If my chick stops me from enjoying the new Half Life 3 that I've been waiting for a crumb of confirmation for since I played Half Life 2 and before, then she's for the streets.
It just confuses me that they’d have such unrelated code names for previous projects (hotdog for left 4 dead) and then suddenly use such an obvious one for half life Feels at the very least like a misdirect
Valve are the most unorganized companies on the face of the earth, none of these files have anything to do with half life, I would be willing to put money on it. Valve know full well that their "fans" will try to steal at any opportunity they can get so it's probably a useless file named after things from HL.
The reason why it seems obvious to you is because you got context handed over to you. You know that feeling when you are trying to figure something out but there is one piece of the puzzle that you are missing and then someone or something just gives that last piece of critical information to you and you go "OF COURSE, it all makes sense now, it's so obvious, how did I not see it sooner"? Basically the same thing happened right now. Like playing Portal 2, sometimes you get stuck on a puzzle, you get frustrated, you go watch a walkthrough and it shows to you the thing you missed that you need to do that was "oh my god it was right there in front of me the whole time". Or an even simpler (albeit a little more far-reaching) example, you can't find your phone or keys anywhere in your home until someone points out that it's right there in your hand. Of course, if it so happened that you actually figured everything out by yourself after you saw the project name for the first time then kudos to you.
@@Casto3924 It’s not that this is exceptionally obvious, its just the name “white sands” (being a town in new mexico thats pretty historically famous) has far more connection to Half Life through the location of Black Mesa than say, hotdogs do to left 4 dead or Jamiroquai does to half life Alyx Anyone with an internet connection could google “white sands” and find the town in New Mexico, and then if you’re a half life fan the rest isnt difficult to figure out
HLX White Sands=Black Mesa White Sands=Trinity Test Trinity=3 Trinity Test=Atomic bombs Atomic bombs=Radioactive Half Life=the time for radioactive decay of unstable isotopes to occur (like the ones used exclusively in those atomic bombs)
WHITE SANDS MISSLE BASE IN NEW MEXICO IS THE MISSLE BASE THEY BASED HALF LIFE ON, I WENT TO NM 10 YESRS AGO AND WANTED TO SEE THE BASE SO BAD. I SWEAR I LEARNED THAT IN A VALVE DOC OR SOMEPLACE OFFICIAL.
Remember: Valve is still making some sort of new hardware. Maybe it's a VR headset, maybe it's a console, or maybe it's something completely new. Since Half-Life Alyx was released alongside the Index, and Aperture Desk Job was released with the Steam Deck, it would be safe to assume that Project White Sand or HLX will be released for their new hardware - whatever that may be.
That makes sense but Valve is not making any new hardware, atleast that I'm aware of. New hires point to game's development. Valve's attempt with Half Life Alyx was mostly to revitalize the title and fix some of the story in the universe, as pointed out by a developer.
White Sands is also probably a reference to Black Mesa for a couple reasons. First, the obvious part is that it follows the same naming convention of [Color Geography Feature] with Mesa being a flat topped hill. But also, Black Mesa is canonically in a New Mexican desert.
I actually forgot to drop that into the comments that when you mentioned "project white sands" my first thought was "Wait, like the missile base in New Mexico?" And TBF, IIRC the original working title for Half Life was Broken Arrow.
@@keeby4 hlx was originally speculated to be a remake of some sort and there's info of a cancelled pitch by saber interactive to remake half life 2. Now why would valve turn down a studio proposing to remake their game? Unless they were already working on one themselves
Whatever half life game they make I hope they add a VR mode kind of like the Half life 2 VR mod did. Even if its not perfect I love playing Half life 2 in VR so whatever project they make next it would be awesome to have a bonus VR mode
Also if im not wrong... Half Life Alyx was codenamed Jamaroquia (idk spelling), that is, the Artist name of "Virtual Insanity" Jamoroquia → Virtual Insanity → Virtual Reality → Half Life Alyx + Valve Index
i think in half life 3 we will go to the borealis in the north pole or south pole wherever it is or we will go back to black mesa to see the remnant of it this is just my theory there will be many thing possible to happen
My dad told me not to be excited about it because they have a thing for canceling games but since alyx happened I do hope it's another game that I hope be like the previous two before alyx hl1 hl2 and it's on console both PS5 and Xbox not VR
Sendo sincero, o que eu acho que seria um final perfeito para Half Life: Gordon (E Alyx) finalmente se livram do G-man, eles de alguma forma derrotam o G-man e finalmente atingem a liberdade, pois não são mais empregados dele. Desde o final do primeiro jogo nós viramos funcionários do G-man, e somos empregados dele por todo o segundo jogo. o sobrenome do Gordom é Freeman (homem livre), mas ele nunca foi de fato um homem livre, ele teve suas capacidades de "se libertar" ao longo das missões mas sempre no final fazia a serviço do G-man. No Último Half-Life, Gordon finalmente se livra do G-man e vira, de fato, um homem livre, um homem dono de suas próprias ações, sem a restrita busca por escapar de um desastre, nem de participar de uma revolução, nem de fazer tudo isso a mando de um cara de terno e gravata. Imagino até a cena final, não controlamos mais Gordon, pois ele não só é um homem livre do Gman, mas um homem livre de nós, jogadores, nós o controlamos por todos os jogos, mas agora ele não precisa mais de nós, agora ele pode viver sua própria vida, em liberdade. Não sei se alguém já pensou nisso, mas eu acho que seria um final apoteótico, histórico, metalinguístico e a altura do que essa franquia merece
Tyler, you did it! The biggest German gaming news outlet "Gamestar" reported on this and called you "The Valve Expert - Tyler McVicker" 🎉🥳😁🤩 Will keep posting this till u see it 🫡
and the Citadel project that everyone thought was gonna be a Half-Life-themed strategy game ended up being Deadlock. I think they're misleading us on purpose.
Honestly I don’t really care if it is half life at this point, I’m just pumped about a potential new singleplayer game from valve. HLA proved they’ve still got the sauce, and I’m itching for more stuff as good as that
"valve doesn't have the team to work on it" They have all the money in the gaming industry they are steam And valve They can just hire more people if thats even a problem
soooo the new information is that white sands might not be random??? uhhh great info thanks? and that geoff keighley said in final hours that VALVe is hoping to do more with half life?? which was said 4 years ago
Gonna call it here, the final title of the game won't be Half-Life 3. Typical Valve fashion of naming things in an unexpected way. No one expected Half-Life Alyx. So many people expected CS2 to be still called CSGO but in Source 2.

i'll be playing the game and i wont believe it
I'll beat the game, see the credits, and still wouldn't believe it
Ill beat the game and it will be a 10/10 then G-man will come out of the screen and violate my memories to forget it ever happened.
@@GG-ou7it By that logic, what says you haven't played HL3 before...
I'll beat the game, beat it three more times, port it's content to G-mod, and I still won't believe it.
I confirmed with my valve contact it’s actually Ricochet 2, sorry HL3 copers.
LIAR! BANISH HIM TO THE SHADOW REALM!

"White Sands is a national park in New Mexico and the place where the TRINITY tests took place"
Holy canoli it's happening
Half life 3 confirmed!!!!1!!1!!1!1!!!1!1!!
They had to have done that on purpose just to make us regurgitate decade old "Half Life 3 Confirmed" memes
"The chances are near zero..."
And also new mexico is where black mesa was located in HL1
"near"
white sands is also a similar name to black mesa. the relation between white and black is obvious, and mesas are often quite sandy.
White Sands is also the name of both a national park and a missile testing range in New Mexico, where Half Life 1 was set
Also Trinity tests? 3? God that feels like such a tin foil take.
White sands is also snow, snow? Borealis. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Finally… half-life: episode 2.5!
To be more precise, White Sands is still an active military testing ground.

I predicted in the Letting Off Steam stream HL:X COULD be Half-Life 3!!!
It was an uneducated guess at that point and at this point is still unconfirmed. Hold your fingers though.
what if they just call it "half life 2^(2) so it's actually squared twice that will break the curse surely
_"We're not afraid of Half-Life no more."_
You didn't take into account the double negative, so they are still afraid of Half-Life.
If it's a remake of Half Life 1 am gonna be very upset
I don’t think valve does remakes since they always look towards the future when making games, and Black Mesa already did that anyways.
@@keeby4 hlx was originally speculated to be a remake of some sort and there's info of a cancelled pitch by saber interactive to remake half life 2. Now why would valve turn down a studio proposing to remake their game? Unless they were already working on one themselves

Some valve developer in the past: “hey what should we name our new NFT game?”
Valve developer 2: “idk just ask ChatGPT for something random”
ChatGPT:
"Lord have mercy, I'm bout to BUST!"
im so glad for the devs that they have found the confidence to give it one last big go.
Been playing a lot of Valve's Project 8. They are hard at work developing new games. Very exciting.
Yay Tyler used my theory!!
Also code name Jamiroquai: “forget your virtual reality”
White Sands /DOES/ sound like Black Mesa, too.
in an interview few years ago Gaben was asked "theres is a name citadel is thrown around ,is that a thing" please look at Gabes reaction
Also if im not wrong... Half Life Alyx was codenamed Jamaroquia (idk spelling), that is, the Artist name of "Virtual Insanity"
Jamoroquia → Virtual Insanity → Virtual Reality → Half Life Alyx + Valve Index
I wouldn’t be worried about team size. Some of the most amazing games have been built and continue to be supported by a handful or less.
white sands is pretty cool. just friggin hot in the summer time LOL!
We are so back
Black Mesa is based in New Mexico, which I find fitting.
We’re so back
for a second I thought Tyler said white sans for some reason
"opus skate" in the subtitles
My sources confirmed it is CS3
I FUCKING LOVE JAMIROQUAI and that its associated to one of my favorite game franchises :3
We got a playable build of Duke Nukem Forever, then i'm very sure we will get a Half-Life Sequel. The question is: When.
Huh? I wasn't notified!
I thought white sands stood for snow as in borealis being in the arctic?
Honestly I’m hoping for a Half Life 3 that supports the option to play in VR but also focus heavily on PC gamers’ mouse and keyboard experience.
but and abou the hlx archives and the archives related to xen?
i think in half life 3 we will go to the borealis in the north pole or south pole wherever it is or we will go back to black mesa to see the remnant of it this is just my theory there will be many thing possible to happen
