Rockstar and Valve are quite similar now that I think about it. In the fact that they release industry changing games every blue moon, but have become sort of greedy in recent years.
If Half Life 3 is a thing it would quite literally break the internet not only that Half Life 3 exists but this would be the first valve game with the number 3 in it
The valve's been stuck, corroded by the money Has not been oiled for years We didn't even hope to see it running But now you're bound to learn how to But now you're bound to learn how to This time you're bound to count to three
People dont know that because for whatever reason keep writing off Alyx like it doesnt matter or exists. Aside from long time Half Life fans and VR enthusiasts who praise the game to the heavens, I see a lot of “its VR, dont care.” or “Valve doesnt care about its fans because we need a VR headset to play a new game”
@@Shockload But thats fine. Even enthusiasts, including myself, know VR is a hard sell at their price points. Doesnt mean people should just write the game off, especially when it shows Valve can still make a great game. And now that theres a mod that makes the game playable without a headset which from what Ive seen works great, more people can play it now which is only good for the people who couldnt before
I think it starts from the previous year. We got Elden Ring, Helldivers 2 (not mentioning the PSN issue tho), Baldur's Gate 3 and so on. We actually got a ton of good games recently
@@zanayn I was the same way. I don't want to vouch for your finances but you can get a Meta Quest 2 for like $200 US now, maybe used ones cheaper. It's worth it. If you're a HL fan do it. The Quest 2 is more than capable of giving you a good experience.
I did like HL Alyx, but the fights felt too slow in VR (despite me still having trouble with some of them). Hopefully if they release another VR game the fights will have a more quickened pace.
@@ricopaulson1 it's actually a better experience, because the Index controllers are bad. Alyx has a lot of gabbing things, which unless you have brand new Index controllers, is a huge problem because the grip button isn't actually a button on the Index controllers its a pressure sensor that wears our and sucks really bad, really quickly. The Quest controllers are more traditional and don't use touch/pressure sensors like that, so it's MUCH easier to play thru Alyx with those controllers. Tho I would recommend the Quest 3, it's vastly improved over the 2 in every way. The Index controllers are amazing for social games(vrchat) due to the pressure sensitive part of the controller offering finger tracking, but for regular gaming they're pretty terrible. Way more comfortable to wear tho.
@@elisenicole474 I used the Quest 3 and it was amazing. Going through my high end PC with my RTX 4080 was quite the experience. I was merely suggesting the Quest 2 to its affordability.
Regarding where hl3 will take place, I believe there is high chance for it to the Combine Overworld as mentioned in the files. And it would honestly be such a great idea. Hl1 had black mesa, Hl2 had City 17, And Hl3 would have Combine overworld
Why, by the sound of it they live like an ant nest, Combine world doesn't sound that interesting at all. I personally want Highway 17 but the whole game that allows for more freedom in doing Half-life things.
@@varvarvarvarvarvar yea theres no way, hlx seems like to me, a coop game set in black mesa, and project "white sands" (white sands is a park in new mexico) and it seems like it may or may not be something simmilar to half life decay the coop half life 1 minigames, or a remake/remaster of half life decay, i very seriously doubt that its half life three especially with all then xen shit going around and it being names "HLX" possibilty being like Half Life: Xen or some bs like that. its just not viable right now
If you take a good look at the portal storm above the citadel during the final battle, you can see the top end of huge skyscrapers similar to the citadel. I believe that's the Combine Overworld or maybe a colony of theirs.
Probably they go to borealis. Find a xen crystal like in half life before. Go to the remains of Black mesa to the test chamber. Activate a portal. Send Gordon to Xen , to the combine headquarters. In a doom style like send off. We will fight through xen to blow up the entire combine. But before that we will fight in the arctic and deserts of mexico. Sounds good eh?
I simply cannot state just how hyped I feel when it comes to the world of games. GTA6, Nintendo Switch 2, now Half-Life 3? I just pray that these pillars of gaming aren't rushed and we give the devs the time to cook, because right now all eyes are on the kitchen.
Even when mainstream games were bad in the 2020’s we had amazing indie games like Valheim, Dead Cells, Star Dew Valley, etc. Not to mention mario and zelda, but those were still mainstream.
Nintendo and Valve are known for taking their time (unless you count Pokemon which is made by a second party and modern day tf2 cosmetics) so we should be fine there. But Idk about Rockstar.
Having a second Valve renaissance where multiple releases in a short period push Source 2 into a similar spotlight that Source 1 was in post 2007 would be the dream. If Valve could get a good release or two out the door, and Garry could push S&Box with enough base kit Gmod features, it could be the flashpoint we need.
It’s not really that. There were statements from employees that they really wanted to make HL3, and there were multiple attempts at it, but they were too intimidated to do it. Not only that, they have made games like DOTA 2, CSGO and CS2, Alyx, Portal 2 …
theyve literally been making games all the time, the problem is that they havent been able to focus on one project much and so they havent released many of those games
Im a deadlock tester The game was kinda rough compared to 2 or 3 months ago But now it's getting better and better, still it's a moba and have a lot of learning curves but since last major update (1 week ago) You can see the best builds and their guides in the game, and i have never seen a build format this good compared to other mobas.

They don't even have to call it Half Life 3 and it still sounds like this will be a game worth looking forward to, a rarity now a days in the AAA game industry. But if they do call it that it'll be the biggest flex a gaming company ever did and we'd love them for it.
deadlock is gonna kick ass and I can tell you it's not really about the game itself, it's the development right now. i've made posts on the forums and had direct feedback and communications with *icefrog* himself...

@@puzzlepuddles6712 Ye TF2's situation has gotten better. For me there wont be a game thats more fun that tf2. I was just joking in my original comment cus the cs2 situation is worse rn than tf2 ever was.
I have to give them credit yeah, they remade the entirety of CS:GO basic things in source 2 which i mean like barely anyone has done so well like Valve did, that probably already took a long time and was stressful so just imagine having to make dangerzone, cache trains and others in such a short time
My best friend was a die hard Valve fan. Always talking about how great CS1.6 and HL games were. He was the reason I was introduced to Portal series which is now my most favorite game. He died from cancer 2 years ago. Last time I saw him we were talking about regrets and happy moments in our life and I asked him if he has any regret. I was gladly try my best to fix or do whatever he asked. He said only regret he had was not having a chance to play Portal 3 and Half Life 3. First I thought he was hiding something or lighting up the mood but he was dead serious. I was surprised how good those games must be to be a man’s last thought before death! I hope he was around to see and hear those news about his loved franchise. If those games come out I will definitely play it in memory of my dude!
@@Zombytes dude, source 2 crossfire would be lit hl1 deathmatch is my absolute favourite deathmatch of any game, tho admittedly carried hard by the tau cannon, id love to see what interresting ideas they would have for a new deathmatch
The half life franchise has always been about pushing the boundaries of gaming. Both HL1 and HL2 had groundbreaking graphics and physics for their time and HL:Alyx gave us a truly immersive AAA VR game that raised the bar for the entire medium. My question is, Where do we go from here? We already have photorealistic games so I cant really foresee a massive graphical leap from valve, and unless HL3 is also in VR there really isn't more you can do with physics in any particularly interesting way to the player. Personally, I'm a huge simp for VR and I'd love to see this next Half life be a VR title released alongside a new headset from valve. But thats SUPER wishful thinking. Valve makes games that break the mold and Half Life is the franchise that they use to shape the industry. Valve wouldn't make half life 3 if it's just a half life 2 sequel with better graphics. If this is real then valve is cooking something that none of us are ready for.
There is room to expand on the mechanics in HL2 and the AI from HL1. But I also think that Valve culture might be changing. That desire to be the one who breaks the mold has led to stagnation. HLA was somewhat groundbreaking, but really it's time to just be a good developer, not a groundbreaking developer. Deadlock seems really like a refinement of the hero shooter MOBA that never stuck the landing earlier this decade. HL3 I hope will focus on things like NPC AI being super dynamic like the first two HL titles and or games like FEAR.
@@GrainOnTheGo 100% Combine AI in Half Life 2 was gnarly (though it was neutered after playtests because they were too accurate) with squads using flank routes and destroying cover to make new paths to you. I saw some stuff on voxel based destruction that people originally thought was going to be used in Deadlock but that seems to have been scrapped, so there's a chance it could be used in this new Half Life game (think Striders blowing dynamic holes into buildings) There was also a technology Valve was developing for its first attempt at Half Life 3, where building interiors would be algorithm generated, leading to unique cover and enemy positions for each playthrough, and I'm fairly certain this was pretty much finished (though it was built for Source). Maybe this could see a return as well?
its been 20 years since HL2 yes we had the Ep1 & Ep2, for me now I just play Half life Alyx for my HL fix and always on the look out for new content, Value need to ad VR as well and pancake mode to any for any future games.
What if they made the Orange Box 2? Half Life 3, Team Fortress 3, and Portal 3. It’s just great news hearing they are finally returning back to their core and reviving their franchises. People have been begging for Half Life 3 for 17 years. They left us on a cliffhanger for 17 years.
portal 3 would be absolute chaos. merging chell with freeman just sounds so terribly wrong. i hope that they will bring a portal out that shows the beginning of everything before the combine took over the earth.
@@captaintudogzi kinda hope chell shows up in half life 3, maybe not as a secons protagonist or anything like that but could be an interesting side character as she got locked up before the black mesa incident
5:58 this makes me so sad because procedurally generating the combat levels would be such an innovative thing to do and would fit perfectly for valve and half-life
Although I’m excited to see some new traditional titles from Valve. I still hope they the ambition to make waves in the VR field. Playing VR for the first time was just as critical as a moment for me as picking up and playing Halo for the first time ever.
Yeah.. I mean, I'm sure VR is amazing but I just couldn't care less for it when it comes to games. I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to comprehend that I might just not want it as an person. If it overtakes traditional gaming, just no thanks..
@@ChocoRainbowCorn plus, it allienates large chunk o players I agree VR is cool, but it gets old fast, and the tech just kind of plateaued in a state where manufacturers cannot make the hardware cheaper, or slimmer. as much as I like HL, I'm not buying a $300 piece of gear just for the sake of it
I don't normally like talking about this, but I had a suicide attempt a while back. I'm a lot happier now, but the fact that I actually LIVED long enough to see HALF LIFE 3 is insane! I almost didn't get to see HALF LIFE 3!! Holy shit!!!
theres a difference, most of valves employees dont care about cs2! its funny seeing so many people complain about it when games like ricochet havent gotten updates by valve since the 90s
I'll be honest, as someone who is an acolyte of HL, and has played the absolute library of mods over the years, I haven't felt "abandoned" with the stability Steam has provided. I don't know if we really give credit to Valve for having an online client that has been present for decades during so many swings in the industry.
So from what I understand, it's not Half Life 3 they're working on, but a continuation or another prequel from a different characters perspective. Similar to what they did with the Half Life 1 expansions. It would make more sense for them to re-cap what has happened so far, that way the newer generations understand the storyline (Not really sure if many gen z or alpha have played this series).
One thing HALF LIFE 3 that will bring to the table is the Source 2 SDK that will probably be released along side it (as they did with the other games) the engine being opened up will allow the HALF LIFE community to do sooo much more than the Source 1 engine
I've been saying for years Valve is going to make a standalone VR headset like the Oculus Quest. It just makes sense. They've been experimenting with VR hardware and now mobile gaming hardware. It's so obvious to try to combine them and that quote at the end of the video just kind of proves it for me.
I’ll believe it when I see it. A lot of people waiting for hl3 have died of old age.

you cant make what was made in csgo's entirety of 10 years in 1 year, especially when nothing was ported over but built from the ground up
I have to give them credit yeah, they remade the entirety of CS:GO basic things in source 2 which i mean like barely anyone has done so well like Valve did, that probably already took a long time and was stressful so just imagine having to make dangerzone, cache trains and others in such a short time
That's what I'm saying
You cant compare a game that barley released last year to a game that has been going for a whole decade
@@SinisterBlitzo9When the new game completely replaces the old game, yes, you can absolutely compare it.
If you replace it, yes you can complain@@SinisterBlitzo9
My best friend was a die hard Valve fan. Always talking about how great CS1.6 and HL games were. He was the reason I was introduced to Portal series which is now my most favorite game. He died from cancer 2 years ago. Last time I saw him we were talking about regrets and happy moments in our life and I asked him if he has any regret. I was gladly try my best to fix or do whatever he asked. He said only regret he had was not having a chance to play Portal 3 and Half Life 3. First I thought he was hiding something or lighting up the mood but he was dead serious. I was surprised how good those games must be to be a man’s last thought before death! I hope he was around to see and hear those news about his loved franchise. If those games come out I will definitely play it in memory of my dude!
whatever this half-life related game is, I will 100% be obsessed with it for months as soon as it is announced
Why does he pronounce it as VELVE?
im so glad someone said it i thought i was going insane, hes saying veulve or something
the multiplayer part might be deathmatch
Co op not multiplayer
I freaking hope its Coop. That would be awesome. Half Life 2, and 1 Coop are freaking awesome. They should really just be added to the game ha
@@Zombytes dude, source 2 crossfire would be lit
hl1 deathmatch is my absolute favourite deathmatch of any game, tho admittedly carried hard by the tau cannon, id love to see what interresting ideas they would have for a new deathmatch
Alyx is still the best gaming experience I ever had since childhood
The half life franchise has always been about pushing the boundaries of gaming. Both HL1 and HL2 had groundbreaking graphics and physics for their time and HL:Alyx gave us a truly immersive AAA VR game that raised the bar for the entire medium. My question is, Where do we go from here? We already have photorealistic games so I cant really foresee a massive graphical leap from valve, and unless HL3 is also in VR there really isn't more you can do with physics in any particularly interesting way to the player. Personally, I'm a huge simp for VR and I'd love to see this next Half life be a VR title released alongside a new headset from valve. But thats SUPER wishful thinking. Valve makes games that break the mold and Half Life is the franchise that they use to shape the industry. Valve wouldn't make half life 3 if it's just a half life 2 sequel with better graphics. If this is real then valve is cooking something that none of us are ready for.
There is room to expand on the mechanics in HL2 and the AI from HL1. But I also think that Valve culture might be changing. That desire to be the one who breaks the mold has led to stagnation. HLA was somewhat groundbreaking, but really it's time to just be a good developer, not a groundbreaking developer. Deadlock seems really like a refinement of the hero shooter MOBA that never stuck the landing earlier this decade. HL3 I hope will focus on things like NPC AI being super dynamic like the first two HL titles and or games like FEAR.
yea
@@GrainOnTheGo 100% Combine AI in Half Life 2 was gnarly (though it was neutered after playtests because they were too accurate) with squads using flank routes and destroying cover to make new paths to you.
I saw some stuff on voxel based destruction that people originally thought was going to be used in Deadlock but that seems to have been scrapped, so there's a chance it could be used in this new Half Life game (think Striders blowing dynamic holes into buildings)
There was also a technology Valve was developing for its first attempt at Half Life 3, where building interiors would be algorithm generated, leading to unique cover and enemy positions for each playthrough, and I'm fairly certain this was pretty much finished (though it was built for Source). Maybe this could see a return as well?
I hope Half life 3 won't be a VR game
it shouldn’t be vr
Insane how valve suddenly locked in
Like a deadlock 😏
Valve is hiring new Devs, those Devs want half life 3, valve is forced to create half life 3
We are getting #SaveHalfLife before gta6
“Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.”
If Half-Life 3 comes out the world will implode
I do hope Adrian Shepheard comes back to the series. also that Adrian could be a potential co op with Gordon possibly.
its been 20 years since HL2 yes we had the Ep1 & Ep2, for me now I just play Half life Alyx for my HL fix and always on the look out for new content, Value need to ad VR as well and pancake mode to any for any future games.
What if they made the Orange Box 2? Half Life 3, Team Fortress 3, and Portal 3. It’s just great news hearing they are finally returning back to their core and reviving their franchises. People have been begging for Half Life 3 for 17 years. They left us on a cliffhanger for 17 years.
I don't think that there will be a portal 3, half life and portal take place in the same world, so the series will probably be merged
Why Team Fortress 3?
portal 3 would be absolute chaos. merging chell with freeman just sounds so terribly wrong. i hope that they will bring a portal out that shows the beginning of everything before the combine took over the earth.
@@captaintudogzi kinda hope chell shows up in half life 3, maybe not as a secons protagonist or anything like that but could be an interesting side character as she got locked up before the black mesa incident
i hope they at least follow the same storyline with the borealis at the end of hl2e2 and the easter egg in portal 2
5:58 this makes me so sad because procedurally generating the combat levels would be such an innovative thing to do and would fit perfectly for valve and half-life
but if the levels were different each time how would you be able to add a system for recording/playing back demos
@@cheesepop7175 it could just save and load whatever level was recorded
I guess you can use seeds to make it possible.@@cheesepop7175
0:44 The irony of the shot of Valve employees playing with VR with the portraits of the much-neglected TF2 mercs behind them is not lost on me.
If its actually HL3, It should probably follow up after the Events of Half Life: Alyx.
Although I’m excited to see some new traditional titles from Valve. I still hope they the ambition to make waves in the VR field.
Playing VR for the first time was just as critical as a moment for me as picking up and playing Halo for the first time ever.
I won't treat HL3 like anything but speculation until I see some actual content.
what song did you use in this video?

Who is "Vove"?
Half-Life 3: The eternal waiting simulator. I've seen glaciers move faster than Valve releasing games
I just played tf2 for the first time last night. Masterpiece.
That pixelated Deadlock logo and text was really good work, I didnt know what lies behind
if its another vr game im legit going to break stuff
Yeah.. I mean, I'm sure VR is amazing but I just couldn't care less for it when it comes to games. I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to comprehend that I might just not want it as an person. If it overtakes traditional gaming, just no thanks..
@@ChocoRainbowCorn plus, it allienates large chunk o players
I agree VR is cool, but it gets old fast, and the tech just kind of plateaued in a state where manufacturers cannot make the hardware cheaper, or slimmer.
as much as I like HL, I'm not buying a $300 piece of gear just for the sake of it
Can't find deadlock anywhere
It's in play testing right now, people aren't supposed to say or share much about it; I'm sure you can find leaks regardless.
The concept of half life 3 being "leaked" is as old as i am. I DON'T believe this at all
I don't normally like talking about this, but I had a suicide attempt a while back. I'm a lot happier now, but the fact that I actually LIVED long enough to see HALF LIFE 3 is insane! I almost didn't get to see HALF LIFE 3!! Holy shit!!!
Proud of ya for staying strong through tough times
valve is gonna dominate gaming again... recent cs2 update: added box
wahhhh
@@MatterLivesWhite ???
theres a difference, most of valves employees dont care about cs2! its funny seeing so many people complain about it when games like ricochet havent gotten updates by valve since the 90s

As someone whos held out hope for so many years, I'm not stopping now.
Say it with me: vAlve vAlve. Not velve
Valva. Volvo.
I'm from future, that's not half-life 3. That's a half-life: alyx 2
Damn those japanese steam controllers look soooo good! I wish the regular ones had dual thumbstick
People hear about valve working on a new project and 100 videos with "H3" in the thumbnail pop up in my feed.....
Is valve back?
Yes, we are back.
Bro thinks he's in the team ☠️☠️☠️
@@hoodcate He is and you can't do NOTHIN' 'bout it B)
It's been 3 years since the ending of HL:Alyx. WE NEED A CONTINUATION!
man finally feel like I been waiting a century
imagine they pull something like half life 2: episode 2: episode 1
Honestly a valve employee can release a photo of a high res supply crate and I would be hyped
I'll be honest, as someone who is an acolyte of HL, and has played the absolute library of mods over the years, I haven't felt "abandoned" with the stability Steam has provided. I don't know if we really give credit to Valve for having an online client that has been present for decades during so many swings in the industry.
LET'S NOT GET OUR HOPES UP ! I WILL BELIEVE HALF LIFE 3 IS REAL WHEN I INSTALLED IT AND FINISHED IT !
I feel bad for people that died before witnessing Half Life 3 😢
there is no proof that we who are still alive, will either see it, it could be just a myth.
8:40 imagine FNAF HW with a Steam Deck to check cameras
What's the background track
So from what I understand, it's not Half Life 3 they're working on, but a continuation or another prequel from a different characters perspective. Similar to what they did with the Half Life 1 expansions. It would make more sense for them to re-cap what has happened so far, that way the newer generations understand the storyline (Not really sure if many gen z or alpha have played this series).
One thing HALF LIFE 3 that will bring to the table is the Source 2 SDK that will probably be released along side it (as they did with the other games) the engine being opened up will allow the HALF LIFE community to do sooo much more than the Source 1 engine
The Orange Box 2?
Brown box 1 💩💩💩💩
The green box
I've been saying for years Valve is going to make a standalone VR headset like the Oculus Quest. It just makes sense. They've been experimenting with VR hardware and now mobile gaming hardware. It's so obvious to try to combine them and that quote at the end of the video just kind of proves it for me.
What is that accent when you pronounce Valve like "Velve"
Why is he saying like that? "Vulv" and "Vove"
frr
Pffft…. WE HAVE LOTS OF PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT! When have i heard that from valve before???? 🤔
Not me hearing about this an entire week late...
You sound like Walter Jr.
Lol
Vulv Vove Velv Vouv
If there is an HL3, the final boss level better be Gordon teaming up with GLaDOS to take down the G-Man.
What is velve?
4:37 valve is not sending out any invites, you can just invite people on your friends list when you get invites
please tell me it's hl3
No f**king way... I never thought I would see the day Half life 3 becoming a thing...
NO WAY, THEY LEARNED TO COUNT TO 3
