it's probably going to pull out a time travel schtick or something and you influence the previous games or something fucking stupid like that

I wonder how they would do it without Alyx herself being aware

The more I think about the time travel idea the more it makes sense. Especially the hopeless situation we saw in epistle 3, which while not canon would make a time travel plot make sense

more importantly why the hell did they change alyx's VA

Multiverse shit nigga.

Do y’all not remember the ending to episode 3 finally being explained?

well if it's the time travel thing, I guess maybe young and older alyx? maybe.

It's because in Episode 2 you see "the gang getting back together" of Magnusson, Eli, and Judith. And this game probably takes place back when they were first still together as the black mesa resistance group.

i actually had one idea, they want it to sound different from the alyx we know just for it to feel like a different alyx, valve stated they would still love to work with the original VA on future games

Have people found the source yet?

they never expected the trailer to make THAT many people buy the index, its taking just as long to ship em out as the others

dunno man, shipping says about a week for me

its fake, tyler mcvicker debunked it

If you want it day 1 maybe you should have spring fir it quicker
It's impressive how much hype VR is getting due to one game

cornholio virus is tanking all VR manufacturing

He’s a known valve shill who will say whatever the company wants him to

I don't believe that.

It’s artificial scarcity so retards like you rush to buy thinking
A) this is way more popular than you think it is, the herd mentality making you feel safer in your buying decision
B) Make you think you need to rush to buy to avoid them going out of stock

they totally expected it, just not THAT much like i said

It's just a simple reference. Not much. We all know that Eli makes it out alive so it's probably just a point in the game where Eli is in danger and says the same thing.

Or the twist could be that Alyx takes place in an alternate timeline where Gordon never came and Eli dies anyway, and Alyx finds out a way to portal back in time/to another universe where Gordon reappeared to save her dad. Or something like that.

from what I gather, a lot of people within Valve were skeptical of VR altogether

manufacturing is in hell right now for everyone, that and i dont think they expected this many people to jump on the most expensive, enthusiast grade VR kit you can buy right now,. even when they announced it they were saying this is for the enthusiast market and not intended to be the mainstream device that everyone buys

They're half retarded. They didn't stock properly for the game's announcement and now China's leaked bio-weapon fucked up the production and shipping times.

even if tyler is lying about the gordon pic, we will see if its real or not soon, i think gordon looks cool and would accept it as real if there was any evidence

I don't think anyone has actually found a source, but I hope it isn't real. His head looks great, but the HEV design looks like something out of shitty Bungie employee portfolio.

can anyone explain why Gordon's artstyle is different to Eli/G-Man's shown from the trailer. That's why it comes out as fan-made/false, since it doesn't fit into the game

Its a marketing stunt.

It's because they're basically telling everyone that Alyx won't be the protagonist (HL protagonists never speak when you play as them. This carries over to portal, which is in the same universe).

Why would there be one? Reverse image search brought up nothing.

its most likely not real, if u want to believe tyler or not idc but for being a valve shill he sure disagrees with valve a lot

she speaks in the gameplay videos, it's clearly the player/her.

alyx is the protagonist 100%

Its for Valve's next game, HLA is already completely finished. They're using what they learned from HLA to improve Source 2 and can now feature even more realistic and detailed graphics thanks to optimizations.
An artist leaked this image to generate hype for the project, that will make it harder for Gaben to cancel it.

Valve isn't sure what's popular with the kiddos anymore since they're really out of touch boomers
Hopefully they heard your feedback so they can adjust things now

Valve is most defiantly working on more games, however they will most likely be VR,
honestly im just hyped for them to release the source 2 SDK

You laugh now, but you'll see. You'll see!

I don’t give a fuck. When is the Artifact relaunch?

He doesn't want her to see something gorey. possibly the loss of his leg.

That's an actual baby user.

According to Tyler and his source, Merle recorded nearly 80% of HLA's dialogue before they went with Ozioma.

You walk in on Eli fucking Mossman.
