Half Life fan since the original and have waited since 2007 for a sequel, it was already a kick to the nuts to have Half Life Alyx, a game which changes the ending of Episode 2 and will clearly be required to understand the story going forward in HL3, be a VR only title so I don't want a proper, full on sequel to be VR only aswell, it would be highly unfair to the HL fans who either don't like VR, can't afford it or can't do it for whatever reason.

Luckily going off the rumours, HL3 is a more traditional game.

Sybau! Lol jk but please only the option. I’m still not buying vr today lol

Amplitude5h ago

It'll probably be VR exclusive with full body tracking sensors and a treadmill required to play

Now we know, why GTA VI got delayed.

I wonder if the rumours are true - that it has a highly destructible environment and very reactive with hot/cold with realism placed on wind and other physics, I guess it makes sense, HL2 was very impressive at the time and it carried over into GMOD. That's what I really liked about it, everything built into the engine.

The only thing that might slightly disappoint me is if they don't upgrade the graphics more. I like that Source and Source 2 has such a clean look, I just hope they push it so it's more like Source 2.5 if they haven't budged it up to Source 3. Being (supposedly) the game to finish the original story I hope they go all out if they can while maintaining high frame rates with modern hardware.

Source 3? Bold of you to assume Gaben knows how to count to 3

PRIMORDUS1d 1h ago

If this is true I'm going to guess it would be still using the Source 2 engine.

SimpleDad20h ago

I hope!!! Dude... let's go! Can't wait!

RaidenBlack11h ago

We haven't seen the best of Source 2, yet.
No really.
Checked some threads, many features are still WiP.

Plagasx22h ago

GTA 6 and Half Life 3 releasing in the same year?? IMPOSSIBLE.

FPS_D3TH13h ago

6 hours too soon bro. GTA delayed to next year

Profchaos20h ago

It just seems so impossible that after so many years and so many false leaks and rumours this might be it.

I don't know how to feel about this the game has so much weight on it in terms of expectations now half life alyx was amazing so I think they can do it but they would be feeling the pressure

Half-Life 3 Is A Call For More Series To End

If Half-Life ends with 3, it should be a call for more series to wrap it up.

Oh i agree.
Especially CoD and them annual sport titles 😎

PRIMORDUS34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Me to I want HL 3 to be the last in the series, it will probably still use the Source 2 engine but I would guess heavily modified. Then you know Valve will release some kind of collectors edition that includes all the games, then years later more remasters 😂

goken34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Me too. At the rate valve release games, if they did HL4, it would be something like 2050 😱😱😱

goken33d ago

Not only CoD will never end, many of it’s spinoffs never seems to end either.

I would love it if Capcom would throw a curve ball shock everybody with a Dino Crisis remake. I would day one the game if it came true.

BrockEmSockEm119d ago

5. Resident Evil 9
4. The Next Final Fight (Street Fighter)
3. Housemarque’s Next Game (They made Returnal)

Not even getting my hopes up on anything involving this until it's actually confirmed.

1Victor249d ago

How many generations has been since HL3 rumors of in development or will feature X.
I’m getting old has it been 3+ gen since it’s coming next generation 😱

thorstein248d ago

The original code was written on a Vic 20.

The_Blue249d ago

Naw it's definitely being worked on in some fashion. They just got in a position like Rockstar in which they can take their sweet time.

OtterX250d ago

They weren't kidding when they said this would take half my life.

RaidenBlack249d ago

again, take away his^ drums ...

OtterX249d ago

You can alwaye count on me for terrible Dad jokes! 🙃🥁

Fist4achin249d ago

Seriously. Gordon's going to be moving about with a walker by the time we get to play it...

OtterX249d ago

He won't be a Freeman anymore, bc he'll be locked up in a retirement home!

Fist4achin249d ago

The notorious crobar will be replaced with a walking cane!

thorstein250d ago

Valve does not make games with the number 3 in them.

HL3 is not happening.

RaidenBlack249d ago

yep it'll renamed to Quarter-Life 1

OtterX249d ago

Oh boy, you just had your own drum violation! Somebody get this guy! 🚨 🥁🚨

iNcRiMiNaTi249d ago

They can always give it another name at the end like they did with Alyx

dveio249d ago

This is almost like 'H³ will use shaders and sound effects'.

jznrpg249d ago

Interesting but we have heard rumors for years. It’s sad that they print money selling games but for the most part stopped making them. They can take risks but don’t.
