> The game will feature a semi-open world, a weather system, day & night cycle, and smart NPCs that can talk with you!
So it’s a video game in 2024, then.

HL3 will be an AI (LLM) showcase?

According to Valve employees (just trust me, I cannot remember where to find the source), Half-Life 3 has been in the works multiple times. But every time it comes to nothing as they cannot find anything they believe would satisfice the audience.

Oh, is it time for the annual Half-Life 3 rumors? Man, time really does seem to move faster the older I get.

And here we see a HL3 rumor in its natural habitat: Unconfirmed on an obscure gaming website.
These rumors normally prey on innocent, unskeptical Valve fans. But steady changes in Earth’s gaming climate have reduced their population in recent years.
Are there enough innocent fans to keep this poor rumor alive? Seemingly not. This poor rumor will likely starve.

Crazy how all media outlers have to do is tag something as rumors and everyone bites and they generate clicks and revenue.
Next week “rumor: Gordon Freeman and the blackmesa compound are story based on a real lifetime event”

Smart NPC’s, huh.
“Hey Mr. Freeman. Mr. Freeman? *Hellooo*. You’re just gonna stand there and stare at me silently? There’s something real creepy about you, pal. Seriously, say something. Anything. Freak, I’m calling the Combine on you.”
And endless variations of that.

They do this once and a while so HL and HL2 sales go through the roof

Even if this is true, I don’t care. I played the original as a kid when it came out in 98′ and loved it, played HL2 when that came out in 03 or 04 and liked it well enough, but it’s 20 years later. I stopped being excited for episode 3 or Half-life 3, whatever they decide to call it, over a decade ago. If it comes out, great, I’ll play it. If it doesn’t, I will feel absolutely nothing.

They better bring it out soon or all the people that are hyped for it from the last games will have died of old age.

This is like the 3rd HL3 rumor I’ve read this month. Either shit is actually happening, or someone is making fake rumors and laughing at us.

I won’t believe it until I see it.

100% reliable & real leak from me:
Half-Life 3 is either under development or not.
