So it took valve ten years and a new platform to make a new half-life. so by my calculations when we’re all downloading ourselves into computers and a thousand years for hl3?
Statistically speaking I'd expect two more games on this platform. Valve (ironically) seems to work in threes with Half Life. On the first platform (GoldSrc, environmental storytelling) we got: Half-Life Blue Shift Opposing Force And Decay if you want to count that. On the second platform (Source, physics engine) we got: HL2 HL2:E1 HL2:E2 On the new platform (Source 2, VR and modern graphics) we've had one game so far. So assuming there's a pattern, that means we can expect at least one more, likely two. Edit: Source Engine also had Lost Coast. So it's been one base game and three expansions per platform, more or less.
The only thing that disappointed me was the drop in quality of the writing. A lot of the dialogue felt like it was written by a Marvel writer instead of someone who's worked on Half Life and knows how to make the characters come off as intelligent. Something that thankfully changes when someone comes in at the end and the writing kicks it into high gear once more.
"We're litterally never moving the timeline are we?" Wait.... What if the gimmick of the next half-life game ends up being time travel. Is all this foreshadow? Mind- blown!
big brain theory time bois: that nudge g-man talked about was him releasing Gordon to help NUDGE the combine off earth. also they weren't talking how Gordon raised HELL in black mesa but how g-man raised hell in black mesa (the nuke,etc)
Valve can be actually fucking incredible at making games when they get out of their money piles and sit down and do something. And now I have to wait another 15 years for Half Life 3 in probably Neural Uplink or something and I won't be able to afford that, either.
I hadn't seen the after credit part. I thought they had retconned the whole of HL2. So now what? HL2 Episode 3 to rescue Judith on the Borealis or HL3 to find Alyx?
"What if it's not Gordon who's locked in, but it's the G-Man? What if he's the one locked in?" That's some foreshadowing you predicted at the end of this video... XD
Well, there was debate if Opposing Force/BlueShift etc. was canon or not among fans. Then somebody (can't remember who atm but it was a developer) said, "There is no canon." So, I don't know. I'd assume G-Man has an entire collection of people in stasis for jobs. Maybe we will see Adrian Shep in HL3, I hope.
Can we count the ending as a HL3 confirmed? I know it's a century old meme at this point but Gordon Freeman picking up crowbar can mean only one thing: It's time to kick ass and join the science team once more.
Well, as Gabe and others said in the interviews, it all depends on how well Alyx does in sales and stuff. Provided Alyx has been received excellently so far and that people bought more Index headsets than Valve has anticipated, HL3 is quite a strong possibility at this point
The Vort you meet cooking is slightly unhinged, but only because he was one of the original 'slaves', hence the metal attachments still on his head. He clearly has been screwed up mentally. The others? More likely just like the ones in HL2.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in water hazard I'm pretty sure there's a secret vortigaunt in a cave that is basically just that one crazy hobo stereotype
I'd say that's a hell of a way to re enter the gaming scene. Seems they still haven't lost it after all those years. Now let's see if they go through with it.
@@thesmilinggun-knight9646 Considering they said they wanted to start making games now that VR is in a good state, I really think they will. However, I do hope they also start explorong new game ideas. I love portal and l4d, but I don't think I ever want another game in those franchises.
I want to know how this lines up with known timeline. Did Alyx disappeare after attack of the Advisors? And after going out of prison, did she just forgot events with G-man and rest of the timeline went as it should be?
It's not a paradox though as much as G-man simply flexing on us. He has both perfect prediction ability and time travel. And then the relativity theory comes into play - how can you tell apart a vision of perfect prediction that you chose not to follow and reality that you chose to go back from and change it? For all intents and purposes they are the same.
Yea this is a paradox because if your dad does not die and your hired you are not at the place That he dies at so it would hold no power over you because it would give warning to your past self not to do it and to not use your power
@@XxPugMasterxX22 not a paradox, because it simply doesn't happen anymore. literally nullified. how can something be paradoxical, if it never even happened? it becomes a split, and with that split, no change in the first timeline can cause anythng from the new timeline to shift, due to them no longer being interconnected by any form of fix-point that would have them reconnect if only for a short time.

ok but real talk i'd be down for a half life lazslo. just make it a weird wacky side adventure that ends in tragedy. do all kinds of crazy stuff in the half-life universe, explore all kinds of story that you wouldn't do with the main characters.
So, basically, in exchange for saving her father in the timeline where Gordon accepts the GMAN's offer, Alyx is supplemented as Gordon's replacement, presumably so that she can effectively do what Gordon did. IIRC, Alyx was supposed to die in the mineshaft after she was impaled by the Hunter, but the Vortigaunts prevented that from happening, and so Eli was subsequently killed before he could properly expose the GMAN's plot regarding the Borealis.
the timeline is sort of the same. gman wants alyx because in the beginning of hl2 e1 gman is not happy that the vortigaunt push him away and Gordon will not help anymore, so now he was looking for someone else to replace him. gman wanted eli to die so that he could use it in the past as a way to persuade alyx to unknowing start working for him. the future is the same just eli is now alive and at that exact moment the gman took alyx into stasis. my guess is after this encounter in this game with the gman her memory of this encounter is wiped and place back to live on the next 5 years until gordon stops cooperating so then she will take his place.
@@TesserLink but is it implied that Gordon refuses to work for gman? I mean the vorts themselves repel the g man away without asking for Gordon's consent. I don't understand how the events of hl2 took place with alyx if she's put on stasis post half life alyx. If she had gravity gloves and did all those adventurous things, then why doesn't she or eli ever mention about that. Also I feel they could've gone into the flashbacks and shown how both eli and alyx were saved by g man. Black mesa incident in VR would've been dope. Also what happens to Russell? Does he die?
The story of HL: Alyx is sort of in between 1 and 2 but the conclusion of Alyx rewrites the story of HL2. In HL2, Gordon was released from stasis to end the Combine's control on Earth. And one of the consequences of that is at HL2:EP2 where Alyx should have died at the mineshaft from a hunter. But the vorts revived Alyx, so the consequences is Eli will be killed. And Gordon refuses to help GMan, which is not good for GMan. So Gman went back in time to lure Alyx in a previous date. (GMan contained) That's HL:Alyx storyline, Alyx said she wants the Combine be gone on Earth and Eli to live, so the consequences is being hired by Gman and Gordon is no longer hired, and placed into stasis or something. Therefore, HL:Alyx rewrites the story. Where the end of HL2:EP2, Eli dies and Gordon refuses to help GMan and makes Gordon let off the hook and placed into stasis or something, Gman travelled back in time to lure Alyx (HL:Alyx story) and hires Alyx to be Gordon's replacement in the HL2 storyline. It's like HL2 never happened, and Gordon never left stasis. Remember, Mark Laidlaw's post on his blog of the what should have been HL2:EP3 story. That screwed Valve on continuing the story of Gordon. So they did Alyx to rewrite the story of Half-Life. Whatever story happened in HL2 and all of its episodic content is virtually non-existent after HL:Alyx. Because of GMan does not want Gordon anymore, as the Vorts is pushing Gordon away from GMan, now it's most likely the story of Alyx.
@@ninjasiren you got it totally wrong. You can see Gordon in the post credit scene from the end of ep 2 and eli knows gman took alyx which means ep2 is canon. What I don't understand is how come both eli and alyx don't mention anything about it. Also what happens to Russell? . I feel the story has not been explained properly.
Imagine a game like Metro or Stalker in this type of format, utterly terrifying... I literally just heard him say I'm little stalker as I was writing this. XD
so theres this funny interaction between you and the dude if you dont use the healing station immediently that is pretty funny, ill just put it in text form here for your convenience "oh good, a combine healing station" "ok and? dont the combine use these?" "so?" "are these safe for humans?" "of course, well i think. i use them all the time, does wonders." "okay..." [alyx vance mild ow sounds for the whole time] "hey, youre right. thats amazing."
@@thezambambo2184 technically by cannon those are antlion larvae and their inside stuff has healing properties, hence why in episode two when you crush them the yellow stuff gives you 1-3 health points
With time traveling and manipulation, they can essentially retcon the game as much as they like. Shepard the soldier is still in the void for who knows how long... Maybe alex vance teams up with him in a future title.
"Has been unwilling or unable" BINCH WE BEEN WAITING FOR THIRTEEN YEARS to "perform the tasks laid before" us! Don't you vague me, G-Man! Also Michael Shapiro *killing it* as G-Man as usual, well done sir!
And I bet this Ep2 cliffhanger was it that prevented Valve from making the next episode all those years. I've seen that often enough with fanfiction. The more "insane" (aka really good or suspensefull) a cliffhanger is, the less like is it for the writer to continue. Finding a way out of near impossible situations or too drastic plot-changers appears to be near impossible. Or Valve might've found a way to continue the Half-Life story BEFORE they made HL:Alyx. But I'm glad they offered the chance to undo Eli's death.
@@Autumn22527i Relatively cheap. Still pretty expensive, but no longer "Only people with shit ton of money to spend". It's more of a choice between getting two consoles/a gaming PC vs VR setup.

"We might call em crabs, but they sure as hell don't taste like crab"
Imagine a game like Metro or Stalker in this type of format, utterly terrifying... I literally just heard him say I'm little stalker as I was writing this. XD
Now I can just imagine grabbing a Snork by the mask filter and swinging him like a mace.
@@epion660 YEET!
Imagine bloodsuckers....
@@Queerienlannister True terror, would never sleep again.
You know such a game is coming SOMETIME next decade, it's the logical progression.
so theres this funny interaction between you and the dude if you dont use the healing station immediently that is pretty funny, ill just put it in text form here for your convenience
"oh good, a combine healing station"
"ok and? dont the combine use these?"

"are these safe for humans?"
"of course, well i think. i use them all the time, does wonders."

I think the 4 in that title is in reference to the 4 characters, not the number of games

RETRACT STATMENT THAT ENDING
With time traveling and manipulation, they can essentially retcon the game as much as they like.
Shepard the soldier is still in the void for who knows how long... Maybe alex vance teams up with him in a future title.

“We’re literally never moving the timeline are we?”
*literally completely changes the cliffhanger at the end of Episode 2*
And I bet this Ep2 cliffhanger was it that prevented Valve from making the next episode all those years. I've seen that often enough with fanfiction. The more "insane" (aka really good or suspensefull) a cliffhanger is, the less like is it for the writer to continue. Finding a way out of near impossible situations or too drastic plot-changers appears to be near impossible. Or Valve might've found a way to continue the Half-Life story BEFORE they made HL:Alyx. But I'm glad they offered the chance to undo Eli's death.
Half-Life: Alyx

Half-Life: Valve flexes on all the poors who can't afford VR.
They're actually pretty cheap.
@@Autumn22527i Relatively cheap. Still pretty expensive, but no longer "Only people with shit ton of money to spend". It's more of a choice between getting two consoles/a gaming PC vs VR setup.
@@Autumn22527i not for Russia, where Index costs like two super PCs with latest technoligy in them.

"We've struggled to find a... Suitable replacement.." -Adrian Shepard still vibing in a V-22 Osprey: Am I joke to you?
Yeah but shepherd is as unpredictable as Gordon especially as he worked to stop the G-man from nuking black Mesa in opposing force so if shepherd got out who knows what he’d do
@@blacktemplarbarachel3387 Replacing Gordon with Adrian would be like replacing a hobo with a sword wielding gorilla. Like sure it might not be as smart but it's just as big of an issue
@@BBP-OMO that’s my point
Gorden is the scalpel to cut at unwanted flesh, while Adrian is the hammer ready to break a bone or two.
