They’ll make Alyx 2, and end it on a cliffhanger that won’t come for another 20+ years.

Alyx is not half life 3. It’s not trying to be half life 3 - but imo half life needs to be groundbreaking on some level. Half life 1,2 and Alyx accomplish this in their own ways - 1 was the first game I played with scripted story events and advanced AI, 2 had physics people had never seen before integrated into gameplay, Alyx was in VR and a whole other level that legitimately tricks you into feeling like you’re actually in the world unlike anything I’ve experienced - helped by the incredible graphics and new physics - there is still no vr game that matches it even closely. But if there is gonna be a half life 3 it need to do something new not just be a continuation of the story - if that’s all it needed to be it shoulda just been an episode 3 15 years ago"But they made it - it's Alyx, that VR game" must be the sentence I hate the most at the moment. It brings the worst in me when I hear it.
Yes, that's what the world was waiting for, a fucking vr game to play with that thing on your head. That's HL3 we wanted. Fuck.

It's far better than we all could have wanted, because we didn't know about high-end VR back when we played HL2."But they made it - it's Alyx, that VR game" must be the sentence I hate the most at the moment. It brings the worst in me when I hear it.

Alyx is legitimately one of the most immersive experiences I have ever had. If HL3 is a VR game built on Alyx’s technology I’ll be plenty happy. I don’t even know if I’d want a non-VR HL game now.
If you haven’t played the HL2 VR mod, it’s excellent. I can’t even imagine going back to that game anymore without VR, it made it come to life (vehicle sections used to bore me, but in VR they’re amazing).I would be pissed if HL3 is not VR honestly. There's no going back.
There's HL2 in VR. Not Valve but they are endorsing it (mod is on Steam).At the very least do a full blown remake/remaster of HL2. Would love a modern console version of that game with modern graphics. And add some QOL things like ability to aim down sights.
