Cannot believe people are still talking about this 20 years later…
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 days ago
People still want a good Star Wars sequel.

Andor is a good Star Wars sequel… to the prequels
P1nkman@lemmy.world 3 days ago
My wife asked me when we’re watching Star Wars. I told her “When the story is finished”.

Half-Life: Alyx came out 5 years ago…
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Alyx is not HL3, and I don’t get it when people say it is.
HL2E2 ended on a cliffhanger, we were partway through a story that never received an ending.
Alyx is a prequel to HL2.
If Peter Jackson never released LOTR: Return Of The King, but still went ahead with The Hobbit, that would not make it a conclusion to the LOTR trilogy, it would still just be a prequel film.

Right, that’s not what’s being discussed.

To be fair we know that a HL Sequel was worked on by Valve several times but always scrapped in various stages of production. So the rumours really came from somewhere reasonable and not just from pure speculation and desperation.

Imagine getting HL3 before GTA6. The meme potential would be out of this world
Denalduh@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Honestly I feel like the next Elder Scrolls would be a better example than GTA6.

As if anyone would still be around for Half-life 4 anyway
Flemmy@lemm.ee 2 days ago
Tbh my existenial paranoia kind of took it that HL3 would start irl and I was one of those civilian models.
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I’ve been fooled before. Not getting my hopes up till valve posts a trailer.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 days ago
kinda brave of you to believe in valve even if they produced a trailer.
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 days ago
What can I say? I’m a hopeless romatic. Granted it would have to be more than a teaser trailer. But still, I suppose I’m subject to flights of fanciful hope.

Hey, I’ll take anything over being stuck on the cliffhanger of Eli’s death for 20 years, and wrap up the whole Combine story as best as possible.

cliffhanger of Eli’s death
Uhhh your missing a game there bud.
wewbull@feddit.uk 3 days ago
A game 90% of people can’t play.
Should have left the main narrative alone.

SPOILERS!

As TachyonTele suggested, you may want to play or read into Half Life Alyx. Time travel got involved.
Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 3 days ago
That cliffhanger got addressed in Half-Life: Alyx. And replaced with a different cliffhanger.

it doesn’t look like anything to me
killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It looks like a dog with no eyes. Now I’m sad
wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
I’m far past the point of caring. I’ve moved on with my life
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 days ago
TIL the grabby gloves thing I missed due to lack of VR gear wasn’t HL3.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 days ago
No.
arararagi@ani.social 2 days ago
I’ll believe it when it’s out, but that would be the best decision, no one likes waiting 15 years between sequels.
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Only 15? Episode 2 came out in 2007.
arararagi@ani.social 2 days ago
I was purposely avoiding doing the math to not feel old.
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 days ago
We wouldn’t live long enough to see part 4 if there was one
Jackcooper@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Bring back the Seattle Sonics if we are gonna be hopeful for things from 2 decades ago
THX1138@lemmy.ml 4 days ago
Ya think? lol

If Alyx required a VR headset, Half-Life 3 is gonna require that brainchip.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Valve has said on at least a couple occasions they don’t really have interest in making games anymore, unless there is some new technology they get interested in that they can make a game around.
The HL2 episodes were basically tests for different source engine technologies.
Alyx was basically then playing around with VR.
So yeah, I can totally see some weird fucked up thing like a brainchip being what HL3 is built around, if HL3 ever stops being anything more than a syphilitic hallucination of a desperate mind.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 days ago
All their games are tests for different technologies or business models. In hindsight, Gabe has never cared about the story of Half-Life. He just happened to have hired a good writer for HL1 and HL2 by accident. It’s why I’m more interested in the fanon then the canon at this point. Half-Life: Echoes and Entropy: Zero are criminally underplayed.
