ALMOST A YEAR AND NO NEWS, COMEON I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY FOR MORE HALF LIFE CONTENT.

>>716372806 (OP)
Speaking of which, wasn’t HL2 Deathmatch supposed to be merged into HL2 like the episodes? It was delisted on Steam, featured in the documentary, and there’s an invisible button in the HL2 main menu. When is that going to get finished?

>>716372949
Hold on, didn't they add it on the same annie update? is it really still missing?

>>716372991
It’s speculated it was supposed to but didn’t get finished in time. But yeah, it’s still not merged in yet.

>>716372806 (OP)
>>716372949
They forgot lol

>8 months into the year
Still holding onto the "delayed because it contains HLX info" cope.

>>716372806 (OP)
they meant 2025 in valve years, silly anon

>>716372949
hopefully we get new maps when it does

>>716373245
but that would mean half life was delayed again

>>716373985
d-delayed doesn't mean cancelled....

And where’s the finished version of Artifact Foundry and million-dollar tournament?

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

>>716374047
you said that last time

>>716374121
>January 2021
this copypasta is really almost 5 years old now? jesus

>>716374121
Sar this thread is only for things people care about, and no you don't count as a person.

>>716374121
>Valve fell for the TCG meme
>Valve fell for the Autochess meme
I wonder what provoked this level of retardation.

>>716372949
Hopefully they'll finish it in November when the anniversary event starts again. Judging by the HL2 fixes yesterday, it seems like they're still working on HL2 stuff atm.

>>716375053
>dota is our most popular franchise, we should expand it in some way
they even fucked up the cartoon and hired a producer who turned dragon knight into a self insert instead of focusing on different heroes

>>716373396
Aw man that would be great. Their new HLDM maps looked amazing. Imagine them doing the same thing to HL2DM.

>>716375467
I forgot about the shitty DOTA cartoon. Trusting Netflix was so stupid on their part.

>>716373245
It must have considering the book will contain Episode 3 stuff. No way Valve would abandon everything from that in their next HL game.

>>716372949
my hl2 episodes are now in the tools section of my library.
tf2 doesn't show up in my library unless I install it though.

>>716375658
>Being anti movie/series adaptation for years
>Canceled that TF2 animation series with Adult Swim which was supposed to be partly in-house
>But somehow Dota Netflix adaptation got greenlit for some reason
I still have no idea what Valve was thinking.

>>716375854
I really would like to ask Gabe about it but he always ignores my emails.

>>716373245
i don't know if i'm allowed to share this but fuck it
BELIEVE IN HL3

oldest trick in the data fishing book

>>716375959
there are better fish to catch than here of all places

>>716375915
It's disheartening that there hasn't been a single breadcrumb since February when some sources are insistent that it's right around the corner.
feels like 2013 again

>>716375915
>The voxel destruction thing which was rumored was fake
What a shame, I actually want that. Also it's kinda funny how they went all in on the vehicle physics to the point they had to poach Forza and GTA for it.

>>716372806 (OP)
20 years. Imagine how many fans died in that period without ever reaching the conclusion of Gordon Freeman's story. Fuck Valve and fuck Gabe Newell.

>>716376169
What is the page I'm not clicking that

>>716377651
Just a compilation of confirmed info that HLX/HL3 might contain based on the Steamdb Source 2 data leaks.

>>716376661
>20 years in the can, I wanted Half Life 3. I compromised. I got a shitty dead-on-arrival MOBA instead. I wanted valve to ban cheaters in Counter Strike for once, but I compromised, I got the Activision-Blizzard treatment. You see where I'm goin'?

>>716377651
whiteboard with all of the HLX references in various game files/interviews

>>716377706
NO! NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! HALF LIFE 3 IS BEING DEVELOPED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE MY FAVORITE E-CELEBRITY TYLER MCVICKER TOLD ME SO!

>>716377807
it was being developed 6 months ago at least

>>716377953
>Survived the winter break
What's that mean?

>>716378089
most cancelled valve games happen because valve takes most of december off and when they get back they either don't feel like working on it anymore or they showed their friends and family what they were working on and it was poorly received

>>716375915
And I thought I was a big fan, you people are on another level.

>>716377807
I mean even without those eceleb elements, Valve suddenly went all out on HL stuff this much was rare. First time they've been doing all this really.
>"We're excited to work on HL universe again (interview after HLA was released)
>All the anniversary events (HL1/HL2)
>The audio commentary with the not-so-subtle line about a future HL title (bank roof mortar part)
>Valve re-releasing the Raising the Bar book which includes stuff from the Episodes including Episode 3 and it's not even out yet
>Valve actually showing footage of Episode 3 from concept arts to gameplay ideas
There's too much noise just for it to be a red herring.

>>716379056
It definitely look like something is about to happen. Would it kill them to announce the damn thing?

>>716380854
Fremont + Deckard + Ibex + Roy + HLX + SteamOS, all at once.

>>716381049
are they going to attempt a steam console again

>>716381171
they already had them when they were sampling HL Alyx.

>>716381049
>Fremont + Deckard + Ibex + Roy
What are those?

>>716381876
mini-PC / console, VR Headset, Steam Controller 2.0, VR controllers.

>>716382062
Too much hardware, for my taste.

>>716382160
yeah I have little interest in VR myself, but the controller is a guaranteed purchase for me, and depending on what the mini-PC is, that's also on my radar.

Typical valve time, we'll see the book by Aug next year and the hl2dm update in 2027.

>>716384908
They're bracing for something next year. It'll be Valve's 30th anniversary.

Valve "games"

>>716386524
What about them?

recently they called CS2's season three, "season two episode one"

>>716388121
I think that's just them taking the piss and running with the 'can't count to 3' meme

>>716372806 (OP)
I don't give a fuck, where is Half Life 3. The episode stuff was ass.
