Dr. Freeman, have you tried the Medicine Drug?

What would you want nudged, anon?

>>720106475 (OP)
Considering HL2 wasn't even as good as HL, I doubt it.

>>720106475 (OP)
Half-Life Alyx 2.
Then Portal VR a few down the road.
Half-Life 3, never ever.

>>720106475 (OP)

Yeah about that...

if turbonormies get "motion sick" from those shitty stationary teleport games LMAO we're never getting that shit

I dunno man

>>720110338
Based off my experience with No Man's Sky that shit would go hard

>>720111006
you're a literal NPC

>>720106475 (OP)
I'd hope so, but I'll believe it when I see it.

>>720106475 (OP)
ain't no such thing. HLX is Half Life Alyx 2

>>720106592

Don't let Eli hear you!

>>720110338
All Valve games are nowhere near that type of game dynamic. You have to be a new kind of stupid I am not familiar with if you believe this particular rumor.

Thoughts on Barney being your travel buddy now?

Not really, that was the idea behind the HL3 version that was in dev from 2014-2016, where all the combat sections would be procedurally generated and Gordon would have the apeture arm manipulating elements and shit (tho with how much HLX is putting into fire and electricity details, that concept might come back).

>>720111761
Whether HLX ends up being a finished and announced game or not, we know for a fact its a Gordon game.

Is anyone still alive to even remember HL1 and HL2?

IF HL3 ever gets released you are all gonna be too old to enjoy it

>>720112179
Barney is great but I'd like it better if Dog is coming too.

>>720114090
i played the hl1 demo before the main game even released

>>720114090
You may be old but are you 40

At any case HL3 sequel will be disappointing and won't live up to the hype because

>Alyx, a canonical prequel/continuation of the story with wide reaching consequences is exclusive to VR unless you play a gimped watered down unofficially modded version
they clearly don't care about feasibility

Are they gonna make le evil woman from Alyx into next villain/combine administrator?

>>720114940
They need more meme-esque lines for sure. I'm afraid Valve will go 100% too serious and trying to be way too perfect with everything about the game and they didn't bother with these goofy things. I'm not saying the kind of humor from Portal 2 or Half-Life Alyx but the unintentional humor from HL1 and HL2 with the scientists and the rebels.

Reminder: Breen was voiced by Debra's father from Everybody Loves Raymond and he has passed away.

Rest in peace, bro.

>>720115278
They said they have plans for her so maybe. I think we're going to see a new faction in the Combine hierarchy, the Combine sympathiser with their own science team.

>>720115357
The dude was in Columbo multiple times as the main villain, he's great.

>>720110338
It's a timeloop game after the intro/tutorial section in the arctic and its focus is on npc reactivity and how doing the same actions in roughly the same time interval across different loopsproduce the same result.

I predict it will run well at medium settings on regular hardware. It won't be the prettiest game, but it will look gorgeous.
The biggest technical focus of the game will obviously physics: Destructive environments. Bullet penetration, elemental interactions (fire, wind, liquids). A raycast audio system.

My second bold prediction is that it will be playable both on a flat screen and VR.

>>720110338
That was way back in like 2014, that's been scrapped already.
It doesn't fit Half-life which are more cinematic experiences.

>>720115371
I'm convinced the Combine are so large there are rival factions screwing each other over, and the Gman is just working for the guys who want to undermine the faction who took Earth to make them look incompetent.

>>720106475 (OP)
The only thing I recall from the Source 2 "leaks" over the years is that there is going to be a strong focus on how materials can be interacted with, eg what temperature materials will combust at.
That might be cool I guess, implies a focus on environmental interaction and destructibility, haven't had much of that in aeons it feels.

>>720116295
The one thing left to make this perfect will be a proper fluid simulation in the game to top it off. Some small game studio did a half-decent job back in 2010 I'm sure Valve can do it now.

the character barely moves as the water jostles around
and would a door like that be able to open/close under such conditions?

>The 2012 HL3 prototype with Gordon being able to modify Dog
>Slowly adding a bunch of stuff to it from turrets all the way to jetpacks
I kinda hope they're still going for that in the new game. It's basically The Last Guardian on steroids.

>>720106475 (OP)
whatever it is, it is literally doomed to fail. It's been too long, people expect too much, whatever it is, it won't be enough and people will judge it for that. I'm sure even valve doesn't even want to call it half life 3.

>>720110338
Not quite true, looking at datamines and more believable rumors, the only procedually generated element seem tobe entity placements (items, ememies) and maybe doors you can open. Level geometry doesnt seem to be affected. It basically is just an advanced L4D2 director.

>>720118458
Wonder how it works this time and where they're going to put that system in. I don't mind it as long as they're not sacrificing their handcrafted set piece levels.
