I'm sad that valve has so far shelved plans for Halflife 3.

They might revive it, but I think they even stopped working on the new Source Engine.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By new Source Engine, are talking about Source 2? It already powers Dota 2, Half-Life Alyx and the upcoming Counter Strike 2.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I believe it was actually Source 3. I remember news from a few years back that Valve had stopped work on it.

I believe it was early in development at the time.

After completing alyx, I wouldn't count it out.

Everyone should play alyx.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not even finished Alyx, I started again when I got my new build done and I went from an 8/10-10/10 and I haven't even finished it yet. I played HL2VR mod immediately prior and it has completely changed the way I view the whole series.

Yeah it took me literally years to complete it and then suddenly got on a roll and finished it in one week. On completion I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. It was a fantastic journey.

It's given me a huge perspective shift on why the 7-hour war was only 7-hours.

The combine in their prime before Dr Freeman's crowbar entered the scene, is a terrifying machination.

My appreciation for Alyx Vance has also skyrocketed, badass woman, through and through.

Edit: forgot to mention A FUCKING VIDEOGAME LETS ME PUSH THE DAMN ELEVATOR BUTTON

I thought they officially announced Half-Life 3 was dead a few years ago. They released the game's script online so fans could get some sort of conclusion.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Valve didn't release it, just en ex-employee though, right?

And it wasn't the script, just what that employee planned it to be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Marc Laidlaw, one of the creators of the series

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep, it was Marc Laidlaw on his personal blog after he left Valve.
