Another photo from Kane's Valve visit has dropped, this time featuring a Freeman mural.

For some extra information about Kane that I should mention: last month he did an interview where he talked about Portal 1 & 2 inspiring a good amount of his Backrooms concepts.


He also has two Portal shorts on his YouTube channel from several years ago, before he did the Backrooms stuff.

Eh, wouldn't be the worst pick I suppose. Better than JJ at least but that's not saying much.

Guy clearly has passion for the franchise(s), if he's actually picked for the job then I would be much more satisfied with that than the vast majority of current Hollywood hacks. That "Welcome to the Enrichment Center" video also basically is just a high-effort atmospheric tribute trailer for the games, you really have to be a certain type of autist to do that lol. Not to mention the literal short-film.

e: Entirely unrelated, here is a video theorizing about the Combine's water tampering I just watched.

You think someone high profile like this visits and they have him sign a special NDA and show him HL3?
 
S-so it wasn't with the Steam Machine, b-but new Half Life will be announce with the Frame, r-right?

It'll be announced when it's ready to be shown off and they know they won't delay it again.

I always believed it would be announced months after the hardware is released anyway and I think people need to get that through their skulls already.
 
This talk of movies is reminding me again how much of a FUCKING MISSED OPPORTUNITY IT WAS that VALVE FUCKING CUCKED US FROM AN ADULT SWIM TF2 SFM SERIES BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO HIT DEADLINES. FUCK I'm STILL MAD ABOUT THAT
Adult swim during that period was so far up their own asshole with cheap merchandising that I'm absolutely certain Mike Lazzo had a very productive conversation with Gabe Newell about the future of their partnership and then followed it up with flat out disrespectful terms

Like "okay since you paid for the production of the show we'll keep the ad revenue since it's on our network" type shit. Mike Lazzo is indeed that kind of shameless jew. The cable industry does not have any respect for talent and valve clearly has a lot of respect for theirs.

Sorry for the doublepost, but...
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.)
Crossposting an update: turns out, this entire fucking thing was unofficial, they did it without a license, Valve has forced them to take it down and give out refunds. What the fuck, lmfao.
 
There's ice on it and an aperture faintly visible inside the orange part. A fan could easily have made this as a hypothetical HL3 logo but if this is real we're totally back Borealis Bros
DBrand put that logo in their promo video as the ending stinger. I archived it in this post.

I just saw this getting discussed: three days ago, Tyler McNigger basically did a live read of his next main HLX video. I've clipped it out for ease of viewing. He mentions Valve getting mad at DBrand over the HL3 thing, and also implies knowledge of what Valve has delayed HLX for (graphics, allegedly). Take this for whatever it's worth.
 
Whoops, I just posted this in the video game chat thread without noticing this one. Anyway, is it possible to avoid taking damage while doing this part at the end of Episode 1? It looks impossible. Maybe you can somehow kill the Strider before climbing the ladder?

been a very long time but maybe there's a piece of sheet metal or some other large prop lying around that you can use as a shield while you climb up the ladder backwards?
that whole section is really fucking annoying either way, only slightly less than the parking garage

I saw, I'm just saying DBrand could have made it themselves as a believable logo without anyone there having actually seen anything official.

Skip to 1:21:29 on this video, looks like he just hides behind the train and jumps up the ladder when it stops to recharge, and uses a rocket to further delay more attacks until he can get behind cover.
