Could it be true? We’ve all been waiting so long I’m very skeptical anytime I see articles like this but this actually looks good?

Considering every Half Life showcased Valve's new tech in the Freeman narrative, one could argue Alyx was our Half Life 3. It had everything: the signature storyline, new gameplay, new tech. What more are we expecting from Half Life 3?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

IIRC valve outright said it wasn't HL3

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah they did. But at this point Half Life 3 has a mythical status they will never be able to measure up to.

But it was the third complete half-life game. I havent played it (no interest in owning vr kit) and even I take this view.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure but that's like calling Vice City GTA4. It's not named that by the people that make it

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 weeks ago

Okay so it's maybe 45 to 50 per cent half-life 3.

[–] Thatuserguy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Rumors I've seen are they are going all in on the physics. Like, every object in the game has material properties like flammability that will react differently in the environment. Some rumors about some procedural generation tech being involved as well, but not to what extent it's being used

Half-Life: Noita

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Sounds like Minecraft or more recent Zelda titles but for what's worth there is still a lot of untapped potential there.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You may be onto something. If we take away HL: Lost Coast, and both HL: Deathmatch versions, there are 9 titles.
With the rumoured title code named HL:X it makes me wonder how they're going to announce it (granted these rumours are true).

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 6 points 4 weeks ago

Half-life: Fornite.

[–] MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

HL3 needs to advance the Half-Life story. Alyx advanced the story about 2 minutes from HL2 because it was a side-story.

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 3 points 4 weeks ago

We've already had one Half-Life 3 but what about a second Half-Life 3

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Personally, I'd like to see one of these games end without a cliffhanger. That last one was a doozy.
