Gabe talking about Index...read on from article quote below:

Quote

Newell said that the launch of the Index represents a beginning, not an end, and someday down the road everyone involved in the process will "look back and realize the consequences of what you've built with your creativity and your hard work." He also talked about Valve's plans for the future of the headset, which range from practical short-term goals like lowered cost and improved international distribution (the Index still isn't available in Canada, for instance) to more "speculative" aspirations such as ideas for an untethered Index (the current setup has lots of wires), "revolutionary things" for the display and optical technology, and improved tracking.

And in the midst of all that, the obligatory wisecrack: "Half-Life led to Half-Life 2, Source led to Source 2, the experiments with did with Team Fortress 2 are what enabled us to build Dota. Artifact is the reason we're able to do Underlords," he said. "Maybe someday, the number two will lead us to that shiny integer glowing on the mountain someplace."

Not exactly confirmed, I guess, but credit to Newell for at least acknowledging the humor of the Half-Life 3 situation, rather than pretending that none of it ever happened.

There was a talk on VR at Digipen, and the technology discussed is believed to be the infamous HLVR title that has been dug in content releases

This is brilliant. You look at it and you just think these are illustrations for a brochure or something, then you scroll, you scroll and...

CERN always amazed me but I never looked into the scale of the actual facilities surrounding the loop. You can have a whole game take place in a loop lol.

Ubisoft could then make a super huge and tediously grindy open world game based in the planned "FCC" (Future Circular Collider) and its surroundings.

@FMPone God damn it, that was one of the most annoying thing I've ever seen. I tried for like 45 minutes straight... To beat that one part. And then realised... I had to go back...

Given the release of the Half-LIfe: Alyx trailer, this thread will be ceremoniously closed in 24 hours. It's now "Party Time"

Hi mom!

 

But there's no closure until we have HL3... there are lots of loose ends that surely won't get addressed on a game set between HL 1 and 2 (Alyx)

So don’t close until we get a sequel, not a prequel?!? xD
