Half-Life 3 won’t be a VR game, says Valve

4.6
Valve’s Chet Faliszeck spoke at EGX today and of course someone asked him about Half-Life 3.

In a Q&A session following his talk on VR, one member of the audience cheekily asked if Half-Life 3 would be a VR game.

“No,” he replied.

He then spoke about how VR headsets will not be going wireless anytime soon due to the bandwidth problems (two screens need to refresh 90 times a second, basically. You need cables for that).

When asked about the Half-Life 3 question again by the same person, he joked “I said ‘no’.”

Was it a serious question from the audience? We’ll, it was certainly genuine and we’ve all thought about it. But was it a serious answer?

When it comes to the near-mythical Half-Life 3, who knows.

Polygon Valve can't count to 3 confirmed.


Isn't Left For Dead 3 a thing?


l4d3 is a thing since its a source 2 game that will be release soon(no one knows yet) but it is a thing as for hl3 im pretty sure they is a chance and the guy who said they cant count to three maybe they dont want a third game in any of their games they have 4 cs games which tells you they can count to 3 also most devs kills a game after the second one so its maybe real maybe not but l4d3 is real that is if the dota 2 tour rumor was real which most likely was should tell you
