I’ve been convinced of this for a while too. Plus, HL1 and 2 were both groundbreaking in one way or another - there was simply nothing like it before each of those titles. For HL3 to come around, it will need to reshape gaming again, and I don’t see that happening. Without another groundbreaking gameplay mechanic, it’ll just be just another Call Of Shooty in a saturated market, and it will disappoint long time fans.
Yes, but that’s also the reason why it was called Alyx and not 3: VR was nothing new at the time. While it is arguably a great game (Or so I’ve been told. Never played it myself), it didn’t introduce something brand new.
