There have been around 3 versions that never made it very far (less than a year) and the current one has made it 5 years

Half-Life Alyx came out a mere 5 years ago.

The only thing that made me think 'maybe' was that there was mention of a shooter everyone was waiting for. I did think it would have been a bit odd for valve to announce it there, they'll just drop a YouTube video and let it do it's thing.
I'm still fairly confident it's coming soon though, we'll see I guess.

Considering it requires you to own a VR headset, basically no one played Alyx

Well, sure.
I feel it's kinda different this time, with HLX datamining, the Tweet from Mike Shapiro last year, Steam Machine / Steam Frame on its way, the whispers to some of the people in the industry.
Compared to just someone saying "its coming this year".
But these things I mentioned doesn't mean HL3 is even close to beeing revealed, but there is more substantial things pointing towards something now then ever atleast.

It will likely be announced with their next Steam machine event. I remember Half life 1 was successfully used to promote Steam. They could do the same with HL3 to promote Steam machine.

Lol, says who? You?
This is why people get so fucked off, because they believe some nobody and then some other bigger nobody with 10k followers on X or YouTube will post some bullshit then it snowballs into a whole load of dissapointment.
The ONLY people to trust are:

There was some dude on this very forum who gave me shit because I dared to call Tyler McDipshit out on his schtick of telling people for years that Half-Life 3 is coming etc. Unsurprisingly, Tyler was full of shit yet again.
So, if the guy who gave me shit is reading this: Get fucked.

I do think they are doing a Half Life game. But it's not a SP 2D AAA game.
Valve is regularly updating a Source 2 project called HLX, which references the HEV Suite and Xen aliens. This is how we learned about HL:A (HLVR). So sure it may never release, but it's not the same as a guy talking about seeing a flying saucer while driving home from work.

His last press basically a cubic guy setting on a cube and now we've seen his GabeCube. Cubes are smart lazy beings.

I used to be a huge Valve fan, but that was when they still made games like Half Life, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, Portal, Counter Strike, etc. Sometimes I feel like the continued reverence of them by some people is 10+ years out of date. I don't hate them, though. I just don't think about them any more for the most part.
Tyler was the one saying the game would not be announced at TGA and will probably now not be announced this year.

And he, just weeks earlier, hyped people up about the game getting announced in December before. And this is by far not the first time he did stuff like this. I feel he repeats that at least once each year. I bet he will hype people up again about a Half-Life 3 shadowdrop or announcement when Steam Frame and the Gabecube nearing their release.

No actual huge game will be announced there. These big ass companies and big IP's DO NOT NEED Geoff and his shitty commercial award show to gain views.
HL3? Bloodborne 2? GTA 6 trailer 3? You would not see those at his show.
Also lmao who the fuck is Tyler Mcviker even ?????

The announcement of this game is an event in itself. It doesn't make sense from a publicity point of view to do it there.

I'm taking it a step further and will not buy a game until it is OUT of beta stage!
There is a lot of hype in general, due to the HLX leaks and a number of respected industry figures coming out and saying they expect another Valve announcement, and Gabe Follower and Mike Straw specifically saying they were told to expect an HLX announcement this year. All Tyler added to this was to state that there were rumours of a trailer being made, and to speculate based on this that the game could be announced in November. He said he couldn't verify any of the release date rumours, but made clear that the game would not be announced at TGA.
This time around the release/announcement date rumours are coming from the industry as whole, not Tyler specifically.
