Alright boys, I take the bets.

Who says „Half-Life the Netflix Series which will be cancelled after two seasons“?

If this is actually Half Life 3... it kinda makes sense they waited for all the hype to die down, for it to fall out of meme culture, before releasing it. Even five years ago, the expectations for this game were astronomical. There was absolutely no way a game made by mere mortals could ever live up to that kind of hype. Now, people have chilled to the point they can actually appreciate Half Life 3 on its own merits.

Which is a long-winded way to say my bet is Half Life 3's been done for at least 5 years now. Valve's just waiting on the right moment to pull the trigger.

Well, as long as Idris Elba plays Freeman, I mean he best Black actor that I think fits the role, will they make Freeman gay tho?

[–] comedy@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I unironically think Idris Elba could be a good Freeman.

As far as we know, Gordon Freeman’s character traits include.. long, awkward silences and the ability to climb ladders using only your feet. I love Idris Elba, but I think almost anyone could play Gordon.

Just as long as they can hold a crowbar, that is

That was part of the point of making Gordon a silent protagonist. It’s much easier to self insert (increasing immersion)if you don’t force a personality upon the player.

With the ending of Alyx, I don’t think HL3 is that unlikely anymore.

…but I also doubt that’s what this is. The multiplayer game they were working on was (afaik) a VR thing, and I think they’ve abandoned VR too in favor of the steam deck.

[–] waitmarks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They haven’t abandoned VR, but they are switching focus with it. Take a look at the leak’s regarding the valve deckard.

edit: misread the first part of the previous comment.

[–] sector47@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

They said it was not unlikely anymore. Tiny misunderstanding.

It appears the romans may have sent a wooden rocket too the moon. It appears that Jimmy Carter may have been the son of God. It appears something may have occured.

Don't do it; don't give me hope.
