Now you know. Half-Life: Alyx was actually an interactive trailer for Half-Life 3 all along.
No one could have resumed Half-Life: Alyx better in a sentence like that.
Half Life: PT (Playable Teaser)
The best teaser ever made, IMO
Best trailer ever
I’m thinking that half life 3 is just ep 1 and 2 combined cus they said they would cut it into parts but it’s just a theory A GAM-
Bruh gman talking behind you feels so weird the sound design is so good in this game
@Artistic Cat Yeah that's what definitely caught me off guard with his encounter. Which, I'm assuming, was intentional by design. My god what a superbly made game
@Artistic Cat That set up only makes sense if the player remains static. We can look around and turn away, changing the direction in real time, yes?
@Artistic Cat Valve would never risk the player "messing up the audio". I've never seen a single player stand still in this scene. They tend to look around and try to face the direction his voice is coming from, as anyone would in real life. Your statements are contradictive. What is your source on their recording setup?
@@spbalance source 2 has all that stuff built into the engine
17:46 G-Man spawns off a copy to see what would happen if he got the Combine off earth _anyway_
loooooooooooool
"Imma put a save slot here, just for the lolz"
*[Quicksaving]*
my man had to reload real quick from a quick save
holy shit it's literally the "Quicksaving" Skyrim meme
I never even noticed at 8:26 you can hear one of the last bits from the Alyx and Gman conversation, after what she does. That's wild that I haven't noticed, I wonder how many snippets like that are scattered throughout the ending?
WOW
what is she talking ? cant hear
@@booms5810 She said "So dad is okay?"
@@FireFox2590 ahh okay nice thank u bro
Isn't that from the beginning of the game when Russell rescues Alyx?
the end of Half Life: alyx can be considered a teaser of Half Llife 3
Adrian shepherd vr is what i want !!!!
It pretty much confirms it without directly confirming it. I highly doubt Valve would be brazen enough to tell us “we got work to do” at the end of the game and then never deliver a sequel. I say that even taking into account that they made us wait 13 years for this.
@@GIJew well it seems like we aint getting shit
@@zyklan2197 making a game like this takes a lot of time it took too much time to make gta 6 its gonna take time to make half life 3
@@yourkingorginal3286 yh but we aint getting no mentions or anything its been like 2 decades since hlf2 and now its been years after alyx with no mention of a sequel even tho they teased it
Seeing that look of determination on your face while you grabbed the crowbar made me smile.
This entire final chapter is worth the price of admission several times over. I was in utter AWE while playing this. I was so overwhelmed with emotions at what I was experiencing that by the time I got those Vort powers, I almost had tears in my eyes from sheer joy lol. It sounds insane but the level of immersiveness is just beyond any other form of entertainment I've experienced. Half-Life: Alyx is a top 5 game for me.
100% agreed. I played pretty much everything that came out since 1998 and alyx is arguably the best game I ever played
Valve's goal with each half-life game was to revolutionize the industry. That's why the episodes felt a bit bland, is because they didn't really add much to the table.
Alyx, however, is the best VR game so far, by far, and it wouldn't work at all without the VR part. I heard a theory video a few years back of why half-life 3 hadn't been released, and they said that it's likely because valve wanted to tap into VR.
“It’s worth sitting through the credits for.” He said while standing.
*doubles over with irony *
I just started getting into half life cause of my friend but even then im interested in it
Check out my animated series! Its a good way to get started, if I do say so myself
@@Validatormaybelater definetly will
Literally a 10 hour trailer 😂, half life 3 will be the game to end all games
@@kristoferkoessel4354 I still want another portal game
@@KydaWoIf Yeah, Atleast in portal we got an actual conclusion. But I agree
16:16 - Your slow smile says it all lol
*Seeing your reflection on the metal of the crowbar... It fills you with DETERMINATION! 23:33
Is that an UNDERTALE reference?
@@LeviSword Yes, yes it is.
It's funny coming back to watch this two years later.
I still feel like the next Half-Life is right around the corner!
still waitin
@@satyamedh just give it another 13 years
I just finished it about an hour ago and I completely lost it
I admire your patience man... I was so worried about spoilers I couldn't wait and had to get VR haha
@@Validatormaybelater gordan is the best but not the only one, i wan Adrian shepherd vr, poor guy has been in stasis the longest
I had the same reaction at the end also! Hope another one comes out soon!
Another lets play? Or just video in general? I primarily make animations, but if you guys want to see more gameplay I think I could arrange something.
@@Validatormaybelater They mean another half life game, obviously.
@@Bry.89 Obviously 🙄
Epistle 3 is one timeline and now we have another to look forward too
So...we can just say...that G-Man had Half-Life 3 on his suitcase all along lmao
alyx was my introduction into half life(i grew up mostly with console games and not many pc games, so sadly the half life games weren't such a big part of my childhood).
Even if I knew nothing about half life, this game was still fantastic. This was actually a great introduction to the franchise from my perspective, it got me extremely invested in the entire lore. And curiously, that scene with g-man at the very end is so much more impactful when you actually have no previous knowledge of half life lore. It completely subverted my expectations, just suddenly seeing this guy in a suit turn around and manipulate reality like a god, especially not knowing who he is, completely blew my mind.
hard to say it's "more impactful", but yeah, I can imagine how insane that must've felt. Ig it's just more impactful in some ways, and less in others.
My roommates came down to check on me while I watched this because I started screaming
Dude that hilarious! xD
Perhaps a psychiatrist
There are little details that you put on the video that I didn't really know about
Btw can't wait for what's to come
Now that’s how you grab the crowbar
I just finished the game today myself and I loved the ending! This is my first half life game but I’ve went back and have been doing research and Gman is so interesting and I love his whole aesthetic how he opens the door and everything turns white ughhhhh and I wanna know who his employers are!!! Ugh I can’t wait for a sequel!
Hl2 and the episodes are sequels to alyx
"Seus empregadores" são os desenvolvedores do jogo. O mundo de half life é uma criação na nossa realidade onde alguém ordena as funções de gman
I have seen many-a crowbar grab.
This is the best one I've seen so far.
You couldn't see it cuz of the headset, but I had a genuine look of determination (and a bit of grief) on my face, if I recall correctly...
23:36
Not the most elegant of weapons but it gets the job done!
Loved watching your playthrough!
Love your reaction at the end.
I was shocked too for some minutes.
Thats a sensation hard to find this days in videogames.
So excited to see your reaction.
This is my favorite reaction honestly.
I am so happy you're invested in the HL series, its' been the inspiration and basis of almost every creative works Ive done since 2005
i.e. making maps of my budding sci-fi story, maps of other places, trying to make a mod of my own story
its so intensely important to my creative journey that even just seeing younger t ypes makes me so happy. If HL3 takes 40 years, I hope you get to play it even if I dont.
Actually, I hope that they cannonize Gordon being mute throughout HL2 as being some sort of mental suppression field around G-Man's agents that prevents them from telling others any details that might give G-Man away and also prevents others from expecting that agent to speak. Then in HL3, Valve needs to hire Ross Scott (of the Freeman's Mind series) to voice Gordon. Maybe it will never happen, but I can hope!
See, why would he also be mute in hl1?
@@noidTV Maybe he's not. He didn't interact with others as much in HL1. It's possible Gordon just isn't very talkative and with the added shock of resonance cascade and the resulting chaos, he's just too concentrated on survival to speak. By the time he meets up with Kleiner in HL2, I would think he'd be able to talk unless there were something interfering though.
@@Caffin8tor ig so, but like you’d think he’d say something to the scientists and guards, or to the g-man
@@noidTV He's late for work. Maybe he's a bit hung over. I guess we'll have to wait for HL3 to see what they do.
@@Caffin8tor lmfao gman basically hired a hung over guy with a gun
I know alyx came out a while ago but I can't stop watching old videos of it.
i love his reaction to the ending where he said and then im glad to see you so happy
Loved It!
Judith Mossman and Borealis will have to wait. Alyx, here we come.
Or perhaps they might be able to help track Alyx and the G-Man down?
@@mb2001 yeah, Maybe. Like that brain-injured Vortigaunt said: "It's a matter of perspective."
@@odavidsilvalima I remember how vehemently against using the Borealis Eli was in Episode Two. Now that Alyx has been taken, is he willing to "start another Black Mesa Incident" just to get her back?
@@mb2001 I don't know. Maybe he might change his mind and use the power of Borealis for space-time traveling
Love how you can see the smile on him when he hears the health reminder of the HEV suit
Interesting that when Alyx freed Gman from the Vault, Freeman wakes up just to find out Alyx is gone, this is a better multiverse than the MCU now boy
Great reaction!
i like that you can here echos of the ending where she says stuff like "so, dads okay?" before she fights the combine one last time
All this time later and the prevailing thought in my head is just "They actually fucking did it"
I'm glad I got to experience something so profound, I'll fondly remember this game long after my willingness/ability to play games is done.
I haven't had the chance to play it yet but when I watched a playthrough (Vinesauce Vinny specifically) for the first time I literally cried
Just like me, you were just at a loss of words during the ending haha
It's just how any game should end, the player having to mentally go through it until you can truly realise what you just experienced
That confident grab of the crowbar. We all feel that we ALL feel that
Your reaction was actually so pure 🥹
God I love Half Life, love seeing reactions similar to mine haha, good stuff
a little late but I really appreciate the info on jake, i was curious as to who they were referring to
i love the game so much, i appreciate
This is what I was waiting for!
Half Life Alyx has got to be the best looking and most polished VR title I've played yet. I'm not even a massive half life fan (although I do love the series) and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish..
Normally I'd ignore a retcon, but this was brilliant. Use a prequel to change the future ending to an even bigger cliff hanger, and opening the door to a whole new world of speculation.
Potential for two separate games, OR a game involving both Alyx and Gordon
watching you grab the crowbar reminded me of how i felt/feel everytime i grab the crowbar, and it literall made my tear up. fucking valve...
cool video dude
Dude i love VALVE so much! after so long they finally made a new game, some people may be mad since its not HL3 but the ending change blew my mind and half life alyx can really change the VR industry, Actually no it already has! VAVLE has a way of blowing us away and thats what i LOVE about them. VALVE brings so much freedom in HL1,HL2, HLA. In both HL1-2 YOU are gordon, you chose how he is. want him to kill scientist's and be a maniac? he will. Want him to kill zombies with barnacles? He can! VALVE, really thank you. I cried at the end of ALYX and im happy to see another fan happy about this. I also cant stop laughing about the brain interface thing at the end, Good day man. If you wanna play TF2 Sometime reply to my comment with your steam friend code or username :D
When I first saw that scene I was just filled with joy.
Unforeseen Consequences
I played hl1 when it was released. Last hl game I played was episode 2. Had no idea they made this game. If I played it through and saw this ending. I would have just laid down and felt like shit.
I LOVE the last track of the game hired truly a amazing song
the symbolic taking up of the crowbar again, they havent forgotten us after all
i fucking cried when Eli handed me the crowbar.
The combine going to such great lengths to imprison him and him saying that his employers don't want to take the combine off of Earth, what is his fuckin goal?!
You don't go exterminating bees when you're collecting honey.
not really his goal, but the goal of his "employers", as he stated.
Bruh I bet you GMan will have Alyx fight against Gordon in whatever the next installment will be….if we ever get one
You may or may not see this but where do you get the ceiling hangers for your wires. I could totally use that

Here ya go! x3
They totally made this game so that Epistle 3 wouldn't be canon anymore and they could make Half life 3
this was my first vr game and i was stunned. iam 38years old, but playing vr, made me feel like iam 14 again. i wasnt aware that i can stil feel so much awe after beeing exposed to game for 30 years now. and it was basically the only game i played. after i was done, my wife tried it. she a very anxious person that only ever tried beatsaber so far. she was afraid of the game. everything felt so real to her, that she was scare that anything could jump out at her, anytime. shes extremly afraid of beeing startled and thus, she was tense all the time while she played alex.. tense because she really thinks, that something might scare her so much, that her heart just stops and she dies. our dog picked up that enormous distress my wife was under and since then, you only need to pick up the headset and the dog is running amok, its obvious that the dog now connects the headset with something that one should be afraid of my wife stopped played vr for good due to this, because the dogs well beeing is very important to her and she wants me to stop too because training the dog to live with it, isnt easy for a 10 year old senior dog and to much hassle for her and she cant afford to loos sleep at night and the dog, reacts to stress with diarhea even during the night hours after the case. i hate the situation so much
Valve literally putting the crowbar in the player's hand.
This sure got us pumped.
You should play the first half life too. I will love to see you playing that one too.
The best announce ever
who here played half life 1 when it came out in 1998!?
The GOTY 2020
Awesome
So when he was asked to get rid of the combine. He made a copy? I’m inclined to believe that was the original and he went of to try. The remain version was the future version. And he attempted and failed because he employer told him not too. So he came back and said ya I can’t do it. That’s kinda cool
When I read the lines "We have work to do", I immediately went "Valve isn't serious...are they?", but if it's possibly, they're *finally* fucking getting their asses in gear and just making the legendary HL3.
Man idk if them geving us hope for HL3 is good or bad... soon its been over 20 years ago...
Validator got the crowbar
Yaaaaaaaaaaay
Next up, Half Life: Decay :)
Validator1 even more yay
Interesting what valve will make HL3 or ep3 run on
Source 2
unity
I like how gman just forgets about Adrian shepherd, like bruh just leave alyx and Gordon alone and use Adrian dummy
My theory for the apparition in those rooms is it is a younger G-man. He was a citizen of city-17 who was hired by his employers to go back in time and get Gordon to create the resonance cascade and save him from the destruction of Black Mesa and these rooms and apparitions are his memories.
Bro gman isn't human he is a alien
If valve takes other 12 years in making half life 2: ep3 or even better, half life 3 i will be fucking done...
also the fact that they made hl alyx a VR exclusive kinda upsets me as a low spec gamer lmao
Don't worry. Computer specs will catch up before long and even low-spec systems will handle VR just fine.
Anybody who hasn’t played at least one Half-Life game isn’t a true gamer
Welp, I guess that means I just "earned my wings" by playing HL:Alyx then, serious though I'ma go back and play the others now for sure
Quiet Wanderer But the Episodes are spoiled for you
@@TheAlienGangster knowing the ending doesn't make the journey any worse for me, having all the threads to tie this together makes the whole better
@@UNSCPILOT same here! Just finished the game 20 minutes ago after playing it for almost 8 hours straight 😂 can’t wait to go back and play the other games!
Let's not gatekeep now.. k?
Aww man 😎
I love people who love Half-life like me!
We kicking G-Mans ass next game lads
why does this man look like gordon when he takes the headset off lol
Playing through the whole game just to get 30 seconds of being Freeman. Could never be a more rewarding way to beat a game.
Did you guys notice that G-man sometimes struggles to say employers
Schoolboy cosplays Gordon Freeman 💀
You look like a young Erik Wolpaw.
Oh... OH
You're right! I gotta show my friends this haha
Not the best game, just the best experience of my life !
If the next Half Life will ever come out and it will be an conclusion to the story, Freeman must say at least one word to make this wholesome
I wonder if Mark Laidlaw knew anything about this...
Don't worry, he knows, cuz he helped the new crew to make this game, like they saying.
He helped work on the story as a consultant.
She got hired and taken away. Only time will tell and Gordon must save Alyx. 🤔
cheaple is the true hero of half life
12 years old veteran of hl?
I like VR but I think we all need the old FPS experience if we are getting a real sequel
24:00 yeah that was my reaction too lol
17:16 female streamer webcam
?
I don't know
lmao what did he mean by this
I still think of the ending of Alyx as being the ultimate "screw you" to the half life franchise. Keeping us waiting for an explanation to the cliff hanger left for us in Episode 2 for all this time, just to fucking retcon it
I DON'T MEAN TO BE A DOWNER HERE...[AND I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO THE WRITING STAFF OR THE FANS OR ANYONE ELSE WHEN I SAY THIS STUFF]. BUT I FILL I WANNA VOICE MY OPINIONS ON HL: A, [BTW THE ENDING BLEW MY MIND TOO...KIND OF HAD MY CONFUSED FOR A FEW DAYS ALONG WITH THE FILLINGS I'M ABOUT TO MENTION].
FIRST OFF, I LOVE THE ENDING [THOUGH I'M STILL ON THE FENCE ABOUT IT, DON'T GET ME WRONG I'M GRATEFUL ELI'S ALIVE], BUT I HVE ISSUES WITH IT FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS, AND ONE OF THEM CAN BE CONSIDERED A SMALL NITPICK THAT I MYSELF HONESTLY DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL SOMEONE BROUGHT IT UP IN A COMMENT ON ANOTHER VID ABOUT HLA. WHERE'S THE SECOND ADVISOR, IS IT GONNA BURST THROUGH AND KILL THEM? I HAVE HEARD SOME PPL DON'T LIKE SOME OF THE DIRECTIONS THE NEW WRITERS TOOK AND THAT WAS ONE OF THEM.
ALSO, MY PERSONAL ISSUE IS THAT...I KNOW THINGS TAKE TIME BUT WHY MAKE US WAIT SO MANY YEARS AND HAVE US THINK ELI'S DEAD AND WANT CLOSURE? ONLY TO SAY: "NO HE'S NOT DEAD YOU GRIEVED OVER NOTHING, AND WE'RE GIVING YOU A GAME THAT MOST OF YOU CAN'T PLAY."/IT ALSO DOESN'T COMPLETELY FILL CONNECTED TO THE HL UNIVERSE FOR SOME REASON, AND I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHY, [AGAIN THIS IS ALL MY PERSONAL OPINION].
HMM, MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE OF THE NEW WRITING STAFF.
BUT HEY, TBH [AND AGAIN, I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO MISTER LAIDLAW WHEN I SAY THIS], BUT I LIKED THIS OPTION BETTER THAN "EPISODE 3" THING, DESPITE MY ISSUES WITH THE ENDING OF HL: A [AND THE GAME IT'S SELF, WITCH I WON'T LIST HERE TO SAVE TIME] I HOPE THIS NEW OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE BETTER IDEAS FOR A POSSIBLE HL:3!
I FOR ONE WANT TO SEE THE G-MAN BE BROUGHT DOWN ALONG WITH THE COMBINE BY GORDON AND EVEN ELI AND ALYX...AND POSSIBLE ADRIAN SHEPHARD. I ALSO HOPE WE GET A HAPPY ENDING [I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABUT THAT, CONSIDERING HOW MOST HL GAMES END...I JUST HOPE THE FRANCHISE DOESN'T END ON A CLIFFHANGER AND/OR A DOWN NOTE LIKE GOD FORBID THE DEATH OF A GOOD CHARACTER].
I JUST WANNA SEE THE WORLD GO BACK TO NORMAL AND GORDON AND ALYX HAVE A HAPPY LIFE AS THEY HELP REBUILD SOCIETY, AGAIN, WITHT HE HELP OF ADRIAN MAYBE, MAYBE HE CAN ALSO TRAIN NEW SOLDIERS JUST IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
FORGIVE MY SPELLING/GRAMMAR IF THERE ARE ANY MISTAKES.
BTW I LOVE THE ENDING MUSIC IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE HALF-LIFE THEMES OF ALL TIME!
Very well though out.. thank you for sharing!
@@Validatormaybelater NO PROBLEM, LIKE YOU SAID, WE'RE ALL A COMMUNITY SHARING IDEAS PERSONAL OPINIONS AND ADVICE. :)
>"Gordon and Alyx have a happy life"
*Getting flashbacks of Kleiner's speech on how the people needs to "get busy"
Lmao
@@TouhouFan LOL ^_^
Bit big and long, but the reasoning for most the stuff here was almost entirely background/company reasoning.
Between a entire script being leaked for a game that was for financial reasons not even in development yet, and then internal struggles. They elected to instead do a retcon but from a good game and do the retcon in a way thats internally consistent with the story.
my take away from this vid is how he got his cord hung up its smart
what a veteran means anyway?
If they've been doing it for a couple of years now... Veteran is the right word.
Schoolboy veteran 😂💀
