Half-Life 3 Logo Appears on Mystery Website

[AetherWolf]

Do I suspect it's fake? Yes.
Am I sitting on the edge of my seat and trying to hide my excitement despite this? Yep.

Spoiler

My personal theory: This is real.

My personal other theory: Valve are working with the Black Mesa Source team to put together a combined five-part Superbox of the half-life series - sort of a continuation of the Orange Box theme. All with upgraded graphics to match the new Source features, of course... Half-Life 2 and the Episodes getting updated/renovated textures, models, and shaders.

Now the Internet is just dicking with us.

I hate you, Valve.

I hate you to the very core of my soul.

The way that you've been able to toy with my emotions and make me want to believe that a simple, most-likely Photoshopped picture is the coming of something big should be considered high treason against humanity!

OT: I feel that there's too many signs pointing towards HL3-related snippets for all of it to be fake. Valve's Half-Life 3 shirts, the Wheatley VGA video, and Valve's next project beyond CS: Global Offensive and DOTA 2 pointing towards nothing else.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

It's gonna be so hilarious in 2166 when ep3 finally gets released and it's basically just another bland shooter because of all the hype.

I swear Gaben has probably eaten the entire dev team and all they've done so far is make a green gravity gun.

If it's a real announcement, I bet the Apperture logo in the background will lead to GLaDOS saying "Haha. Fooled you. I guess you'll just have to settle for little old me," and the Half-Life logo will change into a Portal logo. It's genious!

 

[Inglorious891]

My mind tells me it's fake.
But my heart tells me it's true.

God, please let this be real...

 

[Kelethor]

I dunno. Maybe? I only got around to playing through all the Half lives around last summer, so I guess im not as entitled to being upset as everyone else...but don't get me wrong, This would be sweeeeeeeeet.

 

[RJ Dalton]

Please stop jerking my chain. It's starting to hurt my neck.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I doubt it is real. I won't get my hopes up until I see some kind of proof from Valve.

 

[Rushin]

Its simple we are getting half life 3 in 2019. Which is next week in valve time

 

[wsmieszek]

Well, the coupon for -50% off on any Valve product mentions that it is not valid for any Valve release after Jan 2nd, 2012. The coupon itself will be only usable till March 2012 so we might see some game from Valve very very soon.

 

[Tomo Stryker]

I want to say that it is completely fake, but for the life of me this seems almost legit. The shirt, VALVes' server, now this picture?

Meh, I'll wait til I see a trailer.

 

[Xannieros]

Until it's confirmed by Valve, I won't believe anything related to Half life 3.

 

[theriddlen]

All of that is 5 minutes of work in Photoshop and a couple of images with links. A child could do that.

 

[Neotericity]

Must......stay......calm
Please let this be real.

It's so fucking hard not to, I came close to hyperventilating, holy shit so awesome

 

[Doclector]

Either some random person on the internet is trolling, or Gabe Newell's trolling us again, dangling it just out of reach like teasing a dog with some really good bacon then scoffing it down in one in front of him.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

[thespyisdead]

to be honest with you, i couldn't care less about the authenticity of this, cos i have lost interest in it a looooooong time ago, just like i did with the halo franchise
