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

It'd be cool if the world could just build a wall around you guys until you get your affairs in order.

Dux I'm not sure we're in a good position to judge sadly!

Real sign of the times when the half life 3 thread turns into current day issues

VR wasn’t realistic enough of a medium for delivering an intense first person dystopia, so Valve made it such that everyday waking reality is actually HL3.

Valve weren't actually planning to release HLA for another 6 years, but then the L4D AR beta got leaked and they had to distract the press with half life news

One of his best videos to date. I was worried there for a moment he was gonna play with the terrible HD models

You and me both, I was just about to board the express to Nova Prospekt.

"We definitely have games in development that we're going to be announcing. It's fun to ship games," he said. "Alyx was great. To be back doing singleplayer games, that created a lot of momentum inside the company to do more of that."

no mention of Valley of Gods, hopefully they are getting back to it (and not making it VR exclusive).

I can play with both the old models and new ones, it doesn't bother me either way. Problem with the HD pack is that it doesn't fit so well in the base game compared with the expansions, it also wasn't finished, so the quality is mixed, but some of the new models are decent like the Vortigaunt and the Human Grunt (which replaces a model that has barely changed since the 1997 Alpha) and yeah I like the Barney model as well, come at me bros.

Only good hd model was the shotgun, rest were nah. Just didn't like the look., I thought they took away from the character of the game, not enhance.
