I would kill for Portal 3...

sigh...

View on HN

I would peacefully protest for HL3

I would self-immolate for a game that simultaneously served as the sequel to both HL2 and Portal 2 (i.e. Gordon Freeman has both a gravity gun and a portal gun)

Isn't that what both stories were aiming for (converging)? I seem to remember a lot of hints dropped in both.

No you wouldn't.

At least give him a chance.

It would rather defeat the purpose.

I guess the immolation would come after the playing?

Is there anyone at Valve who still builds games?

They literally released two games in just the last year.

Artifact and DOTA Underlords?

Wow, they totally fell under my radar, which is impressive when they own the #1 game distribution platform in the world. I remember seeing mention of Artifact, but didn't notice DOTA at all.

Rumor is they have a big VR game coming out soon.

If only they had a puzzle franchise begging for a third game that would be amazing (okay, maybe a little nauseating) in VR.

Valve have stated over and over that teleport locomotion is what they believe is the correct one. Portal's mechanic is about movement as much as portals - it simply wouldn't work in this environment.

The Portal/Half-Life universe (they're the same) itself? Absolutely.

A little nauseating? It was giving me motion sickness on just my screen!

If they give us Half Life 3 in the form of a VR game I'll be extraordinarily disappointed.

I'll take anything at this point

They have set such an impressively high bar it would likely be a disappointment. I am a fan of letting things end on a high note instead of turning them into a never ending franchise and trying to extract every last cent out of the IP.
