The following comes from the infamous Valve autist
>Valve is working on alot of shit, more busy than ever right now. Recycling old projects, making brand new ones. As always not everything will make it to the release
>Half-Life 3 never went off the ground in the way Half-Life Alyx did, but had alot of assets made. Still it was in development indeed, and alot of these assets and ideas were recycled for Alyx.
>The pancake weapons and dev mode for Alyx? Thats Half-Life 3 assets. The names for weapons are different from HL2, theres heavy machinegun etc.
>New combinesoldiers were made for HL3. From datamined chatter sound files, they mention Freeman (anticitizen) as the target.
>Russel was originally native to the City 17 (which is based on the real Bulgarian city, the map on the loading screen is literally one of big Bulgarian cities) guy named Josif. In the files he is referenced as Laslow, who was a HL3 character. (might be a placeholder reference to The Greatest Mind of His Generation).
>Olga, who knocks on the window in the beginning of Alyx, is a frankenstien monster made of multiple scrapped character deisgns and ideas. She uses face of the shadow lady that talks to Advisor. She has a pin HAHN, which was supposed to be a combine collaborator faction. There used to be a double agent from this faction in HL3 that was cut. There was also a girl of japanese origin in HL3.
>People datamine new shit every day. Recently there were found never seen before Barney animations. Theres no mode though. And barney was never a part of any itteration of HL Alyx. The Alyx clients, especially the earlyversions refered as zero, are a goldmine for dataminers.
>The version of the game before they rehired Wolpaw sucked ass. Acoording to sources, before the rewrite, that version sucked ass. The story was awful, it was teleport only.
>Wolpaw essentially kickstarted the turnaround and the Alyx we know came to be. The ending of Alyx is apparently Wolpaws idea.

Valve haven't done anything good in over a decade, who cares? Alyx isn't even an AAA game, it's like a high-budget indie project
>With Orange box release, Valve burned out on Half-Life and they had a scope-creep. They had too many ideas piling up, like sign language, portals, AIT director from L4D, the gel that eventually ended up in Portal 2. Eventually people grew tired and wanted to do something other than Half-Life.
>Portal became even bigger than Half-Life, so that some other thing became Portal 2.
>After the chain of failures, Valve was worried they won't find that Valve magic anymore. With Alyx, they got it back and Gabe will try to keep that team together.
>The HL3 development "clicked into place" around 2013. This is when these assets datamined from Alyx started to appear.
>They worked on long cutscenes. SFM on Source 2. Can use VR to film stuff. 7 hour war peace treaty cutscene and 7 hour war cutscene that were forf HL3. The peace treaty would've been broadcasted on Combine propaganda network. L4D2 and Portal 2 placeholder assets.
>in 2015 HL3 was shelved.
>Was used as a base to make Half-Life Alyx.
>After the reception of the debut trailer for Alyx, many people in the team showed interest in making Half-Life 3. Probably won't be in VR.
>After the successful launch of Alyx, people at Valve have shit ton of ideas for VR games.
>"Valve is kinda in the situation where they need to upkeep VR industry themselves or it will die"
>"You're gonna see more VR games from Valve in the next couple of years, guarantee"
>They could separate VR and non-VR Half-Life games into two concurent serieses. The VR protagonist is Alyx and non-VR is Gordon.
>"It is rumored that in the Half-Life Barney, he will actually be a sidekick and you play as Alyx. Thats why his animations were datamined.
>Half-Life Alyx is seen as a solid foundation they need to top now. Like HL2 original and Episode 2
It'll be shit.
>VNN
Gotta admit though, he leaked alot of Alyx stuff that ended up being true years before the announcement and release
why does gordon look so fucking kino
True, it's much better to read his leaks in >greentext form but a lot of it is taking shots in the dark and he doesn't adjust for the fact Valve shitcans a lot of their projects.
>They had too many ideas piling up, like sign language
wat
Wait... are all the Half-Life games going to be VR from now on?!?!
I don't care about half life 3 anymore valve fucked with us too much and all the people who worked on HL1 & 2 are gone. It's not gonna be the same. If half life alyx is any example of how theyre gonna fuck it up I don't know what is.
Valve comes up with all sorts of shit
Probably only spinoffs, but they will be the maion focus now
>Alyx isn't even an AAA game, it's like a high-budget indie project
how butthurt does one have to be to think that?
Is it true that Valve has a really hand-off approach to project management, and employees can just pick whatever they are interested in? Maybe that's why they leave TF2 to the intern and janitor to manage?
Yes and no.
They won't make another one as per Valve tradition.
how did they fuck up hl:a?
It's very clearly a AAA game.
>Chadgordon
Nah you'll get søy and like it.

This is the only ChadGordon
Some known shit, some "speculation", some utter no evidence bullshit.No sources.
Fuck off.

Nice reddit meme, retard.
It's fan-made, sadly.
just like the rest of OP's post
>VNN
kill yourself autist
all of this came from tyler? hot damn.
He also believes in rumors without really doing much fact-checking or practicing source critique at all. And then when he gets things wrong he just promises to do better and label speculation properly and then never does. Guy's fucking hopeless. Literally all of this thread could be true or half of it might just be tales from somebody's ass and we'll never know either way.
>high-budget
>indie
one of the biggest oxymorons i’ve seen in a while

Half Life is dead, move a long people.
holy shit i have gordon same face, too bad my eyes aren't green but brown shit, damn mother side genes
half life has always been retconning things
if you get upset at alyx you're just trying to get angry on purpose
>shilling your own videos
Neck thyself, faglord.
Because this was modeled by people who actually likes half-life. And it isnt rendered by Source.
Name one.
Start of EP1 isn't a retcon, if you misunderstood what happened youre a retard.
Portal ending was extended, thats not a retcon.
retard
half life 1
>as for the suit i think you've earned it
half life 2
>you start in civvies and then acquire a different suit from kleiner
the existence of kleiner, eli, barney, and magnusson is basically a retcon
the original teaser for episode 2 which basically didn't happen
the half life 2 and episode 1 thing is a retcon and it works in the exact same way as hla
so if you think that isn't a retcon, then hla's ending and "retconning" of episode 2 isn't a retcon
>i-if i put someone else's video in my post they won't realize i'm shilling!
tie the noose
>pancake weapons
What now?
cope more consoomer
guess I won the argument then :)
Pancake refers to flat screen, weapons for non-VR
Are there any?
I've only seen HL2 weapons in it, but I was pretty sure that those were somehow ported over or whatever
Just give me a crowbar and let me bash G-Man's face in
Where is it from?
yeah there are a few in the standard day 0 build
Imagine still caring about Valve.
Are they just hl2 weapons or something original?
Imagine living in 2016
mixture of half life 2 ports and original
what are the new ones?
they're just generic weapons belonging to archetypes (energy pistol, heavy machine gun etc) but they aren't usable yet
g man shenanigans aren't really a retcon since they're so well established as part of the setting
Nothing wrong with brown eyes
cool
>holy shit i have gordon same face
>infamous Valve autist
Cool story bro
So... what about hl3? Are they only going to work on vr games now?
>he leaked
he made a video on them. people have been finding hl3 and hlvr strings forever mate. he isn't shit.
