Half-Life 3 Has Been Designed to be 'The Final Chapter', It's Claimed

62 comments

Half-Life 4 confirmed!!!!
If Alyx required a VR headset, Half-Life 3 is gonna require that brainchip.
- gabe working on it, boy
  
  Not gonna happen for me
  
  Pass.
  Especially if it's anything like the story of Alyx.
  edit: Apparently, not liking a fanfiction.net tier story that undoes the emotionally charged ending of the last game and brings back a character who's voice acgtor died is a contentious opinion. Well, it's not like new-Valve gives a shit about VAs reprising their roles. They couldn't be bother to ask Merle Dandridge to come back in any capacity.
- Valve has said on at least a couple occasions they don't really have interest in making games anymore, unless there is some new technology they get interested in that they can make a game around.
  The HL2 episodes were basically tests for different source engine technologies.
  Alyx was basically then playing around with VR.
  So yeah, I can totally see some weird fucked up thing like a brainchip being what HL3 is built around, if HL3 ever stops being anything more than a syphilitic hallucination of a desperate mind.
Cannot believe people are still talking about this 20 years later...
- People still want a good Star Wars sequel.
  Hope burns long.
  
  Andor is a good Star Wars sequel... to the prequels
  
  My wife asked me when we're watching Star Wars. I told her "When the story is finished".
  
  We got like a dozen sequels 😂
- Half-Life: Alyx came out 5 years ago…
  
  Alyx is not HL3, and I don't get it when people say it is.
  HL2E2 ended and we were left partway through a story that never received an ending.
  
  Right, that's not what's being discussed.
- To be fair we know that a HL Sequel was worked on by Valve several times but always scrapped in various stages of production. So the rumours really came from somewhere reasonable and not just from pure speculation and desperation.
As if anyone would still be around for Half-life 4 anyway
Hey, I'll take anything over being stuck on the cliffhanger of Eli's death for 20 years, and wrap up the whole Combine story as best as possible.
- cliffhanger of Eli’s death
  Uhhh your missing a game there bud.
  
  Wat
  
  A game 90% of people can't play.
  Should have left the main narrative alone.
- As TachyonTele suggested, you may want to play or read into Half Life Alyx. Time travel got involved.
- That cliffhanger got addressed in Half-Life: Alyx. And replaced with a different cliffhanger.
Imagine getting HL3 before GTA6. The meme potential would be out of this world
- We've been needing something since Duke Nukem finally shipped.
I'm far past the point of caring. I've moved on with my life
I've been fooled before. Not getting my hopes up till valve posts a trailer.
- kinda brave of you to believe in valve even if they produced a trailer.
  
  What can I say? I'm a hopeless romatic. Granted it would have to be more than a teaser trailer. But still, I suppose I'm subject to flights of fanciful hope.
trust me bro, insider gaming
Bring back the Seattle Sonics if we are gonna be hopeful for things from 2 decades ago
No.
Ya think? lol
I'll believe it when it's out, but that would be the best decision, no one likes waiting 15 years between sequels.
- Only 15? Episode 2 came out in 2007.
  
  I was purposely avoiding doing the math to not feel old.
TIL the grabby gloves thing I missed due to lack of VR gear wasn't HL3.
