Maryokutai Posted December 10, 2024 Share Posted December 10, 2024 I'm off work so I could technically watch it live, but I think I'll just skim through the day after. It's really late for Europe after all and 3 hours is an eternity when you consider that 90 minutes of those will be trailers for mobile games and extraction shooters.

one-armed dwarf Posted December 10, 2024 Author Share Posted December 10, 2024 Schrier hyping it up apparently, says there are two things that'll make ppl go holy shit https://www.resetera.com/threads/andy-vgc-expecting-a-very-big-game-awards-fire-up-the-hype-train-not-a-guess.1053654/post-132738762 Now obviously one of them is Half-Life 3, undoubtedly no question about that. But what is the other 🤔 Altho watching the clip he equates 'hype announcement' with that stupid Quantic Dream Star Wars announcement a few years back, so that grounds that very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted December 11, 2024 Author Share Posted December 11, 2024 More hyping up, so it does seem like a Little Britain Remake can't be ruled out at this point (features editor at VGC) https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ooelp7wdjtocdmk37v3kofhq/post/3lczjg5le3k24?ref_src=embed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 As much as I like a good bit of hype how many times have these kind've tweets (or whatever the fuck they are now) fallen on their arse. Short of unexpected hardware reveals I honestly don't know what would get that kind've reaction nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Yea I mean really the only way that hype can be matched is if they do actually have Half Life 3 or somehow convinced Nintendo to do their Switch 2 reveal there. Or a new GTA but we already know about that so… Nothing else will match the kind of shit they’re going on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 11, 2024 Author Share Posted December 11, 2024 Well, maybe when he says 'holy shit' he means it in a bad or strange way. Like, Sony come on stage "one last thing", announces a partnership with Tenga. Holy shit Sony why. On a serious note, forgot to mention it when bumping the Orange Box thread but they do actually talk about the future of Half Life in the Half Life 2 commentary, which was only recorded this year. So whether that gets announced this week or not, it's absolutely a thing they are working on. If they don't just cancel it internally again like all the other times...

Nag Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 I've never even played Half Life but in a world of Fortnite and other GaaS type giants would HL3 even be that big a deal nowadays? Maybe to folk a certain age maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 11, 2024 Author Share Posted December 11, 2024 It doesn't have a huge captive audience in that sense I suppose, but the thing with HL is it's generally tried to push technology and gameplay design first before story. But integrate the narrative in super clever ways. But the story isn't deep in Half Life or a major reason for someone to play it, it's more additional Basically I wouldn't expect it to be like a FFVII Rebirth situation where all they market is nostalgia story beats and younger people don't have a reason to care. It would be cause the game is trying to do stuff that's technically incredible, like HL1, 2 and Alyx did. Like players didn't need to know what Black Mesa was to be impressed by City 17 in both HL2 and Alyx, so it's not necessarily a new position for these games to be in Of course this is also the thing which has paralyzed Valve for so long cause it's harder and harder to achieve 'technically incredible' now. But if they have something to show, or release, it's likely something they think will bring in as much people as possible (who can run it, at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Well if it is ever actually announced I hope for the folk who do care it's all they ever wanted... nothing like the anticipation of getting something you've waited for. Like a fucking Resident Evil 9 reveal.😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Valve seems so far away from that VGA hype thing though to the point where I wonder if Gabe would open his pockets to spend money on Keighley when they would have media attention on them whenever they wanted to go public anyway. A bit like Rockstar with GTA or Nintendo with Switch 2, which are two other things I don't really expect to see here. Schreier also mentioned the big things are far away, which also goes a bit against current Valve strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 11, 2024 Author Share Posted December 11, 2024 Yea, I think if they were going to announce it it would need to be near to releasing, not 2026 People reading the tea leaves on resetera this seem to think Spoiler Naughty Dog's new game and Witcher 4 are the 'two big things' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 12, 2024 Author Share Posted December 12, 2024 Oh, this is on today, not tomorrow*. Fuck sake I didn't know that I'm gonna tank it like Dr Strange, stay up til 4 am to be disappointed.

mmmark Posted December 12, 2024 Share Posted December 12, 2024 I’ll be up watching too with a few screwdrivers and chinas finest vape, the hayati pro ultra 15000. Maneater 2 would be nice. I also dreamt Nintendo had a switch 2 tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 12, 2024 Share Posted December 12, 2024 if this is on until 4 then I'm not watching it all. I might put it on in bed, but Keighley makes me furious, the capitalist pig dog, and rage and sleep don't mix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
