Half Life: Alyx!!!
I may have to take back most of what I've said in the past about Valve if this ends up being half decent and isn't only an hour long!!!https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1196566870360387584

Very intrigued to see how this pans out About time. Good news and I look forward to it. (I still hope HLVR2 comes however).
Fingers crossed it's good however I won't hold my breath for a quick release. My (albeit limited) experience of Valve (going by the Index) is the time between announcements and availability is quite short.
Given that they've apparently said there'll be something this year, and that they now have an announcement coming, I'd expect the game to be available to buy shortly after that.
I've never played Half Life, though, and I don't know what it is. So I'm not all that excited.
It's a big positive, though, that so many people are. An announcement of an announcement? I hope there is a lot more to show and we're playing this game soon.
When I saw this earlier I saw the Twitter account had only been created June 2019 and this was its first ever tweet. So I was highly dubious. It has been verified though and reported and retweeted a number of times by reliable people, so guessing it's genuine. Weird why Valve communicated in this way. There is a Steam Twitter which is much more active (I finks). I'm still not getting my hopes up TOO high, because these fudgeers have let us all down so much in the past. I'd be happy with a 5 hour single player campaign though, but any less than that and I might have a problem. I wonder if this is still coming out this year like they have been promising for the last six months or so? Latest rumour is March next year.data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 So they fibbed as expected. I am no valve apologist... Far from it, but a delay is not really a fib in my book
