Step 1: denial.

It's happening. You know it. This hype train ain't stopping until the game is out.

Hype train? I was on the hype train years ago. That shit has passed.

We have the FFVII remaster, we have Shenmue III and The Last Guardian.
Who the fuck cares about HL3 at this point.

lets go

 

[Timeaisis]

Wait why is this a txt file lol

 

[Machina]

I hope it doesn't end up like the two or three last nintendo hype trains.

You know what the difference is between Nintendo and Valve? Valve don't make promises they can't keep.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

and tomorrow IS my birthday, this is all checking out

Gordon Freeman IS a real hero so......
Oh my god.


I really want Valve to be "Oh yeah, Half Life 3 will be out next month. hf"
That's really the only way to announce that game
OR start some crazy ARG and as soon as people solve the final riddle they start selling the game on Steam.

 

[JCizzle]

After the mehness that was Half-Life 2, I hope Half-Life 3 can bring the series to great heights again.

Wat

Folks that want to play good games that will come out this decade?

*trollface*

 

[Doop]

I predict that nothing will ultimately come from this and it will fade away, until the cycle repeats.

But I really really hope I'm wrong.

 

[artsi]

FF7 Remake
Shenmue 3
Resident Evil 2 HD
The Last Guardian
Half-Life 3

The year of legends.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Pffft. Nintendo smhintendo. That doesn't even make sense. But you know what does? Announcing Half-Life 3 via a text file and then releasing the game three months later.

I'm cancelling my weekend trip. I don't want to miss a thing.

Way more people than those that care about or know what Shenmue is

 

[Discotheque]

i don't believe, i can't.....

 

[Sibylus]

 

[pizzacat]

Wait why is this a txt file lol

its a visual novel now


those make it big on steam

 

[Tansut]

 

[Krabboss]

Not even the first time they've put references to 'hl3' in Dota 2.

 

[Nzyme32]

"Accidentally", my brown ass. They know what they are doing.

Trolls.

Beware of the fake prophet, for he will try to undermine thy lord Gaben's word.

Has science gone two far?

 

[JigglesBunny]

Literally never ever.

Sorry guys.

 

[Omega]

There will be a CSGO International before HL3 releases.

Spoiler

For those not in the know, Valve has said they have no plans on doing a CSGO International. they have pretended to change their stance tho

 

[Zojirushi]

I predict that nothing will ultimately come from this and it will fade away, until the cycle repeats.

But I really really hope I'm wrong.

I predict that nothing of interest games-wise will ever come out of Valve again.

And I really really don't think I'm wrong.

 

[Schryver]

Get hype

 

[KaYotiX]

This game will never live up to the hype, I can see valve being scared to even think about releasing HL3.

 

[Trace]

"Oops"

 

[Phrozenflame500]

The existence of HL3 doesn't surprise me, but I am interested to see how they're going to design gameplay for one of the most anticipated games of all time.

Also

"accidently"

I mean, "hl3.txt" seems a bit *too* convenient.

 

[GYNGA]

hl3 = help lines 3

HL3 unconfirmed, let it go guys

 

[PinkCrayon]

What a bunch of assholes. Half Life 3 is dead and buried, leave it be.

 

[dex3108]

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Wait why is this a txt file lol

Half Life 3 is actually a text adventure game. It's complete but they don't have the heart to tell anyone.

 

[maquiladora]

hl3.txt

C'mon, that's as believable as virus.exe

 

[ashecitism]

string m_Id = "Element.npc_turret_ceiling_pulse"
string m_FriendlyName = "npc_turret_ceiling_pulse"
string m_TooltipOverride = ""
string m_HelpText = "Combine Pulse Ceiling Turret"

string m_Id = "Element.npc_hunter_invincible"
string m_FriendlyName = "npc_hunter_invincible"
string m_TooltipOverride = ""
string m_HelpText = "Invincible Hunter!"

.

I can honestly say I don't care about HL3 anymore. Valve walked away from it and so did I. I am excited about the VIVE and my Link and Steam controller that is en route though.

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

The real chapter 3 for mgsv confirmed?

 

[Patison]

Well, there were rumours that HL3 is now RPG with open-world.

hl3.txt sounds fishy as hell.

 

[MayMay]

Imagine if L4D3 is actually like.. Half-Life 3.

No zombies, but Combines.. and it's a coop game.

I think I'd hate Valve forever.

 

[Rösti]

I am ready for a miracle.

 

[GregLombardi]

They've done stupid shit like this for literally half a decade or more. Will believe "something" when I see "something".

 

[Creaking]

The real chapter 3 for mgsv confirmed?

Breaking news: Kojima joins Valve

Valve issues message:

"Kept you waiting, huh?"

 

[Real Hero]

Imagine if L4D3 is actually like.. Half-Life 3.

Throw in Glados and some Dota things and just call the game ' We can count to 3!!!!!!!'

You're damn right.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

You know what the difference is between Nintendo and Valve? Valve don't make promises they can't keep.

yeah, and that's why I'm playing a fully-updated TF2 on my 360

 

[Sibylus]

Sounds like it's gonna be a co-op game with NPCs in SP that'll take their place ala L4D?

These attributes existed in HL2/episodes.

 

[shandy706]

 

[Begaria]

Now Valve is just fucking with us.

 

[Deadstar]

Procedural generation really bums me the fuck out. Goddammit!.

What if Half Life 3........is No Man's Sky?

 

[213372bu]

They do this a lot as a troll and play it off every year/other year and add and remove files with HL/HL3 references.

TF2 is the most common with these obscure references hidden in edited text/source files that would otherwise be general files that people would glance over.

Even though, I've been off and on the hype train I have some hope it will come out within the next ~5 years. It's about time and would be the next logical step with Vive.

 

[Horp]

I... I.. I really don't know how to react to this.

 

[dex3108]

Person who posted those right now at Valve

 

[Vashetti]

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Haha remember that Half Life 3 screenshots thread? That was hilarious
