Half-Life 3 is in the Final Phase of Development – Rumour

Yes, I'm posting a 4chan leak, deal with it.

We know it's coming. Very very soon.

It was foretold by Gyromancy.

... oops, wrong game.

Anyway...

Okay don't even care anymore, it's coming some day. But now a thought... Just imagine everyone having their GOTY lined and all nice and neat around that time near end of the year and then HL3 randomly drops 🔥
 
Reveal at TGA. Geoff has a ton of clout with valve.

Draft the tweet. It's happening. I for one would love to see something come out and take Mid Obscur 33 off of its high horse but they will want more marketing lead up. March of next year probably.

I don't buy, it because it's not listed for consoles. There's no way they botch Half Life 3 by not bringing it to consoles day-and-date. Theres no way Valve is that stupid.

Apart from Portal 2, Valve has never shipped its games day-and-date on consoles. Hell, Alyx never got ported to PSVR.

And let's not start with all of their GaaS titles.

Valve could live through not ever releasing on consoles

Actually, what if they have their console around the same time? Want to play it for cheap? PC/Steam OS exclusive.

They had the balls to put Half Life 2 behind Steam back in the days. Why not a new platform.

Portal, HL2 Episode 2, Team Fortress 2

edit2: Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2.

"apart from the time they did, they never did" hmm ok.

And TOB was launched day and date on 360.

The vast majority of people that play shooters are on console. You don't release a game as high profile as Half Life 3 and skip where most of the players are at. It's not DOTA or VR. Portal 2, the example you've given, proves my point exactly. It would've been completely ridiculous to not put it on consoles.

It's been in development (if these rumors are true) for so long that not having the time or resources to have console ports developed alongside would also not be a reasonable excuse.

But TGAs is December, tho. So someone's getting their wires crossed or the rumors are bullshit. Either way, I'll believe it when I see it. Valve could go on another 100 years and never develop another Half Life product, and take no hit at all monetarily or otherwise. Their business is operating Steam, not developing games. They don't need to make any games, is the hard truth. 🤷‍♂️

I played HL2 and the expansions as part of The Orange Box on 360. I didn't really get what the big deal was. I guess the engine tech was amazeballs on PC a few years earlier? It didn't really wow me in 2007...

I would probably pick up and play HL3 eventually just to see what all the fuss is about, but I barely remember anything from those games. Head crabs, gravity gun, a gnome, and the shooting was okay.

It was quite the thing in 2004. A lots changed in 24 years…
 
I don't know if someone already said this, but, it would be absolutely genius and profitable for Valve if HL3 would be exclusive to their rumored next game console, in my opinion
 
They're timing it with the release of their new standalone VR headset: The Steam Frame...

Joking, joking. I know it's not going to be a VR game but I would hope it's at least VR-optional.

Honestly, unless it has the originals devs then I won't care so much about it. It's been almost 20 years and I doubt the people that made it will be working on 3 at this point.

Well it aint exactly the same thing. They locked the game behind some 300mb preloading and having to use Steam to get it to work but any PC could run it. Still Id rather they put it behind a brand new console than what they did with VR which is amazing game but too much point of entry to get the game. Valve new console where everything is optimized and just plug n play and can play HL3 highest setting? Sure.
 
It has to happen at some point, but I never trust silly 4chan posts, lol. Unless somehow the person could be a verified source or something, which doesn't happen there.

You will be able to play it in VR on a big screen in 3d with special effects regardless
3D =/= VR. And I'm not even talking about motion controllers, It's the way VR conveys the sense of presence, scale and being actually surrounded by the game world in 360 degrees, not just looking at it through a window.

I recall a very similar situation last year and nothing happened. And is the source even very reputable at all? It would be a bummer if it doesn't release for the consoles.

To be fair, Bloodborne, Switch + launch games, Sonic Frontiers were all leaked on 4chan randomly. Not a trustworthy place at all lol, but it does happen, rarely. That being said, it's Half Life 3 so any rumour should immediately be discarded lol. Not only that, the very nature of the site itself makes it impossible to trust anything

Oh yeah for sure, but I'd still rather tell myself nah until there's any confirmation, haha. I also wouldn't be surprised if this was like the 200th+ time that something HL3 release related was on 4chan, lol. I just want some confirmation maaaaan. :cry:

wasn't Apex Legends also leaked on 4chan 1 year before it came out? but somehow I think noone actually took note of it.
the leak was insanely extensive as well, with a screenshot of an early version of King's Canyon n stuff.
