With the recent Half-life 3 t-shirt spotted in the wild attached to a Valve employee, the speculation surrounding the newest entry in the series has risen dramatically this past week, it’s time to look at some facts.
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.
Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
Release date? They haven't even announced it yet. It's all rumors and wild predictions, nothing solid (yeah, a guy in a shirt is a solid proof, gimme a break).
I totally agree with the author on the whole "pulling FPS genre out of the water." It's been too long since we've had innovation in the genre... not that all these Call of Duty's and Battlefields were THAT bad, though they've become a bit stale in terms of gameplay innovations.
This isn't like tracking a menstruation cycle. Just look at Episode 3. Menopause set it.
I want more Half Life :(
This article makes no sense whatsoever. Because Valve announced other games to "distract" from Half-Life 3, that means Half-Life 3's going to get announced with a release date soon?
This is absurd speculation.
