Rumor That Half Life 3 Will Be Announced At TGA

Yeah, why not? Just the millionth time.

When "holy shit" was talked about, I honestly thought of Half Life and Bloodborne. Jason apparently said not Bloodborne, so, it leaves me to wonder what "holy shit" means to people.

I want to believe Gabe would be there to announce it. Believe me. But, I too, do not believe Gabe gives two shits about The Game Awards. That being said I know that him and Geoff know each other pretty well.

So, if one IS Half Life, what's the other? Lmao. Definitely not something that's "holy shit" material IMO.

TGA gets hundreds of millions of viewers. Theres literally no better time. Gabe and Geoff are tight. Its happening.

Represent™ World Exclusive


......


The catch is it will be on their new (trash) console and exclusive to it.
That's like saying GTA6 could do with more exposure.

You could announce HL3 on a bus shelter in the Falkland Islands and the whole world still know about it within 12 hours.
 
Could see it happen with the media roll out they had recently about old concepts. Almost got a sense of we fecked up not just doing it.

While it would be big news I did notice the lack of interest and talk about the bits they released, this would've caused meltdowns 10-15 years ago but many of those people aged 28-40 back then have stopped gaming or not active or invested enough.

HL3 is announced every year in every event.

The law says that it can be finally announced only when the rumors stop and no one expects it anymore.
 
That’s honestly one of the very few things that would make people say holy shit. So maybe it’s true.

There might be a new naughty dog game that’s just leagues ahead of anything we’ve seen before, because they have the potential for it. What else? Game pass on PlayStation? Switch 2 reveal? GTA6 gameplay? There aren’t many things that will make people go holy shit.

Not a chance. Valve and Gabe already abandoned this project and he does nto even have a clue what story he will make if he will make a sequel. But HL1 and HL2 for me two of the greatest games all time.

The rumor is they're announcing it with new hardware. That hardware will need eyes. Thats where Geoff comes in.
Yeah I can see where you are coming from. Without Geoff Valve and HL3 would be fucked.

A ten minute youtube video of just a HL3 logo would get more views then every tga stream put together.

You're underestimating The Game Awards and its pretty funny. The last TGA got more live views than the fucking GTA6 trailer. Lol.

And trust me, Half Life 3 is not coming close to the GTA6 hype/views.
TGA... Has anything truly mind-blowing ever came out of that show? Serious question
Elden Ring, Uncharted 2, and Xbox Series X are the biggest annuncements I'd say.

Uhhh, because Naughty Dog is the most talented developer in the industry and its not even close really. Whatever game they make will be groundbreaking and generation defining, as per usual.

Valve is a shell of itself, they would be lucky to share the same stage as Neil DruckGodd tomorrow.

Oh look, someone who didn't play Half-Life Alyx

Ok, just so I'm clear, current expectations for announcements from Geoff Keighley's platform agnostic advertiser sizzle reel masquerading as an awards show for video games, despite featuring more Hollywood actors than people from the video game industry, are:
  • Nintendo's Switch 2
  • Xbox's handheld and next-gen consoles will be announced
  • Valve's Half-Life 3 will be announced and shown
  • Rockstar's GTAVI's new trailer will be shown
  • Fromsoft's Bloodborne 2 will be announced
  • Fromsoft and Sony's Bloodborne Remastered will be announced
Any one of which would be a headliner for any of their owner's respective shows, but they're choosing Keighley's show because [insert your ChatGPT-generated list of non-sense here]?

This announcement is bigger than Jeff's fucking game awards. Why would they want this mashed in with a bunch of other announcements when they can have their own event like they did with HL Alyx. Absolute BS.
