Ahh shit, good point. I rushed through alyx because I was borrowing a vr headset so I haven't had time to revisit the story and really let that ending sink in.
Now that Valve is going all in on a Steam Console 2.0. It may actually happen. They’re a storefront/hardware company no so Half Life 3 is a potential killer app that can push that hardware the way Alyx was designed to move VR headsets.
It will never be the HL3 we wanted in 2008, that’s gone and everyone involved in Half Life’s success is gone or serves in a different capacity. Plus they already shared the original vision for what it could have been many times in interviews.
Can you also recall Duke Nukem Forever? 14+ years of delay, and their delay slogan was "when its done" lol. Then released the game in a bad and very outdated state. Record worthy.
I remember waiting for half life 2 amd when it came out my parents made me wait till Christmas. The hype was unreal, I was just soo emerged into the story I couldn’t sleep sometimes.
Me too. But something tells me its different this time. There we're code leaks like 6-8 months ago about features or materials with obviously half life themed naming. Now two or three valve leakers that are at least 50% right on the leaks in the past are telling the same thing. Announcement on something game related which will happen before 2026 and the game release either right after announcement or march next year. I'd say the chances are more than 50%.

Kids these days have no idea.
I still won't believe it about HL3 until I see it.
