Half-Life 3 is perhaps the biggest red herring in the history of video games. No matter what, people will always chase after it, even if the dream of ever seeing the conclusion to Gordon Freeman’s story grows ever more distant with each passing decade.
And now we’ve got a new tidbit that’s got everyone riled up, especially me, who’s grown up hearing about Half-Life 3 but never actually seeing it materialize. It was to the point where I could not look at anything having the number three in it without uttering “HL3 confirmed” and playing the X-Files theme song while drawing triangles. Ah, good times.
Anywho, in a new Q&A hosted by veteran Valve programmer Christopher Green, the developer gave a strong hint toward HLX being Half-Life 3 in what’s probably the most direct “confirmation” of the project’s true nature ever since Gabe Newell was still assuring us that Episode 3 was coming soon.
