It's already too late. HL1 came out 27 years ago, HL2 came out 20 years ago.
Only old people will be hyped. Old people don't hype well.
Only a few people have VR, and its easy to get into that top 10 when there are maybe 15 good games for VR on the steam store total.
It's because we are all tired and something usually hurts. The thing that hurts and the reason it hurts changes, but "something hurts" is near constant state of being.
I think his is underestimating how big HL3 is as a part of gaming culture. Half Life really wasn't part of my generation, but I grew up with HL3 being memed constantly. The constant fake leaks and rumors have kept the idea alive. Just a couple months ago I saw a lot of people genuinely believe it was going to be announced during The Gaming Awards thanks to a leak that Valve would be present. Every gaming event has chat full of people spamming Half Life 3 memes. Plus, Alyx got a lot of younger gamers to play the series.
If Half-Life 3 were actually announced the hype would 100% be there, even if most of it will be from people who had never played the games.
