"HL3" and "L4D3" mentioned in strings in the SteamVR Performance Test, along with a high quality mod - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=flashn00b;49793249]My statement still stands regarding Half-Life 3.[/QUOTE] This + Elon Musk appears in game.

I've had my hopes destroyed too many times by now. Even if HL3 were released and super amazing, I probably wouldn't even bother.

My guess is it might have been made a while back for when Half Life 3 was actually on the tables, but is only just now being used for the tech demos.

[QUOTE=Melnek;49793590]knowing the fanbase is so sensitive to seeing "hl3" in code strings and will literally shit their pants and contact the news when they stumble across such code do you think that maybe perhaps some valve employees deliberately put 'hl3' and subtle little references just to fuck with you knowing full well that any content they release will be picked apart to pieces and analyzed down the letter in seconds? because i would totally do this if i was in their shoes[/QUOTE] nice conspiracy theory

[QUOTE=Tools;49793746]I've had my hopes destroyed too many times by now. Even if HL3 were released and super amazing, I probably wouldn't even bother.[/QUOTE] you'll buy it anyways and you know it

[QUOTE=benbb;49793752]My guess is it might have been made a while back for when Half Life 3 was actually on the tables, but is only just now being used for the tech demos.[/QUOTE]And what about all the more recent references to Half-Life 3 in documentation, some of which had to have been created since the middle of last year?

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;49793784]And what about all the more recent references to Half-Life 3 in documentation, some of which had to have been created since the middle of last year?[/QUOTE] How would I know? I don't work for Valve. After 10 years of waiting for a sequel I can't help but feel a little cynical that there just won't be another Half Life, but if there is then you bet my face will light up with joy.

[QUOTE=J!NX;49793780]you'll buy it anyways and you know it[/QUOTE] Not saying I wouldn't, but I've given up getting my hopes up for the slightest thing pertaining to Half-Life unless Valve explicitly says or does something [editline]22nd February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=AaronM202;49794070]Can we stop with the cartoonish levels of pessimism jesus christ.[/QUOTE] Only after your cartoonish level of optimism

[QUOTE=AaronM202;49794070]Can we stop with the cartoonish levels of pessimism jesus christ.[/QUOTE] you shouldn't blame them. people who are intentionally cynical like me are just trying to make sure they won't be disappointed again. sure, it is possible that the model was recently made for hl3, but that chance is too small to risk getting disappointed.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;49794143] Only after your cartoonish level of optimism[/QUOTE] Dude you're literally in a thread where theres been leaked code and a MODEL related to Half-Life and you're still going "there aint no half-life" [editline]22nd February 2016[/editline] How is it cartoonishly optimistic to look RIGHT AT something and go "maybe thats a thing thats happening" [editline]22nd February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Trixil;49794188]you shouldn't blame them. people who are intentionally cynical like me are just trying to make sure they won't be disappointed again. sure, it is possible that the model was recently made for hl3, but that chance is too small to risk getting disappointed.[/QUOTE] Thinking logically, its safe to assume they're going to be doing something. We know for sure theres two projects they're working on, and theres nothing known "officially" after the Vive is released, and they just finished up a game engine. s'all im sayin.

[QUOTE=TWPBobs;49794326]Also stop rating people dumb when you disagree with them, in attempts to discredit them.[/QUOTE] No.

Nothing will come of this, but seeing this new content does arouse suspicions

[QUOTE=AaronM202;49794347]You assume this is all i do, when its not. No.[/QUOTE] You've been doing it for the past 3 hours straight in the 3 popular Half Life threads that have come up. Around 15 posts so far.

[QUOTE=TWPBobs;49794373]You've been doing it for the past 3 hours straight in the 3 popular Half Life threads that have come up. Around 15 posts so far.[/QUOTE] No actually, for the past few hours i was watching Deadpool. And yeah, i read all three threads and posted in them, whats your point? Food for thought: Why should i have to stop when they dont? I see those posts in every. Fucking. Valve thread. Every single one, even when theres clear evidence IN THAT VERY THREAD (this one for example) to the contrary. So, why am i the one who needs to stop?

[QUOTE=TWPBobs;49794373]You've been doing it for the past 3 hours straight in the 3 popular Half Life threads that have come up.

I am however, lacking confidence as to whether or not it [i]should.[/i][/QUOTE] really all in all we can't be sure. Just have to assume that yes, they're making it it'd be stupid NOT to make it, it'll sell itself. Half life has star-wars-syndrome. You could package a pile of shit, call it half life, and people would buy, and justify it no matter what that's not to say half life is or will be awful, but that the fanbase would go wild [QUOTE=Trixil;49794188]you shouldn't blame them. people who are intentionally cynical like me are just trying to make sure they won't be disappointed again. sure, it is possible that the model was recently made for hl3, but that chance is too small to risk getting disappointed.[/QUOTE] pushing away the idea so that it doesn't hurt as much if it's not coming at least it makes sense

Might as well just wait until there's proof to your statements before telling others they're wrong, when they are quite correct in not hyping up a game that might not even exist yet.

[QUOTE=TWPBobs;49794412]Might as well just wait until there's proof to your statements before telling others they're wrong, when they are quite correct in a game not being here yet.[/QUOTE] Thats not what they're saying, friendo. They're literally saying its not being made. [QUOTE=benbb;49793752]My guess is it might have been made a while back for when Half Life 3 was actually on the tables, but is only just now being used for the tech demos.[/QUOTE] This, first page, and quoted in my post. What you're saying, nobody says, its always this. [editline]22nd February 2016[/editline] There are, infact, proof to my statements too. Knock knock hint hint[i][b] look at the thread you're in.[/b][/i]

Okay I guess we can agree to disagree. So hostile, jesus christ.

[QUOTE=J!NX;49794398]what a great set of first posts to make bitching about ratings I can really tell that you're going to fit in[/QUOTE]The fact they picked up on them quickly and snapped over them says its someone who has been around a while, at least a lurker if not an alt of someone. Either way, they should know better. [QUOTE]really all in all we can't be sure. Just have to assume that yes, they're making it it'd be stupid NOT to make it, it'll sell itself.

Putting off calling that out won't change things.

[QUOTE=TWPBobs;49794427]Okay I guess we can agree to disagree. So hostile, jesus christ.[/QUOTE] Not intentionally hostile, i just dont hold back whats on my mind. Especially when you said something that i can bark back arguments against using the very thread you're posting in itself.

Let people do what they do, If they want to be pessimistic over a video game series not coming out, let them. It's okay.

So, you an alt or a lurker? [editline]22nd February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=TWPBobs;49794455]Let people do what they do, If they want to be pessimistic over a video game series not coming out, let them. It's okay.[/QUOTE] No. Not when they fill up every thread about the game or company with the same drivel, time after time after time, like spam. Its not okay.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;49794457]Its not okay.[/QUOTE] why?

[QUOTE=TWPBobs;49794468]why?[/QUOTE] Are you for real? Like, the reason why is literally the sentence above that. Which you cut out. You focused actual effort into cutting the answer out, and then you ask me about the answer. Which you cut out.

If someone has an opinion why attempt to silence them, because you disagree with them? Keep in mind me telling you to hold back on blasting people, over and over was simply that; suggesting you should stop repeating your opinion over and over. We understand you feel the game is 100% coming out.

did this thread seriously get derailed like this??? no, not THIS way [QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;49794432] Exactly, for all the talk about how greedy Valve has become, they ignore the obvious fact that Half-Life is one of the most famous video game series in existence, and has a fanbase that is incredibly loyal and anticipatory.
