[GrayChild]

There are several leakers who claim HL3 is almost finished and is just waiting to be shown. We had Alyx released in a very short timeframe after the initial trailer (4 months), so I'm willing to bet Valve will take the same approach.

it's about time, boyos. I can feel it, we're getting close. As close as we've ever been!

 

[Hideous Snake]

Nope, I don't see it happening.

 

[clarky]

No

 

[Draugoth]

Valve would announce it at their own showcase

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

We actually will get one in 2025 is my prediction.

 

[seething left]

It will release in November, like HL2 back in 2004. Announcement in September.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

You people need to give up. Fucking he'll.

I get it. Half life is great but it's been like 20 years. Even if they did do it they wouldn't be able to live up to the hype.

Stop torturing yourselves and just give up.

 

[Bartski]

yes

What is this, a post from 2016? We know the game is coming and we know Valve still have in them. The game will be good. Most of us want a good game with a proper closure and that's what we'll get. No need to give up anything.

 

[LordOcidax]

Gabe is a really smart guy, he knows that HL3 is never going to meet the players expectations. That's game belong to our imagination forever.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Yes, Believe it!

 

[bitbydeath]

Pretty sure this rumour has been around since Half Life 2 released.

 

[DeepEnigma]

No. But please do surprise me.

Alyx was phenomenal.

 

[Little Mac]

 

[Codes 208]

Not a chance in hell

Not before GTA7 anyway

 

[kevboard]

(I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment)

 

[Warspite]

Nope.

 

[BennyBlanco]

No, and I don't think we'll ever get it. But I could definitely see a new VR half life to launch with their new headset.

 

[Signalis]

Half-Life 3 announcement is as likely as Koudelka getting a remake

 

[Skifi28]

There should be a "clown shoes" option in the poll.

 

[Smiggs]

I really do think we'll get it sometime in the near future (I'd guess by end of this generation), but I'm not too hopeful about it being this summer. I'd love to be proven wrong, though!

 

[Sentenza]

At this point I will always bet against HL 3 until the day it actually happens.

P.S. Let me make it double clear, for people who are thinking about more or less credible rumors doing the rounds: even if a bunch of Valve employees would come out to confirm "Yeah, we are working on it" I would STILL bet against the game actually releasing, until the day it actually happens.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Half Life 3 is coming this year to take the GOTY!!!

 

[diffusionx]

I dont really care but voted yes because it would be more interesting than whatever slop we are going to see

 

[Trogdor1123]

I've heard the internal release date is confirmed as February 30th.

 

[Unknown?]

Valve would announce it at their own showcase

Nope, will be at the next State of Play.

 

[Ristifer]

I'll say yes, just because I want it to happen. I'm ready.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

As i mentioned before, i kinda feel it coming. They don't have the crazy expectations they used to have, so it'll be easier for them to release the game without the extreme pressure on their shoulders. The thing is, if it does come out, it'll use Source 2, and Source 2 looks outdated as fuck. The first two games were amazing and looked amazing, and this is what i'd like to see from HL3, but i don't see it being possible with their engine.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I want to believe, but I also don't want to be hurt, lol. I know there have been a lot of things pointing to it happening. But I've wedged myself in a neutral state and will not budge until I see an actual confirmation.

Could it happen? Maybe. Could it not? Maybe.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Half Life 3 is coming this year to take the GOTY!!!

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Look at HL3 coming before BB2 remake. Holy shit Sony.......................................

 

[Wildebeest]

I predict yes but it will be so disappointing that Valve will cancel it again only for rumors to start again in 2035.

 

[Valonquar]

At this point they would need a full reboot, not just the Black Mesa treatment.

 

[flying_sq]

Sure, exclusive launch title on Dreamcast 2

 

[analog_future]

No.


Lock it in for The Game Awards.

 

[Pakoe]

I will get a crowbar tattoo if this happens, but it wont.

 

[begotten]

You really think Valve cares about doing announcements and the traditional marketing lead-ups for game releases anymore.

HL3, which is real, will release when it's ready.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Valves impact isn't through "half life" so no.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I also voted No on Oblivion remastered happening, so I'm hoping I'm wrong again lol

 

[simpatico]

Shadow drop in September.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Why is it so hard for people to understand when Half Life 3 will come ?

No it won't come until Valve have a good reason to market their VR or new engine or something new. Half Life will be a tool to advertise it.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

No

But I could see a sequel to Alyx.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[KyoZz]

My head says no but my heart says yes.

Pretty sure this rumour has been around since Half Life 2 released.

To be fair, we know for a fact that the game has been in development multiple times, so these rumors might not be false.
But we also know that everything Valve tried for a potential HL3 came to nothing since they failed to "crack" a formula as revolutionary as HL1 and 2. But now, with AI I could see it happening. This revolutionary technology could be NPCs capable of responding in real time to the player for example.

Anyway, an announcement of HL3 would break the internet!

so you think its all bs?

 

[LordOcidax]

so you think its all bs?

Yes… HL3 rumors are around since 2010… For me is almost a meme at this point… I have no hope.

 

[badblue]

I'd love to be proven wrong, but after this much time I just don't believe HL3 will ever happen.

A new game in the Half-Life universe (Like Alyx 2) is much more likely then a direct sequel IMHO.

 

[_Ex_]

I can feel it, we're getting close. As close as we've ever been!

 

[drganon]

Nope.
