This would be a massive moment for the gaming industry if it were to play out that way. Absolutely would kill all my interest in any other games tbh. Can take or leave DOTA, but the others...

ALyx was a niche side game while Half Life 3 is a huge big mainline mainstream game that they'll want as many people getting into it as possible. So not making it on the flatscreen which is over 95% of the potential buyers is going to be a huge no.

They could still easily go the RE7 route where it'll be made for both VR and normal mode cause it'll definitely have a VR version but they can't ignore the normal version since most people don't care about VR.

Plus the graphic and style of Alyx is a huge step from Half Life 2 and would definitely still be impressive to the masses and would still be seem as a huge improvement and upgrade over Part 2.

I hope they do the RE7 approach, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'll believe it when I see it. If it's really that far along then why haven't they announced it yet?

Because valve doesnt need to do quarterly reports and projections to bunch of people who dontr give af about games like ea, ubi etc does.
They could announce it next week, drop it in march and people would eat it up nevertheless

(hate Reddit and it's a fucking shithole but that thread is a nice summary).

While this would be amazing during the show, what if Valve drops these huge announcements right after TGA? Nobody will be talking about TGA anymore and only about Valve.

Dunno, tbh. I saw his name appear in various threads on Reddit and it seemed like people took what he said seriously instead of bashing him as unreliable. Take that for what you will.
