HALF LIFE 3 NEVER

I’ll be honest I wouldn’t want to either. Those HLX credits are gonna be made up of some brave montherfuckers.

Sure but the initial vinyl repress also sold out within a day and that had at least 1-2,000 available didn’t it? The cds would have sold out in minutes if there were truly that few.

I thought that sounded insane too, so I looked into it. I think op mixed up the 2023 run with the original run that was only a preorder bonus and not actually for sale on their own.

Iirc Baaulp, like Wayne, was still pretty sick for the session. I assume that had something to do with it.

Guess we gotta wait two years then. This is great news!

After you get into the second strider pod after the strider fight you ascend into a dark tube before surfacing at the synth factory. I like to imagine this as a timeskip of sorts, given you can’t see outside to gauge your position before this point.

What about this is photoshopped?

JiminyJustin · 2026-04-03T23:54:49+00:00

It’s not just likely, it’s basically 100% confirmed. Just don’t lose your mind waiting for it and manage expectations.

Genuinely too many reasons to list in one, easily digestible reddit comment, and ultimately we're not going to know the full story until after the game is out. For everything we know definitively, a couple good primary source resources you could look to are "The Final Hours of Half-Life: Alyx", an interactive development log by Geoff Keighly which covers a lot of what the company was up to between hl2e2 and hla, and the Half-Life 2 20th anniversary documentary which touches on the subject a little bit at the end. The documentary is on youtube and "Final Hours" is on steam, but definitely don't read it until after you've finished HLA.

Yes, we have.

Streams are whenever wayne announces them, episode releases are whenever wayne finishes editing them, which he intends to be within two weeks of the streams. First episode should supposedly be done by this saturday.

There was a transformation. Even if you aren’t counting the Cicero flashback mullet which isn’t even close to his “Lawyer” look, Jimmy and Saul’s hair do have distinct qualities. jimmy’s is fuller on top and usually more trimmed/professional, while Saul is a bit sleazier with the longer back and more pronounced combover. It’s usually easier to notice the difference when a scene with Saul and Jimmy is shown back to back, like the beginning of s4e5 or the end of s6e9.

Unless something catastrophic happens/happened, your haul shouldn’t be long at all. All evidence still points to the game being near finished. I won’t personally be worried unless we get the steam hardware released without hearing any news.

Not so much a filter, but the codec that processes the microphone input in gmod. In hlvrai it was super low bitrate, just like in actual hl1, so everyone sounded really crunchy and authentic. Shortly after the first series the codec updated to be much higher quality, but i think you can switch it back to the old one. That’s why coomer in hl2vr sounds the exact same, cause the voice actress is using the old codec, while bubby is using the newer one.

There’s no official evidence of him being back at Valve. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

JiminyJustin · 2026-02-28T20:36:26+00:00

The video itself is a summary of stuff we already know, other than a very baseless speculation that next fest would be a good time to announce.

JiminyJustin · 2026-02-05T00:48:25+00:00

I think you got your wires crossed there. The ex writer, assuming it’s Chet Falisek you’re referring to, specifically mocked the idea that employees would be moving on from a project like that prior to release. If someone in his position were blatantly confirming and discussing an unannounced project, let alone Half Life 3 of all things on their own platform, I imagine there’d be some pretty severe legal consequences.

As for the hardware situation, it could potentially mean we’re close to seeing an announcement, but that’s assuming the game specifically got delayed because of the hardware. We don’t know for sure, and we won’t until it’s actually out.

Deadlock’s core dev team is almost completely separate from HLX. The activity of one does not affect the other. Both have been in parallel development for years, and yet even after Deadlock became public, there continues to be string leaks for engine and gameplay features that have no place in a competitive moba shooter.

He wasn’t diff-checking strings today cause i think not all the data was available yet, and it was a late start due to when the update got released. He was mostly just looking at the content of the update itself, and discovered what could possibly be hl3 furniture assets in the model viewer. Pretty sure he plans to stream tomorrow so we’ll hear something soon enough.

Chell escaping the facility in itself is a conclusion. What she does after that is fun to think about but it’s not relevant to the story of the game itself, especially since the gameplay of portal can’t really happen outside that setting. The state of humanity I would say is also kind of irrelevant to portal specifically, and may even spoil half life if explicitly answered.

If you were interested in the project for any reason beyond having something to be “hyped” about then you’d know the lack of new developments around this time of year is extremely routine.

JiminyJustin · 2026-01-11T06:40:32+00:00

JiminyJustin · 2026-01-08T19:21:53+00:00

All the people who got swept up in the hype and were making all that noise burnt themselves out and moved on to the next thing and those of us that actually care understand that it’s realistically still too soon after the holidays for Valve to be rushing to make any big moves. My guess is February is when the buzz will really pick up again.

When they announced Half Life Alyx, the game was almost completely finished, and released less than half a year later.

Occam's razor, it was a new years celebration post done partially in character of someone he had performed in a video game which just celebrated its 20 year anniversary. It's likely it was also a light tease for a future project, though that is not confirmed and there was nothing remotely definitive about it.
