So when do you all think this will be official?
R.I.P. in piece internet. xD
I'm hoping it's something crazy like allowing people on your friendlist to populate your combat scenarios as non-speaking NPCs, though it would require a crazy amount of work.I miss single-player Valve. : /
Whatever Half-Life 3 is, I bet it has an online component built in to the main game.
Off topic, but in regards to the looping train, it's totally CGI.
It would be impossible for a train (even one going twice as fast as a normal one - as in the gif) to be able to complete the loop.
Also, on a morbid note, if this was real then everyone on board the train is dead from G-force.

We've seen leaked concept art before and HL2: Ep 3 at some point existed in some nebulous, announced as in-development state. Valve now official calling the next game Half-Life 3, though? Holy shit, this is really happening.
I can't believe anyone thinks they are just beginning development.
Well if they started just now then we should see the game in the next 3-4 years. That's right around the corner.
JaseC pls come in here and kill this
pls
I have to agree. This game has most likely been in development the whole time in one form or another.
Indeed. Not to mention the fact that I'm sure Valve would want to sell as many copies of Half-Life 3 as they possibly could. They can't do that by making it SteamOS exclusive. That'd be really stupid.
I wonder what is more important to Valve.
Selling Half Life 3 to substantially more people, or the adoption of their OS?
Why would they force people to use steam to play Half-Life 2? They'd use it to drive adoption of their new software.
I never lost faith Gaben
Those are pretty decent sized development teams. How far does GAF reckon this thing is into production? I don't think there's any way it can be a launch title for the Steam Machines, can it?
I'm not going to say that this is 100% true, but it's likely true that I've played the Half Life games more than anybody else here. But even I dont care anymore. The story has lost all of it's momentum. It's been too long.
Valve aren't really going to care about adoption of SteamOS. SteamOS is just a tool to drive adoption of Steam.
It's likely still in the earlier stages of development given that there's only now a second group. For comparison, L4D3 had three back in June:
Is it happening? Sure. Are you going to see it any time soon? Outlook not so good.

He did to work on his own small game projects, but bear in mind that there's little technical difficulty in taking him on to do HL3's music (assuming he's interested). He's probably one of the few original team members that doesn't need a computer and a desk at Valve to still produce content.Kelly Bailey? I thought he left Valve years ago. Did I miss something?

As exciting as Half Life 3 is, Source 2 is what has me really hyped. Modders are gonna come out with some really cool shit.
My fantasy:
Left 4 Dead 3, Half Life 3, Portal 3, Team Fortress 3 in...
Orange Box 2, exclusive for Steam OS.
They're passed the problem of Steam adoption, that matter was practically settled when HL2 hit. Valve's new goal is getting Steam in the living room, and they need SteamOS to do it. They're not going to worry about PC gamers, they're technologically savvy enough to know how to install SteamOS on a separate partition. HL3 is going to be the Trojan horse that drives SteamOS adoption.
That is my nightmare, not my fantasy. I don't want a completely different OS to play those games.
I think people who continue to trumpet this opinion are going to be eating crow.
