Somewhere in the depths of the ruins that populate this cavernous game, we found a game shop selling promise of a certain item with a familiar logo. More so, a recognizable face was plastered around it. A symbol “3” stands next to a banner simply marked “soon.” Next to the shop, eager fans have died, waiting in line. It is the Holy Grail.

Ooh, this isn't in the 3DS version.

 

[Yager]

Guys, it doesn't exist, they're playing with your minds.

 

[IAmMonodi]

god dammit I must be one of the campers

 

[Eusis]

So if Half Life 3 were to ever come close to release the world would end. Yeah, that kind of makes sense.

Was there anything in the 3DS version like this? I couldn't recall.

 

[sn00zer]

Didnt notice the campers at first....pretty funny

 

[hateradio]

Now! Soon . . .

Never.

 

[cw_sasuke]

PC version looks nice - will get it on Steam.

No, looks like additional content. I need it.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

When it's actually announced, Gaf will be down for a week

 

[Ysiadmihi]

That's hilarious. Can't wait to double dip.

 

[Sinfamy]

Soon...

 

[UltraGunner]

I subscribe to the theory that Half Life 3 does in fact exist, and Valve is simply holding it back as a backup in-case they begin losing money. If GAF wants HL3, then we must stop spending money during steam sales!

Half-Life 3 confirmed

Im fairly certain Left for Dead 3 in the Valve leaks is actually the codename for Half-Life 3

 

[kutthoat5150]

How long have valve been teasing "soon" now, I swear if it's not announced next year...ill still buy it when it comes.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

They did that just for the pc/steam version?

the dead campers, lol

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Why are people waiting in line? Surely they were there for Steam's launch.

 

[Lulubop]

STEAMworld, guys it's happening. January is only a month away.

 

[JaseC]

There are separate groups for Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3. Valve isn't going to create red herrings in its internal project tracker.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

is this game good? it looks nice.

 

[EatChildren]

The day Half-Life 3 exists I'll probably buy a physical version if just to have something mythical to touch.

 

[xBuTcHeRx]

DO NOT fall for this, its never coming. And I hate that!!!

 

[Jak140]

STEAMworld, guys it's happening. January is only a month away.

Nah, it's just a Steamworld dig.

 

[Pop]

Half-Life 3 confirmed

took long enough

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

I wonder who is more desperate, Half Life fans or Shenmue fans.

 

[sn00zer]

For codenames? Sure why not? Most codename projects use the codenames internally through emails ans such.

 

[JaseC]

Do you truly believe that Valve is using Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3 as internal codenames to refer to other games?

 

[Mx_Paladin]

I wonder who is more desperate, Half Life fans or Shenmue fans.

Half-Life because we got Gaben fat jokes, and Valve time.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

That's pretty funny.

When the news hits, gaf servers will probably implode.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I wonder who is more desperate, Half Life fans or Shenmue fans.

Well, Half-Life at least has mods and a potential future.

Shenmue is fucking dead, people just never let it go. So I guess Shenmue fans lose out here.

 

[Ishan]

I think we've had a leak to the extent of saying valve wasnt doing half life 3 till when they can do animation on the scale of hl2 (looking at you first person) but on the same fidelity as uncharted etc .... aka not happening for a long long time. (like 2 3 more years atleast) . the tech is not there as far as we know ... so 2016 woo hoo .... maybe. Maybe.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

is this game good? it looks nice.

It's one of the best eshop titles for the 3DS, so yes, it's pretty fun. Reminds me a bit of Spelunky (no roguelike though). A lighthearted Spelunky.

 

[hiro4]

The 3DS version was great.
A bit short IMO, about 7 hours, but a great game.
I guess it felt short because I wanted it to last much much longer.

 

[Robot Pants]

Boy I can't wait til HL3 is unveiled. Not even released. Unveiled.

 

[Yager]

Shenmue is fucking dead, people just never let it go. So I guess Shenmue fans lose out here.

You, yes, you. I hate you.

 

[the TMO]

Metroid Fans.

I remember a rumor about Valve not having sufficient mocap tech or something like that, but never thought it was credible.

 

[SpaceShark]

Gordon Freeman has got a white beard in the poster. Even he got old waiting for the game to come out lol

 

[CecilRousso]

That game looks nice. Is it any good?

 

[sono]

Is there a secret combination of keystrokes and mouseclicks that causes the shop to open

 

[Brerlappin]

HL3 is never coming. The sooner we accept that, the sooner we can move on.

Also, Santa isnt real.

 

[IAmMonodi]

Does the 3DS version have Mother 3 btw?

 

[imageform]

The line is actually showing all of Image & Form waiting for HL3. Sadly, the world as we know it ended before it came out.

Thanks for noticing this little touch. There are a number of things in the game that weren't in the 3DS version - only to make you buy it twice. Mouaaahaaahaaaa... Tomorrow SteamWorld Dig debuts on Steam! And it looks AWESOME!

 

[D_prOdigy]

DO NOT fall for this, its never coming. And I hate that!!!

I dunno, brah, I think this is pretty good evidence that it's coming soon.

 

[so1337]

Yup, looks like I'm buying this game.

 

[ChiliManiac]

I don't believe in coincidence...

 

[Chuck Norris]

I secretly think this long delay is the best possible thing for the franchise. You got the feeling there was a bit of franchise fatigue by the time Episode 2 shipped.

 

[Hypron]

Half Life 3's announcement at this week's VGXs confirmed.

Believe.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Half life 3 exclusive for Xbox One and PC

Just kidding
