22.06.2023You're telling me that Call of Duty only exists because a HL1 side game got cancelled?

22.06.2023Reminder: Don't get attached to Valve games, because Valve won't make sequels or fully approve fan projects to complete them. 😂

22.06.2023I long wondered why there was no Gman game or mod. His lore has so much potential!

22.06.2023I've wanted to go back to HL a few times. I miss the game but I'm let down by the shitty cliffhanger.
Just goes to show, Gabe Newell is a selfish asshole.
The Oncoming Storm
22.06.2023It is of note that Epistle 3 has another mod called Infinite Finality announced this year that's supposed to be of a more manageable scope than Project Borealis or Boreal Alyph (Which have gone silent and died respectively). We'll have to see if that pans out.

22.06.2023DidYouKnowGaming is the real MVP for saving the concept art
Julian Doherty
21.06.2023At this point I’d just be happy to find out what happened to Barney after the end of episode 1

21.06.2023It's about time that "Half Life" made a return.. And for Xbox and PS as well.. It's been sorely missed on Console..

21.06.202320 seconds in and I feel like I shouldnt even watch this. It might cause severe psychological damages to my tiny brain.
I like Half life, you see…I, too, was waiting for Hl3 or Episode3 or whatever, you see… for a long time.
However LGR is here so lets watch it…
Why do I feel like Im gonna hate Gabe Newell at the end of this video??

Triage at Dawn could make even the most stupid conversation epic and tragic at the same time, and, the way it's used in this video is perfect, it makes the scene sad because, our man Benson here, is narrating the story of what could have been, but never was because of Valve, but at the same time, it give us hope that, maybe, one day in the future, we will be able to play it.
who knows, maybe on one of those USBs there's still a working build of HL:HT that it's waiting for us!
amazing video, man, also great collab!
gabrielchcosta
20.06.2023So they didn't release these awesome sounding games but they released ricochet? damn…
Francisco Gonzalez Licea
20.06.2023So this is the hl2 episode 3 storyline, i wish the game should be released.
Lisandro Gomez

17.06.2023Hearing there was a "to be destroyed room" with stacks of concept art from previous and unreleased games, most of which left behind, literally made my heart and jaw drop, that is beyond devastating oh my god
MajorTom2417
17.06.2023The only thing missing from this? Ross Scott, in character as Gordon Freeman, interrupting the end credits with a rant.
Thumping Thromnambular
17.06.2023In a way, Half Life is made more special by having the end never be made.
Its' potential energy survives.
UmbraAtrox
17.06.2023just wow ❤

Gordon Never Dies
17.06.2023Half Life has the same problem a lot of tv shows have nowadays. They made the story too deep and obscure without knowing how to properly end it. Epistle 3 was bleak and miserable. Now with the VR game they retconned the story with time travel like the Marvel movies. They had so much to work with and so many passionate fans like myself to support it.

17.06.2023"Valve News Network" His name is Tyler McVicker, thanks.

16.06.2023Lol. I was confused. Is this new LGR channel😂😂
Zucchini
16.06.2023Valve some times uses details form past Ideas I wonder if any ideas for allied processing may have contributed to the portals aperture labs. maybe. maybe not.
Zucchini
16.06.2023Totally just an idea but what if half-life 3 did not take place after half life 2 episode 2 but the Rocket launched stomped the combined take over. but attracted a much more intense alien the combine were the lady bugs of the galaxy. and the rocket brought wasps.
Dude
16.06.2023Too many years have passed for me to care about Half-Life's future or Valve in general. I'll always enjoy the old games and it's community though. I think them making the first HL game in 13 years sit firmly behind the high price wall of VR, rubbed HL fans the wrong way. Thus anything related HL nowadays is met with lukewarm reaction. We're just tired of being jerked around for almost two decades. We get old and we move on. Thanks for the memories.

16.06.2023They cancelled all these great projects that actually went so well for no apparent reason
But they released a card game
