The Half-Life 3 thread of closure and memorium AKA what Tyler McVicker just said on YouTube

+ 50,000 hours and a frequent visit to a psychiatrist

Sounds a bit too optimistic

Yes, the classic writer bottleneck. The rest is ez. I mean FF15 took a decade to make and the story was still missing.

The best part was the original Ray-man music at the end.

Oh my god, so good.

Well, I was actually thinking of upping the post since many people seemed interested a few weeks ago. Been too busy so was postponing… was wondering if people should start spitballing and see if there are some good ideas.

also give Reddit a run for their money

The catalyst in the stories in Half-life has always been centred around teleportation technology, so I'd be interested to see how that story element could be converted into a gameplay mechanic.

edit:

There's kinda portal as a reference for it, but using it in a combat setting would make it very different.

Another edit:

borealis would fit well with that mechanic as well given how that's a teleporting ship.

Guys... guys... stop bumping this thread... I beg you..

Unfortunately I didn't bring Rising the bar when I relocated, but in my mind the Borealis wasn't a teleportation device, rather was transporting it (think of the movie The Philadelphia Experiment) or was teleported from Aperture (haven't played Portal 2 so dunno if there they altered what I think was the original narrative). In any case is a "passive" item, so to speak.

You know a statement is pure truth when it starts with "You only need..."

Cmon guys making games is easy what are you on about. Apart from the millions of pounds/dollars, man hours, staff, resources, years of your life, tears and sweat. Fucking game devs man. What do we know.

Valve hasn't been relevant since 2003 beyond continuing to operate Steam (which is basically a different company by this point). Discuss.

Portal 1/2, Left 4 Dead 2, CSGO, Dota 2. Excellent games.

Don't forget Team Fortress 2 and its transition to f2p hat simulator.

csgo and dota 2 being two of the most popular competitive games in the world, and I guess the vr bit is just a small side project too

Aaaaand ... discussion over.

You could argue that Valve developed none of those games bar TF2.
