I know about that , but maybe they'll find other reasons to build HL3 as a traditional game, like using it to advance certain aspects of their engine. I guess I'm an "always look on the bright side of life" kind of guy.

That said, I'd also love if they kept doing other VR games of this level.

Well too me there are two roads from everything Ive heard that Valve has talked about:

  • Alyx being a hit which will lead to more HL games in the future, surely a HL3, but it will be VR only
  • Alyx not being a hit, no more HL games

Valve knows they would have made bank on making Alyx a flatscreen game, but they didn't, so I can't see why they would make HL3 for flatscreen if Alyx being a VR game is a hit.

Also, just to make it clear, Im not saying I don't want a flatscreen HL3, I would play the shit out of a flatscreen HL3, I love both flatscreen gaming and VR gaming, it's just that there are nothing that points towards HL3 being a flatscreen game. When it has taken 13 years for Valve to make a new HL game it it is in VR only, I don't see HL3 being for flatscreen.

Welp, I only want Turok from the bundle.
Nothing to play before Ori 2 :cryblob:
Maybe I should start Black Mesa before Alyx, just so I can wait for the release and still not buy the Index because it's too expensive. :smart-thinking-blob:

I'm not too fond of old-timey non-ADS shooters for whatever reason. Halo is the only one that ever "clicked" for me, and even then it's always been love/hate kinda thing.

You can have my Turok code, check your PM's. 👍

I liked Final Fantasy X the best and then 8 after that (but i havent really played many others).

XIII was ok but way to drawn out and linear. XV was complete shit.

You can have Battle Chasers. Maybe some other kind Santa will give away another Planet Coaster.

Alyx isn't a spin off according to Valve though. It's the next part of the HL story and something in the game also makes it clear people need to have finished Episode 2 according to Valve.

According to Alanah Pearce, some people at Valve also refers to Alyx as "Half-Life 3".

Interesting. So I assume you used the general “Hide” tag right? I guess it hides everyone except people you @.

I suspect Valve is more likely to make a Half Life 3 that is VR only than any vanilla Half Life...

Not having a number on it doesn't make it an spin-off, it's an story based on the main time-line that will connect not only with Half-Life 2 but also future elements. Alyx is perfectly another episode of the Half-Life time-line, it's not like some of the comics based on different parts of the world after the invasion but following Vance steps.

The only reason Valve didn't call it 3 is because you don't play as Freeman. This is Alyx's story and she isn't a silent protagonist. The game is much slower too and not your typical run n gun Half-Life game. Although that 3rd video they uploaded looked kinda fast and intense.

They'll save 3 for 10-15 years from now. And it will most likely be a Source 3 game lol. This VR game is like a safety net for them. If people hate the game and its not received well they always have 3 to fall back on later. If people love it they'll make 3 much sooner and it will probably be a VR game just like Alyx.

Currently playing through Kentucky Route Zero, or at least trying to because the tone and way the game is set up isn't exactly captivating me. Doesn't help that the writing feels pretentious and there's barely any gameplay...
Howlongtobeat says it's 6h long to finish the whole thing but Act 1 felt like an eternity already...

Mor i absolutely get what you mean , but deep down its still VR-only project to push the medium (of VR further) and its not a direct continuations

I didnt mean the "spinoff" in the bad way like ubisoft does (smaller experimental thing) , but just that its not the the direct continuation of the mainline, but more of a filling the blanks as different character.
In the end i mostly just said that to disagree with fanto (not to trigger you) about his statement that "if Alyx succeeds HL3 will be VRonly aswell".
Which i dooubt ,especially with all the memes about it.

(not sure if i make sense here , bit sleep deprived right now)

You are super super great ! Some other member (I don't know if he wants to be named) already gifted me Planet Coaster yesterday. All the while I was catching up on the thread I was sweating bullets seeing the green mail notification, fearing some other kind soul was gifting me Planet Again :sweaty-blob:

I'm still in the market for Planet DLC, as the lovable gifter kept it. How dare he ! Am I right, or am I right ? :cat-heart-blob:

I :photoblobheart: you all
