>The game will be revealed in November and released in 2026.
Will this come true?

no

Doubt it.

It's gonna be uglier than UE5lop if it ever comes out

>>724780586 (OP)
Man, even millennials like me don't give a fuck anymore. I hope it comes out and flops just like Ninja Gaiden 4. You all needca wake up call. Its not 2005 anymore

i want the game too, but hearing people claim shit every fucking year makes me want to excavate their assholes with 40-grit coated boxing gloves. 'Leakers' are such fags

What happened to the summer release (or reveal?) People weren't just making shit up again were they?

This time for real, surely.

>>724780586 (OP)
How would it be received, given that it's unlikely it would rely on a large leap forward in technology the way HL1 and HL2 did? If you play those games today, they are competent, but they're nothing to write home about.

Half Life 3?
They haven't even made Half Life 2 yet

I'm feeling it this time, just feels like the right time. Finally making games again and ripped the bandaid off with alyx so that half lifes story doesn't feel as monstrous to tackle. The doco and book coming out. New hardware on the horizon that would make hl3 a killer app. Feels like we're finally a point in time where it actually makes sense. See you on the other side everyone, we do what weve always done. Wait.

>>724780586 (OP)
We literally have this shit happen every year
And every year people fall for it

HL3 will sell millions because Valve can just have it at the front of the store on a big fat banner for as long as they goddamn want. As for the game, I imagine probably really good NPC/enemy AI/programming that will set a standard rather than some new graphical breakthrough.

>>724780586 (OP)
No until we get the UE5 remakes of the first 2.

>>724780586 (OP)
posting mcnigger should be bannable

I just want the deckard/steam frame

>Valve is pushing Source 2 to its limits
Not a hard thing to do. The engine is actually dogshit from a modern perspective. Consider this for a moment, Alyx came out in 2020. That same year we got Cyberpunk 2077, and over a year prior we got Red Dead 2. Both games dominate Alyx from a graphical standpoint. Since then we've seen even crazier rendering breakthroughs with path tracing and supplemental tech for it. Meanwhile, Source 2 is still focused on baked lighting with shitty shadow maps and some basic ambient occlusion shaders. It's archaic by 2020 standards and today it's stone age. If it's another VR based game, then it has to maintain this status quo as even with a 5090 and an equally old as Alyx Valve Index (see: super low resolution), the game is still quite demanding at high sampling settings. I can't lock 144hz at 150% resolution scaling. Now imagine an actually high resolution headset. The Index is only 1440x1600 per eye. There are headsets out there that are like 3400x3840 per eye. Orders of magnitude harder to render. This means the game will be just as outdated visually as Alyx. I highly doubt it will have any ray tracing technology incorporated in it and so it will always be dated from release on with no future scaling of faster hardware.

>>724780586 (OP)
Half Life 3 NEVER.

>>724780586 (OP)
McNigger needs another paycheck.

alyx wasn't ugly and neither are the official CS2 maps thoughbeit

why? Looks good to me.
Shove your gaytracing up your ass

>>724781065
It would be well received no matter how shit it was. HLA proved that with how it retconned HL2 and no one cared. Valve was probably testing how much they could get away with.

I wonder how many people fooled Tyler by being an "insider"

>>724780586 (OP)
Whatever HL3 is it would never live up to the hype and expectations, it's better if it never comes out

>>724783357
What do people even expect?
I expect a good game (equivalent enjoyment to Half-Life 2 first playthrough).
I'm disappointed by everything else so fuck it let me expect a good game. If it's bad, it's bad like everything else.

>>724781065
It is a huge leap, according to the leaks. It's essentially going for a complete physics simulation of everything in the game world

>>724780586 (OP)
it's the long con - say that hl3 will be released on x date, and when it doesn't, no one cares, but when it does, you're the prophet
kill yourselves right now

TWO

MORE

DECADES

>>724783507
Yeah right

>>724782404
desu alyx looks pretty cool but cs2 screenshots on the game's steam store page look atrocious lol

>>724783357
>>724783484
With AI being the most hype thing ever, I assume AI will be the main selling point of the game.
It will revolutionize the AI in video games.
And maybe harder difficulty will finally mean actually smarter & harder enemies, not damage sponge.

>>724783593
looks kino, especially vertigo

>>724783124
Yes that's what retcon means.
>use it ONE(1) time
That's just even worse.
>dead-end cliffhanger
How? There was so much potential with it from a story perspective. And even if there wasn't, this was still the shittiest way to continue. They might as well have said it was all a dream. Definition of garbage writing.

>>724780638
I feel like posts like this have to be bots. People always doubt there are bots on this board but this low iq retarded type of engagement post always makes me second guess

>With AI being the most hype thing ever, I assume AI will be the main selling point of the game.
I don't hate AI games really; I just hate AI games that are garbage.
Only a 10/10 masterpiece can make players accept AI.

>>724783556
That's pretty much exactly what people would've said about HL1 in 1997 or HL2 in 2003 (if not for the beta leaks)

>>724783850
Well considering the buttblasted writer (he's a good writer but he inherited the "faggy whining artist" behavioral phenotype) for the original Episode 3 just told everyone what the plot was supposed to be, yes it was a dead-end. We knew where it went.
Breengrub was never canon. It was veiled bitching from Marc Laidlaw. It's really really funny that no one even understood what he was REALLY trying to say, talking about "muh dreamers"

>>724783593
CS2 in game looks great with MSAA 4X.

When is the new Remakes? They gotta happen first.

>>724783507
>It's essentially going for a complete physics simulation of everything in the game world
Wait, isn't that how Bethesda's RPGs work?
The Elder Scrolls is full of physically interactive objects everywhere.
But because there are so many items, it causes severe cache overflow issues, requiring constant loading screens to clear cache files.

>complete physics simulation of everything in the game world
What do you define as "complete physics simulation of everything"?
That's not what any of the datamines say.
There are a lot more systems physically simulated, but by no stretch is it "everything".

>>724782185
>Source 2 is still focused on baked lighting with shitty shadow maps and some basic ambient occlusion shaders
Great. Exactly what I want.

>>724782185
It looks surprisingly photorealistic at times

>>724785425
where are the fake frames and fucked up "raytraced" dithering?

>>724783593
CS2 had to be lower in fidelity to cater to thirdies and their potato PC though. HL3 is a single player game. Why would they limit themselves this time?

>>724780586 (OP)
Two more weeks, OP, for sure.

Sure, Half-Life 3 would be nice, but...

>>724780586 (OP)
Yeah... No. Deadlock is not fucking going out of alpha after six months from now. That trash heap of a game is still unfinished as fuck with over a dozen placeholder models and assets.

Likewise there is no fucking reveal for Half-Life 3 this month. Maybe next year, but not right now. You newfags nevwr heard of the meme "Valve Time".

Artifact 2 incoming

>>724787931
deadlock project 8 is a retard but the half-life 3 is real, just wait

they were hiring engine devs just lust summer
two years development time for AAA doesn't sound realistic by today standarts

>>724782185
Red engine is very incosistent. It looks beautiful in one scene and completely fucking ugly in the next one.

>>724790139
They started development in 2020 after finishing with alyx, engine work at this stage is focused on optimization.

Where's the artifact schizo? Is he alive? I'm getting worried.

>hl3 comes out, is actually solid 8.5-9/10 by any metrics, runs in 4k at 100fps on three year old cards, offers hundreds of hours of replay ability, priced at $60
>Immediately hordes of industry shill begin pumping out articles how it's unreasonable for gamers to judge any other game by same metrics and that ue5 isn't at fault ever

>>724790573
Valve flew him out to playtest Artifact 2

>>724791004
>hundreds of hours of replayability
I only have a few dozen hours in hl2 if you aren't counting standalone hl2 mods.
The typical AAAA open world sloppa has more broad appeal and staying power for normalfags than a 20 hour campaign.

>>724790139
>two years development time for AAA doesn't sound realistic by today standarts
If they have a proper vision for the engine and the game that is based around that engine, anything's possible.

>>724791004
I keep dreaming that GTA6 will be released at 40-60$ in hopes to get the rest via online mode.
The industry wide meltdown would be legendary.

>>724791275
GTA6 will overshadow HL3 by a lot next year but at least HL3 still has a chance with PC playerbase considering Rockstar didn't bother with PC port atm.

People are not ready for how good HL3 will be compared to all the UE5 garbage we are getting. 144+ FPS on mid-end cards, baked lighting and insane physics, no stutters, mod/workshop support. Gaming is back in 2026

>>724794332
This, HL3 is an ego thing for Valve and they want to farm game awards. They'll optimise and polish the shit out of the game

That dude is literally the old hermit living in a cave in the mountains, spooking travelers with "wisdom" as they walk by. He's completely delusional, and has made a hobby of raising then crushing hopes.
Fuck him, even if he's right this time, double fuck him for thinking being wrong a thousand times doesn't matter when he's finally right for the only time it counts.

>>724794952
when was he wrong about half life lol, they worked on hl3 in 2013-2015 then it got cancelled and then they worked on HLVR aka half life alyx which Tyler correctly predicted

>>724780586 (OP)
Tumor weeks.

>>724791275
The replayability of HL is in its mods - CS, TF Classic, GMOD). So expect great mods that utilize the base game. But also supposedly the main campaign will have AI Director from L4D and RNG to make it more novel with each playthrough

>Valve's been working on deadlock for the past 5 years and not even close to beta
>OMG! OMG! HL3 RELEASING 2026 GUYS
why are notalfags like this?

>>724791376
Nah, that's just not how Valve makes games.

>>724798189
You cocksucker they have been working on HL3 since 2020 or little bit earlier thats almost 6 years with a dev team of almost 100 people plus outside contractors, with infinite budget. the leaked strings you can find yourself in source 2 updates to dota2/deadlock/cs2. if you're too dumb to do that then its not my problem. the game is coming out soon and u are delusional if u think we are all faking this information

>>724798497
>They're not working on Half-Life 3
>Oh THIS? They just did it for no reason

>>724782185
LOL the only good engine that you mentioned is RAGE that runs RDR and GTA, the rest is absolute slop with shitty graphics and terrible physics, Cyberpunk is a shitfest with glitchy vehicles and ragdolls that clip through entities and garbage optimization, and it applies to all the rest of the games that run on UE5, ray tracing that eats half of your framerate and looks 5% better or sometimes worse than baked
