I'm sad not to see Half life 3 coming

[Спарта]

I had offered a hundred thousand dollars to Valve to participate in the development of this jewel in order to receive a contribution later and this was refused, why not please the players and finally unveil this wonder?

Half-Life Alyx. <---- Are you sure your a huge contributer? you missed 3rd episode...

[Спарта]

I did the whole series and even played the rarest episode called decey ! But unfortunaly I can't play to ALYX because I don't have the helmet for VR

Give these a try if you have not already. From what I´ve seen of them, both are great. I thought they remained pretty close to the original work. Maybe a little bit increase in system requirements, but nothing too extreme.

I should probably list a lot more here in this thread, but I still need to try them first. Let me know if you find any more good ones, I'd gladly play them.

Seems quite odd if you have a 100k to burn on developing a video game and call yourself such a fan of the series.

I know,

"I'll give you 100k to make a new Half Life game but i will not invest in a VR headset to play a new Half Life game....."

There isn't enough VR gaming for my liking yet, I'm a senior (23 years old)

[Спарта]

Believe it or not I really do speculate on certain video games, it's like the stock market! Otherwise in real life I am a workshop foreman in a garage.

[Crazy Tiger]

23 year olds are seniors? I must be dead then.

Game developers choose themselves what they want to create. "Pleasing the fans" is useless if one doesn't want to create something, it's doomed to be bad then anyway.
Besides, Valve is heavy going in on VR, it makes sense they went the route they did.

Half-life 3 will be exclusive to Brain-computer interface. Valve is working on BCI prototype right now.

Which would require at least some knowledge of what you do to be profitable.

Valve has an estimated equity of some billions making a profit of a good billion per year, too.
Developing a decent video game takes a budget of more than million nowadays and even indie titles break the ten million mark.

So you were offering basically peanuts for them to do what they have explicitely said multiple times will not happen.
And even IF it happens, it bound to be heavily controversial no matter what they do.

He also said back then that Apple would dominate living room gaming and Playstation and xbox wouldn't keep up.

So GabeN is not some kind of prophet with super special insider information. He is a genius innovator with a lot of good predictions, but also a human so he makes many mistakes like everyone.

Nah. if 23 counts as senior then folks like us are beyond dead.

In such cases the act of creation becomes a mechanical task, devoid of joy, pain, or any emotion in its doing and lacking all sense of relief or triumph on its completion.

Besides, Valve is heavy going in on VR, it makes sense they went the route they did.

It kinda makes sense.. Valve likes new toys and VR gives them a way to try out new tech, develop new design principles, new forms of engagement. Irts a fundamentally new way of interacting with a game. II mean its not for me but II can see the appeal of it. It's a shift, like when film went from B&W to color, and again when TV's did the same. New filming and set design techniques had to be created to get the est out of it. New make up tech as well...

Also OP. Honestly the reason there's no HL3 is that it would bbe an absolute dead space. No amount of polish will live up to the internal hype and headcannon people have built up over the years. What they're doing is taking a lateral approach, exploring pockets of the universe and world in new ways.

It is odd that you offer 100k dollar to have Half-Life 3, but can't purchase VR hardware.

Sorry for saying this, but I don't think Valve will consider your offer seriously. On one side, most likely this user won't really give 100k dollar. On other side, they are multi billion dollar company, so they have more valuable projects elsewhere.

You can hear what they might do in the future with the HL series here...
