      Not the first time I’ve heard this. There was a leak that was very quickly deleted where it mentioned Valve were using some type of custom GPT for calculating physics (instead of for LLMs). So instead of doing actual complex physics calculations for environmental destruction, a GPT type AI would be doing it.

      Obviously its to go in tandem with their current physics, just offloading specific stuff to the AI. It’s apparently very good.

      Source is trust me bro, but we’ll find out soon enough I guess.

    The most rational explanation I can think of is that it’s a planted leak to figure out who’s leaking.

    Either that or just extreme wishful thinking.

    I hereby pledge to donate 500€ to ablegamers if HL3 becomes a launch title for the Gabe Cube. This is not a joke.

    Still pretty sure my money is safe and it will be released after Winds of Winter. Which in turn will be released after the heat death of the universe.

        That’s the plan. Kinda. Honestly I really don’t believe this article or any other bs with their HL3 leaks. Shit got old 20 years ago.

        But IF it happens: I will.

    There were so many suggestions and prediction about Half-Life 3, that I cannot take anyone doing it seriously anymore. There were suggestions Half-Life 3 could be announced at the Summer Games Fest in example. I don’t expect the game to launch with the system, despite it would be the “perfect” opportunity. But someone said it could, so people start believing it will. And off course they will write articles about rumors, because that generates hot link of clicks.

    Just to be clear, I down voted this because it’s an article about rumors originating from unnamed sources being talked about by a gaming journalist via his podcast. May as well just print the article out and wipe your ass with it.

    So what would the major innovation be? Running native under Linux? That seems too little focused on the game itself… Would it be the vr? That doesn’t seem novel enough given Alyx…

    Edit: Oh no. Is it going to be AI of some sort? AI dialogue or something?

    Edit 2: Co-op vr campaign? With a game director like in l4d, but then much more sophisticated

        Seems like putting unnecessary hours on the Deck’s battery for it just to be a controller but I guess that could be cool?

        Quick, someone build an emulator for Star Fox Zero 😅

      Steam consistently have been pretty anti-AI, not banning it, but heavily suggesting not to play games which use it.

      So very much doubt AI.

      If anything it would be Source Engine updates, HL1 was an elaborate tech demo, at its heart. As was HL2, to a lesser extent.

        Ricochet 2 will be sort of Valve’s Smash Brothers with all the characters from Half Life, Portal, Team Fortess and Left4Dead… and it will be cannon tied in a single Valve’s Multiverse.

        Still not “3” for any of them tho.

        That would be glorious. Everyone does the dumb light cycles. Richochet is the better, cooler, Tron inspired game.

    The devs explicitly stated in the HL2 commentary that HL3 was not being worked on and that they had no plans on resuming development.

    This is your reminder that there were more credible leaks for HL3 when the Xbox 360 was the flagship console.
