Half-Life 3

The lights in the theater go dark, the only light shining is one spotlight on the stage. Everyone in the crowd is frozen silent, you could hear a pin drop in the massive room filled with game journalists and workers of the industry.

"Please welcome to the stage, Gabe Newell of Valve!"

The crowd goes ballistic, people are bolting out of their seats at supersonic speeds from the sitting position to raise their hands clapping, screaming for Gabe. Adults of all types are seen weeping while others are jumping for joy, at home those watching the livestreams are clapping at their computer screens hollering Gabe's name, some are screaming out their windows at random pedestrians that Gabe has taken to the stage. People in the streets are stopping on the sidewalks and vehicles on the roads are screeching to a halt to watch the stream on their phones.

Gabe has taken place at the middle of the stage. He raises his hand with a flat palm to quiet the crowd, people in the theater and on stream are holding their breath waiting on Gabe's every move. Every second feels like an eternity. With his hand still reached out he begins slowly raising his hand higher straight into the sky above his head, the audience has become frozen with anticipation. All over the world daily human activities have come to a halt as people tune into Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest Stream. Nature has begun to take notice as plants and animals increasingly become distressed at the sight of a stun-locked humanity.

Gabe with his palm raised as high as he can reach it, folds two of his fingers to leave 3 lone fingers standing high above his head. "Half Life 3, Holiday 2025"

People in the crowd are losing their minds, they are clapping, screaming, crying, laughing, rolling on the floor, meditating, throwing up, some are seen floating in the air after having reached a higher plane of existence upon hearing the news. People outside the theater are throwing celebrations in the streets, aliens make first contact in order to come down to Earth and join in the festivities. All wars and crime have stopped, world hunger has been ended and all disease eradicated. A new golden age of humanity has dawned, the age of Half-Life 3.

Newer generations don't even know the franchise exists.

HL3 missed its hype window.

How many years Since 2? I think Half-Life has been played out. It was something incredible when it was one of a kind but it has been a relic for some time now.

Half-life 1 was ground breaking....I've played it countless times since it came out, and I still do.

Half-life 2 was complete garbage...I played it once, and I had to push myself to finish it.

Not complete yet it wasn;t so great. I'll agree but I don't want to be the one to say it. It WAS a GREAT engine and a REALLY nice game but it was... BORING! CS Source, TF2 and HLDMS were the good things to come out of the HL2 release. THOSE and access to the source engine.

Yeah, a lot of people here tend to get bent out of shape if you say negative things about HL2.

If it had been released by any other developer (with a different name, of course) I'd be willing to bet anything it would have received average to bad ratings and became a forgotten game.

But, since Valve made it, and they named half-life, many people can't bring themselves to criticize it no matter what.

It was fun picking up things and throwing them. The lighting and graphics were at the peak of their time. Half-Life 2 was the game that pushed a lot of gamers to upgrade that PC!

HL1 and 2 were fun. but very much of their time and even with the VR remasters (look for me in the credits) are fun but feel very basic compared to what we can achieve now.

Alyx was great looking but. feel into the trap of (imho) too many set pieces and not enough freedom.

I hope HL3 looks further than the constrained corridor shooter trope.

Oh, BTW, there is this: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVINqBTwM=/ Ssshhhh! 😉

as the years go by and once in a blue moon we get some kind supposedly "leaked" info on the supposedly "HL3/HL2 episode 3" being worked on. For me, when they actually release it, i think only HL fans will most likely pick the game up

AHEM, again, supposedly "leaked" info, besides even with the supposedly "steam ID" being hinted not so long ago, the only game what is not fully released yet or not being sold or free to play yet, but if you have a friend who can invite you, is pretty much Deadlock.

dont get me wrong, i'll be excited, but i'll wait until it is officially released, HL3 i mean

I really hated half life 2. I didn't like driving through a whole map of nothing or having NPC teammates forced on me that only got in the way. I did like throwing the can at the officers though.

I thought half life 1 was only just ok. Black Mesa felt way better in a lot of ways until it got near the end where it kind of dragged on for way too long. Still I prefer Black Mesa over the original half life.

Coming soon - "Casablanca 2". You waited 84 years to find out what happened after the plane took off; now, finally, the exciting conclusion. Starring Ncuti Gatwa as Rick Blaine, Lady Gaga as Ilsa and The Rock as Mr. Joe Yugartson.
