the comments are nice, but who's thought was: damn I guess I'm old

Say it yesterday, my 12 yr old son was playing the original HL because the new HD models weren't as "cool".

The intro in HL:Alyx was even scarier than original

The two valve VR logos are terrifying.

Man, the good ol days where I actually played a game to completion rather than just 40 minutes of it before being distracted by something.

Amazing how one photo can bring back years of good times. This was my entire childhood.

My son was excited by the remastered intro, then he was disappointed with the game dynamics. Anyway, guess who can now buy his dream lambo

That was back when valve made games.

I loved Half-Life: Alyx
Troldann
I ordered an Index the week it was announced. No regrets. I hope so much that post-credits scene is what it seems to be.
ricbri695
Replaying the HL games now - took me a while to work up to it with the imminent sadness knowing the story is incomplete
DOSGamerMan
another 10 years, and we should get the next one.
AxellTheDragon
tzahtman
Didn't they used to make video games?
DOSGamerMan
I think they did. Damned good games.
NordicusMaximus
I miss the days when Valve made games. Such a good studio, until Steam took over the money making.
YourMotherApproves
Valve and Steam. I see what they did there.
billpod
Remember that big article about how awesome their decentralized management structure is, the "cabal system"? Maybe it's not so awesome...
AntiProtonBoy
Jerry Ellsworth was quite critical about it.
Smil3yRil3y
Final Hours of HL:A basically explained that developing the Source 2 engine from ‘08 to ‘15 halted work on their future titles 1/
Smil3yRil3y
The engine was suppose to bring in some revolutionary new feature that would be tied with a mainline HL title. They had some ideas 2/
Smil3yRil3y
With AR from 2010-2012 but it was cancelled. As a result, S2 engine development stalled, causing projects like L4D3 to sputter out /3
mormacil
One would argue that ~2010 Steam took over right? Since then they released: Portal 2, CSGO, DOTA2, HL: Alyx, all solid games... That's 1/2
mormacil
a about the same output as Bethesda Studios or Obsidian Entertainment. 2/2
sadurdaynight
I think Valve is shifting into a publisher role. They have the platform (Steam), and the cash to fund 3rd party devs.
mormacil
They already have with things like L4D and Portal 1. But HL Alyx was super recent. They do all the things it seems
shroombab
those were all released 10 years ago, with the exception of hl:alyx.
mormacil
DOTA2 was 8 years ago. Artefact was little over 2 years ago. DOTA Underlords is a year old. They're not hits but they're games for sure.
RoutemasterFlash
Which you need a rig that costs as much as a small house to play, in any case.
Idsertian
Not really. You'd be surprised how cheaply you can put together a decent system. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/
RoutemasterFlash
What's a ballpark figure, then?
Herbivore1
Half life: Alyx is an incredible game if you can manage to play it but yeah, more accessible games would be great.
Frothington
I'm still WAITING. >:(

At this point, the infinite hype would make any possible following underwhelming in the extreme. The internet would murder them. /1
cheeseguy3412
The best thing they can do now is let the IP roam free and allow all the various projects to operate free of litigation. /2

All of us are
DrFunkinstein
I’m actually waiting to play the series for the first time when the third one ever comes out.
JobbyJabber24
Why would u potentially never play 2 of the best Sci fi games ever made ?
DrFunkinstein
Savin em for a rainy day
MNColdagain
Like half of my Steam games haha. I'll get to them eventually.. hopefully..
TehWolfs
Are we gonna act like Half life Alyx wasn’t a thing?

Sensible software were doing pixel art before it was cool
TheUnstoppableWampas
They moved the valve.
Zetor
TF2 for me. Then I installed Portal and that fucker MOVED! I jumped out of me seat
thewiggins
wonder what the 3rd logo will never look like...
mobiusm1
Valve missed golden opportunity to model the Index headset to use that for the tension adjuster on the back.
flawlesssoul
You can get a 3D printed one!
mobiusm1
yep, I've already printed mine.
sky64
I can hear this picture...
bilborrax
The valve logo in Alyx is awe inspiring. It's this logo in 3d but the size of a house

ManOfKent1967
Still see that regularly as I'm currently revisiting Half Life 2.
SomeoneTookMyUsernameToo
I replayed both Portals a while ago. Both are still really good games. Half life would be next.
cedarcomb
Tried Portal Stories: Mel or Portal Reloaded? Both are really high quality mods that make completely new (and free) games in the universe.
SomeoneTookMyUsernameToo
Both are on my "to do" list as well, Reloaded specially.

Oh right Marcellus Wallace

Half-life: Alyxs' take gave me big goosebumps in VR. Felt my entire spine kick into fight or flight.

I remember this guy. They actually pulled him off the street because the agency couldn't find someone with the look they wanted.
TinManUNITED
They are two different motos/campaigns: the first--from post--meant"open your eyes". The later design that you pictured is "open your mind".

I just hope he doesn't move. Scared the bejeesus out of me.
TehGuard
Think that's bad? I first noticed it during the opening of half life alyx in vr
ENCHANTMEN
Seeing a massive valve man in the distance slightly turn his head always freaks me out when I play half life alyx
RowanUnderwood
He does the move thing in Half Life Alyx VR, except he's roughly the size of a house.
Duraxis
Yeah, I crapped myself first time I saw the moving intro
EmberRingtail
Me and a friend played portal 2 and he had never noticed, suddenly he screamed one day
CaptainHollister
Wait, what?
TheAuthorOfTheJournalsMyBrother
Some time back Valve updated the intro so he begins to turn towards you
7hatsBollocks
Then snaps back. Makes you think maybe it was all in your head.

Oh fuckkkk that no no no
benzur
In Half Life Alyx for Oculus Quest 2 he verrrry slowly turns towards you once the screen starts fading to black. First time I was like wtf??
birthdaybaboon
Freaked out so much, my initial thought was that I'm having some kind of mental breakdown when it happened

I think that was titles after the Orange Box

Oh faaaaaahk yeah. that really threw me the first time. the little glint in the corner of his eye.
wartoaster
The VR one is wild, he's 10 times your size and looms, then begins to turn as it fades out. Creppy AND spoopy
DKB13
This is the best advertisement for VR I've ever encountered

HL Alyx has an intro section that lasts maybe 45 seconds, and I spent about an hour there, just *being* there

Pisses me off that they are leaving us hanging with HL3. They have the money to finish it, instead they put out a game that only runs on VR
DorkJedi
had steam from HL1 and nothing else for a while. then came the Orange Box...
DOSGamerMan
Was so good
JakSandrow
I enjoyed Black Mesa, the remake in the Source engine
JobbyJabber24
Yeah it's has some really comical moments man freaking love it, extremely well done remake. Devs really love the franchise
JakSandrow
Xen was absolutely their love letter to the franchise - reimagining what could have been. And the soundtrack had me in tears.
DOSGamerMan
The little differences did make it fun.
YeahNahNahYeahNahYeah
Yep, playing it now.
