There's literally nothing.
I just saw this and I guess you're technically wrong, if you count DBrand's official high-effort short marketing for the Companion Cube Steam Machine skin as teasing.

(The skit overall is actually pretty good and high-quality, I was quite amused.)

I think I remember hearing these guys are trolls in what they promote. But certainly Valve wouldn't let them get away with doing something like this, would they?

I saw the Pinsplash one. Curious to know if any of you know what the fuck he was sperging about at the very end? Something about a Nazi? I'm not in his discord and he doesn't link a Xitter account. Are any of you in his discord and able to translate the tism? I do seem to recall recent usage of Sailor Moon clips, which leads me to speculate he is a liberal harpy IRL and possible a troon-to-be. It's regrettably common among Sailor Moon fans.
 
Looks like the leakers are right because there's no way they would put this up now (and sponsor twitter posts from extremely popular game news aggregate accounts) if more details weren't imminent either later today or tomorrow.

I know this is only tertiarily relevant to Half-Life at this point but it's Portal and we don't have a Portal thread. Also I hope McVicker is wrong and we get a HLX tease in some capacity at the very least.

With the Steam machine price, no one is buying this lol

And yes, I know morons will still buy it but it just goes to show how gaming it’s becoming a rich man’s hobby
 
The code leaks were way too frequent in recent years and they started just shortly before Half Life Alyx came out
Have there been any retrospective videos or articles going over the notable HL:A leaks with hindsight from the game coming out?
I really want to know what leaks were right on the money, what ones were sort of close but missed the big picture and what ones were just complete dataminer schizo delusions.

McVicker is a bit obsessive, but he has enough free time to datamine most things valve released and is very public about his "research". A broken clock has to be right eventually.

They used the music from Portal Reloaded (mod) trailer. The skit (and the mod) were actually pretty good.
D-Brand really went all out with the Portal imagery. I am actually shocked Valve let them get away with heavy use of mainline characters (Glados, "Dave" johnson) and general Portal 2 imagery when they are only advertising a third party product. I wonder what kind of a kickback Valve gets.

My memories are not too clear because I don't have time to look back, but I remember reading about HLVR for a while before it got revealed, like at least a year or two.

Tyler also wasn't blacklisted by Valve back then after he streamed that Half Life Alyx beta build without Valve's permission. So he had insider info which he doesn't have for HLX now.

Half Life Alyx, while there were prototypes and such prior, I think started development in 2015-2016, so it took 4 or 5 years of total development. HLX, apparently started development shortly before or just after Alyx was released. So that's been in development for at least 6 years so far.
 
Update to this:
I don't think we have a Portal thread, so I'll put this here since they share a universe.

Honestly? Probably a much better fucking choice than the previous picking of Jar Jar Abrams.

Also, calling it now: a Portal movie would probably have some kind of ending zinger either showing Black Mesa or some Combine shit. Unless they decide to completely forgo the Half-Life attachment for some reason.
Kane, the director of the Backrooms film, and who wants to make a Portal movie, has now visited Valve.

Well, looks to be your lucky day.

So something happened, eh?
People on Twitter seem to be circlejerking about it being because of the HL3 bit at the end. However, they also still have this page up apparently.

I find this development extremely fascinating. I really would like to know the actual reason for this. I'm also glad I archived it.

Wouldn't it be crazy if this is what led Valve being forced to reveal HLX like with Alyx and the translated scripts?
