For those out of the loop, most felt Half life 3 was officially dead after one of the lead writers Marc Laidlaw leaked the plot to half life 2 episode 3 to give fans closure:
Wonder what Valve is doubling down with this title?
It seems like the previous games were all ground-breaking narratives, but with most of the storytellers having left in the last few years, I'd be curious to see what makes this different than your standard VR games
>It seems like the previous games were all ground-breaking narratives
HL1: sure. Environment storytelling and exposition delivered by fully voiced NPCs? Back in 1998 that was legitimately amazing.
HL2: the same only better! That's not a dis on it, it's just the story/storytelling wasn't particularly groundbreaking at that point. It was just done well.

So it's surprising to see more half life being worked on!
