HL2 was crap so no thnx.

Unless you played it when it first came out, it was mind blowing. By far the best game i have ever played (at the time it was released).

But the level design was arguably a step-backward from the first iteration.
In all honesty. None of the HL games were *that great* they were decent. Taken by itself that's all that can be said of the original HL Taken as the sum of its expacks and the game could be considered 'good' but not ground breaking.

HL2 was decent but a little too 'set-piece focused'. the expeacks just came across as being repetitive.

There's more chance of walking on jupiter than HL3 ever getting released

That chance is 0%. So, about the same.

What do you mean by "confirmed"? HL3 was released in 2012, and Valve actually made Alyx Vance a protagonist instead of dead Gordon Freeman. I mean, its almost likt MassEffect Andromeda, but Half-Life. Plus it was bugged as hell since 2nd chapter, where you could go through gates only by using cheats because of broken triggers.
Not a big surprise Valve deleted it from Steam in less than 6 months after release because of thousands of negative reviews. I mean, rating less than 20% positive. Jeez...
Stop pushing that corpse.

Troll.

[Sazzouu]

Nope
It's Half-Life: Alyx

[honx]

before working on any "games" these incompetent script kiddies should UNDO that fckng ugly and unusable BLOATWARE ui and bring back the old ui!

[President Trump]

No, Valve can't count to three. They instead announced HL:Alyx.

[The Maddog]

Took a while since this thread was made but no, no HL3. Just Half Life: Alyx, a fully fledged AAA VR only game.

Salt to some no doubt but I'm looking forward to playing it and glad Valve is finally dropping one of their 3 VR titles they keep discussing.

[wuddih]

Valve is sailing the VR ship since they R&D'd on the Vive 5-6 years ago. there were partly media outlet news stories over the years that for certain amount of time over half of Valve employees had something to do with VR.

VR will, without a doubt, play a big role in the future of entertainment.
Valve sees that future, I see it too, even when it might not be meant for me. I puke with every headset after a few minutes.

it certainly needs a "killer" title that will break doubts and set a defined standard of what VR can do at this day. maybe that is Alyx, maybe it isn't.

but HL3 or HL2EP3 is just a meme, stop pushing on it, won't happen.

[TheRandomGuy]

Not Half-Life 3, but Half-Life : Alyx.

Valve intends for it to be VR's "Killer-App". In other words, they want it to be the AAA Game people see and go "I'm buying a VR headset for that game" in order to increase adoption rates of the technology.

Before you say it though, it's not a ploy to get people to buy Valve Index Headsets, it'll most likely work with Windows Mixed Reality (The Cheapest Headsets), Oculus, HTC Vive Headsets, and of course, the Index. Valve doesn't do exclusivity on purpose.

I get the sentiment and yeah, this and the other 2 VR games Valve are working on will probably sell headsets but I don't really think there is any such thing as a "killer app" for VR as it's going to be something different for everyone.

If you're a sim pit gamer then odds are, you're already racing cars, flying planes or spaceships in VR (or are at least considering it). There is (personally speaking) absoultely nothing like flying a ship in VR in Elite: Dangerous. Hands down some of the most fun I've had gaming since 1983 (though it's much more than a game when you are in there) and the sentiment is shared by many others who play Elite. Same for sim pit racers.

If you swap up to the FPS players, most of them rave about Pavlov. The type of gamer who likes music games love Beat Saber....so on and so forth.

At the end of the day, VR is a tool to be used however the end user sees fit. It's not a gaming device anymore than your keyboard and mouse are gaming devices. They both are and are not.
I think when people realise that and look at what VR can offer them rather than focus on whatever big name game comes out (which yes, will absolutely sell headsets) then VR will become much more main screen.

Not gonna spend a cent on it, finish 2 first.
