Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and call it an over-optimistic estimate.

We still don't know for certain that it's not coming this year.

I know everyone freaks out about Half-Life series, but I'm unfortunately in the "meh" camp. I played HL1 and HL2 ages ago and still have the discs. Can I even remember what it was like playing it at the time? Nope, 'fraid not. It just wasn't very memorable.

Still, if Valve can produce a fully-fledged VR game with the polish of The Lab, I'm interested....

Some really great opinions and perspectives on what this could and should be on this weeks Giant Bombcast. Well worth a listen. You don't bet against Valve, but they could easily get this wrong.

@ArmitageShanks have to agree with you. I remember really enjoying Half-life but it's been soooooo long I've forgotten everything and I'm really not feeling invested in the world or the characters. There is a good chance that will all change as soon as I fire this up though.

@Nivek TT I have fond memories of FarCry which I think came out around the same time as HL2 (or even earlier perhaps). It had fantastic graphics and physics for the time, and was generally an enjoyable game to play (at least before it turned into a silly monsterfest in the second half).

I think Half Life and Half Life 2 were so big because at the time the Source Engine was streets ahead of any other engines available at the time in terms of eye candy and performance. If you start up Half Life 2 today it doesn't show its age.

They basically changed the landscape for FPS games. Both games at the time of there release were monumental. That's why you generally see them listed very high up in some of the greatest games of all time lists. Sure there old games now and playing them today shows there age a lot but at the time they were amazing. Im very interested to see just how high quality valve can put out a new Half life game. Its a shame its not Half Life 3 and its VR only but if its to a very high quality then I maybe tempted.
