@@gameraiders4749 The ending of Half-Life Alyx is kinda all the confirmation you need. Eli handing Gordon the crowbar and saying ‘we’ve got work to do’ is a clear indicator towards Half-Life 3 finally coming.
I don’t know… I honestly kinda hated the HL:A ending, and it has me extremely worried for any potential HL3 that we may get. One thing I absolutely _hate_ in all of fiction with every fiber of my being is Time Travel. It’s messy, overly convoluted, and paradoxical to an extent that it destroys any sense of meaningful continuity.

@Colpus I dunno… I guess I’m hoping that this is less of a Time Travel situation and more of an actual prequel, and that Alyx encountered the G-Man long before HL2. Who knows, though? It’s hard to say because that would contradict some of the things that were already established by HL2.
@@GreenEyedWolf404 Yeah it kills the intrigue, when G-man can just stop the time and vaporize Gordon at any moment, or create new timeline where everything is different, etc etc.
The fact that you take the time to find the little references in these games really makes me appreciate both the little details and references the developers put in, and the time you put into these videos
In Henry Stickmin Completing the Mission theres a cutscene during the train sequence where a soldier will say "WE. CAN'T. GET. IN." referencing Half Life 1's Grunt's Voice Lines
In Fleeing the Complex (4:16) the G-man actually makes four total appearances in different parts of the game. You are suppose to click on those four appearances of him to get a G-man-related achievement.
4:28 Ah, you’re right. That box also might be a reference because boxes are in half life. Same with that rocket, because there’s a few rockets in the half life series like that. Plus, there’s water too, just like in half life.
@@Awfulfeature You're taking what I jokingly said as me trying to insult someone who said a boat might have been a reference to the borealis since the G-Man was there. Calm your tits lol
4:19 There also was an achievement where if you clicked on G-MAN in all of the scene he appears in, you will get said trophy, the description is also a reference to GMAN's speech at the start of HL2.
Fun Fact: In the old Infiltrating the Airship in the Henry Stickmin series still being on Newgrounds or something the Gravity Gun WAS actually there before getting replaced with the other one in The Henry Stickmin Collection. The model was the exact one from Half-Life. This should be known already.
The great part about the TF2 one being that it was the middle suit that has the crowbar and isn't there when you travel back, obviously referencing the start of Half Life where the middle one is the only suit present
Payday 2 also has another reference. During the Counterfeit heist you interact with electric boxes from "White Mesa" with a very familiar looking logo on them.
Also, in tG-Man's bio in The Henry Stickmin Collection, his name is stated as Garry Mann, from which Garry is a reference to Garry' Mod (more commonly known as gmod) and Mann is probably a reference to Mann Co. from Team Fortress 2.
I really like that Half Life reference in Dead Cells Also, not related to HL but Portal, in minecraft's early versions if you made a cake you would get the achievement "the cake is a lie"
exists a game who have a diference to half life 3 the game is a website and in that theres a app who is half life 3 when you click on it says "stealing files" is impossible of load the game.
Experiencing that part in Half Life Alyx left a smile on my face for days. I was totally ready to go when I got to wield the Crowbar. That game made me fall in love with Half Life all over again. I desperately hope 3 is in VR.
i dont think 3 will be in vr, but you will still be able to play it in vr like you can play hl2 in vr and honestly it would kind of ruin if for me if it was in vr. I want to experience half life again, like how it used to be, half life alyx was fine in vr as it was sort of a spinoff (only continued story by 10 seconds) and valve would get lots of backlash if they released it in vr seen as most people dont have a vr headset. However, if they did, their valve index sales would go through the roof.

There is one also in STALKER SoC were you go in a tunnel in the outskirts of rostok and you find a dead guy named "Gordon Freeman" and he has a special pistol.
Just a random question for Valve, no hidden meaning behind it or anything: how many half lives does it take for the original amount of phosphorus -32 to decay to 1/8 of its original amount?
Fun fact: in doom eternal on the same book shelf as the mess science book is a book about mustaches which is a reference to Markapliers dad which was emotional to Mark.
5:30 im pretty sure it is confirmed that HL3 has been in development and probably still is. The thing is that only a hand full of people are working on that project.
Nota Half-Life 3 reference but Minecraft also has another reference to Half-Life. There's an achievement if you ride a minecart in a continuous line for so many blocks long. The name of the achievement is called 'On A Rail', a reference to one of the chapter titles in Half-Life 1.
There is also a reference in Shadowgun: Legends. When you need to open three vaults, the third one is missing, and there is a lambda sign (half-life logo) on the wall.
steamworld dig is supposed to be people waiting outside a game store to open to buy HL3, so that gordon is just some guy cosplaying in a HEV suit, camping outside the store with tents to be the first ones in line
Theres also another reference of HL on Minecraft, the End portal it is like... “Xen”, for the same colour-texture of the Cobblestone and also the tower of Obsidian
