The freebie is another canny PR move by Valve, which is aiming to make waves in the VR gaming arena, which seems to have plateaued after the initial rush of excitement during 2016/2017. Not only would it please us fans to finally have Gordon back for duty but it would mean we would finally get close to the fabled release of Half-Life 3.Valve has announced that it is celebrating the impending release of Half-Life: Alyx by making the whole of the preceding franchise free to download and play - until the new VR-only game is released. Half-Life needs either Episode Three or my Countdown idea to happen.
Would you like to play a much anticipated game that has hours of backstory that just to bring you up to speed? No you’d rather get right into the action knowing full well what’s on the line and the mission at hand. What we should be asking for is the continuation of Half-Life 2’s story so Half-Life 3 can actually make sense. So calm your horses on the Half-Life 3 talk. Releasing several 2 to 3 hour episodes over the course of a year or so would make Half-Life 3 a better game both technically and visually. If they start out on their new engine with these episodes, each one is going to get better and better as they themselves they better at using the new engine. Having some sort of smaller episodic content that leads up to the next numbered game may even help Valve get make Half-Life 3 even better. There can be no Half-Life 3 without finishing the story we started back in 2004. Yet, the story has to bridge the gap to Half-Life 3. I really can’t see an Episode Three happening anymore. Half-Life Countdown or something to that effect could be another episodic game that starts from the ending of Episode Two and ends a year or so before Half-Life 3’s events, which would be an accurate release schedule for the actual game.
