SPIRIT BREAKER?
what if it's actually HL3 and it's new direction
I just got so many boners.
I was thinking, what if this was actually a full on movie? Animated and all in SFM.
I like how everyone's desperately trying to find Half-Life links within the artstyle. Just let it go.
I'm reminded by this short lived mod I saw somewhere on here... about traveling through the "voids" on the outside of a map's geometry, you know, the area where your screen trips out when you look into it? A small team of dudes were making maps that intentionally had holes in the geometry, and the objective was to build a craft to get from one pocket of the map to the other by going "outside" the map. Couldn't see where you were going because it was literally painful to do so, so people were devising blind navigation systems using WireGPS and VECTORs. Really wish it had lasted longer than it did.

I can't even express the level of want I have for this. Open world = (sold) but add some space into that mix and I'm double sold
[QUOTE=Kahgarak;38008456]Using leaks to travel through and bypass map obstacles? holy shit that's so meta[/QUOTE] It literally breaks the fourth wall. I'm also surprised I didn't hear about this sooner.
This, and Star-citizen? The space race is on.
Here we go again with another groundless rumor from the community! An inside source? Is it your grandma? The images in the OP were lifted from MY album of SOB concept art [url]http://imgur.com/a/AiCRE#0[/url] uploaded SEVEN MONTHS AGO and with 60,000 views - They're from my album for two reason: 1.) I added the "may or may not be SOB" text and 2.) you can see the flash navigation arrows at the bottom of the images as a result of my lifting them from Peter Konig's portfolio [url]http://www.peterhkonig.com/[/url], and it looks like most of the images are still on there. I also emailed Peter seven months ago asking about the images and he said: [quote]Some of it is mine, not all. Can't comment on it either way.... Some of it is on my site now, so it can't be toooo sensitive, now can it?[/quote] And the name is bullshit. Someone is just trying to build credibility with their rumor by giving "SOB" a name. But it's bullshit.

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;38008512]It literally breaks the fourth wall. I'm also surprised I didn't hear about this sooner.[/QUOTE] Ended up somewhere in the spacebuild threads... But yeah, someone managed to get a ship outside of map geometry, and found it was still perfectly functional. you just couldn't look outside. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called... but people made maps that consisted of decently sized rooms spread out in random patterns. They'd have various methods of "breaking" the map to allow one to easily move outside of the geometry. I don't think players could move outside, so they got stuck in pods... or they just used cameras. It was cool, but the thread just kinda silently died. but enough derailment. Cool! Valve space game!

Bragging? I simply was building ethos by stating that the images in the OP came from my album. Because they did.
[QUOTE=smashitup;38008872]Bragging? I simply was building ethos by stating that the images came from my album. Because they did.[/QUOTE] what does it change
The pictures are real and from Peter Konig's portfolio website, who no longer works at Valve. However they are still possibly related to SOB. The pictures are old. /thread
Wait what the fuck I was browsing reddit's r/gaming, saw something about Valve on the second page, after checking out the artwork I realized I'm back at Facepunch. :v:

They should probably put an easter egg or a reference to Wheatley and the Space Core, stranded in space. That would be amazing.

Please, [I]please[/I], let this be true.
This could have some potential if done correctly.
[QUOTE=chugolug;38009754]This could have some potential if done correctly.[/QUOTE] It's Valve, they'll do it correctly, delete the whole thing, then do it even more correctly.
I don't like the name.
