21:40 - "HLX is being playtested so religiously and so widely that there are individuals who will just talk <...> I currently have avoided all of them but I've been offered it by people whom are trustworthy and I know some of my contemporaries have been given it so there is information out there about the plot..."
35:20 - "The game is not VR. Half Life 3 is not a VR title."
38:30 - The 'procedural generation' in HLX does not relate to terrain or roguelike-ish mechanics but something like the Left4Dead director made "significantly more powerful". Doors, physics props, enemies, enemy types items, NPCs of any kind will be influenced by said director.
44:40 - HLVR (Half Life Alyx) had way more leaks compared to HLX so far.
46:30 - In relation to old HL3/Episode 3 stuff, the Weaponizer, the Ice Gun which they revealed in the HL2 s probably keeping their cards close to their chest for this one.
1:05:30 - Chell might show up in HL3. Also talked about this earlier but it's all mostly fluff.
1:10:50 - "Erik Wolpaw wants to do Portal 3 so fucking bad." When answering a question about what single player project Valve will do after HLX. This is public info and said by Wolpaw himself.
1:12:20 - "If I had to GUESS - (HLX will have a) Summer announcement; Winter release."
1:15:40 - Project Fremont/Steam Machine 2.0 is on hiatus for the moment. Deckard first. Then Steam Deck 2.0. Then Steam Box.
1:23:10 - "The Deckard runs Half Life Alyx just on it." There's a huge hardware rant a few minutes before this. ARM-based stuff. The same shit SadlyitsBradley talks about.
1:23:55 - Valve plans on releasing some software for Deckard. One is being made by a third party.
1:25:08 - The leaked Steam Controller 2.0 is for the Deckard. Will probably work for PCs in general but it's primarily as a Deckard sidepiece/accessory.
1:45:15 - "Deadlock
is a very experimental kind of game <...> This is still pre-alpha shit <...> There is a private playtest(a new private playtest. yes it's different from the existing public one)..."
2:14:00 - After HLX releases, people on the team will most likely retire. Depending on who retires and how it affects the team dynamics then Portal 3 MIGHT be the next single player project for Valve.
2:17:10 - "This is the furthest (HLX) has ever been. Period. The game is playable - end to end. Period. (Other HL3/Ep3 have) Never been that far. And they're optimizing, polishing, and they're probably content locked and if they're not then they're mechanic locked."
2:18:52 - Procedural generation (ie. L4D Director) and advanced AI will be pushed by HLX.
2:43:20 - There are less "insider" leaks now as opposed to HLVR because Tyler got cocky (streamed a beta build of Alyx) and was slapped by Valve's lawyers, people are way more protective of HLX and a lot of people talked about Alyx more because it originally sucked ass (hence the rewrite), and he lost his Discord account that had those contacts. But he also doesn't want to talk about insider leaks more because of that legal scare.
