Half-Life 3 will launch with the Steam Box, the Steam Deck 2, the Steam Index 2, SteamOS, and the Steam launcher and it will be exclusive to all of them and PC. I bet the new Steam Controller 2 along with the Steam Deck 2 will be very important to this game along with the Index 2. Valve about to show how it's done.

I presume he means that he wants each HL entry to have something as new as you can get for the time.
Every new HL has got to be a game that beats the industry to the punch by being the very first to do several things for that generation.
Could be a big reason as to why 3 had stopped development; maybe they couldn't find or make enough to work with at that time.
>>719147950 >Every new HL has got to be a game that beats the industry to the punch by being the very first to do several things for that generation.
this just doesn't track well because there was nothing new in hl and hl:a, only physics gimmick in hl2 was novel enough to be mentioned
>>719148142 >there was nothing new in hl
The scripted events and NPC interactions was pretty new at the time. You would walk and see scientists running begging for help, youd kill the monsters and they'd thank you. Then they take the elevator but it breaks down and they die anyway. Same with enemy humans retreating behind pillars and coordinating attacks based on the map geometry.
That kind of stuff wasn't really there before, at least not to the degree it was in HL.

Don't post parasites.
You are a rapist. You have put degenerate material into people.
You should be killed. As same for any done the same after you.
steam drones are easily the most obnoxious and delusional fanbase alive on earth today
even the hardest bootlickers learn and move on after almost 2 fucking decades
but not steamcucks
>>719149624 >If you think the adventures of fucking Gordon Freeman are swirling around in his geriatric head, you're the idiot here.
Except we know for a fact through datamining in CS2/DotA/Deadlock patches that Valve has been working on HL3/HLX for a while and in the past year the updates have ramped up more and more.

anon, he's 62 and rich, and lives in the most stress-free way anyone possibly could
he'll be fine for probably another ten or fifteen years
>>719145995 (OP)
Does anyone here know why he never made HL3? I never played the series myself (never had a pc) but it seemed like it was one of those games that was super popular.
>>719150110 >we know for a fact
You know that it is in some level of development. That's it. Exactly what we know about the Deckard too.
Half Life Alyx wasn't officially announced as existing until 4 months before retail release. Half Life X could be scheduled for 2031, you don't know. And Gabe ain't talkin'.

he's also obese, yes he lost a lot of weight but he was obese since he was a teenager. You can't just reverse a lifetime of damage like that.
>>719151998
I hate that they played it so safe with Alyx
imagine if you could take and use this and the big ass charger shotgun as limited power ups, arcade beat em up style
>>719148308
Yeah, Half-Life 1 was the first FPS to really try and make the world feel real. The plot was still as basic as Doom but they put a lot and time and effort into making Black Mesa feel like a real workplace and your coworkers like real people.
As for Alyx, eh. It doesn't do much new but it's got a lot more spit and polish and higher production values than any other VR exclusives of the time.
>>719155839 >Dota 2 got moved to Source 2 in 2015 >No Source 2 Base SDK >No SDK for Linux users despite them completely nuking the microsoft monopoly on gaming with DirectX middleware on a whim because ONE GUY wanted to look at 2b's ass in 2018.
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.
>>719158038 >No Source 2 Base SDK
this is absolutely criminal honestly
not even one for HL Alyx, so much cool shit we could be doing with Alyx like fixing how fucking barebones and safe Valve made it but we can't because we have no fucking source code
>>719158592
Alyx has an SDK but it's windows only.
What we DON'T have is a base SDK for developing original games.
The closest to something like that is the SteamHome SDK and the problem with that is, obviously >Steam Home is abandoned >VR Only >People practically don't even know SteamHome exists. >Windows Only so basically ALL that's there is map ports and occasionally they forget to even put in fucking world collision
