The project codenamed HLX, which is thought to be Half-Life 3, is reportedly being widely playtested ahead of a Summer reveal.

Could it be true? We’ve all been waiting so long I’m very skeptical anytime I see articles like this but this actually looks good?

Half-Life: Alyx showed that Valve still knows how to make a great campaign shooter, and it’s not like we’re spoiled for choice in that genre right now. At this point, a solid Half-Life sequel that doesn’t push the envelope would still be amazing.

I mean, sure, but that was VR specific game. Which I found mod for regular play with mouse and keyboard, but there is no friggin way I’m paying 60€ for something I’ll have to mod and play in its unofficial form. So I skipped Alyx entirely. I don’t care about VR and never will.

You’d lose a lot of the effect in mouse and keyboard anyway. Each combat encounter has to be tuned very differently from non-VR. But the point is that they still have a very good understanding of how to make this kind of game.
