We'll have petabyte drives for $50 before HL3 appears.
Most of the people that made half life 1 and 2 are gone I think. Even if they made half life 3 it likely wouldn't be the game we wanted all those decades ago
People really liked Half-Life Alyx so whoever is in the development team is still capable of making a game people love. Though, ultimately, whether a hypotetical release of Half-Life 3 could live up to the hype or not is irrelevant since no such game will ever be released.
Half life 3 will simply never live up to the hype/fantasy people have for it ( I think ).
After all this time I feel they're either never going to release it, or release it when the bar from the public becomes... Realistic.
That was maybe true once, but it's fading into nothing but a meme. Half life is just not relevant for newer generations.
But that may just be the opportunity... Giving them a reason to care.
We said the same thing about Baldur's Gate and then BG3 sold gangbusters. It's possible.
